Origin
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 applications within the time prescribed by the Planning Act. A hearing has been set for November 25, 2014. The Site Plan Control Application (file no. 13 221111 NNY 15 SA) has not been appealed by the applicant to the OMB.
The application proposes to amend both the former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 and the former City of York Zoning By-law 1-83 to permit the development of 124 stacked back-to-back townhouse units and 4 commercial units with underground parking located at 1100 Briar Hill Avenue.
The report recommends that the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff, attend the OMB hearing in opposition to the current proposal. It also recommends that staff continue to work with the applicant in an attempt to resolve the outstanding issues and achieve a settlement.
