Origin
Summary
This application proposes a four storey stacked townhouse building with 39 residential units and one level of underground parking at 639 - 645 Lawrence Avenue West. The proposed building would have a height of 14 metres and a density of 1.71 times the area of the lot. A total of 45 parking spaces are proposed.
The proposal would result in a compact low-rise residential building on an arterial road in close proximity to the Lawrence West subway station, thus making efficient use of land and existing infrastructure, including public services and facilities, parks and open spaces and recreation facilities.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend Zoning By-law No. 7625 of the former City of North York.
