New zoning bylaw amendments that were just adopted by Toronto City Council could mean major difficulties for any new builds slated for a sizeable portion of downtown mainly, that they will now be subject to new height limitations that aren t exactly in line with the majority of condos going up in the city right now.
The changes were quietly pushed through on Wednesday after a number of public consultation meetings.
They dictate that developers eyeing certain neighbourhoods will have to keep projects below, in most cases, 30 metres or 10 residential storeys, along with abiding by other new restrictions for density, setback distances and more.
