The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, with the support of the City, approved the redevelopment of the 24 hectare (60 acre) property in the northwest quadrant of Eglinton Avenue East and Don Mills Road to allow for a mixed-use, transit-supportive community called Crosstown (formerly Celestica Inc.). The approval includes a gross floor area of 460,640 square metres consisting of: 387,150 square metres of residential uses, including affordable ownership and rental housing, approximately 60,000 square metres of office uses, and 11,000 square metres of commercial and retail uses.

Community uses have also been secured, including a City-owned child care facility and 2.5 hectares of parkland, which includes land to accommodate a community recreation centre. There are 4,982 residential units approved in three to four storey townhouses, eight to ten storey midrise buildings, and 27 to 48 storey tall buildings. The office uses will be located in two buildings of eight and nine storeys in height, situated closest to Don Mills Road. Celestica Inc. is proposing to relocate their corporate headquarters into the nine storey office building at the corner of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East. Retail uses will be focused along the Don Mills Road frontage and along a new publicly accessible Private Street B, interior to the site. The redevelopment was approved to take place in a number of phases with the first phase consisting of the nine-storey office building at the corner of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East, 1,604 residential dwelling units (129,450 square metres) in the form of three residential tall building, three midrise buildings, stacked townhouses, street townhouses, and a public park at the south end of the site adjacent to Eglinton Avenue East. The owner is now seeking revisions to the approved Zoning By-law Amendment No. 1214-2019 (LPAT), draft plan of subdivision, and conditions of draft plan approval to allow for the office development and public plaza on Blocks 1A and 1B to proceed in advance of the balance of Phase 1. The applicant seeks to make these changes by way of Section 35 of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Act, which allows the Tribunal to review, rescind, or vary any decision or order made by it in accordance with the rules. The purpose of this report is to request instructions for the owner's request pursuant to Section 35 of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Act. The City Solicitor requires direction on this matter in litigation.
