Subject:Part Lot Control Exemption Application SL98011
Blueblood Developments Inc.
Bridlegrove Drive
Blocks 5 and 11, Registered Plan M-2317
Cliffcrest Community
Ward 15 - Scarborough City Centre
Purpose:
Blueblood Developments Inc. is constructing a residential subdivision consisting of
single-family and street townhouse dwellings totalling 152 units situated on 17 Blocks on a
Registered Plan. The applicant has applied to lift Part Lot Control on two of the Blocks to
divide them into 19 separate lots. One street townhouse dwelling unit is currently under
construction on each of the proposed lots. This application represents the last Blocks to be
constructed and divided into separate lots on the subdivision plan.
Recommendation:
It is recommended:
(1)that City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to Blocks 5 and
11 on Registered Plan M-2317;
(2)that the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law be repealed one (1) year from the date of the
passing of the By-law;
(3)that all conveyances which occur after the exemption from Part Lot Control be in
accordance with Reference Plan(s) to be approved by the Director of Community Planning,
East District prior to the plan(s) being deposited in the Land Registry Office; and
(4)that Council authorize any unsubstantive technical, stylistic or format changes to the
exemption by-law as may be required to give effect to this resolution.
Background:
The proposed street townhouse lots will have minimum frontages of 7 metres (23 feet) and
minimum lot areas of 200 square metres (2,150 square feet), consistent with the Zoning
By-law requirements. Maintenance and encroachment easements are proposed between the
street townhouse lots to enable owners to gain access to the neighbouring lot for maintaining
the exterior of their dwelling.
Comments:
Section 50(7) of the Planning Act, 1990, authorizes the lifting of Part Lot Control on lots or
blocks within a registered plan. This method of land division allows lot lines to be finalized
during or after construction and is advantageous, especially for street townhouses, because it
avoids the potential problem of party walls of dwelling units being built not coinciding
exactly with lot lines.
The preparation of reference plans for the proposed lot divisions, reviewed by the Director of
Community Planning prior to registration on title, will ensure municipal monitoring and
control and will ensure that the deposited plans reflect Council's approval. There are no
Official Plan or Zoning concerns raised by this application.
Conclusions:
The lifting of Part Lot Control on the subject lands will facilitate the finalization of a
successful residential development already endorsed by the former Scarborough Council.
