This is a project based out of Niagara!

Proponent Jagjit Sandhu and architect Jason Pizzicarola will present the proposal to build a five-storey building that will feature 34 dwelling units along with 198 square metres of commercial space on the main floor. The pair are looking for council to approve a rezoning request to accommodate the project, that will be located at 80-84 and 94 Jarvis. The proponents wish to add a special policy area designation to the lands located on the north side of Jarvis that would allow for the increased height. Under the current zoning, building height is restricted to a maximum of three storeys.

This REALLY needs a City in Thread title - Fort Erie. As this is "UrbanToronto" one assumes items are Toronto...

The city tag will be available once there is an attached database to the project thread. Hope this clarifies things!

Comments:

It's hard to ever call a 5s building too much, yet I think it may be here, given that it reads as a 5s streetwall. The key is relativity to its neighbours none of which exceed 2s, so you're at a 150% height premium.

I think what might work here is actually going to 6s, but do a set back after the 3rd or 4th floor.

***

The Mansard-style roof is completely out of place and looks silly here. The building isn't even properly styled to go with it. Lose it. Just a put a simple cornice a the top.

I'd prefer to see the brick extend all the way down.

Good to see development coming forward in this area, it needs it, and the City/Region should be receptive. But needs some re-thinking.
