Have Your Say On
New, Bigger Proposal for 500 Sheppard Ave. East
A new applicant at this site is proposing a much larger
project than what was previously negotiated between the
City and the applicant as a settlement of an appeal at
the Ontario Municipal Board. The previous approval was
for a 25-storey residential tower and a 9-storey office
building. As an indication of how emboldened developers
are by changes made by the provincial government in
2019, a new applicant is asking for two buildings of 39
and 34 storeys on top of a 4-9-storey podium.
The proposed development would contain 928 residential
units. It is likely that this development will be
appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal, the
provincially-appointed body which has the final say over
all controversial development proposals which frequently
ignores the wishes of your elected City Council or the
views of the community or of the City's professional
Planning staff .
If you'd like more information on this proposal, or to
comment, you are invited to attend a
June 6 community consultation meeting, starting at 7
p.m.
To join, visit the City of Toronto's community planning
consultation website here: http://www.toronto.ca/cpconsultations .
If unable to attend, contact our office at councillor_filion@toronto.ca or

Avenue East, visit the website Development
Applications (toronto.ca). |
