Item - 2021.TE23.49

The Toronto and East York Community Council directed:

1. City Planning staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the development application for 49 Jackes Avenue 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 development application for 49 Jackes Avenue. The application proposes a 29-storey residential building with 217 dwelling units, including four two-storey townhouses facing David A. Balfour Park. The proposal is not acceptable, the tower is too tall, and does not provide appropriate tower setbacks, separation distances, and transition to adjacent Neighbourhoods to the south and the Park to the east.

The application has been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. City Planning staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application with the Ward Councillor.
