City of Toronto Official Plan Amendment No. 540
1540-1550 Bloor Street West, Toronto
ERO No.: 019-5936
Ministry Reference No.: 20-OP-221476

We are the planning consultants to Timbertrin (Bloor/Dundas) Inc., the owners of the properties municipally known as 1540-1550 Bloor Street West in the City of Toronto (the “subject site”). We are writing to request that the Minister modify OPA 540 by increasing the minimum density for the subject site in Site and Area Specific Policies 654 and 655 from 2.0 FSI to 7.0 FSI.

A minimum density of 7.0 FSI would better reflect the recent OLT approval of the site-specific rezoning (permitting up to 9.78 FSI), the site’s location within immediate walking distance of two existing higher order transit stations, and the broader provincial policy directions which speak to the optimization of land and infrastructure and maximizing the number of potential transit users within walking distance of a station.

Please see the attached letter for further details.
