The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on July 8, 2026 and notice was given in accordance with the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

This report recommends approval of a Rental Housing Demolition application which proposes to demolish 19 rental dwelling units located at 10 Maynard Avenue. The 19 rental units are proposed to be replaced as part of the new development on the site. The proposal includes a Tenant Assistance Plan that addresses the right of existing tenants of the rental units to return to replacement rental units at similar rents and provides financial compensation to mitigate hardship for tenants of the rental units.

The proposed development on the site at 1464 King Street West and 10 to 12 Maynard Avenue is the subject of a related Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application (24 253913 STE 04 OZ). The application proposes a 13-storey mixed-use building with 80 dwelling units, including 19 replacement rental units, ground-floor retail and daycare uses, and a temple with religious residences. To facilitate the development, a total of 19 rental dwelling units and 3 rental dwelling rooms are proposed to be demolished. An approval report for the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application has been advanced concurrently with this Rental Housing Demolition application approval report.

This report also recommends approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.
