Origin
Summary
This application was submitted on February 14, 2008 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
The rezoning application proposes a 28 storey residential apartment building on a site containing an existing office building at 1185 Eglinton Avenue East. The existing building is proposed to be retained.
This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application in its present form because the proposed development does not conform to Official Plan policies which require an appropriate transition between Mixed Use Areas and Neighbourhoods. A review of Site Specific Official Plan Policy No. 76, which presently applies to the subject property, is proposed to determine the effect of the permitted density and to recommend guidelines for appropriate built form for all lands within this site specific policy area.
Financial Impact
The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.
