The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:

1.         Staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 5 to 25 Wellesley Street West and 14 to 26 Breadalbane Street together with the Ward Councillor.

2.         Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site.

3.         Notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act be given according to the regulations under the Planning Act.

This application proposes to redevelop the subject site with a mixed use development consisting of two residential towers at 45 (146 metres including mechanical penthouse) and 54 (172 metres including mechanical penthouse) storeys including a 9-storey and 10-storey inverted L-shaped base that connects the two towers.  The development proposes a total of 1,304 dwellings units located both within the towers and in the base above a 1 storey street-related retail space.  The development will also incorporate, expand and frame the existing park.

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 next step is to conduct a community consultation meeting to allow the public to review the application and provide feedback.  A Final Report is targeted for the first quarter of 2014 assuming the applicant has provided all required information in a timely manner.
