Origin
Summary
This application proposes to amend the City of Toronto Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 44-storey (144 metres including mechanical penthouse) mixed use building at 461 Sheppard Avenue East. The proposed building would consist of 513 dwelling units and have a gross floor area of 29,151 square metres, including 372 square metres of ground floor retail gross floor area, for a Floor Space Index of 13.07.
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 Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The proposed building represents an appropriate level of intensification on the site given its proximity to Bayview Subway Station, location within the Council-adopted Bayview Major Transit Station Area and has been designed to provide an enhanced public realm at a prominent node.
