We would like your feedback on a revised rezoning application at 2406-2484 Renfrew St. The revised proposal is to allow for the development of a 14-storey mixed-use building with a 15th-floor rooftop amenity space, and a separate six-storey residential building. The two buildings are separated by a central courtyard. The zoning would change from C-1 (Commercial) and RS-1 (Residential) Districts to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. This proposal includes:

  • 179 secured rental housing units

  • Floor space ratio (FSR) of 4.08
  • Net floor area of 13,363 sq. m (143,837 sq. ft.)

  • 123 vehicle parking spaces and 340 bicycle parking spaces

The application is being considered under the Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program.

    According to the developer, the inclusion of a childcare facility in this location was considered during their initial design review.  It became apparent that committing to a childcare facility posed significant challenges both from a design and ongoing safety perspective. They determined that locating this facility at the intersection of Broadway and Renfrew presented several challenges and potential constraints.  Providing a safe child care operation including drop-off/pick up and supervised outdoor space that met all health and safety requirements suitable for children was the primary focus of the review, and why the developer ultimately decided not to include a childcare use, but to seek a range of uses within the proposal instead.
