The Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on September 18, 2023, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit a mixed-use development with four towers and a public park at 56, 58 and 60 Fieldway Road. The proposed building heights are 12, 25, 34 and 42 storeys. The proposed development includes 1297 dwelling units, 1526 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, and a 2426 square metre public park, resulting in a net floor space index of 6.2 times the net lot area.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013. The proposal conforms with the intent of the Official Plan and Etobicoke Centre Secondary Plan and is generally consistent with the City’s guidelines. The proposed mixed-use development represents supportable land use intensification while mitigating shadow impact on the surrounding public realm.
