Decision Advice and Other Information
Etobicoke York Community Council requested the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, to submit a report directly to City Council on March 26, 2018, verifying the following matters:
1. A report from the Building Division dated December 14, 2015, outlining that the size of the mixed use building as approved by the Board was limited to 10,000 sq.m.
2. A report outlining that the application before City Council on July 19, 2013, did not request relief in parking and the applicant is providing 184 parking spaces on site.
3. A report outlining that the final site specific zoning by-law approved by the Board provides for the needs of the local community and the needs of the new building residents in conformity with Official Plan policies.
Origin
Summary
This Draft Plan of Standard Condominium application proposes to permit the registration of 128 residential units within an 8-storey mixed use building at 2522-2542 Keele Street. The proposed development also includes 1,143m² of non-residential space and a two-level underground parking garage.
On November 10, 2017, the applicant appealed the Draft Plan of Standard Condominium application to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) pursuant to Subsection 51(34) of the Planning Act, citing the City of Toronto’s failure to render a decision. The Ontario Municipal Board has scheduled a four-day hearing, commencing June 19, 2018, to consider this appeal.
This report recommends that City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to attend the OMB hearing in support of the Draft Plan of Standard Condominium application.
