Origin
Summary
This application proposes an 8-storey mixed-use building with a total of 53 residential units, 615 m2 of non-residential space at grade, and 41 below-grade parking spaces at 1030 Danforth Avenue.
The City Planning Division is recommending approval of the proposed development based on its location on an Avenue and on its planning and design attributes:
a. the proposed development provides a transition in scale and density as it steps down from the Danforth Avenue mixed use corridor to the low density neighbourhood to the north;
b. the proposed development achieves the City's public realm objectives, including desired sidewalk width on Danforth Avenue; and
c. the site is an appropriate location for intensification. The site is on Danforth Avenue, in close proximity to both Donlands and Greenwood subway stations, and close to retail, service, entertainment facilities, and places of employment.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
