Origin
Summary
This report recommends approval of the application to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended by Site-Specific Zoning By-law 825-2021, to permit a modified version of the approved mixed-use building on Block 5 of the Bloor-Kipling Block Context Plan (970 Kipling Avenue). Whereas the approved zoning allows for a two-tower development with heights of 42.0 and 91.0 metres, the revised proposal incorporates two repositioned towers, increased tower heights (94.7 and 140.3 metres), larger tower floor plates (810 and 836 square metres), and a reduction in non-residential gross floor area. Approximately 840 residential units are proposed, including 198 affordable units. This development proposal on City-owned land is being delivered through the Toronto Builds Policy Framework.
