The North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on February 22, 2024, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to develop a 6 storey hotel containing 32 rooms with 6 surface parking spaces at 290 Sheppard Avenue West.

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 proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan and the Sheppard Lansing Secondary Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposal conforms with the Sheppard Lansing Secondary Plan and proposes to introduce a non-residential hotel use to complement the nearby North York Centre area. The proposal provides setbacks to the surrounding Neighbourhoods areas in accordance with the Sheppard Lansing Secondary Plan to appropriately transition from Sheppard Avenue West to the Neighbourhoods.
