Item - 2023.TE9.5

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 403 Keele Street and 48-50 Heintzman Street substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (October 30, 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.

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 application proposes to construct a new 11 storey mixed-use building at 403 Keele Street and 48-50 Heintzman Street with 280 rental dwellings units and 265 square metres of commercial space at grade. One level of underground parking with a total of 23 parking spaces is also proposed.

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).

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The mixed-use building is an appropriate scale for the site, provides an appropriate transition to the lower scaled Neighbourhoods along Heintzman Street and is of example of high quality design that will set a positive precedent for future development in the area.
