This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the application to amend the Zoning By-law located at 600 King Street West. The application proposes to redevelop the site with an addition overtop of and behind the existing 4-storey heritage building, increasing the height of the existing building to a total of 9-storeys. The proposed development would have a height of 36.5 metres to the top of the roof and 41.5 metres including the mechanical penthouse. In addition to retaining the existing listed heritage building, the existing restaurant, social club and associated uses currently located within the building would also be retained. The new portions of the development would contain office and hotel uses.

Staff are currently reviewing the application. It has been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Together with the Ward Councillor, staff have identified a community consultation meeting date of May 27, 2021.
