Community Council Recommendations
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council direct the City Solicitor and City Staff, as appropriate, to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment application for 2706-2730 Dundas Street West in its current form for reasons set out in the report (June 15, 2018) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.
2. City Council authorize the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, to secure services, facilities or matters pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, should the proposal be approved in some form by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.
3. In the event that the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal to withhold the issuance of any Order(s) until such time as the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal has been advised by the City Solicitor that:
a. the final form of the Zoning By-law Amendments is to the satisfaction of the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the City Solicitor;
b. the owner has provided an updated Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services;
c. the owner has provided an updated Hydrogeological Report and supporting documents addressing any on-site groundwater to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Toronto Water; and
d. community benefits and other matters in support of the development are secured in a Section 37 Agreement executed by the owner and registered on title to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor.
5. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and necessary staff to take such necessary steps, as required, to implement the recommendations above.
Origin
Summary
On August 2, 2017 an application was submitted for a 12-storey (45.03 metres including a 5-metre mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building containing 173 residential units, at 2706-2730 Dundas Street West.
On December 18, 2017, on the earliest possible appeal date, the applicant appealed the Zoning By-law Amendment application without any revisions to the proposal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the LPAT) citing Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the timeframe prescribed by the Planning Act.
Following the appeal, the applicant on April 10, 2018 submitted a revised application for a 9-storey (37 metres including 5-metre mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building containing 151 residential units.
This report recommends that the City Solicitor together with the City Planning staff and other appropriate staff be directed to oppose the application in its current form at the LPAT.
The proposed building height is too tall and does not fit within the existing and planned context and does not comply with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), does not conform to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017) and does not comply with the Official Plan or Mid-rise Guidelines.
