20 Brentcliffe Road and 100 Vanderhoof Avenue; Council to consider staff recommendation to approve 32-storey mixed-use tower with 383 units and affordable rental housing

City staff recommend approval of a rezoning and Official Plan amendment to permit a 32-storey mixed-use building with 383 residential units, six affordable rental units, and ground-floor retail near the Yonge and Eglinton area. The proposal would consolidate two existing parcels and includes parkland dedication. Council will decide whether to accept the staff recommendation.

Why is this story here?

Big deal at city hallA zoning amendment and Official Plan modification that consolidates two parcels and establishes a permanent 32-storey height limit closes options for future councils regarding this site and sets area precedent. Hard to reverse without significant cost and political capital. The amendment modifies two area-specific policy suites.Touches a narrow groupThe proposal affects this specific site and immediate neighbours. The site is near transit (Yonge and Eglinton) but the day-to-day effect is localized to the area; most Toronto residents do not pass through or live at this intersection. The residential density and affordability outcome matter sharply to those in the ward, but not broadly across the city today.
