Item - 2022.EY30.3

The Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Directed staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the application located at 1865 to 1885 Weston Road together with the Ward Councillor.

2. Directed that 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 application to amend the Official Plan and city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit two mixed-use buildings, 28 and 38 storeys in height (approximately 105 metres and 135 metres in height including the mechanical penthouses), at the lands municipally known as 1865, 1871, 1879 and 1885 Weston Road. The proposed buildings would contain 538 residential units, four levels of below-grade parking and be connected by a shared three-storey podium building. The existing former bank building at 1885 Weston Road would be retained and integrated in the podium building. The existing church building at 1871 Weston Road is proposed to be relocated to the southeast corner of the site and its later additions are proposed to be replaced with new two-storey additions and repurposed to contain retail uses. The development would have a total gross floor area of 46,154 square metres, of which 41,674 square metres would be for residential use, 1,250 square metres for retail space and 3,230 square metres for community space.

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.
