This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit an eleven storey mixed-use building containing 9,863 square metres of residential gross floor area (159 residential units) and 418 square metres of retail gross floor area at-grade at 1650, 1660, and 1664 Dupont Street and 3 Osler Street. The massing will step down to eight and six storeys at the rear, abutting adjacent Neighbourhoods. The 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 proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends refusal of the Official Plan Amendment application and a modified approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment application, with a holding provision. Staff have determined that the Official Plan Amendment is not required to implement the Zoning By-law Amendment application. The proposal is intended to be a mass-timber construction and staff's recommended modifications to the proposed development balances the need for additional housing in a form that appropriately responds to the existing and planned context and better supports performance measures of the Toronto Green Standard. The holding provision is proposed until such time as engineering and infrastructure matters and technical reports have been finalized to address servicing, noise impacts, and the lifting of a one foot reserve that bisects the site.
