Origin
Summary
This application proposes to develop a 43-storey (132.6 metres) mixed use building at 5294-5204 & 5306 Yonge Street with 395 dwelling units. The building would have a gross floor area ("GFA") of 28,332.53 square metres, including 434.51 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, for a Floor Space Index ("FSI") of 11.11.
The application proposes to amend a previous approval for the site for a 33-storey mixed use building by increasing the height of the tower by 10 storeys (29.74 metres). Other elements of the proposal remain materially the same as the previously approved development, including the on-site parkland dedication of 397 square metres.
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-law.
