Item - 2022.NY31.16

North York Community Council:

1. Directed City Planning to continue to work with the applicant to revise the proposal to such a time that the development can be supported by City Staff.

This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications for a 11-storey residential building, containing 133 dwelling units, which will result in a total gross floor area (GFA) of 8,783 square metres and a density of 5.01 times the area of the lot.

The application has been circulated to all appropriate City divisions and public agencies for comment. Substantial revisions are required to the proposed development to address a number of matters raised in this report, including but not limited to suitability of the site size to accommodate the proposed building, and setbacks and separation distances consistent with the Tall Building Guidelines. Further, the proposed tower development will occur in the Neighbourhood designation which does not align with the City of Toronto Official Plan. Appropriate rationale is required to address the suitability of the proposed development in the Neighbourhoods designation.  

A community consultation meeting was held for this application on March 3, 2022.
