Origin
Summary
The applicant submitted a rezoning application in March 2013 to redevelop 1 and 7 Yonge Street and subsequently determined, in consultation with City Planning, that an Official Plan Amendment to the former City of Toronto Official Plan is also required.
The site is proposed to be divided into two blocks by an eastern 27 metre wide extension of Harbour Street. On the south block, the application proposes to retain and add 10 storeys to the existing Toronto Star building and also develop an attached 70- storey hotel/residential building and a 40-storey office building connected with a 6-storey podium. On the north block, four new residential towers are proposed with heights of 75, 80, 80 and 88 storeys with an 8-storey podium for residential, retail and commercial uses.
Toronto and East York Community Council considered a preliminary report on the rezoning application in June 2013. This additional report provides preliminary information on the subsequent Official Plan Amendment application and seeks directions on further processing of the application and on the community consultation process.
