Summary
This application proposes to develop a 10-storey (33.85 metres) residential building at 16-28 Centre Avenue. The building would contain 442 residential units and a gross floor area of 33,296 square metres for a Floor Space Index (“FSI”) of 3.98.
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).
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-laws. The proposed building represents an appropriate level of intensification on the site and begins to implement the vision of the Council-adopted Yonge Street North Secondary Plan (OPA 615).
