Origin

(March 13, 2024) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District

Summary

This application proposes to amend the zoning by-law to permit a 13 storey mixed-use building containing 91 dwelling units and 260 square metres of ground floor retail at 2453-2469 Bloor Street West. Staff are recommending a modified approval of a 10 storey mixed-use building to better support the existing and planned context of this area, and to maintain adequate sunlight on the public realm on Bloor Street West.

 

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 proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan.

 

This report reviews and recommends modified approval of the application to amend the zoning by-law, with a holding provision. The proposal is intended to use mass-timber construction, advancing a sustainable construction method and building.
