Item - 2020.TE12.6

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 438-86, for the lands at 112 College Street substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 6 to the report (December 9, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

2. City Council authorizes the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

3. Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, City Council require the Owner to:

a. Provide a revised Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report to demonstrate whether the existing municipal infrastructure is adequate to service the proposed development and to determine whether any upgrades may be required to the existing infrastructure to support the proposed development, to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; and

b. Pay for and construct any improvements to the municipal infrastructure identified in the revised Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report, satisfactory to the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, should it be determined that improvements to such infrastructure are required to support this development.

This application proposes a 13-storey institutional building with an overall height of approximately 65 metres and a gross floor area of approximately 17,900 square metres at 112 College Street.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) and conforms with the Official Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The application proposes a compact built form on a site that is appropriate for further intensification, within a built-up area, that would take advantage of existing infrastructure, provide new institutional uses, and contribute to the vitality of the campus and surrounding neighbourhoods.
