The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 1648, 1650, 1660 and 1664 Dupont Street substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 5 to the report (August 29, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York 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.

3. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to review and report back on the feasibility of amending Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to exclude the development located at 1648, 1650, 1660 and 1664 Dupont Street from Permit Parking.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on September 18, 2025 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit an 11-storey mixed use building at 1648, 1650, 1660 and 1664 Dupont Street containing a total of 10,435 square metres of residential gross floor area (163 dwelling units), 342 square metres gross floor area of retail at grade, a total of 26 vehicular parking spaces, and 103 bicycle parking spaces. On July 24, 2024, site-specific Zoning By-law 866-2024 was approved by City Council for an 11 storey building on the three properties at 1650, 1660 and 1664 Dupont Street. The current application extends the built form principles of the 2024 approval onto the additional property at 1648 Dupont Street, while also incorporating a 0.3 metre City-owned strip of land (one foot reserve) which bisects the site at 1660 Dupont Street.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law with a holding provision, to permit the proposed 11-storey mixed-use building at 1648, 1650, 1660 and 1664 Dupont Street. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan. Staff recommend approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The holding provision is proposed until such time as engineering and infrastructure matters and technical reports have been finalized to address servicing, noise and vibration impacts, and agreement to purchase existing one foot reserve has been executed.
