The Toronto and East York Community Council directed:

1.  City Planning staff schedule a community consultation meeting on the application for 221, 225, 227 Sterling Road together with the Ward Councillor.

2. Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 240 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 Zoning By-law Amendment, Draft Plan of Subdivision, and Rental Housing Demolition applications for 221, 225, and 227 Sterling Road. The applications propose to redevelop the lands with three residential buildings with heights of 20, 25, and 29-storeys. The proposed development would have a total gross floor area (GFA) of 56,482 square metres, which equates to a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 5.17 times the area of the site. The applications propose 892 residential units, including 33 rental replacement units, and the conveyance of land for a new public street and public park. The new public street would extend Ruttan Street south to Sterling Road.

Staff are currently reviewing the applications which have 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.
