Item - 2023.TE5.4

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 31-37 Gladstone substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 5 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 draft 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 report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 6-storey (20.5 metre, inclusive of mechanical penthouse) residential building containing 28 dwelling units. The proposal will provide a contextually appropriate mid-rise building that fits within the existing and planned context and appropriately transitions to lower scaled neighbourhood areas to the north and east.

This report also recommends that the site be zoned with an (H) - Holding Symbol which can be lifted through the resolution of matters related to servicing the site.
