SCHEDULE 1  
35: MIMICO-JUDSON SECONDARY PLAN  
1. VISION  
The Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan ("the Secondary Plan Area") is located in South  
Etobicoke, north of the Metrolinx Rail Corridor and is bisected by Royal York Road as  
illustrated on Map 35-1. The Secondary Plan Area is comprised of two distinct subareas:  
The Judson Area west of Royal York Road, and the Mimico Triangle Area east of Royal  
York Road.  
The Secondary Plan Area is within and at the eastern edge of the South Etobicoke  
Employment Area and has supported employment uses for a number of years. The rail  
corridor has been a structural feature as residential neighbourhoods were developed on  
lands surrounding the Secondary Plan Area north of Judson Street and Portland Street and  
south of the rail corridor. The Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility is a major  
transportation facility operated by Metrolinx immediately south of the Judson Area and is  
integral to the delivery of regional transit service in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton  
Area.  
As part of the 2013 Municipal Comprehensive Review of employment lands, City Council  
designated the Mimico-Judson area as Regeneration Areas and identified it as being in  
need of revitalization. The Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan is the result of a Regeneration  
Area study completed for the area. This Secondary Plan provides a development  
framework for continued and expanded employment opportunities as well as targeted  
opportunities to introduce residential uses.  
In addition to the policies contained herein, additional policies and maps for Blocks A1,  
A2, A3, C, D and E are contained within Site and Area Specific Policies XXXX, XXXX,  
and XXXX.  
The policies contained within this Secondary Plan are based on four guiding principles.  
i.  
Retain and expand business through land use certainty and flexible mixed use  
regeneration  
The Secondary Plan continues to protect the area's economic function by providing  
land use certainty for businesses that wish to continue their operations in the area  
and requiring that all new development in Mixed Use Areas include an  
employment component either on-site or within the same block. The Mimico  
Village Business Improvement Area also plays an important role in the local  
economy that should be enhanced and reinforced through the policies of this  
Secondary Plan.  
ii.  
Unlock underutilized lands for transit supportive mixed use development  
Intensifying both residential and employment uses in the Mimico Triangle Area  
within walking distance of the Mimico GO Station leverages the investment in  
transit infrastructure to balance transportation choices for new residents and  
employees.  
iii.  
Protect and support existing operations and future expansion opportunities  
at the Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility  
The Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility plays - and will continue to play - a  
crucial role in Metrolinx's future plans to expand GO Train service throughout the  
Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Requiring employment uses lands adjacent  
to the yard provides for a land use separation as a form of mitigation from impacts  
that may be generated by this rail yard.  
iv.  
Foster a connected and complete community  
This Secondary Plan provides policy guidance to achieve a complete community  
where people will live, work and undertake activities of daily life within walking  
distance to higher order transit. The proposed Newcastle Extension and Mimico-  
Judson Greenway are significant components of this Secondary Plan and will  
achieve improved access to the Mimico GO Station and connectivity across Royal  
York Road for pedestrians and cyclists. These improvements provide important  
infrastructure to connect and integrate the Secondary Plan Area with nearby  
communities.  
Policies  
1.1  
To ensure that the Secondary Plan Area remains a viable place for businesses  
to locate and operate, a minimum Gross Floor Area of employment uses is required in  
all new development within Mixed Use Areas. The minimum amount will be determined  
based on the proposed building type as a function of Floor Space Index (FSI), in  
accordance with Policy 3.3.  
1.2  
The Secondary Plan supports the Vision as expressed by the Structure Plan  
illustrated on Map 35-2. The Structure Plan consists of Community Anchors and  
Connectors (listed below a) to h)). The anchors are fixed elements that any plans for  
change need to consider and strengthen; whereas the connectors provide physical  
links between places that are not directly connected to each other.  
CONNECTORS:  
a)  
Newcastle Extension: a street extension that runs along the rail  
corridor and expands the street network and improves mobility towards  
the Mimico GO Station.  
b)  
between Ourland Park and Grand Avenue Park.  
c) Pedestrian / Cyclist Overpass: a pedestrian and cycling  
overpass that will provide safe and direct access over Royal York Road.  
d) Pedestrian/Cyclist Connection: a pedestrian and/or cycling  
Mimico-Judson Greenway: a pedestrian and cycling connection  
tunnel or bridge to provide access across the rail corridor from the  
Mimico GO Station to Manchester Street.  
