Item - 2025.SC22.1

The Scarborough Community Council:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended, for the lands at 799 Brimley Road substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (April 11, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District.

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

The Scarborough Community Council commenced a statutory public meeting on May 1, 2025, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law for the site municipally known as 799 Brimley Road to permit the development of a 24 storey residential building containing 385 residential units. The development is proposed to contain a gross floor area of 28,180 square metres resulting in a floor space index of 5.1 times the area of the lot with one level of underground parking. Access to the underground garage is proposed from a driveway off Brimley Road.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2024). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan. It would provide housing options in a tall building, intensifying an underutilized site along Brimley Road.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law which will include a Holding (H) provision. The recommended Holding (H) provision will  ensure that outstanding engineering issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services prior to permitting development on the subject lands.
