This report provides status information and identifies a set of key unresolved issues regarding the application located at 2787- 2791 Eglinton Avenue East.

The proposed development would have a total gross floor area of 15,874 square metres and a Floor Space Index of 1.85 times the lot area. A total of 229 vehicular and 138 bicycle parking spaces; and 1 Type-G loading space would be provided to service the proposed development. Detailed project information on the October 2018 revised submission is found on the City's Application Information Centre at: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/application-information-centre/ The original application was submitted on April 9, 2018, and City Planning staff brought forward a Request for Interim Directions Report, to Scarborough Community Council on July 7, 2018. Staff outlined why the development was not supportable as it did not demonstrate how it would fit into the planned context and vision for Avenues in accordance with the City's Official Plan. Planning staff advised that the proposed development was not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and does not conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). Subsequently, at the July 27, 2018, City Council meeting, City staff were directed to "bring forward a final report to the first Community Council meeting of 2019 considering the proposed townhouse development as reflected on the applicant's plans dated April 2018 and also considering the City's Townhouse and Low-rise Apartment Guidelines ". It was determined together with the applicant that the extent of changes required were significant and therefore a report could not be brought forward to the first Community Council meeting of 2019. The applicant agreed to continue working with City staff to further revise the proposal to further bring the application in compliance with the City's Townhouse and Low-rise Apartment Guidelines, as directed by Council. To date, the applicant has submitted two revised proposals, however a number of key issues remain unresolved. As such, Planning staff were unable to bring forward a Final Report with the associated draft zoning by-laws due to the level of uncertainty with the proposal.

Staff recommended
