Origin
Summary
This report reviews and recommends approval of an application to amend the City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit a 13 storey mixed use development at 1095 and 1111 Danforth Avenue. The building is proposed to contain 272 rental dwelling units, 673.7 square metres of non-residential gross floor area and one level of underground parking. Staff support approval of the proposed development, as it responds to the City's affordable housing strategy, provides an enhanced public realm, and integrates and retains the façade of the Trull Funeral Home at 1111 Danforth Avenue, identified as having cultural heritage value.
This report recommends a holding provision (“H”) be included in the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, to address a shared loading arrangement with the neighbouring 1117 Danforth Avenue proposal (file 24 120936 STE 14 OZ).
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), and represents an appropriate form and scale of development.
