Summary
At its meeting of June 14, 2014, North York Community Council (NYCC) deferred consideration of a final report on the application to amend the North York Centre Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law 7625 to permit a revised design for the previously approved 34-storey mixed-use building at 4917 to 4975 Yonge Street and amendments to Zoning By-law 7625 respecting the shared driveway between the existing apartment buildings at 23 Hollywood Avenue and 18 Spring Garden Avenue and the new mixed-use building proposed at 4917-4975 Yonge Street. NYCC requested that staff report back on two matters to the August 12, 2014 meeting of NYCC.
This report provides information on the status of the items requested by NYCC concerning the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 66 at 6 Spring Garden Avenue and the future views of the proposed building from the existing apartment building at 65 Spring Garden Avenue.
This report also advises that the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment application has been appealed by the applicant to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council's failure to make a decision within the prescribed period under the Planning Act. As a result of the appeal, the decision on the application is now within the jurisdiction of the OMB rather than Council.
