Proposed Development at 1900 Eglinton Ave E
An Official Plan amendment application was submitted to the City of Toronto to permit the future redevelopment of the subject site into a mixed-use community comprising low-rise, mid-rise and tall buildings — which will serve commercial and residential use. The proposal also includes park and open space uses, and a public/private road network. In July 2020, the developer filed appeals to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) on the lack of decision by City Council on the Official Plan application.
TLC has obtained Party Status at the OLT hearing to protect to ensure development occupancy timing aligns with TDSB’s timing and strategy for providing sufficient local accommodation, including the securing of a site for a future school within the Secondary Plan area.
The proposed development is located in the Golden Mile Secondary Plan Area, which is anticipated to be redeveloped with significant residential and non- residential growth. The TDSB has identified a need for a new elementary school site within the Secondary Plan area to accommodate future student population. TLC has party status as it has an interest in ensuring that the proposed development does not preclude TLC’s ability to develop a TDSB elementary school serving the Golden Mile area.
