The Etobicoke York Community Council commenced a statutory public meeting on May 17, 2021 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend both the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code and City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to permit a multi-building, mixed-use development including a 1,700 m2 public park fronting Eglinton Avenue West, a 659 m2 privately-owned publicly-accessible open space (POPS) abutting the public park, and a 465 m2 community agency space 250 Wincott Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West.

The proposed development consists of an 11-storey mixed-building (Building C) located at the southeast corner of the site, a 13-storey building (Building B) immediately north of the proposed public park, and a 13-storey building (Building A) located to the northwest of the proposed private street. The existing retail plaza (Building D) is to remain and a 8.6 m wide addition is proposed at the east end of the building.

The total gross floor area of the proposed development is 65,237 m2, of which 11,038 m2 would be non-residential gross floor area, 53,734 m2 would be residential and 465 m2 would be community agency space.
