2. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 537, 539, 541, 543, 545 and 547 Eglinton Avenue East and 59 and 61 Hoyle Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 6 to this Report.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Official Plan Amendment and draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 35-storey (111.95 metres, plus 6 metres mechanical penthouse for a total of 117.95 metres) mixed-use building with 383 dwelling units. A total of 26,155 square metres of gross floor area (GFA) is proposed, including approximately 250 square metres of commercial gross floor area at 537, 539, 541, 543, 545 and 547 Eglinton Avenue East and 59 and 61 Hoyle Avenue. A 6 metre laneway connection is to be provided at the rear of the site.

The Official Plan Amendment has been submitted to re-designate the lands noted above and 551 Eglinton Avenue East. The Official Plan Amendment re-designates these lands to Mixed-Use Areas and brings these lands into the Bayview Focus Area Core, Mixed-Use Area “B”, and into the Transit Station Core Area.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application. The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and is in keeping with the City's Official Plan, including the Yonge and Eglinton Secondary Plan (OPA 405).
