Origin

(September 4, 2020) Report from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning

Summary

This report advances a draft Secondary Plan (draft Plan) and draft Zoning By-law (draft By-law), which is the outcome of Phases 1 and 2 of the City-initiated Christie’s Planning Study. The draft Plan establishes a planning framework for future development in the area and sets out the long-term vision for a complete community centred on transit investment, job creation and community services and facilities. The draft Plan and draft By-law have been developed with input from local residents and stakeholders through public consultation conducted jointly with the Park Lawn Lake Shore Transportation Master Plan project. The Study Area boundaries can be found at Attachment 1.

 

This report recommends that the draft Plan be used as the basis for further stakeholder and public consultation to support the development of a recommended Secondary Plan, Zoning By-law and Urban Design and Streetscape Guidelines, to be brought forward to City Council in the first quarter of 2021.

 

This report also provides a status update on the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application as well as a related Draft Plan of Subdivision application, submitted by First Capital Realty for the former Mr. Christie lands at 2150 and 2194 Lake Shore Boulevard West and 23 Park Lawn Road (subject lands). The Draft Plan of Subdivision application has been submitted in conjunction with the other application to establish development blocks and new public streets.

 

Detailed initial comments on the development applications were provided to the applicant in early September. Further revisions and refinement of the development proposal to align with the vision and objectives of the Secondary Plan and draft Zoning By-law are expected to be undertaken in the fall.
