PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF
 ZONING BY-LAW 1558-2025  
 

The purpose and effect of Zoning By-law 1558-2025 is to amend City of Toronto site specific Zoning By-law 1145-2023 (Parkdale Hub) to introduce minor corrections.  The corrections are the result of City Council direction to amend the original authority brought forward under motion 2025MM35.33 at its meeting December 16 and 17, 2025. The revisions are minor and solely for the purpose of removing text references to the municipal address 1345 Queen Street West, which was inadvertently included in the original authority but was a service address associated with adjacent lands. All diagrams in By-law 1145-2023 illustrating the intended lands were correct.
