The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 6, 2018, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to construct a four-storey residential building containing 41 dwelling units at 485 Logan Avenue. The proposed building would have a gross floor area of 4,184.28 square metres. The overall height of this building is approximately 14 metres (16.7 metres including mechanical penthouse) and the proposed density would be 2.4 times the area of the lot.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017).

The proposal meets Official Plan policy in terms of providing an appropriate built form that is massed, scaled and oriented to be compatible with adjacent properties, particularly properties designated Neighbourhoods. 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
