Origin
Summary
This report recommends that City Council designate the subject lands as a Class 4 Noise Area under relevant provincial noise guidelines administered by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) for the lands at 363-391 Yonge Street.
A Class 4 Area designation allows for higher daytime and night-time sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a noise sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas. The impact of such higher levels would be mitigated by noise control measures that are part of the development.
A Detailed Environmental Noise Impact Assessment was prepared by GHD Limited in response to the proposed development at 363-391 Yonge Street. This assessment concludes that a Class 4 designation of the development site would be beneficial for land use compatibility with Toronto Metropolitan University.
An 85-storey mixed use development with 1,415 dwelling units and 7,440 square metres of non-residential gross floor area is currently under construction at 363-391 Yonge Street.
