The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. Staff be directed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 2494 Danforth 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 be given according to the regulations of the Planning Act.

Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment applications have been submitted for 2494 Danforth Avenue, to permit a 10-storey mixed use building and a 4-storey rental apartment building.  The site is located on the north side of Danforth Avenue west of Main Street.  The existing Shoppers Drug Mart store and associated medical building at 2494 Danforth Avenue is proposed to be demolished.

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.

It is intended that a community consultation meeting be scheduled in consultation with the Ward Councillor.  A Final Report and Public Meeting under the Planning Act is targeted for the 1st quarter of 2019 provided all required information is submitted by the applicant in a timely manner.
