Final Report - Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications - 2270-2280, 2296 Eglinton Avenue West, 6 Sanderstead Avenue and 9 Croham Road

Two levels of below grade parking would accommodate 86 vehicular spaces along with 149 bicycle parking spaces. The subject property presently consists of an irregular front lot line along Eglinton Avenue West. A 40.8 square metres portion of the lands will be required to be conveyed to the City of Toronto for road widening proposes. The design of the proposed building will also require the applicant to purchase a 33.4 square metre portion of the Eglinton Avenue West road allowance from the City of Toronto. A stub portion of roadway that exists in front of the proposed development that presently permits a westbound right turn from Eglinton Avenue West onto northbound Croham Road is also proposed to be closed but will remain in City of Toronto ownership. The former roadway and boulevard is proposed to be improved and utilized as a public plaza with pedestrian amenities. This public plaza would be located just east of the public access to the Caledonia LRT/GO Transit Station at 2400 Eglinton Avenue West which is currently under construction. To the north of the subject property a rear two-way publicly accessible private laneway would provide access to 2 at-grade visitor parking spaces, as well as to enclosed ground floor bicycle parking and a shared commercial and residential loading area. The lane would also provide access to the below grade parking levels. The proposed laneway would occupy the 2 lots known as 9 Croham Road and 6 Sanderstead Avenue, and the two existing residential dwellings would be demolished. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-laws. The proposal represents an appropriate built form for a mixed use building and provides for an appropriate transition from Mixed Use Areas to Neighbourhoods. The proposal implements the setback and streetscape requirements of the Eglinton Crosstown Plan.
