Provisions

5.4.1 Impact of taller structures

• Borough by-laws must require that a construction project, on a site adjacent to one located in another borough on which housing is permitted, whose height exceeds the height allowed on the adjacent site by 50%, take the following elements into account :
  • The impact of its integration into the existing built environment and views;
  • Its impact on the natural light and sunlighting of residential properties in the neighbouring borough so as to not create an impact greater than that of a project one and a half times the height permitted on the site located in the other borough.
