Item - 2024.SC11.2

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended for the lands at 3060 Eglinton Avenue East substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (January 30, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District.

2. City Council authorizes the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required.

The Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on February 16, 2024, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013, as amended, to permit the construction of an 80 unit townhouse development at 3060 Eglinton Avenue East, including 10 affordable housing units.

The development consists of 4-storey stacked townhouses, organized into 6 blocks having a total gross floor area of approximately 10,040 square meters and an overall density of 0.72 times the area of the lot. A total of 92 parking spaces are proposed including 12 visitor parking spaces. Vehicular access is proposed from an 8 metre wide  private street off Eglinton Avenue East.

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 conforms to the applicable Official Plan policies and complies with the criteria in the City's Townhouse and Low-Rise Apartment Guidelines with a built form that is compatible with the adjacent uses. The proposal would intensify an underutilized site in proximity to existing and emerging higher order transit.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law
