The intent is to ensure that the frontages and grade-related uses on these streets are active, contain non-residential gross floor area and animate the street frontage through high-quality design. The recommended zoning amendments to both the former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86 and City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 implement the Downtown Plan. The recommended zoning by-law amendments to By-law 438-86 aligns the streets where the Priority Retail Street designation applies with the additions made in the Downtown Plan, updates the list of uses considered to be street-related, and adds a new design standard pertaining to glazing. The existing design standards in By-law 438-86 are maintained. The recommended zoning by-law amendments to By-law 569-2013 would integrate the Priority Retail Street requirements into the By-law by creating a Priority Retail Street Overlay in Chapter 600.
