Decision Advice and Other Information
Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on September 8, 2015, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.
Origin
Summary
This application proposes the development of an eight-storey building with 267 m2 of retail space at grade, 43 residential rental units on the second through seventh storeys and a partial eighth storey that would provide access to a proposed rooftop amenity space at 2978-2982 Dundas Street West and 406-408 Pacific Avenue.
The building as revised would comply with Official Plan policies by intensifying a Mixed Use Areas site on an Avenue, provide an appropriate transition to areas of different development intensity and scale, maintain the non-residential at-grade character of Dundas Street West in this area, enhance the streetscape and improve the mix and tenure of housing in the area.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
