City Council Decision
City Council on May 22, 23 and 24, 2018, adopted the following:
1. City Council request the Director, Community Planning, North York District, to bring forward a zoning by-law amendment to the North York Community Council pertaining to 1603 Eglinton Avenue West, to amend the Section 37 provisions of By-law 998-2011 (Ontario Municipal Board) in order to reallocate the funds previously secured but no longer needed for the original purposes.
2. City Council request the Director, Community Planning, North York District, in consultation with the local Councillor and other affected Divisions and program staff, to consider the allocation of uncommitted funds pertaining to the Section 37 provisions for additional community benefits in the vicinity of the development, including, but not limited to:
a. local park improvements;
b. streetscape improvements;
c. public library improvements; and
d. public art;
with the intent to recommend any amendments to the By-laws to reflect current community needs and to co-ordinate these community benefits effectively with the community benefits that have been secured through other Section 37 Agreements which affect the local area.
Background Information (City Council)
Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Josh Colle be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
Reallocation of Section 37 Funds from 1603 Eglinton Avenue West for Public Realm Improvements in the Vicinity of Eglinton Avenue and Oakwood Avenue
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent as the re-allocation of funds will require a by-law amendment at North York Community Council after Council approval. This will only leave July City Council as the last opportunity in 2018 to allocate these funds to important community projects.
