Summary
This report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-Law to permit a 6-storey (22.5 metre plus 4.5 metres to mechanical penthouse) residential apartment building at 2425 - 2427 Bayview Avenue and 1 The Bridle Path. The proposed building would have a total gross floor area of 13,475 square metres, 56 residential dwelling units and 122 vehicular parking spaces.
