<p> </p>
<p>The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan, subject to addressing the issues that are the subject to the Holding (H) provision further described in this report.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law with a holding provision. The holding provision is proposed on the site until such time as engineering and infrastructure matters and technical reports have been finalized for the site, to address servicing, transportation, noise and air quality. The proposed development represents an appropriate level of intensification on the site given its neighbouring context as well as location within the Council-adopted Yorkdale MTSA Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMTSA). The proposed development is massed to fit within its existing context while providing appropriate transitions to the adjacent low-rise neighbourhood.</p> | 14 | 5 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 8 - Eglinton - Lawrence | N |

By doing so, this will help to facilitate a proposal for a 46-storey (148.6 metres, plus 8 metres mechanical penthouse for a total of 156.6 metres) residential building with 28,576 square metres of residential gross floor area representing 419 residential units, and 384 square metres of ground floor retail fronting onto Bayview Avenue, as the Station Area Core is intended to provide for more intensified development than the Secondary Zone. The development proposes a total gross floor area of 28,960 square metres with a floor space index of 20.5.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report recommends refusal of the amendment as it would facilitate a greater level of intensification than what has been envisioned through the Plan’s policies and through the identification of specific transit nodes, which has area specific considerations.</p> | 14 | 6 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 15 - Don Valley West | N | … | Report | ACTION | Adopted |

The proposed townhouse units are 3-storeys and vary in height from 11.5 metres to 12.6 metres. The application proposes a total gross floor area of 7,476 square metres and a Floor Space Index of 0.76 times the lot area.

Access to the units will be from a two-way six metre wide private laneway off Drewry Avenue. Two at-grade vehicular parking spaces per unit are provided for residents. The existing Place of Worship on the site would be demolished.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>City Planning staff have reviewed the proposal and are recommending approval in an amended form. Amendments to the original proposal include changes to building setbacks including an increased setback of 3.5 metres from Block 1 to the new public park, an increased front yard setback for Block 1 of 4 metres, and a reduced rear yard setback of 6.2 metres for Block 4 and 6.4 metres for Block 5.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The recommended zoning by-law amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The zoning by-law amendment also conforms to the City's Official Plan.</p>

<p>This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law in an amended form. The recommended Zoning By-law includes a Holding (H) provision on the lands to ensure that preliminary infrastructure matters are identified and addressed.</p>

The proposal contains 683 dwelling units, a residential gross floor area ('GFA') of 36,091 square metres and a non-residential Gross Floor Area of 171 square metres, for an overall density of 18.93 times the lot area.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposal is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 and does not conform with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020. The proposal does not conform to the City's Official Plan, or the Council-adopted Yonge Street North Secondary Plan, which represents Council's vision for the area.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This Report reviews and recommends refusal of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application, particularly as it relates to the height of the proposal; the proposed building massing and intensity; the proposed setbacks and step backs; the required road and laneway widening; and the impact of the proposal on adjacent properties in the existing and planned context which may prevent an orderly development of the block. The refusal is also based on inadequate soil volumes; unconfirmed servicing capacity; non-compliance with the Toronto Green Standard; and the necessary expropriation of the subject lands as part of the Yonge North Subway Extension identified by Metrolinx.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The above outstanding issues could not be resolved within the legislated 120 day timeframe for a decision. If City Council does not make a decision within the legislated timeframe, the City may be subject to a request to refund all or part of the application fees. Further discussions with the applicant may take place to resolve these issues which may then lead to a positive outcome</p> |
