Director of Community Planning, East Office

 Subject:Technical Amendments to Various Zoning By-laws

Various Wards

 Purpose:

 To authorize Notice of a Public Meeting to consider minor technical amendments to correct errors in various Zoning By-laws

 Recommendations:

 That the Scarborough Community Council convene a Public Meeting to consider this initiative at the December 1998 Community Council Meeting.

 Background:

 This report is part of the continuing work program to correct Zoning By-laws drafting errors. The changes, or corrections, do not fall easily into one specific category. They range from correcting typographical errors and mapping errors, to changes to better implement the intent of some previous Council directions.

 Comments:

 Over the last number of years, the former City of Scarborough implemented some major zoning initiatives, such as, the consolidation of the Employment Districts Zoning By-law, new regulations for Non-Accessory Signs and zoning Unzoned Lands. These were very large complicated initiatives. We have discovered some minor errors in the implementation which should be corrected.

 Staff are currently gathering all the possible changes. The list will be complete prior to notice of the Public Meeting. The report that comes forward to the December Community Council Meeting will contain a discussion of the changes proposed.

 Conclusions:

 That a public meeting should be scheduled to consider corrections to the zoning by-laws.
