DA-1835/2016 151 Brighton Avenue TORONTO: Mixed Use Development Including Shop and 44 Residential Units: Submissions due 9/12/16

Eighteen concerned residents attended the CPPA November meeting to discuss the issues which have been detailed in a letter to Council and summarized in a flyer, both available on the CPPA website for downloading and sending in by 9/12/16

Some of the issues are:

The proposed development is adjacent to the foreshore at the extremity of the Toronto business area surrounded by low - medium density residences where foreshore building heights are 1- 2 storey single dwellings (Hirecraft marina area). This development is out of context with the foreshore development in Toronto and more broadly across the City. It sets a dangerous precedent for 4-storey developments on the foreshore.

The Local Centre zoning (B2) on which this development is situated is intended to support a range of retail and business uses, this development is primarily a residential complex with 34m2of commercial tenancy. The objectives of the B2 zone are not being met by this proposal. To the contrary the development will be utilising the public reserves for amenity and public parking for overflow without contributing any of the desired objectives of the B2 zoning.

The Toronto Recreational Land Plan identified the area as a major park expansion and playground extension. The outcomes of this planning document have not been finalised and the intent of LMCC to have this area as a community asset is worthy of consideration to achieve community outcomes.
