3. City Council authorizes the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

4. Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, the owner shall be required to:

a. submit a revised Functional Servicing Report and Stormwater Management Report to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; and,

 
b. enter into a financially secured agreement for the construction of any improvements to the municipal infrastructure, should it be determined that upgrades and road improvements are required to support the development, according to the functional servicing report accepted by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on July 4, 2018, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes an 8-storey (27.5 metre, including mechanical penthouse) residential building at 2639 Dundas Street West.  The proposed development includes 107 units. Forty seven vehicle parking spaces and 192 bicycle parking spaces will be provided within a two-level underground parking garage accessed from Dundas Street West.

The proposal is consistent with the pattern and scale of redevelopment along Dundas Street West and represents appropriate intensification on an Avenue.  The massing of the building is consistent with the performance standards in the Mid-Rise Building Study, including transition and stepping down of heights to lower-scale residential Neighbourhoods.

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