Item - 2011.TE3.24

The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:

1.         Staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 906 Yonge Street and 25 McMurrich Street together with the Ward Councillor.

2.         Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site, and expanded to include additional condominium owners and residents in the area bounded by Cumberland Street to Belmont Street and Yonge Street to Bay Street/Davenport Road, with the costs to be borne by the applicant.

3.         Notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act be given according to the regulations under the Planning Act.

This is a rezoning application to permit the redevelopment of the lands at 906 Yonge Street and 25 McMurrich Street for the purposes of a hotel and residential development consisting of a 28-storey residential condominium tower fronting on McMurrich Street (in place of an existing surface parking lot) and a 35-storey hotel and residential condominium tower fronting onto Yonge Street, partially retaining the historically listed Ridpath's Furniture Store building.

This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted application and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the application and on the community consultation process.

The next step is to conduct a community consultation meeting to allow the public to review the application and provide feedback. This meeting is expected to take place early in 2011.
