The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:

1.  Staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 117-127 Broadway Avenue together with the Ward Councillor.

2.  Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site.

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

This application proposes two 34- and 35-storey residential towers with a 5- and 7-storey podium base linked by a 16-storey base building at 117-127 Broadway Avenue. The proposed development is comprised of 1,036 dwelling units, including 131 replacement rental units. 376 parking spaces are proposed in a 3-level underground garage.  In addition, an application has been filed under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act for the demolition of 131 rental units existing on site.  Despite the large site area, as currently contemplated, the proposal represents overdevelopment.

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

Next steps include a community consultation meeting which has yet to be scheduled.  A final report is targeted for the third quarter of 2016, provided that the applicant provides all required information in a timely manner.
