Residents Outrage Hits New Heights

Resident Representatives met with Councillor Morley March 5th, 2026

Sign Petition against the proposal here

A significant development application has been submitted for 69 Old Mill Terrace, proposing to replace the existing low-rise rental buildings with a 39-storey residential tower. The City of Toronto scheduled a virtual Community Consultation Meeting, and residents were strongly encouraged to participate. The meeting was held Wednesday, February 11, 2026, 7:00 – 9:00 PM and the format was Virtual via Microsoft Teams, which allows residents to participate if they don’t have Microsoft Teams installed.

About the Proposal

The developer has applied for a Zoning By-law Amendment (Application #25 256564 WET 03 OZ) to permit a 39-storey condominium tower at 69 Old Mill Terrace, located approximately 450 metres from Old Mill Station. The proposed Floor Space Index (FSI) is approximately 13.6

Context: This represents roughly twice the minimum density required under the City's new Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA) zoning and nearly double the permitted height under current PMTSA rules

The site currently contains low-rise rental apartment buildings that would be demolished to make way for the proposed tower.

Decisions & Next Steps

  • No final decisions made; the application is still under review and City staff are in ongoing communication with the developer.

  • Representatives from Old Mill Terrace Residents Association and KPRI met with Councillor Morley during March 5th to present the following points:

    • This proposal destroys the transition role the site is supposed to play

    • It does almost nothing to solve the real housing crisis — the shortage of family-sized and affordable homes.

    • The infrastructure and amenity impacts on our streets and community are unacceptable.

    • We are committed to families and responsible development — but approvals are happening without downstream infrastructure planning.

  • Councillor Morley listened and engaged seriously with our community concerns about the 39‑storey proposal. There was mutual disappointment shared between Morley and the group about the broader provincial intensification policies that are driving projects like this.

  • City staff will review all technical studies, evaluate community feedback, and provide recommendations to Community Council.

  • Deputy Mayor’s office and planning staff to investigate traffic signal issues and follow up on infrastructure concerns.

Action Plan

  • Developer to work with city on detailed tenant relocation plan and possible design revisions.

  • Community encouraged to continue submitting questions and comments to planning staff and Deputy Mayor’s office.
