Item - 2016.TE19.38

The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:

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

2.  Further community consultation be undertaken, upon submission of a revised proposal, in consultation with the Ward Councillor.

A development proposal has been submitted for the redevelopment of an entire City block bounded by Queen Street East, Mutual, Shuter and Dalhousie Street. Phase 1 of the development proposal (being the northern portion of the block) is presently being reviewed under Site Plan Control and is the subject of a Minor Variance application.

This Zoning Amendment application applies to the Phase 2 portions of the development, being the mid and southern portions of the block as identified on the key map. 

The Zoning Amendment application, Phase 2, proposes three mixed-use towers separated or interspaced by a Park, Privately Owned Publicly accessible space (POPS) and a pedestrian mews. The three towers, two of which are linked by sky bridges, would be 57, 29, & 33 storeys. A total of 1,181 residential units and 103 hotel rooms are proposed. There would be 91,564 m² of residential and 10,781 m² of non- residential gross floor area; the total gross floor area would be 102,345 m².

This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted application and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the applications and on the community consultation process. A community consultation meeting was held June 22, 2016 prior to filing. Staff anticipate submitting a final report on the application to Community Council in the second quarter of 2017. This target date assumes that the applicant will provide all required information in a timely manner.
