Community Council Recommendations
North York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and other appropriate staff, to attend the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment application in the current form.
2. City Council authorize City staff to continue discussions with the applicant on a revised proposal which addresses the issues set out in the report (March 25, 2015) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.
3. In the event that the Ontario Municipal Board allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council direct staff to request that the Board withhold any order to approve a Zoning By-law Amendment for the subject lands until such time as a site plan agreement has been entered into between the City and the owner and any preconditions to site plan approval are fulfilled.
4. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request the Ontario Municipal Board to withhold any final Orders approving the Zoning By-law Amendment until such time as the Owner has entered into and registered a Section 37 Agreement to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.
Origin
Summary
The applicant has appealed the 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 pre-hearing conference has been set for May 5, 2015. No hearing date has been set.
The applicant has appealed the original submission, however, over the course of the review, the applicant had submitted revisions in response to City comments and the community consultation meeting feedback. This report will outline the original submission, as well as the most recently reviewed submission. The original proposal is for a 19-storey building and 3 blocks of 4-storey townhouses. The revised proposal is for a 14-storey building with a 10-storey wing at the south end and a 6-storey wing at the north end as well as one block of 4-storey townhouses.
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 address the outstanding issues set out in this report.
