Origin
Summary
This report recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the development of a 24-storey mixed-use building with a 7-storey podium at 3718 and 3730 Kingston Road. A total gross floor area of 30,905 square metres is proposed, consisting of 30,233 square metres of residential gross floor area (419 residential units) and 672 square metres of non-residential gross floor area resulting in a floor space index (FSI) of 5.25 times the area of the lot.
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement 2024 (PPS 2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan. The proposal will intensify an underutilized site along an Avenue that is well served by both surface transit and emerging higher order transit networks through the Eglinton East Light Rail (EELRT).
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
