​The City has received a Zoning By-law Amendment application at 8-18 Camden Street. The proposal is to permit a 19-storey mixed-use building containing 185 residential units and 308 square metres of retail space. With the recent changes in the legislation from Bill 109, application review timelines have shortened, but we want to ensure community engagement is not hindered due to that. We are currently in the process of scheduling the community consultation meeting (virtual) for September 5, 2023 from 6-7:30pm.

A final recommendation report, targeted for September 19, 2023 Toronto East-York Community Council, has since been cancelled.

I do see old demolition permits. This web tool can show where building permits and demolition permits have been applied for, but I find it is not very helpful on the details:
https://secure.toronto.ca/ApplicationStatus/setup.do?action=init.

A landowner can demolish a non-residential building as-of-right in Toronto, which means the demolition permits are practically automatically issued by staff as long as basic requirements are met. There is no circulation of the information to the local councillor or any opportunity to weigh in on it. But there are exceptions, including heritage protection. The HCD is supposed to stop any "Contributing" heritage buildings from being lost in this way.

From the web tool, it looks like the demolition application was submitted in 2016, before the HCD came into effect, and generally Provincial legislation doesn’t allow for heritage and planning protections to be applied retroactively.
