St. Clair Avenue West (Keele/Weston to Scarlett) Land Use and Avenue Study |
|
|
|
St. Clair Avenue West between Keele/Weston and Scarlett Road has been an area in transition over the past two decades. It is currently a mix of remaining meat packing industries, newer residential developments, large scale retail establishments, traditional main-street commercial and automotive uses.
The purpose of the first phase of the study is to examine the existing employment base, Official Plan designations and zoning and to recommend any changes to the land use regime. The second phase of the study will look at creating a design framework for new development on sites where growth is to be anticipated and encouraged and improvements to the area that should accompany that growth.
The City Planning Division is co-ordinating the study and has retained a consortium of consultants led by GHK International.
