Second Submission Made For 3291 Kingston Road/ 2+4 Windy Ridge Drive
The second Submission to the City of Toronto, which is an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning by-law amendment and Site Plan Approval Application was submitted in December 2021. You can review all of the materials on the Application Information Centre.
A few of the changes made:
- The design of the building was advanced further, with a focus on breaking up the massing using a variety of masonry-based materials.
- The number of units was reduced from 343 to 309. 36% of the units are allocated to 2 and 3 bedroom units.
- The site organization was altered to remove the access drive aisle from Windy Ridge drive. Vehicular access is proposed to be from Kingston Road.
- The streetwall along Windy Ridge Drive was reduced to a 4-storey massing, stepping down to a two-storey condition where it is closest to the homes further south on Windy Ridge Drive.
- The removal of the drive aisle from Windy Ridge Drive allowed for the retention of additional trees, including a mature red maple tree.
- 46 visitor parking spaces are proposed to prevent visitor parking overflow into the community.

Cliffcrest Scarborough Village SW Residents Association Application Response – September 2nd 2021.
The Cliffcrest and Scarborough Village community has provided detailed comments on the proposed development at 3291 Kingston Road, 2 and 4 Windy Ridge which can be found here.
The corresponding video presentation can also be found here.
The presentation objectives includes the following topics:
- Share the valued aspects and established physical character of this unique neighbourhood.
- Highlight the inherently detrimental conceptual flaws of this and any similarly framed proposal for a mid-rise development entering onto Windy Ridge Drive.
- Confirm that rezoning residential homes in this neighbourhood is inappropriate and not the intent of the Official Plan.
- Start a conversation to guide recommendations for the applicant that would lead to a sensitive and accepted development in line with community needs.
LCH has heard the community and plans to address the vast majority of their concerns and adjustments to the proposal in a revised design. Additional details are to be discussed at the planned Community Consultation Meeting on September 16th 2021.
