Summary
This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 7 storey mixed-use building with 19 rental dwelling units and 121.8 square metres of retail/commercial space at grade at 1400 Gerrard Street 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 proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The mixed-use building is an appropriate scale for the site and fits within the existing and planned context of the surrounding area. Additionally, the proposal contributes to the overall supply and mix of housing units and tenure.
