The Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on December 6, 2024, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the redevelopment of the subject site with a 23-storey mixed use building. A total of 335 dwelling units are proposed and a total gross floor area (GFA) of 21,167 square metres, including 386 square metres of first floor retail/commercial floor space.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024). The proposed development is also consistent with the general intent of the City's Official Plan and complies with Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) 127 by proposing residential and retail/commercial uses only. It will intensify a site along a major street that is well served by both surface transit and emerging higher order transit networks.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The recommended Zoning By-law Amendment includes a Holding (H) provision on the subject site to ensure that the identified infrastructure matters are addressed.
