Proposal details
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is consulting on a municipal-endorsed request for a Minister’s Zoning Order.
A Minister’s Zoning Order, made pursuant to clause 47(1)(a) of the Planning Act, regulates the use of land and the erection, location and use of any building or structure on the land.
The Ministry is in receipt of a request for a Minister’s Zoning Order to facilitate the conversion of an area of employment to a mixed-use residential development at 65 Rexdale Boulevard in the City of Toronto.
The Subject Lands are approximately 1.2 hectares and are located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Rexdale Boulevard and Vetiver Drive. The Subject Lands contain a 2-storey building and a surface parking lot and are currently occupied by the International Muslim Organization of Toronto.
If made, the requested Minister’s Zoning Order would permit:
- a purpose-built mosque and community centre
- a 9-storey mid-rise residential building, including a minimum of 220 purpose-built rental units.
To help ensure decisions are made in a transparent manner and support government priorities, the Ministry is seeking feedback on whether this request should be considered and any additional information that may help inform a decision.
