Toronto's planning committee approved allowing fiveplexes and sixplexes in detached low-rise neighbourhoods city-wide, aiming to add "gentle density" and diverse housing types. The move excludes semi-detached and townhouses and proposes raising building height limits to 10.5 meters for better basement units. Supporters cite housing equity and livability, while some residents oppose due to concerns over parking, privacy, and neighborhood impact. Council will review the proposal soon.
