Buildings being designated under Heritage Act

1/2/2022

0 Comments

 
If you are wondering about this development and its inclusion of heritage-worthy properties, here are documents from the City Clerk giving notice that the City intends to designate both 141 Bathurst and 579 Richmond West as properties of cultural heritage value or interest.  
The intent of the notice is alert parties should they wish to object ... but the documents also make good reading and are included here:
  • 141 Bathurst
  • 579 Richmond West

Major changes to the original application

1/1/2022

0 Comments

 
Back in 2018 and 2019, a proposal for this property resulted in a mediated settlement as it wound its way through 
​Re-zoning application #16 191733 STE 20 OZ and OMB case #​PL170294.

​​Now we have a more ambitious proposal which incorporates these properties:
141 BATHURST ST
149 BATHURST ST
151 BATHURST ST
153 BATHURST ST
155 BATHURST ST
157 BATHURST ST
159 BATHURST ST
161 BATHURST ST
591 RICHMOND ST W
589 RICHMOND ST W
579 RICHMOND ST W
... with a phase II for 555 RICHMOND ST W

And City Council adopts this item during its July 23, 2018 session

9/13/2018

1 Comment

 
City Council authorize the City Solicitor and the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District to prepare and present a settlement, to be presented to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal jointly with the applicant, based on the following:
  • a maximum height of 50 metres including mechanical penthouse
  • a loading space configuration to require vehicles to exit the site in a forward motion, without the need for a reversing motion from the loading space into the public lane
  • a door on the servicing/loading area to help contain sound
  • the Construction Management Plan to include vibration monitoring for the integrity of surrounding buildings
  • the 3rd storey outdoor amenity terrace to include a landscaped buffer so that residents cannot get up to the edge and throw cigarette butts into neighbouring back yards

Green Light from City Planning

7/5/2018

Destined for an LPAT hearing (under the old OMB rules) on September 24th, the developer made the following adjustments to the application:

Toronto and East York Community Council approved the modified proposal at its July 4th meeting (click for Staff Report).  Participants, asking what happens next, have been told that:
​The applicant will advise the LPAT of the settlement offer and therefore the 2 week hearing scheduled to begin in September will be adjusted to a one-day settlement hearing.  At the settlement hearing, the applicant will be required to provide planning evidence in support of the settlement and all registered parties/participants will also be given the chance to speak (in support or opposition of the settlement).

It appears that lawyers for one party (Allied Properties) might well speak in opposition (click for letter):
Our client remains opposed to this application and request that Toronto East York Community Council refuse the staff report or, in the alternative, to send this matter back to staff for further consideration with respect to an appropriate setback from the public lane.
