The 14 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 dwelling units and rooms to return to replacement rental units at similar rents and provides financial compensation to mitigate hardship for all impacted tenants.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed development on the site is the subject of a related Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application (22 236554 WET 03 OZ). The proposed development would permit a 39-storey residential building with 490 dwelling units, including 14 replacement rental units and 438 square metres of non-residential gross floor area. 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.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>City staff have been working diligently to expedite the approvals process and help facilitate the creation of more housing in Ward 5. Both 87 Ethel Avenue and 2595 St. Clair Avenue West Zoning By-law Amendments were approved by City Council to permit greater heights and densities in keeping with Provincial and municipal planning policies and growth targets. Together, they propose to bring nearly 2000 residential units to the community, including 141 affordable units.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Holding provisions were necessary to bring the implementing zoning by-laws to City Council for consideration in a timely manner. The holding provision for 87 Ethel Avenue is to secure affordable housing through an affordable housing agreement. The holding provision for 2595 St. Clair Avenue West is to confirm rail safety and air/noise quality concerns are appropriately addressed through peer review. Both applicants and City staff have been working diligently towards satisfying the requirements of these provisions.</p>
<p>Holding By-law Amendment applications to remove the holding provisions and bring the zoning by-laws into effect are anticipated shortly. This process is delegated to Executive Director, Development Review and their designate. The waiving of application fees for both sites would remove an additional cost for these applicants, who would then be able to move through the Site Plan Control process and construct this much needed housing.</p> |

| 142867 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | — | 250 Wincott Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West Development | 2025.EY25.26 | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>The development site at Richview Square Plaza located at 250 Wincott Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West has a long and complicated history, and also remains active through various applications to Council and to the Ontario Lands Tribunal. There are a number of connected Committee of Adjustment decisions, with the latest as recent as September 11, 2025, which allowed for a new residential floor above the approved metric height limit of one of the buildings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The original open air retail plaza has existed for many years serving as the heart of the community by providing local goods and services to residents. In 2018 an application was made to request high density residential development on the mixed-use site. The planning process continued through to 2021 with several iterations, extensive community involvement, and a special real estate deal through CreateTO to sell the City-owned lands along the Eglington Avenue frontage to provide a single cohesive assembly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In July 2021 Council approved a plan with three new mid-rise buildings A/B/C at equivalent heights of 11/11/12 storeys containing a grand total of 587 units, new non-residential space, a new park and POPS and affordable housing units. A significant portion of the retail plaza, building D, was retained.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since the 2021 Council decision, there have been numerous changes, requests to the Committee of Adjustment and appeals to the Ontario Land Tribunal. With each change, Council’s vision for this site under the 2021 real estate deal and the planning decision has been incrementally replaced with the developer’s own aspirations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In January 2023, the applicant requested to rezone buildings A and B from 11 storeys each to taller ones, now 24 and 29 storeys, representing a very significant departure from the mid-rise solution originally supported by both by Council and the surrounding community. This application is currently under review by City staff.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At the centre of this development project is a City real estate deal where public land was sold to have a better planning outcome, a complete community, and to meet City building objectives, within the context of the comprehensive mid-rise plan. That plan is quickly disappearing, and a number of questions and concerns persist among community members who are exasperated with the barrage of changes and a departure from a shared vision that included a public land deal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The community and other participants in the various decision making processes deserve a comprehensive accounting to where this development project is today, and what the pending decisions are from the various authorities. This piecemeal planning approach is eroding public trust and is an unsustainable way to shape the future of our City. It also raises questions about the best use of public land resources and a reconciliation of results. In light of all of these activities and changes, I am requesting the support of the Community Council to urgently bring clarity on the current status of this site and to allow for better preparations for upcoming decisions.</p> |
