774, 776, 778, 780 and 782 Marlee Avenue - Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-Law Amendment - Preliminary Report

Substantial revisions are required to the proposed development to address a number of matters raised in this report, including but not limited to suitability of the site size to accommodate the proposed building, and setbacks and separation distances consistent with the Tall Building Guidelines. Further, the proposed tower development is proposed to be located within the Neighbourhood designation and does not conform to the City of Toronto Official Plan policies which direct for low rise development up to 4-storeys. Appropriate rationale is required to address the suitability of the proposed development in the Neighbourhoods designation. To advance the application, appropriate setbacks and separation distances will need to be proposed. The application has been circulated to all appropriate City divisions and public agencies for comment. City Planning staff will proceed to schedule a Community Consultation Meeting for the applications, in consultation with the Ward Councillor.
