North York Community Council directed that:

1. Staff schedule an online community consultation meeting regarding the application located at 2676, 2674, 2678, and 2704 Yonge Street, together with the Ward Councillor.

2. Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the application site, and to additional residents, institutions and owners to be determined in consultation with the Ward Councillor, with any additional mailing costs to be borne by the applicant.

This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the Zoning By-law Amendment and Rental Housing Demolition applications for 2674, 2676, 2678 and 2704 Yonge Street.

The site currently consists of a northern and southern portion, which are distinct. The southern portion, located at 2674, 2676 and 2678 Yonge Street, contains a 3-storey rental apartment building comprised of 31 rental dwelling units on the second and third floors, and retail uses on the ground floor. The northern portion of the site, located at 2704 Yonge Street, was previously occupied by a funeral home, which was recently demolished.

The applicants propose to demolish the existing 3-storey rental apartment building and redevelop the lands with a new 9-storey mixed-use building comprised of 127 dwelling units, of which 31 units would be replacement rental units. The tenure of the remaining 96 dwelling units in the proposed building has not been identified by the applicant. Retail uses are proposed to be located on the ground floor.

Staff are currently reviewing the applications. The applications have been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application with the Ward Councillor.
