Planning
The LRA is actively involved in proposals for high-rises around Bayview and Eglinton, including one atop Leaside Station, pictured above. This month, there are (so far) three important community consultation meetings – all virtual. They include: 1779-1787 Bayview (35 storeys above Leaside station), 589-595 Eglinton Ave E (35 storeys), 2-20 Glazebrook (34 storeys), and 1840 Bayview (34 storeys).
If you have views on these proposals, please attend the meeting(s) below and express yourself. The LRA believes that a framework plan for these developments is urgently needed.
Site-specific Community Meetings
Wednesday, March 1, 6 - 8 p.m. (virtual)
- 6 - 7 p.m. Discussion of 1779-1787 Bayview Avenue (SE corner of Bayview & Eglinton, including demolition of several quadplexes - pictured above), an application that proposes a 35-storey mixed-use building, containing a total of 373 dwelling units and 541 square metres of retail use. The development is proposed to have a total gross floor area of 27,846 square metres, resulting in a density of 8.83 times the area of the lot.
NOTE: The application includes both the Leaside station site AND the two four-unit apartment houses (quadraplexes or quads) at 1783-85 and 1779-81 Bayview. While the northernmost quad at 1783-85 Bayview is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, 1779-81 Bayview is not. And without designation of 1779-81 Bayview the remaining quads may be in jeopardy.
- 7 - 8 p.m. Discussion of 589-595 Eglinton Avenue East and 61-67 Mann Avenue, an application that proposes a 35-storey mixed-use building, containing a total of 389 residential units and 60 square metres of retail use. The proposed development has a total gross floor area of 26,598 m2, resulting in a density of 13.42 times the area of the lot.
Tuesday, March 7, 6 - 8 p.m. (virtual)
- Discussion of 1840 Bayview (Esso station). The City of Toronto Planning Division has received an application to amend the City of Toronto Zoning By-law. The application at 1840 Bayview Avenue proposes a 34-storey mixed-use building with 377 units and 202 square metres of ground floor retail fronting onto Bayview Avenue. The development would have a total gross floor area of 24,305 square metres with a density of 14.75 times the size of the lot.
Thursday, March 9, 6 - 8 p.m. (virtual)
- Discussion of 2-20 Glazebrook. The City of Toronto Planning Division has received an application to amend the City of Toronto Zoning By-law. The application at 2-20 Glazebrook Avenue proposes a 34-storey residential and commercial mixed-use building. There are 434 residential units proposed with 314 square metres of retail. The total gross floor area of the project is 29,600 square metres with a density of 13.78 times the area of the lot.
