Decision Advice and Other Information

Origin
Summary
This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the development of a 6 storey (32 metres) institutional building located on the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC) at 875 Morningside Avenue. While originally identified as 875 Morningside Avenue, the subject lands underwent a Municipal Address Change and are now municipally known as '840 Military Trail'. The proposed building is known as the 'Scarborough Academy of Medicine and Integrated Health' (SAMIH) and will serve as a medical academy containing a total gross floor area of 9,543 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). The development of the proposed institutional building will create a landmark building as part of the development of the University’s North Campus as provided for by the Official Plan and the draft UTSC Secondary Plan. Most significantly, the development provides a needed training facility for physicians and health care professionals that can connect to local health care institutions in Scarborough and the eastern Greater Toronto Area.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
