Origin
Summary
This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the lands at 33 Laird Drive to permit the redevelopment of and addition to an existing two-storey building listed on the City of Toronto Heritage Register, and the construction of a new two-storey building. A total of 6,400 sqaure metres of commercial floor area is proposed, including office, retail, restaurant, fitness, personal service, and financial institution uses. The proposed density for the site is 0.71 times the lot area.
This application proposes the restoration and reuse of a listed heritage building, as well as the construction of a new building, both of which would house non-residential uses that are appropriate for the local employment area, and would serve the greater community.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
