Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to recommend the approval of proposed amendments to the Gooderham & Worts Special Identity Area (the Distillery District), Triangle Lands and Portions of the West Don Lands policy areas in the King-Parliament Secondary Plan as Official Plan Amendment 304 (OPA 304).
Official Plan Amendment 304 is the result of a built form study for an area bounded by Parliament Street, properties on the north side of Mill Street, Cherry Street and the Union Station Railway Corridor. The study and the resulting Official Plan Amendment provides planning direction on: an appropriate massing and building typology within the study area; protecting the utility of open spaces within and surrounding the study area from new shadows; maintaining the cultural heritage values of the area's heritage buildings; and promoting various transportation modes to reduce vehicular traffic impacts.
On June 14, 2016, a status report on the draft OPA 304 was considered by Toronto and East York Community Council, with direction to schedule a community consultation meeting to obtain feedback from members of the public. A community consultation meeting took place on November 7, 2016. This report provides a revised Official Plan Amendment 304 based on feedback from the community consultation and further staff consideration.
