2450 Victoria Park Avenue - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Request for Directions

The proposed total gross floor area is 96,405 square metres, which results in a proposed density of 4.99 times the area of the lot. A total of 1,266 vehicle parking spaces and 952 bicycle parking spaces are proposed. A new 2,915 square metre on-site public park and two new east-west private roads are also proposed as part of the application. The existing seven-storey (7,755 square metres) office building on the lands is also proposed to be demolished. The applicant also proposed that a Class 4 noise area classification be applied to the proposed development, as set out in the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change's Environmental Noise Guideline - Stationary and Transportation Sources (NPC-300) as the site is in proximity to stationary noise sources such as the Enbridge head office located opposite the site, on the north side of Consumers Road, which operates under an existing Environmental Compliance Approval for the air cooled condenser units, exhaust fans, and cooling towers on site. On March 23, 2018, the applicant appealed their proposal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") due to Council's failure to make a decision within the statutory timeframe. The purpose of this report is to request further instructions for the fifteen-day LPAT hearing that is scheduled to commence August 10, 2020. City Planning has been involved in the preparation of this report.

3. City Council direct that all other information contained in Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (June 23, 2020) from the City Solicitor is to remain confidential at the discretion of the City Solicitor, as it contains advice which is subject to solicitor-client privilege.
