The proposal would have a Floor Space Index of 7.73 and a total of 996 residential units. The application also proposes a total of 533 vehicular and 973 bicycle parking spaces. A new east-west private street and a new public street along the eastern edge of the site are proposed. Staff are currently reviewing the application. It has been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Given the significant scale and size of this application, its adjacency to the Guildwood GO Station and Neighbourhoods to the east, City staff have determined that a Planning Study should be undertaken to update the existing Planning Framework to appropriately and concurrently review the proposed development. As such, staff have recommended a more extensive community engagement process that will inform the planning and design for the site and its surrounding context. This process will be initiated and led by the City. Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application and the Planning Study, in consultation with the Ward Councillor. The cost of the Planning Study and the associated community consultation will be borne by the Owner of the subject property.
