Tribute (Liverpool) Limited has applied for rezoning permission for its planned three-tower project located at the northwest corner of Liverpool Road and Highway 401.
The applicant has submitted a revised proposal for a high-density, mixed-use development consisting of three towers containing approximately 1,779 residential units and 1,155 square metres of commercial and retail space at grade.
The purpose of the zoning by-law amendment is to include the portion of lands for the future Walnut Lane road extension and the proposed park block immediately north of the road extension to be included in the calculation of lot area, said a city notice.
In addition, the applicant is also requesting the following site-specific amendments:
- Increase the maximum building height from 122 metres (approx. 40 storeys) to 142 metres (approx. 46 storeys) for Tower A, 163 metres (approx. 53 storeys) for Tower B, and 151 metres (approx. 49 storeys) for Tower C;
- Remove the main wall step-back requirement, whereas the by-law requires a minimum main wall step-back of 3.0 metres between the top 6.0 and 18.0 metres of a point tower for buildings equal to and greater than 73.5 metres (approx. 24 storeys);
- Add a provision to permit stacked bicycle parking, whereas the bylaw only includes minimum parking space dimensions for horizontal and vertical bicycle parking spaces; and
- Permit structures (such as mechanical equipment, architectural features, landscape features and wind/noise attenuation structures) on the podiums to project beyond the maximum podium height, whereas the by-law permits a maximum podium height of 20 metres.
