The site falls within a Protected Major Transit Area (PMTSA) within the City of Markham which is awaiting approval from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The proposal consists of 8 residential buildings with 12 towers ranging from 25 to 50 stories in height (in addition to mid-rise built forms of up to 15 storeys) situated upon podiums ranging from 1 to 6 storeys yielding a total of approximately 5,500 dwelling units. The proposal features 10,100 square metres of non-residential gross floor area and a 1.97-hectare central park. Access to the block is facilitated through a 24.5m wide north-south public road, adjacent to the Pacific Mall lands, connecting Kennedy Road to Steeles Avenue East. Further access within the site is provided through a series of private roads including a secondary connection to Kennedy Road. Because of the subject site's proximity to the municipal boundary, the submission has been circulated to the City of Toronto in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act and a mutually agreed upon protocol to review neighbouring municipalities' planning applications and studies. The report identifies comments from Development Review staff and provides recommendations to protect the City's interests concerning the proposal.
