Item - 2026.NY34.26

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend the Official Plan for the lands municipally known as 5 Fairview Mall Drive substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment included as Attachment 6 to the report (June 18, 2026) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.

2. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 5 Fairview Mall Drive substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 7 to the report (June 18, 2026) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.

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.

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.

This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law with a Holding provision to permit a multi-phase redevelopment of the subject site with three mixed use and residential towers, including a total of 1,302 dwelling units, and a total gross floor area of 90,836 square metres at 5 Fairview Mall Drive. The proposal includes tower heights of 33-storeys, 43-storeys and 45-storeys with a shared below grade parking garage, the replacement of the existing medical office building, and a new enhanced landscape area with public access.

The Official Plan amendment is required in order to increase the density permissions for this site as identified in the Sheppard East Corridor Secondary Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) are consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conform to the City's Official Plan and have appropriate regard for the matters of provincial interest listed in Section 2 of the Planning Act. The draft Official Plan Amendment also conforms with the Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan (SESCSP).

A Holding provision will be added to the site-specific By-law in order to ensure that there is adequate sewer, water and stormwater capacity available, and for the applicant to provide drawings, reports or other material that ensures each building can be appropriately serviced by waste collection facilities and services to the satisfaction of the City.

There are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this Report in the current budget year or in future years.
