Item - 2021.NY25.4

North York Community Council:

1. Referred the report (April 27, 2021) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District back to staff to work with the applicant and the Ministry of Transportation on a revised proposal for which the number of resident parking spots does not exceed the number of vehicles the Ministry of Transportation will permit exiting onto Bayview Avenue during the morning weekday peak period, together with any other related refinements, and report back to Community Council as soon as possible.

This application proposes to construct a seven storey residential building at 2810 to 2814 Bayview Avenue. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020).

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The proposal represents an appropriate intensification of the site in close proximity to a higher order transit station. The proposed massing provides transition to the lower scaled residential neighbourhood to the west and minimizes the amount of parking provided in recognition of the transit available.
