Submission Requirements<br />

A section-by-section overview is provided below to outline how Applicants can demonstrate accordance with the Tall Building<br />

Design Guidelines and how each section within these Guidelines relates to the Complete Application submission requirements found<br />

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 />