ANCHORS:  
e)  
Christ Church Cemetery and Coronation Park: two existing  
green spaces that form part of the open space network.  
f)  
g)  
h)  
Mimico GO Station: a focal point for commuters.  
Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility.

institutional and other employment uses may be permitted subject to  
development criteria, including the requirement that employment uses must be  
built prior to any residential use and that 100% of residential units be family  
sized units, with the exception of 29 Judson Street, which must provide a  
minimum of 15% two bedroom units. A family sized unit is a dwelling unit with  
a minimum of 2 bedrooms and a minimum of 110 square metres of gross floor  
area or a dwelling unit with 3 bedrooms or more.  
2.  
LAND USE  
The land use strategy for the Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan provides a framework for  
employment and residential uses to achieve a balance between compatible land uses that  
creates a dynamic place to live, work, learn and play.

ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION  
The economic revitalization strategy builds on the extensive work undertaken as part of  
the Municipal Comprehensive Review of employment lands and provides area specific  
policies that are intended to attract new investment and retain existing businesses within  
the Secondary Plan Area.  
Policies  
3.1  
Development will be consistent with the vision of revitalizing the Secondary Plan  
Area's economic function and promoting new employment opportunities, while  
protecting existing business operations.  
3.2  
The development of vacant lands and the adaptive reuse of buildings for  
employment purposes are strongly encouraged.  
Business Expansion and Retention  
3.3  
Development of residential uses on lands within Blocks designated Mixed Use  
Areas will require the provision of a minimum gross floor area of non-residential uses  
that support the economic function of the Secondary Plan Area, based on the type of  
building proposed as follows:  
a)  
b)  
c)  
0.50 FSI for tall buildings (greater than 12-storeys);  
0.45 FSI for mid-rise buildings (5 to 12-storeys); and  
0.15 FSI for townhouses or low rise buildings (up to and including 4-  
storeys).  
3.4  
The minimum required gross floor area of non-residential uses that support the  
economic function of the Secondary Plan Area shall be built prior to, or concurrent with,  
the associated new residential development, except for Block "F" where employment  
uses must be built prior to any residential uses.  
3.5  
New development that includes more than one building within a Block is to  
provide the minimum required gross floor area of non-residential uses that support the  
economic function of the Secondary Plan Area in one or more buildings.  
3.6  
Office uses and other commercial uses that are not retail based are strongly  
encouraged within new developments.  
4.  
PUBLIC REALM  
The public realm is made up of streets, parks and other publicly owned and publicly  
accessible private lands. Sunlight and wind conditions are important elements of a  
comfortable public realm. The public realm policies support a number of key place  
making objectives and create opportunities to connect important destinations internal and  
external to the Secondary Plan Area. The Newcastle Extension and Mimico-Judson  
Greenway are major components of the public realm and play a large role in achieving  
several goals of this Secondary Plan.  
Policies  
4.1  
The structure of the Public Realm is shown on the Public Realm Structure Plan  
illustrated as Map 35-4.  
Newcastle Extension  
4.2  
The Newcastle Extension is a key connector that will extend Newcastle Street  
from its existing terminus at Audley Street to connect to Portland Street.  
4.3  
The Newcastle Extension will have a right-of-way width of 25 metres and will  
run parallel to, and be wholly located within, the required setback from the rail corridor.  
The right-of-way will be complemented by an above grade building setback of 3 metres  
from the Newcastle Extension.  
4.4  
The Newcastle Extension will achieve a more integrated public street network  
within the Secondary Plan Area, provide additional public street frontage for Block "E",  
and create direct and safe pedestrian access to the Mimico GO Station from the nearby  
residential community to the east.  
Mimico-Judson Greenway  
4.5 The Mimico-Judson Greenway is a key connector that will provide a dedicated,  
direct and safe multi-use trail for pedestrians and cyclists through and beyond the  
Secondary Plan Area.  
