Item - 2026.PH31.4

The Planning and Housing Committee recommends that:

1. City Council amend the Official Plan for the lands municipally known as 40 Bushby Drive substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment included as Attachment 7 to the report (May 26, 2026) from the Interim Executive Director, Development Review.

2. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 40 Bushby Drive substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 8 to the report (May 26, 2026) from the Interim Executive Director, Development Review.

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

The Planning and Housing Committee held a Statutory Public Meeting on June 11, 2026 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report recommends amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit three residential towers which range in height from 59 to 44-storeys and a minimum non-residential gross floor area of 1,000 square metres at 40 Bushby Drive. The recommended Official Plan Amendment removes the requirement for a public street in the Scarborough Secondary Plan.

The recommended Zoning By-law Amendment protects for any outcomes that may emerge from the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) Future Use Initiative. The site is located across the street from the future Scarborough Centre station, currently under construction. It also contains infrastructure related to the former Line 3 SRT being evaluated under the SRT Future Use Initiative.

The City-owned site addressed in this Report is being developed in accordance with the Toronto Builds Policy Framework ("Toronto Builds"), which guides the development of new housing, including affordable housing. Consistent with the Toronto Builds Policy Framework, 20-30% of the residential units are proposed to be affordable and the development will provide a publicly accessible space and non-residential space.

The Housing Development Office, in consultation with other City divisions and agencies, will oversee future delivery of the site, including determining the delivery model, securing development partners where appropriate, and advancing the feasibility and detailed design through a future Site Plan Control process.
