The Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Directed staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the applications located at 470 Sentinel Road and 1, 35 and 40 Fountainhead 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 applications to amend the Official Plan, city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 and former North York Zoning By-law 7625, for a proposed infill development at 470 Sentinel Road and 1, 35 and 40 Fountainhead Road.

The proposal includes four new buildings consisting of three residential buildings of 36 storeys, 30 storeys, and 14 storeys (112.85 metres, 95.45 metres, and 47.65 metres respectively, including the mechanical penthouse) and one 40-storey mixed-use building (125.5 metres including the mechanical penthouse). The proposal would result in a gross floor area of 256,064 square metres consisting of 127,452 square metres of residential area (1,720 dwelling units), and 1,050 square metres of retail area located at grade fronting on Sentinel Road. The proposal also includes the provision for public parkland of 0.56 hectares and a two-storey community centre. The four existing 22-storey apartment buildings containing a total of 1,479 dwelling units are proposed to be retained.

In addition to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment application, a Draft Plan of Subdivision has been submitted to create eight development blocks and a public street connecting Finch Avenue West to Fountainhead Road.

Staff are currently reviewing the applications. It has been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment and was deemed complete on February 17, 2022. City Planning staff will next proceed to schedule a Community Consultation Meeting for the applications, in consultation with the Ward Councillor.
