The Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on January 6, 2026 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This Report recommends approval of an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to allow for a 15-storey (52-metre, including mechanical penthouse and enclosed rooftop amenity space) mixed-use building with approximately 332 dwelling units, and a minimum non-residential gross floor area of 590 square metres at 829 The Queensway.

Amendments to the Official Plan include removing the rear portion of site from the Employment Areas overlay and to bring entire site into the Avenues overlay (Map 2 - Urban Structure). The application also proposes to redesignate the rear portion of the site from General Employment Areas to Mixed Use Areas (Map 15 - Land Use).

The application is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan.
