2619 - 2621 Bayview Avenue and 6 Heathcote Avenue - Zoning By-law Amendment - Decision Report - Approval

Vehicular access would be provided from Heathcote Avenue. The townhouse blocks are proposed to front onto Bayview Avenue and the single detached dwelling is proposed to front onto Heathcote Avenue. The existing three single-detached houses on the site would be demolished. The entire site, including both townhouse blocks and the single-detached dwelling, would have a total floor space index ("FSI") of 1.05 and a gross floor area ("GFA") of 3,301 square metres. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The application represents appropriate infill development that expands housing choices on a major street. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposal provides for appropriate townhouse infill development along a major street and a single-detached dwelling which is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. The proposal conforms to the City of Toronto's Official Plan and meets the intent of the Bayview Townhouse Design Guidelines.
