Origin

(October 18, 2019) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District

Summary

This application proposes to redevelop the site with a mixed-use building containing retail and office uses within the portion fronting 540-544 King Street West and residential uses within the portion fronting 1-7 Morrison Street. Due to the difference in floor-to-ceiling height requirements between office and residential uses, the office portion of the proposed building would be 15-storeys tall and the residential portion would be 17-storeys tall. The overall building height for both portions, including mechanical elements, is proposed at 50 metres.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019).

The proposal is consistent with the relevant policies of the Official Plan, the King Spadina Secondary Plan, the Downtown Plan and the King-Spadina Urban Design Guidelines. The proposal provides approximately 18,745 square metres of new office space, maintains a minimum of 10 percent three-bedroom units and 20 percent two-bedroom units, and provides a built form that is compatible with the emerging context of the West Precinct of King-Spadina
