Agenda: http://www.toronto.ca/planning/south_agenda.pdf

Item 8: A0125/07TEY

The Variances requested are as follow:

1) decrease the minimum required NON-RESIDENTIAL GFA from 27,000 sq.m to 25,500 sq.m

2) increase maximum permitted number of dwelling units & guest rooms from 336 to 379

3) decrease the parking space size from a minimum 2.6m x 4.7m to 2.6m x 4.6m

There are NO variances sought for a decrease in height.. although a variance would prolly not be needed, a Revised Site Plan would probably be though. I'll check into the SPA.

i am so confused...

Go TO!!! I might be moving to Toronto. I'm stoked, I'm out of this f*cking conservative dump of a country. I'm cummin north baby. I love how Toronto embraces urbanity and density, not like San Diego. Here we complain about a little 12 floor building 1.5 miles from downtown. They say "oh it's going to ruin the small town charm of the neighborhood, and cause a wind tunnel" christ I'm outta here.

Maldive · #**904** Posted **Apr 26, 2007, 10:46 PM**

Hey Mello... I'm heading home to T.O. tomorrow after "many" months in San Diego.

Let's get a consortium together, raise $100 billion and buy all of downtown San Diego. Every Toronto developer will hop on our train 'cause San Diego is an urban "lost" opportunity. And T.O. developers are already sniffin' around SD.

It'll take a while to build a dream city... but watch out San Francisco. The weather's better in SD. ;-)

P.S. I've budgeted moving the airport, so we can build 1000 footers.

^^^ Fark yeah lets do it! Its on G. I love TO we love it! Get it like the "I love LA song" seriously somebody should do a song called "I love TO"

HA HA Now I can smoke weed in front of cops!

Talon submitted an application to the Committee of Adjustments (a committee at the city that deals with minor variances and land partitions "severances". This Committee is composed of city councillors and are advised by the planning and other city departments on what decision to make on applications made by homeowners and developers when they want to revise the zoning restrictions or sever their properties). Talon's application to the C of A only asked to drop the required amount of office space and raise the maximum amount of units that were spelled out in the original zoning by-law for the property. Additionally, they're asking to vary the required size of parking spaces in order to save space / increase the amount of parking.

Breaking News:

Walked into the packed sales centre today and in a conversation to set up an appointment one of the sales staff informed us that "the three most expensive penthouses are already sold".. when I asked her to confirm that indeed somebody had paid $16 million for the most pricey unit she replied, "yes, and I can tell you that the buyers ARE LOCAL and not overseas customers"

wow, looks like a construction announcement could be happening very very soon (a la Ritz Carlton)... amazing news!!

Vikky at SSC took these photos... of the FS Sales Centre.

Very nice. Very upscale.

Apparently the penthouses have already sold out.
