Here's what to take from the article below:
First it was going to include 540 units in buildings
as high as 20 storeys
Eventually, the city agreed to 334 units in buildings
up to 12 storeys — which still required a rezoning, in an area where only four-storey buildings were allowed.
Angry Residents didn't want tall development in their backyards
Now Greatwise has written to the city proposing a 400-unit development in buildings with the same floor area the city previously approved, but with a
maximum height of five storeys — so they’ll be shorter but squatter, and each of them will be the same L shape.
MORE STUMPY BOXES!!
