This application proposes to amend city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 and former City of North York By-law 7625 for the lands at 4500 Jane Street. The proposed zoning would permit two six-storey mid-rise buildings fronting onto Gosford Boulevard and retain the existing 14-storey rental apartment building. The proposal is a positive example of compatible and sensitive infill development in Apartment Neighbourhoods. At the ground level the proposed building is well articulated and massed along Gosford Boulevard. Generous setbacks allow for a double row of trees on Gosford Boulevard and Milo Park Gate, offering a greener setting for existing and future residents. The recommended building heights of 20 metres respond to the right-of-way width of Gosford Boulevard and is reflective of a mid-rise built form typology that has appropriate regard for the Avenues and Mid-rise Buildings Study and Performance Standards (“Mid-rise Guidelines”). The infill development proposal also offers improvements to the existing apartment building and site conditions. These improvements will help to extend the life of the existing rental apartment building, promote environmental sustainability, and contribute to a high quality urban environment and residential amenities.
