The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 229-2023 (OLT) for the lands at 35, 41 and 95 High Park Avenue and 66 and 102 Pacific Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 2 to the report (April 28, 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 Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on May 24, 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 the site-specific Zoning By-law No. 229-2023 (OLT) for 35, 41, and 95 High Park Avenue and 66 and 102-116 Pacific Avenue. The application includes the demolition of 20 townhouses and the construction of three buildings being 35, 11, and 30-storeys in height with 366, 103, and 294 respective dwelling units. Four existing buildings containing 201, 320, 217 and 230 dwelling units will remain on site with existing and new buildings sharing two levels of underground parking.

Site-specific Zoning By-law No. 229-2023 (OLT) includes a holding symbol which requires that certain conditions be fulfilled prior to development proceeding on site. Staff have reviewed the materials submitted in support of the application and are satisfied that the conditions have been fulfilled. 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 No. 229-2023 (OLT) to remove the holding symbol.
