Ontario Municipal Board Decision
Maywin C. Reynolds, 204 Bellamy Road
Ward 15 - Scarborough City Centre
The Scarborough Community Council recommends the adoption of the following
report (July 8, 1998) from the City Solicitor:
Purpose:
The purpose of this report is to advise of the Memorandum of Oral Decision of the Ontario
Municipal Board with respect to the above-noted matter and in accordance with the Board's
Decision, to place the subject property, 204 Bellamy Road, under site plan control.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that City Council enact the attached by-law to place 204 Bellamy Road
under Site Plan Control.
Background:
The former Scarborough Council, on January 23, 1996, considered a staff report
recommending a rezoning application to permit a maximum of 40 m2 (430 square feet) of
the basement of the residence to be used for personal service shops limited to a beauty
parlour and a hairdressing salon. At the same time, Council had before it a By-law to enact
Site Plan Control for the property in the event Council approved the rezoning. Council
refused the application and the applicant subsequently appealed Council's decision to the
Ontario Municipal Board.
The Law Department appeared before the Board in support of Council's decision and on
September 26, 1997, the Ontario Municipal Board approved the rezoning application, and a
copy of the Board's Memorandum of Oral Decision and Amendment to Memorandum of
Oral Decision are attached. The Board's Order for the rezoning is contingent on the City
passing a Site Plan Control By-law for the property in the form attached. The Board's Order
regarding the zoning will come into effect upon Council's passage of this by-law.
A Site Plan Control Application has been submitted for the property and is supported by
Planning staff in order to ensure the efficient location of parking for the commercial use and
safe vehicular access from the property to Bellamy Road.
