The Etobicoke York Community Council withdrew the item.

This item was withdrawn from the agenda and will be included on the May 17, 2021 Etobicoke York Community Council agenda.

This application proposes to amend both the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code and City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to permit a multi-building, mixed-use development including a 1,700 m2 public park fronting Eglinton Avenue West, a 659 m2 privately-owned publicly-accessible open space (POPS) abutting the public park, and a 465 m2 community agency space 250 Wincott Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West.

The proposed development consists of an 11-storey mixed-building (Building C) located at the southeast corner of the site, a 13-storey building (Building B) immediately north of the proposed public park, and a 13-storey building (Building A) located to the northwest of the proposed private street. The existing retail plaza (Building D) is to remain and a 8.6 m wide addition is proposed at the east end of the building.

The total gross floor area of the proposed development is 65,237 m2, of which 11,038 m2 would be non-residential gross floor area, 53,734 m2 would be residential and 465 m2 would be community agency space. The development would contain 587 residential units, of which 54 would be purpose-built affordable rental dwelling units. A new 8.5 m L-shaped mid-block private road is proposed connecting Wincott Drive and Eglinton Avenue West. A total of 932 vehicular parking spaces located within a 2-level underground garage and at-grade are proposed.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-laws to permit the proposed development.
