The City has received a Zoning By-law Amendment application for 1930 - 1938 Bloor St W and 3, 5 & 21 Quebec Ave. The application proposes a 17-storey mixed-use building containing 144 residential units (including 12 rental replacement units), retail on the ground floor, 159 bicycle parking spaces, and 63 vehicle parking spaces. As a result, City Planning staff scheduled a virtual Community Consultation Meeting for the evening of Tuesday, April 30th at 6pm.

The Community Consultation Meeting on May 15th will consist of presentations by City Planning followed by a Q&A session. You will have opportunity to view the proposal and share your thoughts. Councillor Perks, and City Planning staff will be in attendance to help answer any questions that may arise.
