Origin
Summary
At its meeting of July 17, 2008 City Council deferred an application for a zoning amendment to permit a mixed use office/retail/residential development at 1185 Eglinton Avenue East. The application was deferred pending a study of Area Specific Policy 76 which provides for a mix of residential, office, open space and institutional uses with a maximum Floor Space Index (FSI) of 1.8. In June 2011 the new owners of the subject property filed a zoning amendment application for two residential towers of 34 and 31 storeys in height and 77 townhouses for a total of 757 units and an FSI of 5.0. The existing office tower has been demolished. This report provides preliminary information on the revised application and on the study of Area Specific Policy 76 and seeks Community Council’s directions on further processing of the application and on the community consultation process respecting the application and the area study.
