Kayra Holdings has submitted a Site Plan Approval application to the City of Toronto for a site at 3089 Danforth Avenue in the Oakridge neighbourhood of Scarborough. As the proposal is within the allowed zoning, no Zoning By-law Amendment is required for this CariCari Lee Architects-designed 7-storey apartment building with a commercial space at grade. The site is situated on the south side of Danforth Avenue, east of Victoria Park Avenue. The City would benefit from a 3.5m widening of Danforth Avenue and a 1.17m road widening of the rear laneway.
The proposed development would replace:
- a lot with surface car storage (3089 Danforth Ave)
- 2-storey semi-detached dwellings with commercial uses at grade (3093 Danforth Avenue and 3095 Danforth Avenue)
Surrounding the site;
- immediately to the west is a 4-storey mixed-use building (Aboriginal Housing Support Center)
- immediately to the east is a 2-storey semi-detached dwelling
- further to the west and east are various low-rise commercial buildings
- immediately south is a City-owned laneway, and an approved upcoming development: 15 3-storey townhomes (39-45 Thora Ave)
- low-rise neighbourhoods to the north and south of Danforth Avenue with 1-2 storey semi-detached and detached houses
The total gross floor area of the development would be 2,928m² with a floor space index of 4.0. The residential gross floor area would be 2,803m² and the commercial gross floor area would be 125m². There would be 30 residential units, with 13 one-bedrooms (43%), 4 one-bedrooms plus den (13%), 8 two-bedrooms (27%), 4 two-bedrooms plus den (13%), and 1 three-bedrooms (4%).
The building design features two separate entrances for the residential and commercial areas on the front of the building.
The proposal would have indoor and outdoor amenity spaces on the 7th floor and the roof. The total proposed indoor amenity space is 65m² and the total proposed outdoor amenity space is 66m². Parking access is from the rear laneway. The building would have 21 spaces within a parking stacker system, and would have 22 bicycle spaces.
The site is a 5-minute walk to Victoria Park Station and an 18-minute walk to the Danforth GO Station. Several TTC bus routes travel along Danforth Ave to Main Station, while other TTC bus routes travel north-south along Victoria Park Ave to Victoria Park Station.
