Summary

The rezoning application was submitted on July 17, 2006 and is therefore not subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.  The Official Plan Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications were submitted after this date and are subject to these Acts.

 

The proposal for 470 Sentinel Road and 1, 35 and 40 Fountainhead Road is to permit 1,035 new residential units in 8 condominium apartment buildings with heights ranging from 6 to 12 storeys.  The proposal also includes a new public road connecting the west end of Fountainhead Road to Finch Avenue.  The four existing 22 storey rental apartment buildings on the lands will be maintained and upgraded.

 

The proposal also includes the construction of a new private indoor recreational centre for the existing rental buildings, a 66 space child care facility, 93 m2 of commercial space, a financial contribution of $700,000 to be used towards the construction of an artificial ice rink at Fountainhead Park and a financial contribution of a maximum of $1 million to the City’s Capital Revolving Fund for Affordable Housing.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and for Draft Plan of Subdivision.
