The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend the Official Plan, for the lands at 2595 St. Clair Avenue West substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment included as Attachment 5 to the report (April 10, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Official Plan Amendment and draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

4. City Council classify the lands municipally known as 2595 St. Clair Avenue West as a Class 4 Noise Area pursuant to Publication NPC-300 (Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Environmental Noise Guideline - Stationary and Transportation Sources - Approval and Planning).

5. City Council direct the Executive Director, Development Review or their designate to forward a copy of the City Council Decision to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks.

The Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on April 30, 2025 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law at 2595 St. Clair Avenue West to permit an 11-storey mixed-use mid-rise building fronting St. Clair Avenue West and attached 20-storey residential tower further set back containing a total of 505 residential units. The proposed development would also include a 355-square metre Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS), and 2,453 square metres of commercial space provided on two levels fronting St. Clair Avenue West.

The proposed draft Official Plan Amendment would amend Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) 356 to exempt the development from the precinct plan requirement in recognition of the peripheral nature of the site, while still requiring certain objectives to be met on the site.
