The corner of Ellesmere and Midland may have a lot more going for it if three applications currently under consideration get approved.
Submitted by the
Goldman Group and
Monarch Group for a plot of industrial-zoned land owned by Goldman Ellesmere Developments Inc., the application to amend the zoning bylaw, the plan of subdivision and the site plan approval, all submitted in February, are geared to make way for 162 new townhouses of up to thee storeys.
The corner lot will, if things go according to the developer's plan, also include a new series of public streets and lanes to accommodate the townhomes.
One application they didn't have to submit was to amend the official plan. According to city planner Carly Bowman, who takes care of central Scarborough, "it's zoned mixed use, and mixed use contemplates the type of use that's proposed." If they get approval, and the development ends up being successful, we can expect other density intensifying projects to move into this still fairly sparse part of the city.
