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 application within the time prescribed by the Planning Act. A hearing has been scheduled for July 20 to 22, 2016.
This application is to amend the North York Zoning By-law for a portion of the lands at 15 Mallow Road to permit 39 new dwelling units comprised of 10 townhouses, 16 semi-detached and 13 detached dwellings and a new public road.
This report recommends that the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and other appropriate staff, attend the OMB hearing in opposition to the current proposal.
