Decision Advice and Other Information

The North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on July 7, 2026, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act, RSO 1990.

Origin

(July 2, 2026) Report from the Director, Community Planning, North York District

Summary

Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment to permit a 7 storey (21 metres plus a 4 metre mechanical penthouse and rooftop amenity space) residential building at 922 Millwood Road. The proposed building would have a total gross floor area of 3,870 square metres including 83 square metres of retail uses at grade, 44 residential dwelling units and 29 vehicular parking spaces. Vehicular access to the development would be provided from a private driveway from Krawchuk Lane.

 

The original application was for an 8 storey (26.3 metres plus a 4 metre mechanical penthouse) residential building with a total gross floor area of 5,084 square metres including 50 square metres of retail uses at grade, 60 residential dwelling units and 29 vehicular parking spaces. The proposed height has been reduced since the initial submission.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law application. The Official Plan and Zoning By-law application is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and is in keeping with the City's Official Plan. It will provide housing options in an appropriate built form, intensifying an underutilized site in a way that is respectful of both the existing and planned context.
