Purpose:

In response to the request from Scarborough Community Council, this is a status report on Retail/Commercial component of the Mondeo development and the application to remove the Holding Provision (H) from that component.

The holding provision was incorporated into the zoning by-law to ensure that certain conditions are satisfied prior to development proceeding.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that

Scarborough Community Council receive this report for information.

Background:

In order to ensure orderly development of the commercial component of the Mondeo community, the Neighbourhood Commercial zoning permissions are subject to a Holding Provision (H). This allows the City to ensure that certain conditions are satisfied prior to the removal of the holding provision from the subject lands. These conditions include the following requirements:

(a) the Subdivision Agreement be executed for all the lands subject to the current zoning categories;

(b) the necessary transportation improvements be implemented to accommodate the development on this site and;

(c) satisfactory resolution of Site Plan Control applications.

Comments:

The following is the current status of the conditions imposed on this application:

Subdivision Agreement

The subdivision agreement has been executed and registered.

Transportation Improvements

A further Traffic Impact Study has been completed and is now being assessed. Staff will provide an update on this issue as soon as possible.

Site Plan Control Application

Matters of building siting, parking and access to the site have not been finalized (Application SC-S1998100).

Conclusions:

Once the Site Plan Control issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Planning, East District, a report recommending the lifting of the "H" category will be prepared and submitted to Community Council. At that time, Public Notice will be given of Council's intent to lift the "H" category in accordance with the provisions of The Planning Act.
