Summary
This application proposes to amend the former Town of Leaside Zoning By-law No. 1916 to permit a 19-storey (66 metre) and a 13-storey (50 metre) apartment building with retail at grade (2,316 m2). The two buildings would contain a total of 426 dwelling units and 420 parking spaces with 397 located in a 2-level below grade parking garage and 23 surface spaces. A continuous driveway is proposed along the northern boundary of the site providing access to Eglinton Avenue East and Bayview Avenue. The existing commercial plaza would be demolished.
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.
It is intended that a community consultation meeting be scheduled by staff, in consultation with the Ward Councillor. A final report and public meeting under the Planning Act to consider this application is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2015, provided that any required information by the City is submitted in a timely manner by the applicant.
