41 Wabash Avenue - Zoning Amendment - Final Report
This application proposes to construct a fourth-storey addition and a four-storey rear addition to the existing three-storey warehouse building at 41 Wabash Avenue. Fifteen residential units, each with a dedicated parking space, are proposed in the application to amend the property's industrial zoning classification to residential. The abutting Charles G. Williams park will be expanded along its eastern property line through a required on-site parkland dedication. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposal represents a scale of development that is consistent with the surrounding low-scaled built form character of the surrounding Neighbourhoods-designated area. Incorporating the existing warehouse building into the proposal will help to maintain the industrial history and sense of place of this part of the City. The proposed change in use from industrial will reinforce the residential use prevailing in the surrounding area.

City of Toronto By-law 969-2005 was enacted on November 24, 2005 and designates the property at 158 Sterling Road under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act which contains the heritage building known as the Northern Aluminum Company Building (1920), and the legal description currently includes the neighbouring properties at 20 Perth Avenue and 150,150R, and 164 Sterling Road. The property at 158 Sterling Road was legally severed into three parcels, one of which is identified as 158 Sterling Road, another as 150, 150R, and 164 Sterling Road, and one other as 20 Perth Avenue by notice of decision issued October 13, 2015 and June 15, 2016.

It is necessary to partially repeal the by-law to remove the properties located at 20 Perth Avenue and 150,150R, and 164 Sterling Road, which do not contain the heritage building. The portion of the site described as Parts 8 and 9 on R-Plan 66R-28991 and Part 1 on R-Plan 66R-29927 will be removed from the legal description and these portions of the Property will be deleted from the Heritage Register.

The heritage attributes will be the same as those described in the Heritage Easement Agreement registered on December 20, 2016 as Instrument Number AT4439164.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1.
