Summary |
The applications to amend the zoning by-law and the proposed draft plan of subdivision were made before January 1, 2007 and are not subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act or City of Toronto Act, 2006. The application to amend the Official Plan was made on or after January 1, 2007 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
Official plan amendment, rezoning and plan of subdivision applications have been submitted to permit the development of 25 single detached residential homes and 74 townhouse units, for a total of 99 dwelling units. The proposal would result in the creation of three new 18.5 metre wide public roads and a park located at the northeast corner of the development site. The official plan amendment will amend Map 3 of the Official Plan by narrowing the Lawrence Avenue East right-of-way adjacent to the site from 36 metres, to 30.86 metres. The project proposes to incorporate a former road allowance owned by the City that bisects the development site from north to south in order to comprehensively develop the entire site.
The purchase of the City land is subject to a separate report to Government Management Committee. This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and zoning by-law. This report also advises that the Chief Planner may approve the draft plan of subdivision. |
