Origin
Summary
This report proposes an amendment to Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 492 ("Green Roof By-law") to permit the consolidation of required green roof areas on transit buildings constructed as part of a transit project across multiple sites.
This amendment would provide greater efficiency in the design, construction and approval of green roofs implemented as a component of new transit projects. Further, it would maintain the performance standards currently in effect under the By-law.
The Green Roof By-law has been in effect for all new private and publicly owned development since January 31, 2010. This proposed amendment would allow for the intent of the by-law to be maintained on buildings used for the operation of a new transit system, as part of the expansion of Toronto’s transit network.
