The Queen W HCD is unique in that it stresses lowrise built form as a key heritage character. Most other HCDs don't do that.While I haven't reviewed the HCD documents, I know one issue is shading. 222 Queen West is the north side of the street, so shade shouldn't be as much of a problem for a potential redevelopment here...
What the purchaser is probably thinking is doing another Smart House type development - match the height of the Mackenzie Investments building adjacent then take it to the board and hope you get it.
