This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit seven townhouse units fronting Bayview Avenue and two detached houses to the rear of the site fronting onto a shared private north-south driveway. The townhouses are separated into two blocks of three units on the north side and four units on the south side of the site. The townhouses are proposed to be three storeys and the detached houses would be two storeys in height.

Vehicular access to the townhouse rear integral garages and the front integral garages of the detached houses is proposed from a shared private east-west driveway off Bayview Avenue. The proposed floor space index is 0.80 times the area of the lot and the proposed lot coverage is 45%. The existing detached house at 2535 Bayview Avenue and the Armenian Emmanuel Church of the Nazarene at 2537 Bayview Avenue would be demolished. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposal provides for two detached dwellings which are compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood and provides for appropriate townhouse infill development along a major street. The proposal conforms to the City of Toronto's Official Plan and meets the intent of the Bayview Townhouse Design Guidelines. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-laws.