4.6  
The Mimico-Judson Greenway:  
a) East of Royal York Road may be located within the required setback  
from the rail corridor, on Metrolinx lands, or within portions of the Newcastle  
and Windsor Street rights-of-way; and  
b)  
West of Royal York Road will be located on the south side of Judson  
Street and form part of the planned 23 metre right-of-way. Where the right-of-  
way requires widening along Judson Street, additional lands will be acquired  
from properties on the south side of Judson Street.  
4.7  
The Mimico-Judson Greenway will be a shared pedestrian and cycling trail with  
integrated landscape features and will link to existing parks and open spaces in the  
surrounding community such as Grand Avenue Park, Ourland Park and Coronation  
Park, as well as the new public park located within the Secondary Plan Area identified  
on Map 35-2.  
Public Realm Improvements  
4.8  
The Mimico-Judson Urban Design Guidelines will establish a context for  
coordinated development within the Secondary Plan Area and provide guidance for  
development to support the Public Realm Policies.  
4.9  
Uses that provide amenities for future and existing employees are encouraged  
throughout the Secondary Plan Area to create an attractive work environment and to  
support the existing employment function.  
4.10 New development and public realm improvements will prioritize pedestrian  
movements throughout the Secondary Plan Area to ensure safety and minimize  
conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles, while ensuring that goods movement  
continue to be facilitated.  
4.11 Pedestrian priority areas will be created through increased building setbacks,  
additional landscaping and signage and are intended to direct pedestrian activity to the  
sides of the street on which Blocks "A2", "B", "C", and "D" are located. To minimize  
pedestrian conflict with employment uses, Pedestrian Priority Areas are identified on  
Map 35-5 Movement Strategy and apply to the following blocks:  
a)  
West side of Windsor Street between Portland Street and the Mimico  
GO Station;  
b)  
East side of Buckingham Street between Portland Street and Newcastle  
Street; and  
c)  
South side of Newcastle Street between Windsor Street and  
Buckingham Street.  
The Mimico-Judson Urban Design Guidelines will provide design details of  
each  
pedestrian priority area.  
4.12 Privately Owned, Publicly Accessible Open Spaces (POPS) will be encouraged  
in new developments containing residential uses and designed to extend and connect  
the public realm with development sites in a way that is accessible to members of the  
public year-round.  
5.  
MOVEMENT  
The Movement Strategy for the Secondary Plan Area is based on the opportunities to  
utilize higher order transit and improve the Secondary Plan Area's integration with  
neighbouring communities. The Movement Strategy provides for the introduction of the  
Newcastle Extension along with the Mimico-Judson Greenway, which will extend the  
local road network and provide for important pedestrian/cycling connections across Royal  
York Road.  
Policies  
5.1  
The Movement Strategy for the Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan Area is  
illustrated on Map 35-5.  
Newcastle Extension and Mimico-Judson Greenway  
5.2 The Newcastle Extension and Mimico-Judson Greenway will be acquired prior  
to or in conjunction with redevelopment within Block "E". Within Block “C”, the Mimico-  
Judson Greenway may be secured through an easement registered on title for any  
portion(s) located within a rail corridor setback, or on Metrolinx lands, or within portions  
of the Newcastle and Windsor Street rights-of-way.  
5.3  
The detailed design of the Newcastle Extension and Mimico-Judson Greenway  
will be informed by the Mimico-Judson Urban Design Guidelines and refined through  
the preparation of Detailed Block Plans as required by this Secondary Plan and will  
include details on required rail safety infrastructure and noise attenuation features, and  
the location of any required servicing infrastructure.  
5.4  
Development shall not proceed within the portion of Block "E" that includes the  
Newcastle Extension until the alignment and detailed design of the right-of-way is  
acceptable to the City.  
Transit and Active Transportation  
5.5  
Rerouting local surface transit to the Newcastle Extension is encouraged to  
provide more direct access to the Mimico GO Station.  
5.6  
Any improvements and/or site alterations to the Mimico GO Station should be  
undertaken in a manner that advances this Secondary Plan with respect to improved  
pedestrian and cycling connectivity both across and along the rail corridor and facilities  
for providing pick-up and drop-off that can be wholly accommodated on site.  
