1. City Council amend the Official Plan for the lands municipally known as 2221 and 2223 Kennedy Road and 3, 5 and 7 Collingwood Street substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment included as Attachment 5 to the report (March 17, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District.

2. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 2221 and 2223 Kennedy Road and 3, 5 and 7 Collingwood Street substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 6 to the report (March 17, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough 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.

The Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on April 3, 2025 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the site municipally known at 2221 and 2223 Kennedy Road and 3, 5 and 7 Collingwood Street to permit the development of three four-storey (14.6 to 16.9 metres including the rooftop stair enclosures) stacked and back-to-back townhouse buildings containing 68 residential units. The development is proposed to contain approximately 7,700 square metres of residential gross floor area and one level of underground parking with access from a private street off of Collingwood Street.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan. It will provide housing options in a low-rise built form, intensifying an underutilized site along a major street, respectful of both the existing and planned context.
