Residents in Inglewood are strongly opposing a new luxury condo tower they say violates current rules for building heights.
Avli on Atlantic will be built at 9th Avenue and 10th Street Southeast, measuring at 22.5 metres tall.
The maximum allowed is 20 metres.
The Inglewood Community Association’s president Bill Bakelaar tells City News they aren’t opposed to this project, but there has to be a different way to do it.
“We have a lot of respect for this architect. We think he will bring us something beautiful, something that will enhance our community,” he said. “What we are opposing is the relaxation of our existing by-law. We don’t think the architect needs this relaxation to build a beautiful building.”
The Community Association is urging City Hall not to pass a re-zoning application when it comes before council on November 3rd.
