This application proposes to amend the zoning by-laws at 6040 Bathurst Street and 5 Fisherville Road to permit the construction of two residential buildings; the existing rental buildings on the site would remain. A nineteen storey rental apartment building is proposed for the south-west corner of the site and a twenty-nine storey condominium building is proposed for the north-east corner of the site. The two buildings would have a total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 46,000 square metres and add an additional 430 dwelling units on the site. The proposed buildings would have a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 1.96 and overall the site would have a FSI of 3.39.

This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted application and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the applications and on the community consultation process.

This report recommends that a community consultation meeting be held to present the proposal to the public and obtain public input.

A Final Report and a Public Meeting under the Planning Act will be scheduled following community consultation and resolution of the outstanding issues identified in this report.
