As the city filed it

This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the application located at 1200 Bay Street. The proposal is to demolish an existing 12-storey office building and to construct a new 87-storey (324 metres, including mechanical) mixed-use building. The proposal is not acceptable, the tower is too tall, and the site is too small to accommodate a tall building with appropriate tower setbacks and separation distances.
