Settlement Agreement & Community Benefits: 48 Avondale
City Legal Staff accepted a settlement offer from the developer at 48 Avondale after a legal battle at the OLT. The offer was officially accepted at City Council on May 10th 2023.
Currently, I am working with the Developers to try and get community amenities that would benefit the current surrounding neighbourhood and future residents. Specifically, I am requesting that the developer put commercial property on the ground floor at the corner of Bales Ave and Glendora Ave, and potentially put a daycare or other community amenity at the corner of Tradewind Ave and Avondale Ave.
I think that we should be building 15 minute walkable communities where residents can get their immediate necessities in their neighborhoods. That means that when the City approves development proposals, it is important to plan and think ahead about what people will need when they move into Willowdale. I think that part of building an accessible and walkable neighbourhood is zoning for ample commercial properties (groceries, dance classes, offices, restaurants, etc.) and community amenities like daycares.
Highlights from the settlement offer:
New park at the corner of Tradewind and Avondale (834 sqm)
5.50m setback on the southeast corner of the development accommodates a pedestrian connection on Avondale to the new park
3.44m to allow for road widening on Avondale Ave
