The site should be rezoned for density but arguing about balance is a bit of a troubling argument. This isn't a neighborhood with a slew of 3 story walk ups that are common in Lakeview, Albert Park, Al Ritchie etc etc. This is 100% single family and plopping a 5 story building in the middle of it does not strike me as a balance OR reasonable on the neighborhood regardless of the "housing crisis" that we supposedly have in a city with vacancy everywhere you turn.

In what world is a 5-storey building "the densiest" possible building.....?
The City has goals and targets for intensification, as outlined in the OCP. This is what policy looks like on the ground.
