The application to amend the Zoning By-law applies to 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33 and 35 Henning Avenue. It proposes development standards to implement the proposed building which would be 25,490 square metres, containing 390 dwelling units, and 45 vehicular parking spaces in a 1.5 level below-grade parking structure for the properties. The proposed Floor space index is also 15.14 times the lot area. The proposed development is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and does not conform with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposal is not consistent with the Official Plan and the Yonge Eglinton Secondary Plan (YESP). This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, particularly as it relates to the intensity of the proposed development, transition to the existing and planned context, provision of adequate amenity space, lack of visitor parking, inadequate soil volumes and servicing upgrade requirements.
