The recently received application for a massive double tower project is unacceptable. The scale and density are greatly excessive. Lawton is a narrow residential street that cannot accommodate this scale of traffic and influx of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed towers are 43 and 47 floors, and instead of residential units along Lawton, there is a long, tall, coloured glass fa\u00e7ade. While City policy is to increase permitted density in a PTMSA (Public Transit Major Station Area) like Yonge and St. Clair, this site is not in an Official Plan \u201cHigh Density Mixed Use Area\u201d like the intersection of Yonge and St Clair. It is in an \u201cApartment Neighbourhood\u201d and 38 floors taller<\/strong> than the next closest apartment building on the same side of the street. The highest tower in the Brentwood Towers apartment area to the north is only 17 storeys. And the site is directly across from a \u201cLow Density Residential Area\u201d single family homes and 3 storey apartment building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"\"\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
