Request for Exemption from Part Lot-Control - 1184112 Ontario

Limited, 3 and 5 Birchview Boulevard

The Etobicoke Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (May 27, 1998) from the Commissioner of Urban Development, Etobicoke District:

Purpose:

To review a request for exemption from Part Lot Control.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

City funding is not required. There are no impacts on capital or operating budgets.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the request for exemption from Part Lot Control be approved and that staff be authorized to forward the draft bill to City Council for adoption.

Background:

In July, 1997, the property located at the southwest corner of Birchview Boulevard and Royal York Road was rezoned, under By-law 1997-133, from Second Density Residential (R2) to Third Density Residential (R3) to permit the development of a pair of semi detached dwellings. In October, 1997, building permits were issued and construction of the two semi-detached dwellings is substantially complete.

Proposal:

The applicant is requesting exemption from part lot control in order to create two separate parcels for the semi-detached units.

Exhibit No. 1 is a location plan and Exhibit No. 2 is a reduction of the draft plan of survey indicating the proposed property line dividing the site into two lots.

Comment:

The project was reviewed prior to the issuance of a building permit and all necessary financial securities have been posted to ensure completion in accordance with the approved plans. The lifting of part lot control is requested in order to permit the sale of the individual units.

Staff of the Urban Development Department, Fire Department, Building Standards and the Works Department have reviewed the application and have no concerns with the requested exemption. Urban Development staff are satisfied that sufficient public notice for the project was given in connection with the application for rezoning and that further public notice is not warranted.

Conclusion:

An exemption from part-lot control for the project is considered appropriate for the orderly development of the land.
