Community Council Recommendations

2. City Council direct the City Solicitor to also advise the OMB that City Council’s position is that any redevelopment of the site at 1030 King Street West, if approved by the OMB, should:
a. secure services, facilities or matters pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, as may be required by the Chief Planner and Executive Director; and

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and City staff to take any necessary steps to implement the foregoing.
Origin
Summary
The Zoning By-law amendment and Site Plan Control applications for 1030 King Street West have been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council’s failure to make a decision on the applications within the time allotted by the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006. The applications propose to demolish the existing one-storey DaimlerChrysler car dealership building to be replaced with two10-storey towers fronting King Street West with two14-storey towers running perpendicular to King Street, through the interior of the site to Shank Street.
The purpose of this report is to seek City Council’s direction for the City Solicitor to oppose the proposal in its current form at the OMB and to advise the OMB of Council’s position regarding the appropriate form of development on the site.
