Origin
Summary
This report brings forward an updated King-Spadina Secondary Plan (the "Secondary Plan"). The Secondary Plan is a policy framework that will provide clear and consistent guidance for development in the area over the next 20 years, ensuring that the area continues to be a place to live and work, and where new buildings add to the character and context that defines each part of the Secondary Plan area. The Secondary Plan builds on the direction set forward in the Downtown Plan by bringing forward more specific policy guidance on land use, built form, public realm and specific Areas of Special Identity.
The Secondary Plan follows up on the success of the 1996 King-Spadina Secondary Plan. As an area targeted for growth and new investment, the Secondary Plan recommends that development provide a full mix of uses that are designed to be compatible with their existing and planned context, conserve cultural heritage resources, and improve and expand the public realm. The Secondary Plan is to be read in concert with the Downtown Plan, and will prevail over the Downtown Plan to the extent of any conflict.
The Secondary Plan is the outcome of detailed analysis, public and stakeholder consultation, and staff input from various City Divisions. The Secondary Plan has regard for matters of provincial interest under Section 2 of the Planning Act, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The Secondary Plan also conforms to and maintains the intent and purpose of the City’s Official Plan.
