 Conclusions:

 The initial phase of the Lee Development, known as Hillsborough Court, containing 464 residential units and ground level retail space, has been completed and registered as three separate condominiums. The Hillsborough Court development has helped to create a unique image along Corporate Drive in conjunction with the Consilium development by Tridel. The third tower of this development, known as May Tower, is currently under construction and will continue the urban street edge image of this portion of the City Centre area. Lee Development is requesting Draft Plan of Condominium approval to divide the current project with 11 at grade retail units having common element parking, and 261 residential units having 376 parking spaces.

 The application has been circulated to the City's usual commenting agencies. The responses received to date have been incorporated into the conditions of approval.

This application is similar to the condominium applications for the three previous phases of this development approved by the former Scarborough Council in October 1995. The present applications comply with the City Centre Uses provisions of the Official Plan. The use, number of units and parking spaces comply with the applicable zoning provisions of the Progress Employment District Zoning By-law.
