Summary
An application has been submitted to amend the City's Official Plan and Zoning By-law No. 7625 for the former City of North York to permit a residential development through the conversion of employment lands. This application proposes to remove the lands bounded by Wilson Heights Boulevard, Wilson Avenue, Champlain Boulevard, Highway 401 and Allen Road, which includes the property at 9 Tippett Road, from an Employment District on the Official Plan's Urban Structure Map 2. Also proposed is the redesignation of the lands municipally known as 9 Tippett Road from Employment Areas to Mixed Use Areas.
These amendments propose a residential development with 443 dwelling units having a gross floor area of 37,790 m2. The building would have various heights and is proposed to wrap the western property line (Tippett Road) at 14 storeys, the southern property line at 7-storeys, the eastern property line at 11-storeys and be connected along the northern property line with a 2-storey amenity wing. Access to the site would be from a driveway off Tippett Road and all parking would be provided in a 2 level underground garage containing 465 vehicular parking spaces, including 66 spaces dedicated for visitors.
This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted application and seeks Planning and Growth Management Committee's directions on further processing of the application and on the community consultation process.
