968 O'Connor Drive - Zoning Amendment Application - Final Report

103 below-grade vehicular parking spaces would be provided in a three-level underground parking garage. The residential component is proposed to have condominium tenure. The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). It is consistent with the Mixed Use Areas and Avenues policies of the City of Toronto Official Plan, generally complies with the City's Avenues and Midrise Building Guidelines, and appropriately accounts for its proximity to nearby industrial uses. A site-specific Class 4 designation is recommended at this property pursuant to applicable MOECC Guideline NPC-300, as described later in the report. The proposal is also consistent with Site and Area Specific Policy 400, which provides an area-specific development framework for the O'Connor Drive Avenue Study Area, where the subject property forms part of a "Main Streets Area". It represents an appropriate and desirable redevelopment of a vacant lot that is compatible with its surrounding context, meets the intent of the Official Plan, and will contribute to the vision of O'Connor Drive becoming a vibrant urban corridor that provides opportunities for people to live, work and shop. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the applicable zoning by-laws, subject to conditions that should be satisfied prior to introducing the necessary bills to City Council for enactment.
