Director of Community Planning, East District
Subject:Zoning By-law Amendment Application SC-Z19990024
Scarborough Bluffs Development Limited
6150 Lawrence Avenue East
Blocks 121, 122 and 123, Registered Plan M-2129
Centennial Community
Scarborough Highland Creek
Purpose:
To recommend approval of an application seeking the removal of the Holding Provision (H) from the Zoning By-law to
permit the development of the above property with 75 residential dwellings that will comprise of semi-detached and street
townhouse units.
Recommendations:
(1) That City Council amend the Centennial Community Zoning By-law No. 12077, as amended, with respect to the lands
on the north side of Lawrence Avenue East, being Blocks 121, 122 and 123, Registered Plan 66M-2129, known
municipally as 6150 Lawrence Avenue east, to remove the Holding Provision (H) to permit the development of 75
residential units under the existing "Street Townhouse Residential" Zoning (ST).
(2)That City Council authorize such unsubstantive, stylistic or format changes to the Zoning By-law as may be necessary
to give effect to this resolution.
The subject lands are designated Medium Density Residential (RM) and zoned "Street Townhouse Residential" permitting
a maximum of 75 dwelling units. The development proposed for the site will conform to the requirements of both the
Official Plan and Zoning By-law. However at the time of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment, the site plan
submitted for the review of Council was very conceptual. Scarborough Council therefore implemented a Holding Provision
(H) in the By-law for the property. The implementation of this provision allowed for further reviews and discussion of the
development proposal between the Ward Councillors, staff, the community and the developer resulting in final site plan
that has the support of all the stakeholders. The owner is therefore seeking Council's approval to remove the Holding
Provision (H) from the site. The removal of this provision will allow for the issuance of building permits for the
development.
Conclusions:
The recommended rezoning is consistent with the Official Plan and implements the City's vision for the development of
the Port Union Community. It will also provide for development on the property which is consistent and compatible with
the existing abutting residential development.
