Yay....going up for approval @ Toronto and East York Community Council on June/25 2019
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the A Place to Growth Plan (2019).
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposal is consistent with the relevant policies of the Official Plan. The proposal represents a new Leed Gold office building within the extension of the Financial District to Southcore that is accessible to public transit, improves the public realm and provides for an extension to the PATH system.
And also:
4. Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, require the owner to enter into an Agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act as follows:
i. A cash contribution of $850,000.00, prior to the issuance of the above-grade building permit, to be used towards the provision of affordable housing in Ward 13;
ii. A cash contribution of $850,000.00, prior to the issuance of the above-grade building permit, to be used towards capital repairs to existing Toronto Community Housing buildings in Ward 13;
iii. A cash contribution of $6,800,000.00, prior to the issuance of the above-grade building permit, for:
a. Community Services and Facilities within Ward 10, which may include the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal; and/or
b. Local parkland improvements and/or public realm improvements in Ward 10, which may include improvements to the City owned lands north of 30 Bay Street and Lake Shore Boulevard West pedestrian improvements and/or PATH improvements along the Bay Street corridor; and
iv. Provide a public art contribution in accordance with the City of Toronto's Percent for Public Art Program.
And here, from the report, is a description of some of the public realm components:
Public Realm Improvements
As part of the development, the applicant has agreed to eliminate the existing right hand
turn lane on Bay Street, providing for an increased sidewalk width on Bay Street. This
lane is no longer required as its sole purpose is to provide access to the surface parking
lot currently existing on the property.
The applicant is also proposing to provide for improvement to the area at the north of
the site adjacent to Lake Shore Boulevard West and under the Gardiner Expressway
and the Jarvis Street off-ramp from the Gardiner Expressway. The final design of this
area will be determined and secured as part of the Site Plan Approval.
