Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on March 12, 2020 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and relevant Zoning by-laws to permit the construction of 44 new residential dwellings at 6175, 6183 Kingston Road and 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10 and 11 Franklin Avenue. The proposal would contain 8 detached, 20 semi-detached and 16 townhouse units. An associated application for draft plan of subdivision approval has been filed to facilitate the creation of new lots, blocks as well as a new public street.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019).

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-laws. This report also advises that the Chief Planner may approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision. The land use proposed is compatible with adjacent land uses and adequately addresses applicable infill development criteria. The redevelopment appropriately fits within the area context and will result in no adverse impacts.
