Decision Advice and Other Information

Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on November 19, 2013, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

Origin

(November 1, 2013) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District

Summary

These applications propose the comprehensive redevelopment of former industrial properties at 3560, 3580 and 3600 Lake Shore Boulevard West into a mixed use community.  The applications propose an eight storey mixed use mid-rise building and a single storey commercial building on separate parcels fronting Lake Shore Boulevard West.  The interior of the site would consist of three and four storey townhouse and stacked townhouse blocks organized around a new public street network and a public park.

 

The proposal would redevelop a brownfield site in a manner that is compatible with adjacent existing industrial uses and consistent with the objectives of Official Plan Site and Area Specific Policy 23 (SASP 23) which applies to the subject lands and the larger block between Thirty Third Street and Browns Line.  An appropriate level of intensification and mix of land uses along an identified transit corridor would be provided with a range of building types.  The proposal is also consistent with the vision of the Lake Shore Boulevard West Avenue Zoning By-law in providing appropriately massed mid-rise development and streetscaping improvements that enhance the pedestrian realm within the former Village of Long Branch.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code.  This report also advises that the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, may approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision subject to the conditions presented in Attachment 10 to this report.
