Can the developer go ahead without amendments to the city’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law?
No, the development requires an amendment to the City of Toronto Zoning By-law to permit an apartment building, and to allow for the added height and density, building setbacks, and building depth. An Official Plan amendment is also required to permit a 4-storey apartment in a neighbourhood where 4-storey apartments are not the prevailing building type.
