AMENDMENT NO. 1018 TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN

OF THE

(FORMER) CITY OF SCARBOROUGH

DESIGNATION OF A NEW ROAD

ELLESMERE EMPLOYMENT DISTRICT

The following Maps designated Schedule "I" and "II" constitutes Amendment No. , being an amendment to Schedule "A", Land Use Plan, and Schedule "C", Roads Plan of the Official Plan. The sections headed "Purpose and Location", and "Basis" are explanatory only, and shall not constitute part of this amendment.

PURPOSE AND LOCATION:

The purpose of this amendment is to identify a new road connection linking the eastern terminus of Metropolitan Road to Warden Avenue through Continental Place, as shown on Schedules "I" and "II".

BASIS:

The only means of access from Warden Avenue and Highway 401 to most of the properties in this portion of the Ellesmere Employment District, which include a major distribution terminal, offices, industrial uses and a hotel, is via Metropolitan Road. While signalized, the Warden/Metropolitan intersection is heavily used throughout the day and particularly during peak periods.

There is an opportunity to improve the local road pattern and provide an alternative for local traffic in this employment district by connecting Metropolitan Road to Warden Avenue via Continental Place to the south. A substantial portion of the lands required are already owned by the City of Toronto.

In addition, such a road would create additional frontage to abutting properties, providing the potential for on-site circulation improvements and particularly for enhancing potential for the intensification or redevelopment of these properties. Such improvements will have attendant business benefits enhancing the City of Toronto economy.

OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT:

A.The Ellesmere Employment District Land Use Plan Map is amended by indicating a "Proposed Road" connecting the eastern terminus of Metropolitan Road to Warden Avenue via Continental Place, as shown on the attached Schedule "I".

B.Schedule "C" of the Official Plan (Roads Plan) is amended by adding a new 23 m north-south road allowance connecting the eastern terminus of Metropolitan Road to Warden Avenue via Continental Place, as shown on the attached Schedule "II".
