The purpose of this report is to bring forward recommended zoning by-law amendments to implement the Avenue Midtown Transit Station Area policies of Official Plan Amendment 405. The report outlines the process undertaken to arrive at the recommended zoning by-law amendments, including engagement and consultation. OPA 405 requires the areas within the Avenue and Chaplin Midtown Transit Station Areas to achieve a planned minimum of 200 residents and jobs per hectare. This minimum can be achieved as described in this report and as enacted through the recommended zoning by-law amendment. The analysis outlined in this report will , in part, be the basis for engagement and consultation on draft Protected Major Transit Station Areas (PMTSA) delineations for Avenue and Chaplin Stations to be undertaken through the Municipal Comprehensive review and reported on in 2023. Protected Major Transit Station Areas will be delineated for these two station areas in the second half of 2022, following public consultation, and reported out in early 2023. The remaining PMTSAs in the Yonge Eglinton Secondary Plan area (Eglinton, Leaside, Mount Pleasant and Davisville) are being reported out under separate cover as part of a city wide report at the July 5, 2022 Planning and Housing Committee meeting. The recommended zoning by-law amendments are consistent with the Official Plan, Provincial Policy Statement, and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
