PROPOSAL
Through the Sixplex Study, the City of Toronto evaluated the potential
of expanding existing multiplex permissions to allow multiplexes with up to six
dwelling units and with heights of up to four storeys on properties in low-rise
neighbourhoods city-wide.
The City of Toronto proposes
to amend the Official Plan and City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit fiveplexes and sixplexes in
detached residential buildings in low-rise neighbourhoods city-wide.
The City-initiated Official
Plan Amendment (OPA) would expand existing multiplex policy to permit the
development of fiveplexes and sixplexes
in detached homes on properties designated Neighbourhoods city-wide. The
OPA would streamline multiple existing multiplex policies into a single set of
policies guiding multiplex development city-wide.
City-wide Zoning By-law
569-2013 would be amended to:
These amendments will be considered at the
same meeting as amendments proposed by the Multiplex Monitoring Program to
improve implementation and facilitate multiplex construction.
