Vehicular access to the subject site is proposed along Sheppard Avenue West via a 6 metre wide two-way driveway. The Official Plan Amendment proposes to amend the Sheppard Lansing Secondary Plan to permit a density of 2.97 times the lots area and a height of 7 storeys. The Zoning By-law Amendment will bring the site into City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit the proposed residential building and put in place appropriate development standards for the site. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The proposed development is in keeping with the objectives of the Sheppard Lansing Secondary Plan by framing and supporting Sheppard Avenue West with low- to mid-rise built form, providing appropriate transition to adjacent neighborhoods and animating the public realm with appropriately massed built form and an attractive streetscape with greening and pedestrian amenity.
