Guideline Summary Statement<br />
As part of the required Planning Rationale (or cover letter) in a complete application, provide a brief summary outlining how the<br />
proposed <strong>tall</strong> building development responds to these Guidelines, including how the <strong>tall</strong> building(s) will fit harmoniously within<br />
the existing/planned context and address key performance measures, such as base building height, tower setbacks, stepbacks and<br />
separation distances, tower floor plate size, on-site landscaped open space, sidewalk width, etc. The summary should also address<br />
relationships to other relevant policies, plans, standards and guidelines, such as site-specific Zoning, Secondary Plans, Mid-rise<br />
Guidelines, Public Realm Plans, etc.<br />
Where a <strong>tall</strong> building development differs from these Guidelines, provide a supporting planning/design justification to explain how<br />
the proposed design approach for the site/building/public realm will meet the overall intent of these Guidelines and the related<br />
policies and goals of the Official Plan.<br />
