Decision Advice and Other Information
The Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on January 13, 2026 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.
Origin
Summary
This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law for the site municipally known as 1212 to 1238 Kingston Road to permit the redevelopment of the subject lands with a 10 storey mixed use building, comprised of a total of 13,276 square metres of gross floor area. A total of 200 residential units are proposed, including 10 rental replacement units. A total 596 square metres of commercial gross floor area is proposed on the ground floor and 101 vehicular parking spaces are proposed to be provided in two levels of underground parking. Access to the underground garage is proposed from one driveway to the rear of the site off Fallingbrook Road.
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan. It would provide housing options in a mid-rise form, intensifying an underutilized site along Kingston Road consistent with the emerging context. It also replaces the majority of the existing commercial space on site, providing local services for existing and new residents.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
