2575 Pharmacy Avenue and Part of 100 Sprucewood Court - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Decision Report - Approval

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). It also conforms with applicable Official Plan policies. The proposed new tower and place of worship building are appropriately scaled for the site and surrounding area. The proposed new residential building would provide adequate separation and privacy from the existing tower to the east. It would also provide an appropriate mix of unit sizes including larger size residential units suitable for families. Lastly, the proposal would include substantive improvements to the public realm and provide a range of uses within the Finch-Warden Revitalization Area. This report also recommends that a holding provision ("H") be included in the proposed Zoning By-law, and be kept in place until such time that the owner has resolved sanitary and storm sewer servicing issues. This includes the potential acquisition of lands potentially necessary to implement a servicing solution to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services.
