The Etobicoke York Community Council commenced a statutory public meeting on June 22, 2021 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend both the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code and City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to permit a townhouse development at 417 and 419 Burnhamthorpe Road. The two existing detached residential dwellings would be demolished and replaced with 6 townhouse units of 3-storeys in height and below grade parking.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposal also represents an appropriate and orderly development of the site that conforms to the Official Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
