A staff presentation was made by Gwen Manderson, Senior Planner, Planning
Department, North York Civic Centre.
The following individuals appeared before the Community Council:
a) Ms. Sharolyn Vettese on behalf of the Yonge Street Area Ratepayers
Association
Ms. Vettese indicated that the Yonge Street Area Ratepayers Association
has participated in the creation of the Secondary Plans for this area. In
her opinion, the Plan provides for development to proceed in an orderly
fashion while protecting the stable residential area. The proposal put
forward by the applicant would change that flexibility and would affect
further developments. She further indicated that the applicant should abide
by the Plan adopted by the former North York Council; and
b) Mr. Patrick Devine, Solicitor, Goodman and Carr, on behalf of Seneca
College of Applied Arts and Technology
Mr. Devine explained the merits of the application and the history related
to these lands. He indicated that this application was filed in 1988
however as a result of negotiations for the service road, the application
did not proceed forward. Under the provisions of the Planning Act, you can
appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board within 90 days, if no recommendation
has been made. In this case, the file has been open for the past 9 years.
He further indicated that Seneca College participated and supported the
City s initiatives in the Downtown Secondary Plan (OPA s 277, 293 and 321)
and continues to support the current designation along with the range of
uses that are permitted. The College has also participated in and
supported the City s South Downtown Secondary Plan Review (OPA 393)
initiatives.
In addition he stated that there was a fundamental agreement with the mix
of uses prior to OPA 447. This site under the approved Official Plan
policies had that flexibility. There was no limit under the Official Plan
for 100% commercial, residential and institutional. It was only as a
result of OPA 447 that a limit of 50 percent residential was placed on this
site. That policy has not been approved by the Minister. He further
stated, that the governing Official Plan is the Plan that is in effect as
of the date of the application. In his opinion, he believes that they have
a solid case.
Mr. Devine further indicated that Seneca College is not the developer of
the lands. Seneca College embarked on a proposal call and they narrowed
