Consent Agreement with Waddington Development Corporation; Required by Ontario Municipal Board

Ward 21, Davenport

Purpose:

To obtain authority for the Clerk and Treasurer to execute a Consent Agreement with Waddington Development Corporation with respect to properties located at 2543, 2545 and 2549 Dundas Street West, and 22R Jerome Street. The Consent Agreement is required as a condition of the Ontario Municipal Board's decision regarding this matter.

Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

No Financial Implications.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1) the City Clerk and Treasurer be authorized to sign the Consent Agreement, made between Waddington Development Corporation and the City of Toronto with respect to 2543, 2545 and 2549 Dundas Street West, and 22R Jerome Street and any other documentation necessary to give effect thereto.

Background:

Waddington Development Corporation, ("Waddington"), the owner of the premises known municipally as 2543, 2545 and 2549 Dundas Street West, and 22R Jerome Street (the "Site"), made application to the Committee of Adjustment for consent to convey and permit the creation of twelve parcels and associated easements and rights of way within the Site to accommodate the development of ten semi-detached houses and two detached houses together with the necessary variance application. The application was dismissed by the Committee of Adjustment.

Waddington appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board ("OMB") which allowed the appeal and granted the consent to convey subject to certain conditions recommended by the Commissioner of Urban Planning and Development Services. These conditions are to be outlined in a Consent Agreement between Waddington and the City of Toronto which is to be registered on title.

The OMB's order will not issue until the applicant (i.e., Waddington) files with the Board the Consent Agreement and a revised Zoning By-law amendment.

Comments:

A draft of the Consent Agreement is being forwarded to Waddington for approval. This draft contains all of the conditions required by the Commissioner of Urban Planning and Development Services and the conditions agreed to by the appellant at the hearing with respect to the submission made by the West Toronto Junction Historical Society.

A final copy of the approved Consent Agreement will be deposited with Clerk's.

Conclusions:

The Consent Agreement, prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, could now be executed by the City Clerk and the City Treasurer.