5.7  
The Mimico-Judson Greenway overpass at Royal York Road will be  
implemented through future capital improvements.  
5.8  
Where appropriate and in accordance with the Mimico-Judson Urban Design  
Guidelines, the following cycling infrastructure will be encouraged within the Secondary  
Plan Area to facilitate increased cycling safety and ridership:  
a)  
Separated bicycle lanes, sharrows, signed routes and off-street multi-  
use trails such as the Mimico-Judson Greenway;  
b)  
c)  
Increased bicycle parking; and  
Space allocated for future expansion of the Bike Share network at  
Mimico GO Station.  
5.9  
Commuter vehicle and bicycle parking will be encouraged as part of new  
developments within the Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan Area.  
Goods Movement and Loading  
5.10 The following vehicle routes are loading and goods movement priority routes.  
Signage will indicate that these routes facilitate loading and goods movement to and  
from the existing and future businesses within the Mimico Triangle Area:  
a)  
b)  
c)  
d)  
Portland Street between Royal York Road and Buckingham Street;  
Newcastle Street between Royal York Road and Buckingham Street;  
Windsor Street between Portland Street and Newcastle Street; and  
Buckingham Street between Portland Street and Newcastle Street.  
5.11 In conjunction with the identified Pedestrian Priority Areas (Policy 4.11),  
adequate signage and wayfinding will be implemented to discourage pedestrian activity  
along sidewalks within Blocks "A1" and "A3".  
5.12 Where possible, new development will locate loading docks away from public  
streets to minimize conflicts between loading vehicles and pedestrians.  
6.  
BUILT FORM  
The infill redevelopment opportunities provided for within the Secondary Plan Area will  
take various built forms based on their location within the Secondary Plan Area, the site's  
ability to provide key infrastructure such as new roads and parkland and surrounding  
context. New development should define the street edges, parks and open spaces and  
ensure the scale and form will respect the scale of the existing Neighbourhoods and  
achieve compatibility with the permitted employment uses within the Secondary Plan  
Area.  
Policies  
6.1  
Development within the Secondary Plan Area shall be constructed no taller than  
the maximum building heights illustrated on Map 35-6.  
6.2  
Development within the Secondary Plan Area shall:  
a) Not cast any shadows onto the park block locations in Block "D" and  
"E" as identified on Map 35-3 for seven continuous hours during the spring  
and fall equinoxes; and  
b)  
Not cast any shadows on lands designated Neighbourhoods between  
the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. during the spring and fall equinoxes.

b)  
Provide a consistent four-storey street wall;  
Incorporate a stepback above the fourth storey along all public  
streets; and  
c)  
Be located entirely within a 45 degree angular plane measured from  
all property lines abutting streets beginning at 16 metres above grade  
measured at the property line abutting the street.  
6.6  
On Block "C" only, tall buildings may pierce the angular plane for a portion of  
the street frontage.  
7.  
LIVABILITY  
A range and mix of housing and the provision of parks and community services and  
facilities support and enhance quality of life for residents. To achieve a complete and  
inclusive community, a full range of housing in terms of form, tenure and affordability,  
community services and facilities and a new public park will be required.  
Policies  
Housing  
7.1  
New residential development in Mixed Use Areas will provide a residential unit  
mix with:  
a)  
For Blocks "B", "C", "D", and "E", 25 percent or more of the units built  
as two-bedroom units or larger, including 10 percent of the total units built as  
three-bedroom units or larger;  
b)  
For Block "F", 100 percent of residential units being family sized units,  
with the exception of 29 Judson Street, which must provide a minimum of 15  
percent two- bedroom units; and  
c)  
At least one-half of all two-bedroom and three-bedroom or larger units  
in a) above built with all bedrooms located on an exterior wall with glazing.  
7.2  
Development of new affordable rental and ownership housing is encouraged.  
Community Services and Facilities  
7.3  
The Secondary Plan Area is a relatively small area that is located within a larger  
community where there are opportunities to provide additional community services and  
facilities to support and meet the needs of residents and employees.  
