Origin

(February 26, 2012) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District

Summary

The applicant has appealed the Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time prescribed by the Planning Act.  A pre-hearing or hearing date has not been scheduled. 

 

This application proposes to add eight storeys (5,984 square metres) and 94 residential units to an approved 39-storey residential building.  The new development would consist of a total of 511 residential units and approximately 34,406 square metres of residential gross floor area on a 0.209 hectare site located on the south side of Charles Street East between Church Street and Yonge Street.  The site is municipally known as 45 Charles Street East.

 

Planning staff recommends approval to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the additional eight storeys over and above the approved 39-storey residential building. The purpose of this report is to seek City Council’s direction for the City Solicitor, together with Planning and appropriate City staff, to propose a settlement at the OMB.
