2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

3. City Council authorize the introduction of the necessary Bill by the City Solicitor for enactment by City Council upon receipt of confirmation from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning that all outstanding conditions for the removal of the holding symbol ("h") as set out in Zoning By-law 1174-2010 Section 3.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on October 14, 2021 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to remove the holding symbol ("h") from Zoning By-law 1174-2010 for a portion of the lands at 429 Lake Shore Boulevard East and 324 Cherry Street (Block 1), to permit the development of a 11-storey commercial office building.

All of the conditions for the removal of the holding symbol ("h") included in the Zoning By-law 1174-2010 have been satisfied for this phase of development.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020).

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application and that the amending by-law be brought forward to Council for enactment.
