2010-2016 Bathurst Street - Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment - Final Report

A total of 40 vehicular parking spaces are proposed within 3 levels of underground parking. Entry to the underground garage is proposed at the southwest corner of the building from the adjacent substandard public laneway which is required to be widened by 1.06 metres. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) as it provides a density and a mix of land uses which efficiently use land and resources. It is also transit-supportive being in close proximity to the future Eglinton LRT station at Bathurst Street and Eglinton Avenue West. The proposal conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) as it provides for an appropriate type and scale of development that provides an acceptable transition of built form to adjacent areas. The proposed building is to be located and massed to provide a transition to neighbouring properties through appropriate setbacks and stepping down of height toward the Neighbourhoods and to adequately limit shadow impacts on those adjacent lower scale residential areas.