7.4  
Community Services and Facilities priorities for the Secondary Plan Area and  
surrounding community include the following:  
a)  
b)  
c)  
Pre-school programs;  
Senior day programs; and  
Farmers Markets.  
7.5  
The Lakeshore Mimico Lawn Bowling Club site and building located within  
Coronation Park and adjacent to the Secondary Plan Area presents an opportunity to  
be repurposed to accommodate some of the identified community services and facilities  
priorities for the Secondary Plan Area and broader community.  
7.6  
Community services and facilities will be located within the Secondary Plan  
Area or in close proximity to resident and employee populations.  
7.7  
The City will monitor the needs and priorities for additional community services  
and facilities to serve the residents and employees of the Secondary Plan Area as  
development occurs.  
Parks  
7.8  
New public park(s) are required to serve future and existing residents and  
employees within the Secondary Plan Area, act as a focal point of the neighbourhood,  
and should be located to allow for easy access to the Mimico-Judson Greenway.  
7.9  
New public park(s) will be located within Block "D" and "E" identified on Map  
35-2 and have frontage on at least two public streets in highly visible and accessible  
locations, and designed to be in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood.  
7.10 New public park(s) will be of a size and shape that will achieve a centrally  
located park.  
7.11 The public park space will provide a neighbourhood park atmosphere, which  
will allow for a variety of outdoor activity and passive recreation opportunities for  
workers, residents and visitors to the area. It will assist in creating connections  
between private and public open spaces within the Secondary Plan Area.  
7.12 For developments in Block "D", the dedication of land for the public park will be  
the priority over a dedication through cash-in-lieu.  
7.13 Proponents who are seeking to develop on lands within the Secondary Plan  
Area outside of Block "D" are encouraged to secure off-site parkland dedication within  
Block "D".  
7.14 Notwithstanding Policy 4.3.8 of the Official Plan, the City may enter into a land  
exchange agreement(s) with property owners in Blocks “D” and “E” to facilitate the  
achievement of a comprehensive parks plan serving the area. Without limitation, the  
land exchange agreement may include terms that permit interim land configurations to  
facilitate phasing of redevelopment within Blocks “D” and “E”.  
8.  
ENVIRONMENTAL  
The introduction of sensitive land uses and new development close to operating  
businesses requires appropriate regard for environmental compatibility between existing  
and planned employment uses and the development of lands with residential and other  
sensitive use permissions.  
Policies  
8.1  
Developments within Blocks "A1", "A2", "A3", "B", "C", "D", "E" and "F" on Map  
35-3 containing residential or sensitive uses shall be appropriately designed, buffered  
and/or separated from existing and operating industries to prevent or mitigate adverse  
effects from noise, vibration, odour and other emissions and contaminants.

All development applications that propose residential or other sensitive uses will  
require a Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment to address any impacts and identify  
any recommended mitigation measures.  
8.3  
Areas where there is a mix of industrial, other non-residential and residential  
uses offer an opportunity for District Energy Systems. Development in the Secondary  
Plan Area is encouraged to consider District Energy Systems, either on a block-wide  
or area-wide basis.  
8.4  
Detailed environmental noise/vibration and air emissions report(s) and detailed  
design plans, acceptable to the City, shall be required in support of any zoning by-law  
amendment applications for sensitive land uses on Block "A1" and the west side of  
Block "D". Such reports are to specify how compatibility will be achieved and  
maintained between permitted uses within Block "A1" and the proposed development  
on Block "A1" and the west side of Block "D", and shall include mitigation measures  
aimed at eliminating or minimizing impacts.  
a)  
b)

square metres (excluding enclosed noise buffer balconies) is permitted for any portion of  
a Tall Building which is located above the 8th storey or above a height of 26.0 metres.  
1.9  
The floorplate of any portion of a Tall Building which is located above the 8th storey or  
above a height of 26 metres, shall be separated from any portion of a Tall Building also  
located above the 8th storey or above a height of 26 metres by a minimum of 25 metres,  
excluding the following projections which may project into the 25 metre separation  
distance from another Tall Building:  
a)  
b)  
balconies up to 2.05 metres in depth unless otherwise specified; and  
as will be specified in the site specific zoning bylaws.  
