Origin
Summary
This application proposes a 14-storey residential building at 11 Lillian Street and 132-142 Soudan Avenue. The proposed building has 98 residential units and a total density of 7.96 times the lot area. It has an 11-storey tower that sits on top of a 3-storey base. The base contains four grade-related units facing the Neighbourhoods designated area on the south side of Soudan Avenue. The application proposes 84 parking spaces in a 4-level underground garage.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposed development fits its context in an Apartment Neighbourhood, provides an acceptable transition in height to the Neighbourhood area to the south, given the overall context, minimizes negative impacts from its built form, and conforms to applicable policies of the Official Plan.
