Item - 2016.EY15.11

Etobicoke York Community Council:

1.  Directed staff to schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 2978-2988 Dundas Street West and 406-408 Pacific Avenue together with the Ward Councillor.

2.  Directed that Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 240 metres of the site, and expanded in consultation with the Ward Councillor, with the additional cost to be borne by the applicant.

3.  Directed that Notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act be given according to the regulations of the Planning Act.

The Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes to modify City Council's previous approval for the development of 2978-2982 Dundas Street West and 406-408 Pacific Avenue (Zoning By-law Nos. 953-2015 and 954-2015) by including three additional properties to the development (2984, 2986 and 2988 Dundas Street West). The current application proposes to demolish the four existing buildings containing 7 residential rental dwelling units at 2978-2988 Dundas Street West and 406-408 Pacific Avenue and replace them with an 8-storey mixed use building. The building would contain 892m2 of retail space at grade, 84 residential rental units on the second through seventh floors and a partial eighth storey that would contain indoor amenity space and provide access to a proposed rooftop amenity space.

An application for Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act (Chapter 667 of the Municipal Code) has been submitted and will be reviewed concurrently with the Zoning By-law Amendment application.

This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted applications and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the applications and on the community consultation process.

A Final Report and statutory public meeting under the Planning Act to consider these applications is targeted for the second quarter of 2017.  This target assumes that the applicant will provide all required information in a timely manner.
