Origin
Summary
This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 10-storey mixed-use building (38.5 metres including mechanical penthouse) at 509 Parliament Street. The proposal includes 60 dwelling units and approximately 278 square metres of ground floor retail.
The property was identified by City Council as meriting designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Designation By-law is currently under appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal and is not yet in force and effect. The proposal includes partial retention of the front façade within the new development. A separate report from Heritage Planning regarding the proposed alterations to the designated heritage property will be considered by City Council in conjunction with this report.
