There was an error in the first edition of this story; we are indebted to a Gazette reader for catching the error
The only Council meeting scheduled for August will take place on Wednesday, the 13th. One interesting item on what is a short agenda is the decision to:
Refuse the applications for Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment submitted by MHBC Planning on behalf of Losani Investment Corporation proposing a 25-storey mixed use building with 240 residential units and 475 square metres of non-residential use at-grade at 127 Plains Road West.
Site of a proposed 240-unit – Council is expected to refuse the application
Rendering of the proposed development.
Row of high-rise towers on the south side of Plains Rd. west; almost directly across the street of the proposed development site.

Why? We are getting fed funds by Ottawa and the province to build. Plains is a good spot for this kind of building.
What are the reasons for refusing this proposed development?
Why not have a 25 storey mixed use building on Plaines Road? Certainly didn’t stop Council from allowing 27 storey buildings on Lakeshore and Old Lakeshore Road and in the process destroying the water front.
The developer will go to the OLT and appeal and chances are they will win and the city will have to spend taxpayer dollars to fight the appeal.

Why? and What are the reasons? To find out tune in to the council meeting on Wednesday.
Penny, to correct your comment. Council did not “allow”. Council denied all those applications and as you subsequently point out it was the OLT that overruled our Council and allowed the developers to build those enormous high-rises. If you want to point the finger point it at Doug Ford and the OLT.
