Community Council Recommendations
North York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning Staff and appropriate City staff, to attend the Ontario Municipal Board to oppose the appeal of the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications (Application No. 15 186678 NNY 24 OZ) and Site Plan applications (15 186694 NNY 24 SA) in their current form.
2. In the event the Ontario Municipal Board allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request that the Board withhold any order to approve an Official Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment for the subject lands until such time as:
a. the Board has been advised by the City Solicitor that the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments are in a form satisfactory to the City; and
b. the site plan control application is finalized to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Planning, North District.
3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to continue discussions with the applicant to address the issues outlined in the report (May 27, 2016) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District, and to report back to City Council on the outcome, including any revised proposal, as appropriate.
Origin
Summary
This application proposes 22 three-storey townhouses on the subject lands fronting onto Bayview Avenue, and 45 parking spaces in one level of underground parking at 3057-3067 Bayview Avenue and 1 Burleigh Heights Drive.
The applicant appealed the applications to the Ontario Municipal Board on January 12, 2016 on the basis that no decisions had been made on the applications within the statutory timeframe. The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction for the City Solicitor and other appropriate City staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board to oppose the application as currently proposed. The proposal does not respect the existing and planned context of the neighbourhood and does not conform to the Official Plan.
