Origin
Summary
The owner of the property at 175 Wynford Drive, Allied Don Valley Hotel Inc., has filed a rezoning application to amend the site specific zoning that applies to the site. The application proposes 913 dwelling units in two residential towers of 34 and 30 storeys, joined by a four storey podium, and the phased conversion of the existing 6-storey hotel for residential uses. The development would have a gross floor area of 67,669 m² resulting in a density or Floor Space Index over the entire lands of 3.0 FSI.
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 application will be reviewed concurrently and in the context of the EglintonConnects planning study currently underway for the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) line.
A Final Report is targeted for the first quarter of 2014 provided that the applicant submits all required information in a timely manner.
