Item - 2023.TE9.10

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 600 King Street West substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 8 to the report (October 26, 2023) from the 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.

3. Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, City Council require the owner to:

a. submit a revised Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report, to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; and

b. enter into a Municipal Infrastructure Agreement to financially secure the construction of any improvements to the municipal infrastructure in connection with the accepted Functional Servicing Report by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, should it be determined that improvements to such infrastructure are required.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on November 15, 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 the construction of a 5-storey addition to an existing heritage designated building. The proposal is entirely non-residential, including a restaurant, private club, and hotel uses. The proposed building contains no vehicular parking and nine bicycle parking spaces.

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 proposal results in an appropriate built form that fits with the existing and planned context of the surrounding area, retains the heritage attributes of the site, and provides for additional economic growth.
