Preliminary Report - Zoning By-law Amendment and Plan of Subdivision Applications - 1 to 3 Concorde Gate and 10 to 12 Concorde Place

Overall, the application proposes a total of 4,086 dwelling units, 307,004 square metres of residential space, 841 square metres of retail space, and 437 square metres of community space. The overall gross floor area proposed is 308,284 square metres, which results in an overall density of 9.95 for the lands. A Plan of Subdivision application has been submitted as the proposal includes two new public parks located at the north and south ends of the site, fronting onto Concorde Place, which will have a combined area of 3,690 square metres. Additionally, a new L-shaped public street is proposed to bisect the 10-12 Concorde Place property in a north-south direction. Staff recommend that a Focused Area Study be undertaken for the area bounded by the Don Valley Parkway to the west, the CPR rail to the north, Eglinton Avenue East to the south, and the Charles Sauriol Conservation Area to the east, as a result of the significant scale of development proposals in the area. The local area study would develop a planning framework, including a set of policies to guide development for a complete community, which supports the Mixed Use Areas, Apartment Neighbourhoods and Natural Areas designations. Staff are currently reviewing the applications. The applications have been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Staff will proceed to schedule a virtual community consultation meeting for the applications in consultation with the Ward Councillor.

3. Staff undertake a Focused Area Study of the area bound by the Don Valley Parkway to the west, the CPR rail to the north, Eglinton Avenue East to the south, and the Charles Sauriol Conservation Area to the east. 4. Direct staff to review the applications concurrently and within the context of the Focused Area Study.
