Multiplexes will now be permitted to be built across Toronto after being approved by councillors on Wednesday in a bid to create more housing options.

a staff report recommending expanding multiplexes in all of Toronto’s neighbourhoods.

“By introducing multiplexes, we also create the flexibility of our residential buildings and ensure that we have a mix of housing types to meet the needs of our current and future residents.”while mid- and high-rise apartment buildings have seen growth in densely populated areas, low-rise housing has not kept up with demand.

Multiplexes can also be delivered quickly, staff said, as owners will only be required to obtain a building permit rather than official plan or zoning-by-law approvals.
