The application proposes vehicular access via Vickers Road and a total of 321 vehicle parking spaces (of which 9 parking spaces would be barrier free) located at-grade and within a 2-level underground parking garage. In addition, parking for 238 trailers is proposed around the periphery of the site. Two phases of development are proposed to allow for continuous business operations. The three existing industrial buildings on the site would be progressively demolished through each phase of the construction process. The proposed new facility would accommodate approximately 600 employees once fully operational. This application has been deemed Gold Star (enhanced service to focus development review and expedite high impact investment/job creation projects within the City). It should also be noted that this site is subject to an application under the Planning Act for Site Plan Control Approval (File Number 18 124927 WET 05 SA). An application in this regard was submitted on March 5, 2018. The submission materials have been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City Divisions and reviewed concurrently with this Zoning By-law Amendment application. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with both the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017) and the City of Toronto Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code and repeal Site Specific By-law No. 1082-2014 (OMB). Staff are of the opinion the proposed development is appropriate in this location.
