Origin
Summary
I am writing to you today in regards to a new business item pertaining to the development at 2100 Yonge Street and the developer's wish (Rockport Group) to seek minor variances at the Committee of Adjustment.
After launching the project in June 2021, the developer has had the opportunity to better understand the local market's needs. The developer advises that there is a demand for large 2-bedroom units with larger living spaces and less demand for 3-bedrooms. Therefore, a requirement of the total number of new 3-bedroom to be reduced from 15% to 10% is needed to best serve local housing needs.
The developer has consulted both Oriole Park Association (OPA) and the South Eglinton Davisville Resident's Association (SEDRA) regarding the changes with no objections being raised from either group. I am therefore requesting the following recommendations be presented to Toronto-East York Community Council.
