Item - 2018.EY29.8

Etobicoke York Community Council:

1.  Directed staff to schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 1045-1049 The Queensway together with the Ward Councillor.

2.  Directed that Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 500 metres of the site, and expanded in consultation with the Ward Councillor, 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 to amend the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code and Site Specific By-law No. 514-2003 to permit a 12-storey (38.2 m in height, excluding mechanical equipment) mixed-use building containing 310 residential units at 1045-1049 The Queensway. The development would have a total gross floor area of 25,946 m2, including 504 m2 of retail space at grade. A total of 212 vehicular parking spaces and 233 bicycle parking spaces are proposed.

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 to be 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 in the first quarter of 2019, once Etobicoke York Community Council reconvenes following the election.
