Item - 2025.SC24.1

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 4610 Finch Avenue East substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 5 to the report (June 18, 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 held a statutory public meeting on July 8, 2025, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 13-storey (52.7 metres, excluding the mechanical penthouse) building containing a 378 bed long-term care facility, an ambulance depot, medical offices and other ancillary uses at 4610 Finch Avenue East. The building would result in a total gross floor area of 40,020 square metres. Vehicular parking will be contained in the second and third level of the building.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City’s Official Plan. This proposal responds to the urgent need for long-term care services in the City of Toronto by providing the proposed uses in an appropriately scaled development activating an underutilized City-owned site.
