City of Toronto: Multiplex Housing
Tuesday, February 21 (opens in new window), from 2 – 4 p.m. and Thursday, February 23 (opens in new window) from 6 – 8 p.m
The Multiplex study is one component of the City’s Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) initiative. This study focuses on permitting multiplexes – residential buildings containing up to four units – across Toronto’s low-rise neighbourhoods. Please see the Study Overview section below for more details.
Summary of Study
The Multiplex study is part of the Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods initiative which aims to bring more types of housing to Toronto’s low-rise neighbourhoods. This study proposes to permit multiplexes in all areas designated Neighbourhoods in Toronto’s Official Plan. The proposal supports a more equitable approach to growth in Toronto, extending a more flexible use of residential buildings to residents of all of Toronto’s Neighbourhoods.
What is Multiplex Housing
For the purposes of this study, we mean housing with 2, 3, or 4 units in a single building. This housing type is also referred to as a duplex, triplex, or fourplex. These homes could be rental or condominium units and they could either be in the form of converted houses or purpose-built as a multiplex.
Virtual Public Forum on Multiplexes – Consultation Sessions
Each session will contain a presentation by City-staff on the draft official plan /and zoning by-law amendments and time for questions and answers.
