Origin
Summary
In June 2014, City Council directed City Planning staff to determine if either the existing Urban Design Guidelines for Queen Street East (between Coxwell Avenue and Neville Park Boulevard) or the Leslieville Urban Design Guidelines (between Jimmie Simpson Park and Leslie Street) should be extended to apply to the portion of Queen Street between Leslie Street and Coxwell Avenue. This area sits between the aforementioned study areas to the east and west.
This report summarizes the outcome of the Queen Street East/Ashbridge Precinct Planning Study; provides a draft City-initiated Official Plan Amendment for the study area; and recommends approval of the area-specific Queen Street East/Ashbridge Precinct Urban Design Guidelines to guide development within the study area.
