This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the application located at 150 to 160 Cactus Avenue.

A Rental Housing Demolition application has been submitted to demolish the 60 existing rental dwellings.

The proposed development would contain a total of 483 residential units, including 60 rental replacement units. One level of underground parking is proposed, containing 319 parking spaces.
