Decision Advice and Other Information

The North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on April 20, 2022 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

Origin

(March 22, 2022) Report from the Director, Community Planning, North York District

Summary

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and zoning by-law to permit an 8-storey (28.5 metres) mixed-use building that contains 58 residential units above the retail use at grade, for a total gross floor area of 4,550 square metres resulting in a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 3.12. The proposed 48 parking spaces will be provided in a 2-level, below-grade garage accessible by a two-way driveway from Leona Drive. 

 

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020).  The proposal represents appropriate intensification on an Avenue that makes efficient use of land, resources and infrastructure. 

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and zoning by-law as it conforms with the Mixed Use Areas policies of the Official Plan and the achievement of complete communities by providing a mix of uses in compact built form that is transit-supportive while appropriately transitioning to lower-scale neighbourhoods.
