City staff are proposing two-storey buildings of a maximum 8.5 metres on side streets, but they could rise to 10 metres if the roof is pitched. "Infill has been in Westboro for 15 to 20 years, and it is relentless," said Leiper at planning committee Thursday. Concerns over neighbourhood characterBut some residents who spoke during the virtual committee meeting said the proposed changes fail to reflect their input, and asked that the proposed changes be set aside. "The changes proposed will destroy the character of our neighbourhood," said Gary Ludington, who sits on the board of the Westboro Community Association. The zoning changes go to city council for final approval on Feb. 24.
