The Etobicoke York Community Council commenced a statutory public meeting on November 26, 2025 that continued on February 18, 2026 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This Report recommends approval of the application to amend a site specific Zoning By-law at 250 Wincott Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West to increase the heights of two previously approved mixed-use buildings (Buildings A and B) from 11-storeys each to 24- and 29-storeys. With the proposed increase in heights, the current development application would permit approximately 690 residential units and 513 square metres of non-residential space, 470 square metres of community agency space, and 387 residential parking spaces in Buildings A and B. The site is currently developed with an existing commercial plaza (Building D) that would remain in the northern portion of the site. The site has permissions for an additional mixed-use building (Building C) located in the southeast portion of the site near the intersection of Wincott Drive and Eglinton Avenue West.

The current development application is scoped to the central and west portions of 250 Wincott Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West, focused on increasing the heights of Buildings A and B while continuing to provide the main elements from the 2021 Rezoning (18 150932 WET 04 OZ), including non-residential and community agency space in the base buildings of Buildings A and B, and maintaining the previously approved public park, Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible space (POPS), private street with access from Wincott Drive and Eglinton Avenue West, and private driveway with access from Widdicombe Hill Boulevard. All site accesses would continue to have public access easements secured for both vehicles and pedestrians. The current development application does not seek changes to Building C and D beyond the permissions that are already in place for those two buildings through existing Planning Act approvals to date.

Overall, Buildings A, B, C, and D are designed to function together to provide a cohesive public realm and add a significant amount of new residential units (both rental and condominium), commercial space, and public amenities to this area of Eglinton Avenue West in close proximity to planned higher order transit – the Eglington Crosstown West Extension (ECWE) – with its associated planned stations at Kipling Avenue and Islington Avenue.

The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council include 2125 Lawrence Avenue West on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Listing Statement (Reasons for Inclusion) attached as Attachment 1 to the report (January 20, 2026) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning.

This report recommends that City Council include 2125 Lawrence Avenue West on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for its cultural heritage value and interest according to the Listing Statement (Reasons for Inclusion) found in Attachment 1.

The subject property at 2125 Lawrence Avenue West, City-owned facility is historically known as the Weston Lions Arena, is in the Weston neighbourhood on the south side of Lawrence Avenue, in Lions Park adjacent to the Humber River.

On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (the Act) through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect.

The Act now also limits listing to a period of two years.

A prescribed event is a point of time when the application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application has been deemed complete and the City Clerk provides notice of that complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act. 

The listing of non-designated properties on the municipal heritage register under the Act also extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Act should a development or demolition application be submitted.

Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties.
