Summary

This report recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 41-storey mixed use building with retail at-grade, non-residential uses on floors 2 to 20, and 135 residential units above.

 

The Official Plan Amendment is required to permit the proposed development to be visible behind the silhouette at the west side of City Hall’s West Tower, as protected in the City's Official Plan view policies.
