Item - 2016.TE20.31

Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  Staff is directed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 57 Brock 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, 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 is given according to the regulations of the Planning Act.

This application proposes to construct a seven-storey building containing 106 residential units. Seventy-three parking spaces will be provided in an above-grade parking structure located at the eastern limit of the property abutting the rail corridor.

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.

City Planning Staff and the community have raised concerns with the applicant during the pre-application process regarding the appropriateness of the proposed height and massing of the building within the context of the neighbourhood. The further processing of the application and public consultation process are recommended in order to give the applicant the opportunity to work with Staff, the community, and the Ward Councillor to address these issues and others that may arise through further review of the application.
