On November 4, 2021, an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to permit a 29-storey mixed use building containing 143 dwelling units. This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law as the site is not an appropriate location for a tall building.
