The application includes the demolition of 20 townhouses and the construction of three buildings being 35, 11, and 30-storeys in height with 366, 103, and 294 respective dwelling units. Four existing buildings containing 201, 320, 217 and 230 dwelling units will remain on site with existing and new buildings sharing two levels of underground parking.

A Holding symbol ("H") was placed on the lands to limit the use of the lands until such time as the conditions for the removal of the "H" symbol had been fulfilled to the satisfaction of City Council. Section 7 of By-law No. 229-2023 (OLT) includes the following conditions for the removal of the Holding symbol ("H"):

(i) Submit to the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services for review and acceptance, a revised? Functional Servicing Report to determine the storm water runoff, sanitary flow and water supply demand resulting from this development and whether there is adequate capacity in the existing municipal infrastructure to accommodate the proposed development.
