Community Council Decision
The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the report dated December 13, 2010, from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, respecting the Preliminary Report - 245-251 College Street and 39 and 40 Glasgow Street - Rezoning Application, until its next meeting to be held on February 16, 2011.
Origin
Summary
This application was made on or after January 1, 2007, and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
This application proposes a privately built and operated, 42-storey academic residence. A 3-storey podium is proposed to contain retail, academic services and lecture halls to be used by the University of Toronto at 245-51 College Street, and 39 and 40 Glasgow Street.
The application in its current form is not supportable. Of considerable concern to staff is the appropriateness of the proposed scale, density, massing and transition towards the existing adjacent neighbourhoods. The further processing of the application and public consultation process are recommended in order to give the applicant the opportunity to work with City staff, the community and the Ward Councillor to address these issues, and others that may arise through further review of the application.