1.10 Tall Buildings shall not project beyond a 45 degree angular plane drawn from the south  
lot line of properties designated Neighbourhoods on the north side of Portland Street.  
There will be minimal shadows on Neighbourhoods and Parks and Open Spaces,  
assessed on a cumulative basis across the blocks.  
1.11 Ground floor heights will be a minimum of 4.5 metres to facilitate non-residential uses at  
grade.  
1.12 Residential floor to floor heights are encouraged to be approximately 2.9 metres, to  
improve sunlight access into dwelling units.

balconies, at or above-grade parking and above-grade locker/storage areas), comprising a  
maximum of 62,700 square metres of residential gross floor area, together with a  
minimum of 2,350 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, shall be permitted.  
1.16 Phasing of the project is permitted, including the appropriate phasing of development  
standards and non-residential gross floor area, provided all requirements are satisfied  
prior to the occupancy of the last Phase.  
1.17 Notwithstanding the maximum building envelope of the tower portion of the Tall  
Building shown on Map C1, enclosed noise buffer balconies may project by 2.05 m from  
all faces of the tower portion of the tall building beyond the building envelope.  
1.18 Notwithstanding Policy 1.17 above, the area of enclosed noise buffer balconies may be  
excluded from the calculation of gross floor area.  
1.19 The Mimico-Judson Greenway shall be located within the Newcastle Street and Windsor  
Street rights-of-way as shown on Map C1.  
1.20 The site specific policies for Block "C1" shall prevail over the general policies of the  
Secondary Plan where they conflict.  
1.21 In addition to those matters listed in Section 7.4 of the Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan,  
community benefits secured under Section 37 of the Planning Act will include the  
completion of or funds provided for the following:  
a)  
Provision of the Mimico Judson Greenway including the construction of a  
pedestrian and cycling bridge over Royal York;

3,786 square metres. In order to achieve a park of this size in this location, the  
landowners of Blocks D1, D2, D3 and E1 will need to provide or secure a combination of  
on-site dedications and off-site dedications, facilitated by a land exchange.  
1.2  
For development to proceed on Block "E", the Newcastle Extension will be located along  
and within the south and east property lines of Block E1 and will connect to Portland  
Street, as illustrated on Map D/E.  
1.3  
1.4  
The existing termini of Newcastle Street and Grand Avenue may be connected in the  
future by the Newcastle Extension and Mimico Judson Greenway with a right-of-way  
width of 16.5 to 25.0 metres.  
Development Standards for Blocks D1, D2, D3 and E1, shall include:  
1.4.1 Tall buildings are permitted on Blocks "D" and "E" on Blocks D1, D2, D3 and E1  
as per the building locations, and maximum heights which are shown on Map  
D/E. On these sites, a combination of lower height podiums and slender, well-  
spaced tall buildings as well as parks, new streets and pedestrian and cycling  
infrastructure will result in a high-density development as well as the necessary  
physical infrastructure to support it, including parks, new streets, expanded  
pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and childcare facilities.  
1.4.2 Some areas within Blocks "D" and "E" are Height Sensitive Areas as shown on  
Map D/E. In Height Sensitive Areas and near Parks and Open Spaces, tall  
building podiums will not exceed 18 metres unless generous stepbacks to  
significantly reduce the visual and shadow impacts of built form in the podium  
above 18 metres are incorporated into the building design in accordance with  
Policies 1.4.3 and 1.4.4. The tower portion of a tall building will have a generous  
stepback from the podium, adjacent to public streets and parkland.  
1.4.3 Heights lower than 18 metres are required along street edges, particularly on the  
south side of Portland Street, the north side of Newcastle Street and the Newcastle  
Extension, both sides of Audley Street and along park edges. A consistent street  
wall with a maximum height of 18 metres will be provided and the total podium  
height will not exceed the podium heights indicated on Map D/E and more  
specifically on Maps D1, D2, D3 and E1, which range from a maximum of 18  
metres to a maximum of 26 metres depending on the intensity of tall building  
development within that block, with lower podium heights on blocks with the  
greatest intensity of development and higher podium heights where tall building  
development is less intense. Intensity is assessed in terms of numbers of towers  
per block, tower coverage over the gross site area, tower floorplates and tower  
heights.  
