Origin
Summary
This application by QuadReal Properties Group proposes to amend the Official Plan, Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan, and the Zoning By-law to increase the permitted height and density at 2901 Bayview Avenue and 630 Sheppard Avenue East. The proposed amendments would facilitate the development of three mixed-use buildings (6 – 19 storeys) and a retail expansion to the existing shopping centre in the north area of the site, two mixed-use buildings (28 and 33 storeys) connected by an eight storey podium in the south area of the site, and a five level parking garage internal to the site.
This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted application and seeks Community Council direction on further processing of the application and on the community consultation process.
A final report and public meeting under the Planning Act will be scheduled following community consultation and the resolution of outstanding issues, provided the applicant provides all required information in a timely manner.
