Origin

(August 16, 2017) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District

Summary

This application proposes an amendment to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the redevelopment of the site with a nine storey residential building containing 99 dwelling units at 3655 Kingston Rd.

 

City Planning recommends approval of the proposed development based on its conformance with development criteria in the Official Plan for development in Apartment Neighbourhoods, its location on an Avenue, its physical separation by way of public roads from surrounding Neighbourhood designated uses, and its planning and design attributes. 

 

The proposed building form meets the criteria for sensitive infill development in Apartment Neighbourhoods, while also meeting the directions of the Mid-Rise Building Guidelines for developments along Avenues.  An adequate transition in scale is provided as the building steps down from Kingston Road towards the low density Neighbourhood to the south.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