1.4.4 Where podiums are within Height Sensitive Areas, as shown on Map D/E along  
Portland Street, Audley Street and the Newcastle Extension, podiums either will  
not exceed 18 metres or will incorporate generous stepbacks to significantly  
reduce the visual and shadow impacts of built form in the podium above 18  
metres up to the podium height limits indicated on Map D/E and more specifically  
on Maps D1, D2, D3 and E1. As shown on the maps, this will result in a  
maximum street wall height not to exceed 13 metres in some areas.  
1.4.5 For the purposes of this Site and Area Specific Policy, Tall Buildings are portions  
of buildings which exceed a height of 46 metres.  
1.4.6 The tower portions of Tall Buildings will be located as shown on Map D/E and  
more specifically on Maps D1, D2, D3 and E1, with generous setbacks from street  
edges, parks, privately-owned publicly accessible open spaces and the edge of the  
podium below. Details regarding balcony projections are provided.  
1.4.7 Unless otherwise specified, a maximum tower floorplate (gross construction area)  
of 750 square metres is permitted for any portion of a Tall Building which is  
located above a height of 26 metres.  
1.4.8 Unless otherwise specified, the floorplate of any portion of a Tall Building which  
is located above a height of 26 metres, shall be separated from any portion of a  
Tall Building also located above a height of 26 metres by a minimum of 25  
metres, excluding the following projections which may project into the 25 metre  
separation distance from another Tall Building:  
a)  
b)  
balconies up to 1.8 metres in depth unless otherwise specified; and  
as will be specified in the site specific zoning bylaws.  
1.4.9 Tall Buildings shall not project beyond a 45 degree angular plane drawn from the  
south lot line of properties designated Neighbourhoods on the north side of  
Portland Street. There will be minimal shadows on Neighbourhoods and Parks  
and Open Spaces, assessed on a cumulative basis across the blocks.  
1.4.10 Ground floor heights will be a minimum of 4.5 metres to facilitate non-residential  
uses at grade.  
1.4.11 Residential floor to floor heights are encouraged to be approximately 3.0 metres,  
to improve sunlight access into dwelling units.  
1.4.12 Map D/E illustrates the implementation of the above, as well as high-level  
development standards for sites on Blocks "D" and "E". Additional detail is  
provided for the Site through more site specific maps. In the event of conflict  
between Map D/E and Maps D1, D2, D3 and/or E1, the site specific maps will  
prevail. For greater certainty, Policy 6.4 of the Mimico Judson Secondary Plan  
does not apply to Blocks D1, D2, D3 and E1.  
1.5. The setbacks and stepbacks illustrated on the site specific maps are deliberate. The intent  
is to provide generous stepbacks from streets, parks and other buildings within the  
blocks, with deeper stepbacks where greater sensitivity is required and key views and  
openness to the sky are to be preserved. These stepbacks and setbacks are tied to the park  
size and shape which resulted from the land exchange for parkland.  
1.6  
1.7  
In the event of a conflict, the site specific policies for Blocks D1, D2, D3, and E1 shall  
prevail over the general policies of the Secondary Plan.  
In addition to those matters listed in Section 7.4 of the Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan,  
community benefits secured under Section 37 of the Planning Act may include the  
completion of or funds provided for the following:  
a)  
b)  
Provision of the Newcastle Extension;  
Provision of the Mimico Judson Greenway, excluding costs of rail safety  
mitigation measures;  
c)  
d)  
e)  
f)  
Public art;  
Enhanced roadway and streetscape improvements;  
Off-site parkland contributions; and  
Privately-Owned Publicly-Accessible Spaces.

and reasonable opportunities to comment on such applications to the  
City, which comments the City shall have regard to when determining  
whether to grant site plan approval and building permits;  
ii. prescribing a process pursuant to which noise impacts will be mitigated  
for outdoor amenity areas located on all of the lands subject to this by-
