Going to Design Review on Feb 9th.
From the applicant:
"1866 Rymal Rd E (Site) is located on the corner of Rymal Rd E and Dakota Blvd. The Site is adjacent to a townhouse development (Summit Park) towards its east and south. Single family homes are the building typology on the north side of Rymal Rd E. Directly across from the Site, an 8-storey residential building is slated for development next year. Across Dakota Blvd to the west, Bishop Ryan Catholic Secondary School is an Institutional use.
The re-development of this property will allow for the construction of an 8-storey mixed-use building containing a retirement home, daycare, and other commercial spaces. The development will provide high-quality retirement living units. The design offers a variety of unit sizes and types ranging from studio to 2-bedroom units. The development includes a large quantity and variety of amenities to residents. The commercial units are located at grade, with the intent of activating the street and providing the neighbourhood with a variety of convenience retail, therefore meeting the intent of the zoning for the Site."
