Origin
Summary
This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the application for a 74-storey mixed use building located at 372-378 Yonge Street.
The proposal is not acceptable, the tower is too tall, and the site is too small to accommodate a tall building with appropriate tower stepbacks and tower separation distances. Staff will work with the applicant to determine what form of developmet may be appropriate and achievable on this site. It is not clear whether a tall building is achievable without working with the adjacent land owner to the west to achieve appropriate tower separation distances.
Staff are currently reviewing the application. It has been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application with the Ward Councillor.
