This new to the City Application seeks to replace an existing lowrise rental apartment building with a new 35 storey building.
Site as is:
Application:
www.toronto.ca
From the Docs:
Ground Floor Plan:
Parking Ratio: 0.12
Elevator Ratio: 3 elevators to 365 units = 0.82 elevators per 100 units.
Comments:
Its Turner-Fleischer, sigh.
This is less notable for what is, than what it is beside.
This one is immediately north of proposal by TAS at 38 Walmer ( Church site);
urbantoronto.ca
It is also south of a reasonably handsome modernist 13 storey apartment building by Uno Prii
Height: Given that the TAS proposal is 20s and the City is not yet sold; and the Prii to the north is 13, the ask here seems out of step. I find it highly probable the City will oppose this on height alone.
Giving this one a hair cut just to its southerly neighbour's proposed height , never mind shaving a further storey or two may render the project non-viable.
If this one comes out the other end of the sausage making process with anything other than a refusal report, I would expect a substantial height reduction.
Of note, this one is light on separation distances: 3M to the church, 10M to the west property line (maybe); 7.5M to the Prii

38 Walmer Road | 79.58m | 20s | TAS | ZAS Architects
TAS has registered to lobby on this one effective today, so somethings a brewing once more. The description reveals a bit:
