The North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on March 31, 2026, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act, RSO 1990.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law for the property at 45 Grenoble Drive in order to allow a new 40-storey (126 metre plus 7 metre mechanical penthouse) residential building connected to a 5-storey (18 metre) podium. The proposed development would contain 405 residential units.

The existing 28-storey (71.1 metres) residential building containing 217 rental dwelling units would be retained.

The proposed development conforms to the Official Plan by retaining the existing purpose-built rental building and adding a new building that adds to the housing stock in the Flemingdon Park neighbourhood.  The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024).

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposed development represents an efficient and compatible use of a property within a Major Transit Station Area, conveniently located near public transit, and incorporates energy-efficient design features.
