Summary |
This application was made after January 1, 2007 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
This application proposes to amend the L’Amoreaux Community Zoning By-law No. 12466 of the former City of Scarborough in order to permit a 14 storey apartment building (condominium) with 141 apartment dwelling units, two integrated townhouse units and grade-related retail floor space fronting Sheppard Avenue East. Four levels of underground parking are proposed. Right-in and right-out only driveway access is proposed from both Sheppard Avenue East and Pharmacy Avenue.
The development proposes an appropriate level of intensification at the intersection of two major streets, Sheppard Avenue East and Pharmacy Avenue. Sheppard Avenue East will benefit from an improved level of transit service once the Sheppard Avenue East Light Rail Transit (LRT) is operable. An LRT stop is proposed in close proximity to the site. The proposed height, density and scale of the development are appropriate for the site and local area.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the zoning by-law, including the requirement for community benefits in return for the increased height and density, pursuant to the provisions of Section 37 of the Planning Act. |
