Virtual Meeting: Growing Space for Trees, Infill Housing Development and Iceberg Homes

The City of Toronto’s City Planning Division has been consulting on proposals to better protect and enhance Toronto’s tree canopy while supporting infill housing development in neighbourhoods and also addressing concerns about the impacts of “iceberg homes”.

What is being proposed?

We are proposing amendments to Toronto’s Official Plan Chapter 4 policies in Section 4.1, Neighbourhoods, and Section 4.2, Apartment Neighbourhoods. We are also proposing changes to City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 that address the definition of soft landscaping and landscaping and updating below ground requirements for low-rise residential buildings.

Learn more and provide input:

Following a series of in-person and virtual meetings in Spring – early Summer 2025, upon request we are holding an additional virtual meeting to review the proposed changes and to provide another opportunity for stakeholder input:

Thursday September 11, 7pm – 8pm.
