Summary
This application proposes a mixed-use development at 459 Eastern Avenue on a site associated with the existing Weston Bakery. The proposal comprises three buildings of 6, 4, and 2 storeys, with 71 residential live-work units and 7,883 square metres of non-residential floor space dedicated to retail, office, and other commercial uses.
This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted applications and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the applications and on the community consultation process.
The proponent has also submitted Official Plan Amendment and rezoning applications for the Weston Bakery site located across the street at 462 Eastern Avenue, which is the subject of a separate preliminary report.
Staff recommend that a community consultation meeting be held in the area upon completion of the Five Year and Municipal Comprehensive Reviews, addressing both the subject application and the application for 462 Eastern Avenue. The meeting will provide an opportunity to the public to review the application and to provide input and feedback on the proposal.
