As the city filed it

This report recommends amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit three residential towers which range in height from 59 to 44-storeys and a minimum non-residential gross floor area of 1,000 square metres at 40 Bushby Drive. The recommended Official Plan Amendment removes the requirement for a public street in the Scarborough Secondary Plan. The recommended Zoning By-law Amendment protects for any outcomes that may emerge from the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) Future Use Initiative.

The site is located across the street from the future Scarborough Centre station, currently under construction. It also contains infrastructure related to the former Line 3 SRT being evaluated under the SRT Future Use Initiative. The City-owned site addressed in this Report is being developed in accordance with the Toronto Builds Policy Framework ("Toronto Builds"), which guides the development of new housing, including affordable housing. Consistent with the Toronto Builds Policy Framework, 20-30% of the residential units are proposed to be affordable and the development will provide a publicly accessible space and non-residential space. The Housing Development Office, in consultation with other City divisions and agencies, will oversee future delivery of the site, including determining the delivery model, securing development partners where appropriate, and advancing the feasibility and detailed design through a future Site Plan Control process.
