Manor Park Management is proposing to develop the subject lands with two (2) residential buildings: a nine (9) storey, mid-rise apartment building on the larger, triangle-shaped parcel known as 1151 Teron Road and a three (3) storey low-rise apartment building on the smaller, rectangle parcel known as 1131 Teron Road. A total of 134 dwelling units are proposed, divided as follows:
The nine (9) storey apartment building will contain 116 dwelling units:
- 28 one (1) bedroom units;
- 40 one (1) bedroom + den units;
- 36 two (2) bedroom units;
- 11 two (2) bedroom + den units; and,
- One (1) three (3) bedroom unit.
The three (3) storey apartment building will contain 18 dwelling units:
- One (1) one (1) bedroom unit;
- Seven (7) one (1) bedroom + den units;
- Five (5) two (2) bedroom units; and,
- Five (5) two (2) bedroom + den units.
Full-movement vehicular access to both residential buildings will be provided via a driveway connection to Teron Road. Unlike the previous mixed-use version of the project, access to March Road is no longer contemplated. March Road access was mainly requested for the benefit of the at-grade commercial uses. As discussed in the Parsons Transportation Study, the Teron Road access is sufficient for the projected vehicle volumes and movements of the residential project.
Parking for the proposed development is proposed to be provided in the form of a mix of surface parking (99 spaces) within the area of the Hydro corridor adjacent to the proposed nine (9) storey building and an underground parking garage (100 spaces), accessible via a ramp adjacent to the three (3) storey building. A total of 199 parking spaces will be provided, 172 of which will be for residents and 27 of which will be for visitors.
The underground parking garage will also provide secure bicycle parking spaces for the proposed development’s residents. Additional bicycle parking spaces will be located outdoors, near the entrances to both buildings.
Additional, passive at-grade communal recreational space will be provided on the north portion of the subject lands between the parking lot and March Road, in the form of soft landscaping and a pathway connecting to an existing pedestrian pathway east of the subject lands.
The following is a summary of the most significant revisions to the proposed development and associated plans:
- The massing of the nine (9) storey building has been revised, simplified and scaled back along Teron Road and the previously-approved staggered floorplate sizes have been normalized for better unit layouts. The building steps back after the ground floor to the seventh storey, followed by a further step-back at the ninth storey. The nine (9) storey building continues to comply with the permitted building height measured in metres on Schedule 327 of the Zoning By-law, which establishes the permitted building form on the subject lands. The three (3) storey building is also in compliance with Schedule 327 of the Zoning By-law.
- Ground floor commercial uses are no longer proposed as part of the nine (9) storey building. As a result, the proposed development will be exclusively residential, with at-grade, street-fronting units.
- Vehicle access to and from March Road is no longer proposed. As a result, vehicular access to the proposed development will be exclusively via Teron Road. The March Road access was mainly requested for the benefit of the at-grade commercial uses.
- The removal of previously proposed visitor spaces adjacent to the low-rise apartment building will result in a longer, uninterrupted driveway throat length.
- From a timing perspective, the proposed development is to be built out in one (1) phase, whereas the subject lands were previously proposed to be developed in two (2) phases.
- The previously proposed unit count was 139 total dwelling units, whereas the revised unit count will consist of 134 dwelling units, as a result of additional larger units.
- Due to the slight reduction in dwelling units and the elimination of ground floor commercial uses, the required minimum vehicle parking is now much lower. Combined with a larger underground parking garage than was previously proposed, the proposed surface parking will be reduced from 183 spaces to 99 spaces. The reduction of surface parking allows for more landscaped areas along March Road.
- The ramp to the parking garage is proposed to be located to the rear of the low-rise building at 1131 Teron Road, whereas it was previously proposed to be located at the base of the mid-rise building at 1151 Teron Road. The revised ramp location contributes to a more efficient below-grade parking layout.
