The proposed building would have a height of 173.7 metres including the mechanical penthouse. The proposal includes one below grade level for loading, bicycle parking and mechanical rooms. The Official Plan Amendment (OPA) proposes to amend provisions in Official Plan Amendment 82 (OPA 82) to permit the proposed public square to be located on the south-west portion of the site (instead of the south-east). Additionally, the OPA would permit the proposed massing and setbacks whereas OPA 82 defines towers and has provisions related to the massing and setbacks for towers and podiums. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with the A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) and conforms to the City's Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The proposed development is in keeping with the intent of the Toronto Official Plan, particularly as it relates to the provision of a mixed use Institutional development including classroom space, a student residence as well as a POPS and retail space. Staff worked with the applicant and the community to address and resolve massing issues as well as an appropriate size and location for the proposed POPS.
