The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on May 28, 2026 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 10-storey mixed use building at 143, 145 and 147 Main Street. The proposed development would include 56 dwelling units, including 7 rental replacement units, and 98 square metres of non-residential space.

The proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024), conforms to the City's Official Plan, and represents appropriate intensification that is compatible with the existing and planned context within a Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA).
