60-storey mixed-use building at Yonge and Lola, with public laneway closure and parkland dedication
Staff recommends approval of a 15-storey, 274-unit rental building at 2010-2050 Yonge Street with ground-floor commercial space. The project requires permanent closure of a City-owned public laneway that currently serves the site and an adjacent property, plus an off-site parkland contribution. A holding provision ties zoning approval to the laneway closure and land acquisition processes.

From the floor
“The one thing that I want to highlight for this application is the number of public realm benefits including the new pops connection between the bidbach connection and young as well as a new midw connection between Davisville Avenue and Milward Road. In addition, I wanted to highlight the fact that the applicant will be contributing to the construction of the new midblock connection as a part of the section 37 benefits and that this is an entirely rental building project.”Bowfields, the planner for the applicant
The journey
Decision
Staff recommendation approved; zoning by-law amendment carries. The holding provision will remain in place pending City Council passage of a by-law to close the public laneway, acquisition of laneway lands by the proponent, and satisfaction of all associated requirements.
