The Midtown Zoning Review is one of three core initiatives to implement the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 405, also known as "OPA 405"), collectively known as "Ready, Set, Midtown". The other initiatives are the Midtown Infrastructure Implementation Strategy (MIIS) and the Midtown Parks and Public Realm Strategy. The Midtown Zoning Review is intended to implement the policies of OPA 405 via permissions in zoning.

The purpose of this report is to bring forward recommended zoning by-law amendments to implement policies of OPA 405 for lands designated Neighbourhoods "A", a portion of low-rise Apartment Neighbourhoods and a portion of Parks and Open Space Areas - Parks. Most of these lands fall within a Council-adopted Major Transit Station Area, which sets a minimum floor space index for the lands. The report outlines the process undertaken to arrive at the recommended zoning by-law amendments, including engagement and consultation. The recommended zoning by-law amendments permit, as-of-right, a variety of low-rise housing on lands planned for low-rise intensification, along with parks zoning for lands planned to be future parks. The recommended zoning by-law amendments are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and with the Official Plan.
