This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the application located at 838, 840, 842, and 844 Broadview Avenue. The application proposes the demolition of the existing low rise detached commercial building and the low rise semi-detached residential structures, to facilitate the construction of an 8 storey mixed use building facing both Broadview and Pretoria Avenues. The proposed structure would include 16 affordable rental housing units that would be owned by the City of Toronto and operated by a community non-profit housing group under a long-term lease.  An underground Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) lot containing 33 vehicle parking spaces is also proposed.

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.
