Item - 2023.EY3.2

The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 5251 Dundas Street West substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 6 to the report (February 6, 2023) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.

2. City Council authorizes the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

The Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on February 27, 2023, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 50-storey (153 metres) mixed-use development consisting of 544 dwelling units and 200 square metres of retail space on the ground floor at 5251 Dundas Street West. The total proposed gross floor area is 35,247 square metres. A Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space ("POPS") is proposed in the northeast corner of the site to enhance the pedestrian access to and from the Kipling Mobility Hub (also known as the Kipling Transit Hub) located south of the site.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposal conforms with the Official Plan and Etobicoke Centre Secondary Plan and is generally consistent with the City's guidelines. The proposed mixed-use building represents appropriate intensification within the Etobicoke Centre given the site is situated south of Dundas Street West and immediately abutting the Kipling Mobility Hub.
