Origin
Summary
This report provides an update on the Danforth Avenue Planning Study (Coxwell Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue) and submits the completed Urban Design Guidelines ("Guidelines") that will be used as a tool to help evaluate development applications and other forms of change, including streetscape improvements, within the study area.
On July 23, 2018, City Council adopted Item #TE34.22, which included By-law 1136-2018 that implemented Official Plan Amendment #420 (OPA 420). OPA 420 represents the planned policy direction for the future growth of the study area. Included within OPA 420 is a policy direction on how to apply the associated Guidelines when evaluating development applications. OPA 420 is currently under appeal at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT).
As part of Council's decision, City Planning staff were directed to complete the Guidelines, post them online for public review, and submit them to a future Council meeting in 2019.
This report reviews the Guidelines, in brief, and recommends that Council adopt them for future use by City staff as a tool to evaluate development applications and other forms of change within the study area.
