This application proposes to amend the former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86 to permit the redevelopment of 1926 Lake Shore Boulevard West with two residential towers of 42 and 48 stories connected by a 4 storey podium. The proposed development would contain 847 residential units and have a floor area of over 78,600 m2, representing an FSI of 17.6 times the lot area.
