The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:

1.  Staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 48-58 Scollard Street and 1315-1325 Bay Street, which includes the provision of light refreshments and, when required, childcare and accessibility resources including sign language interpretation at the sole cost of the applicant, together with the Ward Councillor.
 
2.  Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site, and to additional residents, institutions and owners to be determined in consultation with the Ward Councillor, with any additional mailing costs to be borne by the applicant.
 

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

This application proposes a new 43-storey (158 metres, including mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building with commercial and retail uses on the first four floors and residential uses above at 48-58 Scollard Street and 1315-1325 Bay Street. A total of 112 residential units, 132 resident parking spaces and 151 bicycle parking spaces are proposed. One of five listed heritage buildings on the site would be demolished and the remaining four heritage buildings would be altered, moved and integrated into the proposed development.

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.

The next step is to hold a community consultation meeting in the first quarter of 2016 where the community can review the application, provide comments, and ask questions of City staff and the applicant.

A final report is anticipated in the third quarter of 2016 assuming the applicant will provide all required information in a timely manner.
