The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code for the lands at 5359 Dundas Street West substantially-in-accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5a to the report (October 9, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.

2. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 5359 Dundas Street West substantially-in-accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5b to the report (October 9, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.

3. 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 Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on October 28, 2024, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit a 50-storey mixed-use building at 5359 Dundas Street West. The Etobicoke Zoning Code is also proposed to be amended to permit the use of the retained parking garage. The proposed development has gross floor area of 37,975 square metres, of which 743 square metres would be used for commercial space, and a total of 600 dwelling units.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and the Provincial Planning Statement (2024), and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan, including the Etobicoke Centre Secondary Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposal contributes to the policy vision of creating a transit-oriented complete community by incorporating appropriate built form, density, and non-residential uses at a convenient location abutting the Kipling Transit Hub.
