The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on October 6, 2015, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.
Origin
Summary
This application proposes a new two-storey retail/commercial building with a gross floor area of 1,985 square metres at 125, 129 and 131 O'Connor Drive and 1119 and 1121 Pape Avenue. A total of 19 vehicular parking spaces and 10 bicycle spaces will be provided.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law because the proposed building sensitively deploys height and massing on site, mitigates noise and traffic impacts, and is compatible with the surrounding Neighbourhood.
