As the city filed it

Bloor-Kipling (Six Points) is a group of seven publicly-owned blocks created through the decommissioning of the Six Points Interchange in the Etobicoke Centre. On July 14, 2021, City Council adopted City-initiated amendments to the Etobicoke Zoning Code, Site-specific By-law 1088-2002, and city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended, to permit mixed-use developments on Blocks 1 and 5, and a new park on Block 2 (site specific By-laws 825-2021 and 826-2021).

In 2022, the City selected KT Housing Now Six Points LP as "the Proponent" for the mixed-use Housing Now development at Block 1, located at 5207 Dundas Street West. The Proponent has advanced a detailed architectural program based on principles of the Council-endorsed Bloor-Kipling Block Context Plan. Following Council's direction to direct the City Manager to develop a Housing Action Plan for the 2022-2026 term of Council, staff have advanced this City-initiated application to permit an increase in zoning permissions of 5,750 square metres of residential gross floor area (5,185 square metres based on the current proposal), resulting in an additional 67 units than presented to Council in 2021. The addition of these units will support the project's delivery of 217 new affordable rental units, secured for a 99-year term of affordability through the Housing Now Initiative. This report recommends approval of a City-initiated Zoning By-law Amendment to Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended by By-law 825-2021, to permit the updated development concept for 5207 Dundas Street West (Block 1). The Proponent will remain responsible for continuing work on the active Site Plan Control application, in addition to other obligations related to the provision of new affordable housing. The recommended Zoning By-law Amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms to the Growth Plan (2020), and represents an appropriate form and scale of development.
