445 Adelaide West - a new proposal

Four years ago, the City appealed to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice Division Court and won, halting development of an earlier proposal, The general basis of that appeal (and subsequent decision) related to the designated heritage properties of the site.  Other faults articulated by the neighbourhood, such as height (as well as subsequent shadowing of the park and school), setbacks, and traffic management), were not addressed by either side.  
Now a new proposal has been submitted, similar to the previous development applications filed in 2017 and revised in 2019 ... with one striking increase in height from 14 to 17 storeys. 
The contested heritage issues addressed by the Ontario Superior Court appeal remain unresolved in this new proposal and the City is intending to challenge the development again on that basis.
