Item - 2020.TE18.37

The Toronto and East York Community Council directed:

1.  Staff to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application located at 1200 Bay 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 application located at 1200 Bay Street. The proposal is to demolish an existing 12-storey office building and to construct a new 87-storey (324 metres, including mechanical) mixed-use building. The proposal is not acceptable, the tower is too tall, and the site is too small to accommodate a tall building with appropriate tower setbacks and separation distances. Staff will work with th eapplicant to determine what form of developmet may be appropriate and achievable on this site. It is not clear whether a tall building is achievable without working with the adjacent land owner to the west to achieve appropriate tower separation.

Staff are currently reviewing the application. It has 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.
