City Council to consider Official Plan Amendment for Leslie Street site mixed-use development

City Council will vote on an Official Plan Amendment to transform the Leslie Street employment site into a mixed-use transit-oriented community near the new Eglinton Crosstown LRT station. The study, initiated in summer 2025, recommends residential and non-residential uses, heritage protection, new park space, and street connections. North York Community Council previously referred the item back to staff for further consultation with property owners.

Why is this story here?
Big deal at city hallAn Official Plan Amendment is hard to reverse and affects the future of a multi-hectare site, shaping what can be built and in what mix for decades. It changes control of the land's use direction and constrains what a future council can permit on this site.Touches a narrow groupThe Leslie Site is a specific location in North York. Its transformation affects property owners, adjacent residents, and future users of the site, but does not touch the daily life of most Toronto residents. The effect is bounded geographically and deferred pending actual development approvals.
