Origin

(October 2, 2007) Report from Director, Community Planning, North York District

Summary

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit an existing temporary parking lot to operate as a permanent use at 4155 Yonge Street.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The temporary use of the lands for a parking lot was permitted through a series of temporary use By-laws, the first of which expired in 1995, and the latest on April 14, 2006. The proposal would not change the function of the property, but would allow the existing parking lot, operating for the past 12 years, to continue as a permanent use. The proposal does not conflict with the policies of the City of Toronto Official Plan.

Financial Impact

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.
