The Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 5, 2025, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report recommends approval of a Zoning By-law amendment to permit the construction of a four-storey (12.62 metres excluding the elevator overrun) residential building containing 47 new affordable rental dwelling units at 62 Orchard Park Drive. The proposed building would be located on the lands currently used as a surface parking lot adjacent to the existing West Hill United Church and Mentoring, Academic, Art Technology Youth Innovation and Cultural Centre (the "MAAT Centre"), which is to be retained and continue operating on the site. A total of 29 vehicular parking spaces are proposed to support the existing Mentoring, Academic, Art Technology Youth Innovation and Cultural Centre and the proposed development.

This report recommends a Holding (H) provision on the subject site to ensure that the identified infrastructure matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer, Engineering Construction Services.
