Origin
Summary
This report recommends amendments to the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan and the adoption of Urban Design Guidelines to implement the results of the Planning Study for the block bounded by Yonge Street, Duplex Avenue, Helendale Avenue and Orchard View Boulevard. An Area Specific Policy in the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan is appropriate to provide a further layer of policy direction that reinforces and builds on the existing planning framework for the block and reflects the guiding principles arising from the Planning Study. Urban Design Guidelines that include specific guidelines for the public realm, building location and organization including servicing and access, building massing and articulation, and pedestrian amenities are also recommended.
