North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 501 and 503 Eglinton Avenue East and 383, 385, 387 and 389 Cleveland Street substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the revised report (May 6, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning, North 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 North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on May 8, 2024, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-Law to permit a 14-storey (53.18 metres to the top of the mechanical penthouse) residential and commercial mixed-use building with 207 dwelling units and two levels of underground parking.  A total of 14,299 square metres of gross floor area are proposed, including 468 square metres of commercial Gross Floor Area, which translates to a floor space index of 7.33. In total, 83 parking spaces are 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), the Official Plan, and the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposed development represents appropriate intensification of the Apartment Neighbourhoods designation within the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan and is of a built form that is in keeping with the Mid-Rise Design Guidelines.
