Official Plan:(TMUA) Transitional Mixed Use Area

Zoning:RM5 (10) Exceptions to RM5 Zone

Comments:

The lands were the subject of zoning amendment application UDOZ-96-25 which was approved by Council on May 14, 1997. Implementing By-law No. 33034, which was approved on July 9, 1997, permits the re-development of the lands subject to specific zoning regulations. The development is a mixed use subdivision consisting of townhouses, apartment condominiums with ground floor employment uses and a park. This phase of the development consists of 5 townhouse buildings containing a total of 31 units. As future phases of this subdivision are constructed, exemption from part lot control will be used for other Blocks within the development. The site plan was approved on June 3, 1998 under application number UDSP-97-228.

The release of part lot control would permit the conveyance of each townhouse unit. As required, by a policy adopted by North York Council on October 18, 1995, the applicant has provided a letter of undertaking that the City will be advised upon the sale or transfer of the last parcel of land in order that the exempting by-law may be revoked.

Conclusions:

This application is consistent with the City's part lot control exemption policy and the required documents have been filed with the City's Legal Department. The issues regarding this development have been reviewed and all matters of concern to the City, for the development of the subject lands, are covered by the conditions of site plan approval and the requirements of Zoning By-law 7625.The necessary agreements associated with the development have been executed, building permits issued and construction commenced. The required letter of undertaking is in place.
