Isn't this a bit backwards?

Normally we see the Zoning application first; if it isn't submitted concurrent to the SPA (site plan)

It's possible that during the review of the SPA application, the City got back to them and said "you need a ZBA for what you're asking for, actually, the minor previous minor variance wasn't enough" (and/or they are now proposing to put in a larger development than they were before).

I wonder if this is the first 'test run' of a rezoning / SPA under Eglinton Connects? Perhaps, as @interchange42 notes above, was too much to fit into that permissible box and Old Stonehenge needed to go back in with a more substantial application.

The Vision

Introducing a new mixed-use building in the growing Eglinton West community.

We are working on a new vision for 2116 Eglinton Avenue West, and we want to share it with you.

2116 Eglinton Avenue is an excellent opportunity to provide more housing in a growing neighbourhood along a corridor with new rapid transit expansion. We’re proposing to redevelop the site with a 9-storey mixed-use building: creating 101 new residential units and activating the street level with small-scale retail.

Guiding Principles

New Housing Options

The new building would add a range of housing unit sizes to a growing neighbourhood, and includes 7 micro retail units that promotes the location of small-scale, local business.

Enhancing Retail Experience

Both the micro retail units and the 134 square-metre retail space planned for the south-west corner of the building would help to extend the mixed-use character of Eglinton Avenue west of Fairbank Village and provide local residents with walkable amenities.

Transit-Oriented Development

The proposal is looking forward to the mass transit opportunities under construction along Eglinton Avenue. When the Crosstown LRT is complete in 2022, Caledonia Station will be a 5-6 minute walk away. It will also be the site for a new future GO station along the Barrie Line, anticipated to be completed in 2023, and will provide the community with efficient service throughout the region.

The Proposal

· 9-storey mixed-use building

· 101 new residential units

o 4% Bachelor

o 62% 1-bedroom

o 19% 2-bedroom

o 15% 3-bedroom

· 21 car parking spaces

· 2 car-share parking spaces

· 107 bicycle parking spaces

· Approximately 825 ft2 of indoor amenity space

· Approximately 3,000 ft2 of outdoor amenity space

· Approximately 4,300 ft2 of retail space
