Acting Commissioner of Planning, North York Civic Centre:
Purpose:
This is further to North York Community Council=s direction, adopted by Council at its March 1998 meeting, regarding
proposed modifications to North York=s Industrial Zoning by-law amendments. The attached modification, relating to the
Steeles West Market site, is recommended for endorsement and forwarding to the Ontario Municipal Board.
Source of Funds:Not applicable.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)Council endorse the proposed modification referred to as Schedule F, and attached to this report, and forward same to
the Ontario Municipal Board; and
(2)the Ontario Municipal Board be requested to expeditiously approve By-laws Nos. 33091, 33092 and 33093, with the
modification endorsed per (1) above and the modifications endorsed by Council at its meeting of March 4, 5 and 6, 1998,
save and except for specific matters under appeal that remain outstanding.
Council Reference:
A previous report, dated February 4, 1998, addressed the appeals to By-laws Nos. 33091, 33092 and 33093, which are the
Industrial Zoning by-law amendments that had been passed by North York Council on September 17, 1997. Technical
modifications were proposed to resolve the concerns of four out the five appeals that were still outstanding.
At its meeting of March 4, 5 and 6, 1998, Council adopted the recommendation of North York Community Council (from
its meeting of February 18, 1998), which adopted the recommendations of the above-noted report,
Asubject to the deletion of Schedule >F= relating to the Steeles West Market, in order that Councillor Moscoe may have an
opportunity to meet with staff and the applicant to review their objections.@
Comments:
Councillor Moscoe has now met with staff and the owner of the Steeles West Market site; and understands and agrees with
the wording of ASchedule F@. The schedule, which is also attached to this report, contains revised wording proposed for
exception MC(68)(H) found in Bylaw 33093. The proposed modification clarifies that the maximum gross floor area of
retail stores and personal service shops is 22,720 square metres, which had been permitted in a 1986 site specific bylaw
(No. 30043), and restates the permission for outside sales areas and limitations on the size of retail units from By-law No.
30043 in keeping with the context of the new industrial zoning framework.
Conclusion:
Schedule AF@, which deals with the site of the Steeles West Market, and which had been deleted from the
recommendations considered by North York Community Council regarding the appeals to the Industrial Zoning bylaw
amendments, is now recommended for approval based on consultations with Councillor Moscoe.
