They are definitely setting it up for a policy fight on 5.4.10 of OPA 405:

5.4.10. On Midtown Mid-rise sites, additional storeys may be considered without an amendment to this Plan, provided the applicant demonstrates to the City’s satisfaction that:

a. there will be adequately limited shadow impacts on any public street;
b. the additional storeys fit within any required angular plane and will be progressively stepped back from adjacent areas designated Neighbourhoods, Parks and Open Space Areas and any side streets; and
c. additional storeys will be stepped back from the street to minimize its appearance from the street.

Just reading that grocery-list of "magical-thinking" that someone actually wrote into OPA documents makes me want to bang my head against my desk... 😵‍💫

This is the second Refusal Report headed to the January 6th, 2022 meeting of NYCC.

Yes though they need to be careful with these things, because the applicants materials read that Staff informed them of the need for an OPA or that the proposal didn't conform to that policy. The bolded part below is the cruz as well, as it is clear the applicant is not going to address the matters Staff want as part of the ZBA, and therefore, they would need to be exempted from the policy by that logic.

While there is flexibility provided in the Secondary Plan in order to achieve a greater or lesser height in each Character Area, exempting the site from the Policy 5.4.3 is both unnecessary and inappropriate. The existing policy can continue to provide guidance by establishing and reinforcing the expected heights within each Character Area, and should the Zoning By-law Amendment application address all the other applicable policies in the Secondary Plan dealing with development standards, then Policy 5.4.3 would have no material affect on the development applications. The policy indicates that no Official Plan Amendment is required to achieve a greater or lesser height in each Character Area identified.
 
Skale Developments has purchased this assembly and added over to 547 Eglinton East plus 61 Hoyle and what seems to be a laneway at 69 Hoyle, and have submitted an application covering the larger site.

Presumably this would result in withdraw of the appeal to OLT, on the previous application?
 
The site is now similar in size as the residential sites east (directly) and west (across the road) of this assembly.

According to OLT information, the proposal is adjusted to have a 25-storey, 300 unit residential building up from 21 storey and 129 units. Vehicular parking is up from 37 to 94 (plus 5 visitor spots). FSI is down from 16.58 to 10.6.
 
New renderings are updated in the database. The overall storey count changed from 21 to 25 storeys. Total height changed from 72.60m to 86.05m. The total unit count increased from 128 units to 300 units. The total parking space count changed from 37 parking to 97 parking. Finally, total bike parking changed from 142 bike parking to 308 parking. 537 The project is now designed by Turner Fleischer Architects for Skale Development.

Renderings are taken from the architectural plan via Rezoning submission:
