Refusal could mean many things. You don't need zoning to demolish, it's likely heritage related. It's a little premature to be demolishing anyway, this isn't anywhere close to approval.

Hmm? yeah i guess most likely, it's not out of the ordinary for the city to designate heritage status on buildings well into a development approval process

Or, you know, several buildings on this site have been designated long before development. The block on Gerrard was designated in 1990. The southern block in 1974.

363-365 Yonge was designated heritage in 1974 and 385-391/ 3 Gerrard was designated heritage in 1990

Wow, like innsertnamehere mentioned, 'this isn't anywhere close to approval'

 

[madknife]

means the city doesn't want this to go ahead yet, maybe the city is looking for more section 37 cash?
obviously the height doesn't seem to be the problem

so much for the rumored sales start this spring!

An OMB pre-hearing is scheduled for August 20, 2018.

July 4th is currently the last scheduled TEYC council meeting till after the election. (a 5 month plus gap)

I imagine there will be a raft of settlements ahead of that meeting, (whether or not that includes this proposal is tbd) .

Looking SW:

 

[Automation Gallery]

Amazing how much more development on the west side of the city

 

[cd concept]

Amazing how much more development on the west side of the city

I think reason for that is because of the already built Yonge and University subway lines. Allowing the highrise buildings to be built !

Also the Don Valley

 

[Automation Gallery]

I just think the east side has always been less desirable to developers?

 

[isaidso]

And Jarvis is about as far east as one can build tall. South of Queen one can but further north there are low rise residential neighbourhoods.... Cabbagetown being the nicest.

That's why there were gems and deals to be had 10 years ago or so. Still cheaper but the gap is closing.

 

[Edward Skira]

Parts of the east side were developed earlier like the St Lawrence neighbourhood. Harder to build. East side was also less desirable due to all the shelters/drugs etc. Still less desirable than the west but getting better.
