    Thank you for your question.    

    A Rezoning Application process and a subsequent Development Permit Application process can take approximately 2 years for approval of a 6-storey building. This rezoning application was submitted in May 2026. Redevelopment of the site would depend on the project timeline of the applicant. The owner may decide to not redevelop the site right away once approved. It’s recommended to reach out to the applicant and/or owner(s) of the property in regards to their anticipated timeframe of the project. 

    Thanks

    Is there a reason for the limited green space on the roof?

    XQ asked about 1 month ago

    Thank you for submitting a question regarding this rezoning application.   

    The applicant is proposing greenspace consisting of planters and trees on each of the rooftops of the 6-storey buildings. This greenspace would be part of the amenity space that is accessible to residents. The amenity spaces on the rooftops would also include artificial turf since it’s easier to manage and maintain. The amount of greenspace the applicant is proposing is adequate to support the residents within each building. An increase to the greenspace would be a decision to be made by the applicant, and whether its feasible within their project’s proforma. 

    Notably, the proposal includes greenspace surrounding both buildings at-grade and will include either retained or newly planted trees. The proponent’s Landscape Plan will be reviewed by the City’s Landscape Review Staff. Their staff team may apply rezoning conditions to help improve a proposal’s Landscape Plan when its considered warranted or if the proposal doesn’t align with the Protection of Trees By-law.
