City Council has voted overwhelmingly to disregard its own planning by approving a 24-storey condo tower at 90 Eglinton West, a neighborhood that is approved for midrise buildings with a maximum height of seven or eight storeys. Josh Matlow (Ward 22) and Christin Carmichael-Greb (Ward 16) were among councillors to vote against the motion, which was approved 35 to 6. City staff recommended allowing the high-rise and to only replace only 50 per cent of the six-storey office space at the Pilot Building near Henning Street. Star
