Looks like the Queen Conservation District will get thrown out the window for these developments. Ontario Wild Wild West Planning 101.
They (IO) say that they will respect the Queen Conservation District guidelines, and the development of the NE corner will minimize shadowing on Ogden P.S. and its playground. (Ogden P.S. is located just to the NE of the that site on Phoebe St.) We will see I guess...Looks like the Queen Conservation District will get thrown out the window for these developments.

There are still underused surface parking lots on Spadina N. of Queen, and many of the (non-historic) buildings on Queen W. of Spadina are in quite poor shape so the area could use some TLC generally. Hopefully the Ontario line and Queen/Spadina station bring some of that.

I mean anything over 3 storeys is already throwing the City's planning policy out the window.. what's another 50 floors at that point?Nope. Current TOC plans have it in the high teens / low 20s.

Which certainly doesn't look like 70s.
But those were very preliminary, to say the least and we will almost certainly be getting a revision.
This is the province's page for this site, there are no updated concepts posted there yet: https://www.infrastructureontario.c...ch/queen-spadina--transit-oriented-community/
