LAND USE DESIGNATION
According to the City of Toronto Official Plan, the Property lies within a designated

home occupations, cultural and recreational facilities and small-scale retail, service

centres, libraries, day nurseries and private home daycare, seniors and nursing
homes and long-term care facilities, public transit facilities, utility and
telecommunications installations, and public services and facilities provided by the
local, provincial and federal governments.
Development in established Neighborhoods will respect and reinforce the existing
physical character of the neighborhood, including in particular:
• Patterns of streets, blocks and lanes, parks and public building sites;
• Size and configuration of lots;
• Heights, massing, scale and dwelling type of nearby residential
properties;
• Prevailing building type(s);
• Setbacks of buildings from the street or streets;
• Prevailing patterns of rear and side yard setbacks and landscaped
open space;
• Continuation of special landscape or built-form features that
