We call upon city planners and decision-makers to enforce the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan Eglinton Way ‘Village’ (Policy 5.4.3.i, OPA 405) and limit new development along Eglinton Avenue West, between Oriole Parkway to Chaplin Crescent, to a height of 8-storeys.

• This tall, 19-storey (height: 63.3 meters) high-rise condo development, sticks out in a mostly two-storey streetscape and will set a precedent, opening the door to similar over-sized buildings in The Eglinton Way ‘Village’, thus permanently changing the character of this family-oriented neighbourhood.

 

• While responsible development is necessary for urban growth and housing needs, the proposed 19-storey building is an over-intensification in the 8-storey zoned area on the Eglinton Way ‘Village’ (Policy 5.4.3.i, OPA 405). This is not responsible development and risks over-intensifying and overwhelming the area.

 

• Any new condo development should be a mid-rise building, a maximum 8-storeys, that respects the unique historical character of The Eglinton Way ‘Village’.

 

Stop tall high-rise development in The Eglinton Way ‘Village’ (Oriole Parkway to Chaplin Crescent).  

Information on this development can be found here.

To voice your concerns on the proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment attend the Community Meeting, Wed Feb 28, 2024, 6:30pm - 8pm,
