1840-1850 Bloor Street, south side of Bloor Street at Bridgewood Drive
Owner: 1840-1850 Bloor E (MISS) Ltd.
File: OZ/OPA 20/003 W3
Recommendation
1. That City Council amend Mississauga Official Plan to Residential High Density – Special
Site for 1840 and 1850 Bloor Street, in accordance with the provisions contained in the staff
report dated March 5, 2025 from the Commissioner of Planning and Building.
2. That City Council amend Zoning By-law 0225-2007 to RA4-Exception (Residential
Apartment) for 1840 and 1850 Bloor Street, in accordance with the provisions contained in
the staff report dated March 5, 2025 from the Commissioner of Planning and Building.
3. That City Council direct the applicant to satisfy all requirements of the City and any other
external agency concerned with the development.
4. That City Council’s approval of the rezoning application be considered null and void, and a
new development application be required unless a zoning by-law is passed within 18
months of the Council decision.
5. That Council classify the lands delineated in Appendix 3 as Class 4 Area in accordance
with the Environmental Noise Guidelines – Stationary and Transportation Sources –
Approval and Planning (NPC – 300).
Executive Summary
Official plan amendment and rezoning applications have been submitted to permit two
18 storey rental apartment buildings with 433 units and to retain the existing two 14
storey rental apartment buildings at 1840 and 1850 Bloor Street
The applicant has conducted extensive technical analysis and made revisions to the
proposal to address issues raised at the Public Meeting and by City staff and external
agencies, including:
– Refining the internal road network and pedestrian circulation network on-site
– Delineating the Class 4 Area under the NPC-300 Environmental Noise Guidelines
The southerly property line coincides with the limit of the Dixie Employment Area and,
therefore, the proposed development is unable to comply with the applicable Provincial
environmental noise guideline for residential uses. As such, the applicant is requesting
the use of the Class 4 area classification for the two proposed buildings.
Staff are satisfied with the changes to the proposal and find them to be acceptable from
a planning standpoint and recommend that the applications be approved
Conclusion
In summary, the proposed development adds to the range of housing options in the area,
demonstrates an appropriate unit mix to accommodate larger family-sized units, provides noise
mitigation techniques to not impact abutting industrial lands, and offers a built form that is
compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. The proposed official plan amendment and
rezoning are acceptable from a planning standpoint and should be approved.
