Origin

(July 22, 2014) Report from the Director, Community Planning, North York District

Summary

The applicant has appealed the Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control applications to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council's failure to make a decision on the applications within the time prescribed by the Planning Act. A hearing has been set for September 22, 2014.

 

This application proposes a nine-storey (27.7-metre), 91-unit building on the south side of Sheppard Avenue West, immediately east of Harlock Boulevard.  A total of 6,785m2 of gross floor area is proposed which would result in a density of 3.86 times the area of the lot. A total of 101 parking spaces are proposed on 3 underground levels, including 14 spaces for visitors.

 

The report recommends that City Council instruct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff, to attend the OMB hearing to support the position outlined in this report.
