Origin
Summary
Highland Creek Lofts Inc. has appealed its Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time period prescribed by the Planning Act. This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to allow for the development of two semi-detached dwellings fronting onto Galloway Road along with five detached dwellings on a private driveway at 85 Galloway Road which would be processed as a future common element condominium.
The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction with respect to the position of the City at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing, for which a second pre-hearing date has been scheduled for November 22, 2017.
It is recommended that the City Solicitor, together with Planning staff and other appropriate staff attend the OMB hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment application in its current form.
