DECISION HISTORY
The lands subject of this “H” zoning removal application (Blocks 1 and 2), represent Phase 3 of a 7-Phase development for the entire site known as the former GeneralElectric site located at the southwest corner of Davenport Road and Lansdowne Avenue. Phase 1 of the development was approved on January 27, 2005, by the Ontario Municipal Board. The approvals included amendments to the former City of Toronto Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the development of 212 stacked condominium townhouse units and the conversion of an existing building (Building 15) to office uses. The Phase 1 lands are located on the northerly 4.9 acre portion of the site.
Phase 2 of the site development was approved by City Council on December 7, 2005 to permit the conversion of the existing building located at the northeast corner of the site, known as Building 13, to provide for 104 dwelling and/or live-work units. The Phase 2 development was permitted, prior to resolution of the Secondary Plan for the undeveloped balance of the lands. Both Phase 1 and 2 are now complete.
On July 27, 2006, City Council approved the Davenport Village Secondary Plan and adopted site-specific Zoning By-law 728-2006 for the remainder of the site.
