Amended Application Approved by City

This thread has been silent for the past 2+ years but, obviously, the City and the Developer have been busy behind the scenes.  On March 20th City Council accepted an amended application, the link to which is here:
Agenda Item History - 2024.CC16.15 (toronto.ca)

The first thing that one notices is that 35 Camden Street is now part of the development application … so this blog page has been renamed to 35-47 Camden from its original 39-47 Camden.

What has the City approved?  Here is a summary of modifications from the original application:

• As requested by the City, the Original Site (941 m2 in area) has been extended by adding 35 Camden for a total Site area of 1,152 m2;
• As a result of the enlarged site area, the total GFA has increased from 11.67 FSI/10,990 m2 with 10,625 m of residential GFA and 364 m of non-residential GFA, to 12.23 FSI/14,088 m2 in total with 13,739.5 m2 of residential GFA and 348.8 m2 of non-residential GFA;
• The number of units has also increased from 154 units to 237 units. Please note that the while the final unit count has not been determined at this time, the unit mix will include 15% two-bedroom units and 10% 3-bedroom units;
• The height has slightly increased from 16 storeys (52.15 metres) to 17 storeys (54.65 metres). Note that the overall height to the top of the mechanical penthouse (58.15 metres) has remained the same;
• The setback from the south property line has increased from 4.40 metres to 5.50 metres at Level 2 and above;
• At the request of City Staff, the building has been “notched” in the northeast corner, stepping back for a portion of the northern façade by 2.5 metres above the 5th floor, and then by an additional 3 metres above the 7th floor;
• The stepback along the remainder of the northern façade has decreased slightly from 2.5 metres above the 13th floor to 1.95 metres above the 14th floor;

• The stepback along the western façade has increased from 5.37 metres above Level 15 to 7.40 above Level 17. As a result, the west-facing private terrace on Level 16 has been removed and been relocated as exterior amenity on the mechanical penthouse level;
• The number of parking spaces has increased from 52 spaces (including 11 EVSE parking spaces) to 64 spaces, all of which are now EVSE spaces;
• The loading and vehicle access has been revised to consolidate access from the private laneway adjacent to the site rather than from the adjacent property fronting onto Richmond Street (do they mean Adelaide Street?);
• In order to accommodate the vehicle manoeuvring, the Type G loading space has been revised to a Type B;
• The amount of amenity space has increased with the addition of amenity on the mechanical penthouse level (from 2.15 m2 /unit of indoor amenity and 0.55 m2 unit of outdoor amenity to 2 m2 /unit of indoor amenity and 1.51 m2 /unit of outdoor amenity); and
• 214 long-term bicycle parking spaces (0.9/unit) and 48 short-term bicycle parking spaces (0.2/unit) are being provided, including 33 e-bike spaces within the long-term spaces.

None of this information has yet been entered on the City’s Application Details page related to this site (found via the Supporting Documention link in the sidebar) because the OLT (Ontario Land Tribunal) has yet to sign off at an April 15th hearing.
