City Of Toronto Downtown Tall Buildings Project

City of Toronto Staff have issued a report on the Downtown Tall Buildings Project, which will be considered by the Toronto and East York Community Council on February 14, 2012 and by City Council as early as its March 5, 2012 meeting. The Staff Report provides a summary of public consultation that has taken place since the release of the original Tall Buildings: Inviting Change in Downtown Toronto report by Urban Strategies and Hariri Pontarini Architects, submitted to the City in April 2010 (called the Consultant's Study).

In addition to reporting on the public consultation that has taken place, City Staff are also recommending revisions to the proposed regulations set out in the Consultant's Study. City Staff have set out a set of 23 "Performance Standards" for tall buildings, expanding on and reworking the original 17 regulations in the Consultant's Study.
