After a very long, contentious - and somewhat exhausting 2+ hours of public speakers at Scarborough Committee of Adjustment (CoA) today - the CoA has APPROVED the requested variances with a 4-to-1 vote in favour of the development at 80 DALE AVE.
Video time-stamps will be posted in a few days, but in the interim - here is a nice photo of everyone who spoke in SUPPORT of the requested variances celebrating in the Atrium of Scarborough Civic Centre after the hearing..!
Representatives from the land-owner, the non-profit operator, YIMBY groups - and Access-to-Housing organizations all together in one place.

SC32.6 - 66 Dale Avenue - Residential Demolition Application
"The lands at 66 Dale Avenue are subject to a Land Exchange Agreement with the City of Toronto_ The intent or this agreement is to add the 66 Dale lands to the west side of the City's existing parkland parcel, while transferring an equivalent portion of lands on the east side of the parkland parcel to the property known as 80 Dale Avenue. This land exchange enables a more efficient and functional Site plan design for the redevelopment at 80 Dale Avenue.
For context, the Site Plan Application for 80 Dale Avenue has received informal approval from Planning staff, with confirmation that the upcoming submission will be the final submission requiring only minor administrative revisions. It is anticipated that a Draft Site Plan Agreement will be issued within approximately 30 days.
As a condition of the Land Exchange Agreement. 66 Dale Avenue must be brought to "base park condition" and title transferred to the City prior to the issuance of a building permit for 80 Dale Avenue. Achieving base park condition requires the demolition of the existing structure at 66 Dale Avenue, associated grading works, basic park servicing including water, storm. and hydro, and the installation of fencing and sod throughout the site. While the design team is currently preparing the required permit drawings for these works , this process will take several months to complete. In order to maintain project momentum and align with critical milestones, the project team is seeking to undertake the demolition works at 66 Dale Avenue during this interim period.
The 66-80 Dale project has received significant funding commitments from both the City of Toronto and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to deliver affordable housing at 80 Dale Avenue, These funding approvals are time sensitive, and the overall project schedule is advancing accordingly. Proceeding with demolition at this stage is necessary to mitigate schedule risk., maintain compliance with funding conditions. and support the timely delivery of affordable housing."
