Proposal for rezoning related to maintaining the existing 13 story building that consists of 177 hotel units and restaurant and constructing a 45 story l tower and building podium which will contain 451 residential units

The applicant proposes to construct a 50-storey building consisting of a 9-storey podium and a 41-storey tower at 308-314 Jarvis Street and 225 Mutual Street. The proposal contains 590 units, five of which are townhouse units fronting onto Mutual Street. Five levels of below grade parking are proposed. The heritage property is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and is protected by a Heritage Easement Agreement. It is proposed that the rear section and basement foundation of the existing heritage house be demolished and the home moved to allow construction of a below grade garage and then relocated to the south on the same lot. Heritage staff have evaluated the proposal and do not support the proposed
movement of the heritage building as it would constitute an unnecessary negative impact on a valuable heritage resource.

The proposal represents over-development of the site and would have a negative impact on another significant heritage resource, Allan Gardens, which is a significant cultural heritage landscape that is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proposed building does not transition to the neighborhood designation, creating unsupportable shadow and over look issues.

At a high level, the project team is developing plans for a 150, 000 to 200,000 square foot indoor/outdoor multi-use facility. The facility would be built to the highest accessibility and environmental standards, increase passive parkland, and build much needed turf space creating inclusive sport and recreational facilities. The opportunity to redevelop The John Innes Community Centre, Moss Park Arena and Moss Park for The 519 Sport and Recreation Project 4 project will allow for the renewal of much needed sport and recreation infrastructure in the community.
