(October 19, 2015) Letter from Ron Taylor (CC.Main.NY9.24.87)
NY9.24 - Refusal Report - Official Plan Amendment Application and Request for Direction Report - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - 200-214 Keewatin Avenue
- Decision Type:
- ACTION
- Status:
- Adopted
- Ward:
- 25 - Don Valley West
Community Council Recommendations
North York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council refuse the application for Official Plan Amendment and oppose the Application for Zoning By-law Amendment at 200-214 Keewatin Avenue for the reasons set out in the report (September 18, 2015) from the Director, Comunity Planning, North York District.
2. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and any other City staff as appropriate, to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment application.
3. In the event that the Official Plan Amendment Application is appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and any other City staff as appropriate, to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing to oppose the Official Plan Amendment application.
4. In the event that the Ontario Municipal Board allows the appeal on the Official Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment applications in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request the OMB to withhold its Order, until such time as appropriate Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are prepared to the satisfaction of the Director, Community Planning, North York District and the City Solicitor.
Origin
Summary
The applications propose to amend the City of Toronto's Official Plan and amend the former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86 and the new City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013, to permit two apartment buildings in the form of two 4-storey back-to-back stacked townhouse blocks (14.6 metres high). The development is comprised of 80 residential units with a residential gross floor area of 8,604 square metres on a land assembly composed of 8 residential properties at 200-214 Keewatin Avenue. Parking is proposed within a one level shared underground garage providing a total of 85 parking spaces, which includes 8 parking spaces dedicated for visitors. Driveway access is proposed at the western edge of the site.
On February 6, 2015 an application was submitted to amend City of Toronto Zoning By-laws 438-86 and 569-2013. This application was subsequently appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) on July 29, 2015, citing City Council's failure to make a decision within the prescribed time frames set out in the Planning Act.
On June 25, 2015 an application was submitted to amend the City of Toronto's Official Plan in support of the associated Zoning By-law amendment application. The Official Plan Amendment application has not been appealed and cannot be appealed until December 25, 2015. The applicant's appeal letter to the Ontario Municipal Board for the Zoning By-law amendment indicates that their intention is to appeal the Official Plan amendment application as soon as permitted by the Planning Act and request for it to be consolidated with the zoning by-law amendment appeal. An Ontario Municipal Board pre-hearing or full hearing date has not yet been set for the Zoning By-law amendment appeal.
The purpose of this report is to recommend refusal of the Official Plan Amendment application (15 180825 NNY 25 OZ) and to seek Council's direction for staff representation at the OMB to oppose any future Official Plan Amendment application appeal (15 180825 NNY 25 OZ) and the current Zoning By-law Amendment application appeal (15 113064 NNY 25 OZ).
The proposal does not conform to the Official Plan's Neighbourhood development criteria policies and does not respect and reinforce the existing physical character of the neighbourhood, in particular: the size and configuration of lots; heights, massing, scale and dwelling type of nearby residential properties; prevailing building types; setbacks of buildings from streets; prevailing patterns of rear and side yard setbacks and landscaped open space.
