Item - 2018.EY28.7

Etobicoke York Community Council:

1.  Directed staff to schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 1978 to 2002 Lake Shore Boulevard West together with the Ward Councillor.

2.  Directed that Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents as laid out on the map attached to motion 1 moved by Councillor Doucette, with the additional cost to be borne by the applicant.

3.  Directed that Notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act be given according to the regulations of the Planning Act.

This application proposes a mixed use building at 1978 to 2002 Lake Shore Boulevard West, the north-west corner of Windermere Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard West.  The proposal includes two residential towers of 21 and 26 storeys (73.5 and 88.5 metres in height respectively, including mechanical penthouse) integrated with a base building that ranges from 1 to 3 storeys in height then steps to 6 and 7 storeys between the towers.  There are 607 proposed residential units with 988 m2 of non-residential (retail) floor area proposed at grade.  Vehicular access is proposed both from Windermere Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard West to access internalized loading at grade and resident parking in 5 levels below grade.  There are 526 spaces of vehicular parking and 608 bicycle parking spaces proposed.  The applicant owns the subject site up to 65 metres in height with the City of Toronto owning the air rights above.

This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted application and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the application and on the community consultation process.

A community consultation meeting scheduled by staff in consultation with the Ward Councillor is intended to be held in the second quarter of 2018. In a non-election year, a Final Report and statutory public meeting under the Planning Act to consider this application would be targeted for the fourth quarter of 2018 (this target assumes the applicant would provide all required information in a timely manner). However, it is anticipated that the statutory public meeting under the Planning Act will be held when Etobicoke York Community Council reconvenes after the election break.
