Item - 2023.TE4.14

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 1017-2022 for the land at 241 Church Street, substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 2 to the report (March 22, 2023) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

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

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on April 12, 2023 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to remove the holding symbol ("H") for the lands identified in site-specific Zoning By-law No. 1017-2022 which permits a 53-storey mixed use building, including ground floor commercial uses and residential dwelling units, with a total gross floor area of 36,550 metres squared at 241 Church Street.

Site specific Zoning By-law 1017-2022 includes a holding symbol which requires conditions are fulfilled prior to the development proceeding. City staff have reviewed the materials submitted in support of the application to remove the holding symbol and are satisfied that the conditions have been fulfilled, and the removal of the holding symbol is appropriate at this time.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend Zoning By-law 1017-2022 to remove the holding symbol.
