Decision Advice and Other Information
The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 13, 2012, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.
Origin
Summary
This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and repeal Site Specific By-law No. 630-2006 to permit the construction of a 3½ storey mixed-use building, which includes a partial top floor containing separate mechanical and residential penthouse areas as well as to recognize the existing detached and semi-detached duplex houses that form part of the site. The Official Plan Amendment is to permit a mixed-use development in a section of Christie Street designated Neighbourhoods.
The City Planning Division recommends approval of the proposed mixed-use apartment building containing two neighbourhood-serving retail uses to both provide for the local demand for rental apartment units as well as reinforcing the existing adjacent neighbourhood-serving retail uses. In addition, the proposal is substantially in keeping with the relevant built form and other Official Plan policies and urban design guidelines.
