General Urban Cambridge Updates and Rumours

“The purpose of the study is to develop a building height strategy that will then be applied to an update of the existing zoning by-law and official plan, thereby bringing them into conformity with provincial policy, while also mitigating any potential impacts additional height may impose upon the downtown core’s character.“

This is going to be a very frustrating process, I assume. Funny how only maximum heights are discussed and not minimums (looking at you, surface parking lots).

This is on point...nobody ever discusses at a policy level the impacts of low rise or surface parking.

London ON AFAIK has some rules around this, but they are routinely ignored in favour of permitting developers to further crater the city.
