Item - 2022.EY31.3

The Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Directed staff schedule a Community Consultation Meeting for the application located at 2939-2943 Bloor Street West 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 application is related to a previous application at 2915-2917 Bloor Street West (16 141156 WET 05 OZ) that was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board ("OMB"), now called the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT"), on January 16, 2017. At their meeting of July 14 to 16, 2021, City Council accepted a settlement offer proposing a seven-storey building with 163 units and retail at grade (the "2021 Settlement Offer"). The 2021 Settlement Offer has not yet been presented to the Ontario Land Tribunal for final approval.

The purpose of this application is to expand the building proposed in the 2021 Settlement Offer accepted by City Council to include the two parcels to the west known as 2939 and 2941-2943 Bloor Street West, extending the seven-storey built form. This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the new Zoning By-law Amendment application for a seven-storey building, extending from 2915 to 2943 Bloor Street West, containing an additional 62 dwelling units and 408 square metres of retail space on the ground floor. The total gross floor area of the proposed building is 15,628 square metres. The existing buildings would be demolished.

Staff are currently reviewing the application. The application has been circulated to all appropriate City divisions and public agencies for comment. City Planning staff will proceed to schedule a Community Consultation Meeting for the application, in consultation with the Ward Councillor.
