On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report recommends City Council endorse a Planning Framework for the Bloor Street Study: St. Helen's Avenue to Perth Avenue, to be used to inform a future Official Plan Amendment (OPA) or Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) and to evaluate current and future development applications. The Planning Framework includes a vision for a diverse, complete, and connected community that: integrates properties identified as having potential cultural heritage value into plans for its future; provides a co-ordinated public realm network for new and enhanced parks, open spaces and connections; outlines the urban structure and built form of the identified character areas; and identifies emerging needs related to community services and facilities (CS and F).

The Planning Framework complements the policies of the Official Plan, will guide the creation of a future OPA or SASP, and is intended to provide clarity related to the appropriate locations for built form and public realm improvements. The Planning Framework also begins to identify the infrastructure and CS and F needs required to support growth as the area continues to intensify. A community consultation work program formed part of the Bloor Street Study: St. Helen's Avenue to Perth Avenue, that saw a variety of input and feedback from the local community, the local Councillor, stakeholders, and other City Divisions. The guiding principles that make up the Planning Framework are intended to direct growth to occur in a well-planned and coordinated manner.
