Origin
Summary
This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and Draft Plan of Subdivision application for the properties located at 2, 4 and 80 Union Street. The applications propose the conversion of lands designated Core Employment Areas to Mixed Use Areas to permit a development with three mixed-use buildings, ranging in height between 39- and 49-storeys, containing commercial, office, retail, and residential uses.
Staff are currently reviewing the applications. They have been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Review of the applications will also be informed by the Keele-St. Clair Local Area Study (the "KSC LAS") and the property acquisition process for the future St. Clair-Old Weston SmartTrack station. The KSC LAS contemplates land use changes that are, in part, supported by the future SmartTrack station. Without the station and the related multi-modal transportation investments, the contemplated changes to the permitted land uses would not be considered appropriate within this area.
Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application with the Ward Councillor.
