No room, the entire site is barely 5,000ft2, its adjacent to Barbara Hall Park; and its got that hulking proposal @AlbertC referenced to both its south and east.
I don't see any development being feasible here. The ask seems hefty based on going concern business here. I defer to others but wonder what the GRM is on this.

Now this is coming straight from dreamland but it would be great if this building were bought up and donated to the 519 in lieu of the sad space they wanted to carve out for them at that proposal on the NE corner of Church and Wellesley. Probably too hefty a price tag but it's nice to think about haha.

Notice of MotionConsideration Type: ACTIONWard: 13 - Toronto Centre
Attention
* Notice of this Motion has been given.
* This Motion is subject to referral to the Executive Committee. A two-thirds vote is required to waive referral.
Recommendations
Councillor Chris Moise, seconded by Councillor Paul Ainslie, recommends that:1. City Council increase the 2024 Operating Budget for Non-Program by $40,000.00, fully funded by Section 37 (Planning Act Reserve Fund) community benefits from the development at 355 Church Street (Source Account: XR3026-3700687) for the purpose of forwarding funds to the Church-Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area to be utilized for local streetscape improvements in the form of trans flag-coloured pedestrian crossing areas at the intersections of Hayden Street at Church Street and Wood Street at Church Street.
2. City Council direct that the $40,000.00 be forwarded to the Church-Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area, subject to the Business Improvement Area signing an Undertaking governing the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements.
Summary
This motion seeks authorization to amend the approved 2024 Capital Budget of Transportation Services to include additional Section 37 Planning Act Reserve Funds in the amount of $40,000 for streetscape improvements in the form of trans flag-coloured pedestrian crosswalks at the intersections of Hayden Street at Church Street and Wood Street at Church Street.In 2019, the City painted trans flag-coloured pedestrian crossing areas at these locations to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Trans Day of Visibility, the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada, and the Stonewall Riots.
Five years later, utility cuts and other wear and tear due to construction have worn away at the paint. As this year marks the 15th anniversary of the Trans Day of Visibility, the Church-Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area has requested that these crossing areas be redone ahead of Pride 2024.

Would be a great location for a "new Barn/Stables complex." Someone with way more money than me should do this.

Sounds like the Starbucks at Church & Wellesley is changing to takeout only.

Also, perhaps more Cabbagetown than Church & Wellesley, but apparently Chew Chews has closed. Source. This sign is on the door.
