On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report provides an update on the Provincial Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) program. It also includes preliminary planning comments, outstanding issues, opportunities to secure City priorities, and a summary of feedback received by the City and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) through a public engagement process for the Gerrard Carlaw North TOC. IO has partnered with Choice REIT for the delivery of a TOC proposal on the northeast corner of Gerrard Avenue and Carlaw Avenue (herein referred to as 'Gerrard Carlaw North') related to the Ontario Line Gerrard-Carlaw Station.

The proposal, at 425-471 Carlaw Avenue, includes a mixed-use podium building with three tower elements at 30, 35 and 40 storeys. The proposal would also provide a public park, a Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS), and a new public street. The TOC falls within the study area for the Council-directed Gerrard-Carlaw Planning Study. The study was initiated prior to the TOC being announced, but the study scope has been adjusted to allow for these two projects to proceed concurrently. Opportunities for shared consultation and consideration of this TOC are being explored, with a focus on its connection to the surrounding existing and emerging context. A complete communities approach guides City Planning in consideration of both the TOC and the study.
