Decision Advice and Other Information
The Toronto and East York Community Council:
a. requested the Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor to continue discussions with the applicant with respect of the planning concerns set out in the report (November 9, 2017) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York Community Council, and the communications received on this Item for the November 14, 2017 meeting, and;
b. requested the Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and the City Solicitor, to report directly to the December 6, 7 and 8, 2017 City Council meeting with respect to the outcome of the discussions, the review of the communications and with any updates.
Origin
Summary
A revised proposal for Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment applications has been submitted for 395, 387R and 413 Leslie Street to permit seven detached dwellings and four semi-detached dwellings on a private road. The site is located in the interior of a low-rise residential block at the northeast corner of Gerrard Street East and Leslie Street. The existing detached dwellings at 395 and 387R Leslie Street will be demolished. A total of 11 resident parking spaces and one visitor parking space is proposed in the development.
On June 14, 2016, Toronto and East York Community Council (TEYCC) considered staff reports that recommended the original proposals for either an 18 unit or 16 unit townhouse development be refused.
In the interim period between TEYCC and City Council, the applicant appealed the application to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council's failure to make a decision on their request for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments applications.
On July 12, 2016 Toronto City Council considered the applications for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments and authorized the City Solicitor with other appropriate staff to appear before the OMB to oppose the proposal.
On April 26, 2017 Toronto City Council considered a revised application for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments showing fifteen 4-storey townhouse units (the "April Proposal") and authorized the City Solicitor with other appropriate staff to appear before the OMB to refuse the April proposal.
City Planning received a further revised application on September 8, 2017 (the "September Proposal"). The September Proposal eliminates the townhouse form and proposes seven detached dwellings and four semi-detached dwellings in a response to address some of City Planning's issues with the April Proposal.
At its November 7, 2017 meeting, City Council directed the City Solicitor and the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District to report to the next meeting of TEYCC regarding the September Proposal, respecting the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment for the properties at 395, 387R and 413 Leslie Street.
This report identifies outstanding issues with respect to the September Proposal and recommends that City Council direct the City Solicitor and City staff, as appropriate, negotiate with the applicant and, should a settlement not be reached, to attend the OMB to oppose the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications at 395, 387R and 413 Leslie Street.
