824 Sheppard Avenue West, 177, 179 and 181 Cocksfield Avenue - Zoning Amendment and Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion Application - Decision Report - Approval

May 23, 2024
Description

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to change the deployment of the approved density for a 12-storey (44.95 metre inclusive of mechanical) mixed use building, with minor changes to the height and setbacks. The Zoning By-law amendment also proposes to remove the 'rental' tenure term and provides more details with regards to the unit mix of the 15 rental replacement units from Schedule A of By-law 320-2022, which was part of the approval of the Rental Housing application (20 205924 NNY 06 RH). The existing Holding provision will be retained. The resulting overall gross floor area is 20,268 square metres including 328 residential units and 445 square metres of non-residential space. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The zoning by-law amendment conforms with the Sheppard West / Dublin Secondary Plan to encourage a diversity of office, commercial, institutional and residential uses along Sheppard Avenue West while protecting the adjacent lower-density residential area. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan and the Site and Area Specific Policy 22. It is also generally consistent with the original approved Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment approved by Council in 2022 maintaining a 12-storey building that provides vehicle access off of Sheppard Avenue West. The original Section 37 contribution remains the same. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
