On the agenda

As the city filed it

City Council directed City Planning on June 26, 2018 (NY31.8), in consultation with the appropriate City Divisions, to review the existing policies contained within the Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan between Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street to analyze the existing and planned built form context. City Planning initiated the review on existing and planned land use, City infrastructure, such as community services, sewer capacity, and parkland.

That review has prompted staff to determine that a more fulsome Study of the corridor (Bayview Avenue to Leslie Street) is necessary, that will expand upon clarifying, refining and/or strengthening the density and height limitations. The expanded review will now look at the area as a whole in order to provide recommendations to inform planning policy that would establish a planning and infrastructure framework to accommodate prescribed population and job growth around the Subway stations, address transportation and servicing capacity issues and create a plan for a complete, mixed use and vibrant community.
