Item - 2026.TE34.9

The Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 2273, 2275 and 2279 Bloor Street West substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 5 to this report.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

3. City Council require the owner to provide a Tenant Assistance Plan for tenants of the existing rental dwelling units proposed to be demolished to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.

4. City Council direct that prior to the removal of the proposed holding provisions in the proposed By-law, the applicant be required to enter into a legal agreement and register a Section 118 restriction on title to ensure assumption of the agreement by subsequent owners to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, securing the implementation of the Tenant Assistance Plan required by Recommendation 3 above.

5. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review and report back on the feasibility of amending Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to exclude the development located at 2271, 2273 and 2279 Bloor Street West from Permit Parking.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 15 storey mixed-use building (including the mechanical penthouse and amenity space at the uppermost storey) at 2273, 2277 and 2279 Bloor Street West. The proposed building includes 60 residential units and retail at grade. The total gross floor area of the proposed building is 5,545 square metres of which 116 square metres is for retail use. The proposed development includes a 0.4 metre right-of-way widening along the Bloor Street West frontage.

The proposed 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).

There are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.
