DA UpDAte: 114-120 Cary St

HCC Regional Planning Panel decision on 114-120 Cary Street DA

On 11/12/19 community presentations were made to the Hunter Central Coast Joint Regional Planning Panel opposing the multi-storey development at 114-120 Cary Street. 

Suzanne Pritchard spoke on behalf of CPPA and TASNG. The panel rejected the DA on multiple grounds. Many of the issues raised resonating with the Bath St debacle and included:
  • In its current form would not be in the public interest
  • Proposed height and visual impact was inappropriate and contrary to local planning objectives of the area
  • Inconsistent with the objectives of the Toronto Town Centre Plan
  • Potential environmental effects on the adjacent SEPP14 Wetland had not been considered and addressed
  • Inadequate setbacks and building separation from adjoining property
  • Inadequately addressed acoustic and odour impacts from McDonalds
  • Inadequately addresses traffic impacts on surrounding streets and other local users
  • Didn’t address the pedestrian issues associated with the narrow width of Arnott Avenue
  • Didn’t meet visitor parking requirements
