Community Council Recommendations

1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with any other appropriate staff, to support the Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Amendment applications at the Ontario Municipal Board for the lands at 426-444 Adelaide Street West.
Origin
Summary
This applicant was granted approval by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on June 13, 2012, of variances to Zoning By-law 438-86 to permit an 11-storey (35.3 metres including mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building at 426-444 Adelaide Street West. The proposed development consists of retail uses at grade, 243 residential units above, and 120 parking spaces in three levels of below-grade parking. The OMB did not grant a requested variance for a reduction in indoor amenity space.
The current rezoning and Site Plan Amendment applications are for the same reduction from 486 m2 to 98 m2 of indoor amenity space that was not supported by City staff, refused by the Committee of Adjustment and refused at the OMB. The applicant appealed the rezoning application to the OMB on January 23, 2013 and appealed the Site Plan Amendment application on February 19, 2013, both on the basis of the City's failure to make a decision on the applications within the timelines prescribed by the Planning Act. The applicant has requested that the appeals be consolidated. A hearing date of June 4, 2013 has been set.
This report recommends refusal of the applications.
