Origin

(April 9, 2024) Report from the Director, Community Planning, North York District

Summary

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-laws to permit the redevelopment of the subject land for six, 3-storey townhouses with an average building height of 11.23 metres.  Each unit will have a single car integral garage at the rear of the townhouses accessed by the shared driveway from Newton Drive. The total gross floor area of the proposed development is 1035.0 square metres resulting in an overall Floor Space Index of 1.29 times the lot area.

 

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 proposal represents an appropriate infill redevelopment that expands housing choices on a major street (Bayview Avenue) located on a transit corridor.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-laws as it conforms with the Official Plan. The development will be massed to fit harmoniously with its existing context while providing appropriate transitions to the adjacent low-rise neighbourhood.
