Subject:Draft By-laws - Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments for the Carlaw Avenue Industrial Area (Ward 25
- Don River)
Purpose:
This report provides the necessary draft by-law amendments to redesignate the Carlaw Avenue Industrial Area, also
referred to as the Carlaw Study Area generally from a Restricted Industrial Area to a Mixed Industrial-Residential Area
with an I2D3 zoning designation.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
The enactment of the Draft By-laws has no financial implications or impact for the Corporation. It requires no funding.
Recommendations:
"It is recommended:
(1)That the Toronto Community Council hold a public meeting in respect of the Draft By-laws in accordance with the
provisions of the Planning Act.
Following the public meeting and in the event the Toronto Community Council wishes to approve the Draft By-laws, it
could recommend:
(2)That the Draft By-laws attached to the Report (April 21, 1998) of the Solicitor be approved and that authority be
granted to introduce the necessary Bills in Council to give effect thereto."
Council Reference/Background/History:
The Toronto Community Council will have before it the Report of the Commissioner of Urban Planning and Development
Services (April 17, 1998) respecting the above-noted subject. This Report recommends the amendment of the Official Plan
for the former City of Toronto, which will redesignate the Carlaw Study Area as follows:
(a)the Restricted Industrial Area will be redesignated as a Mixed Industrial-Residential Area with the exception of a site
fronting on Logan Avenue which would be redesignated as Low Density Residence Area and
(b)the 1236 Dundas Street East property will be redesignated from a Mixed Industrial-Residential Area to a Low Density
Residence Area.
An accompanying Zoning By-law Amendment would install an I2D3 zoning designation over most of the Mixed
Industrial-Residential Area with an 18 metre height limit. The Low Density Residence Area would have an R3Z1.0 zoning
designation with a 12 metre height limit.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
This report contains the necessary Draft By-laws, which, if enacted, will give effect to the Planning Report.
Conclusions:
Not applicable.
