1221 Markham Road - Rezoning Application Request for Direction Report |
Origin |
(May 5, 2010) Report from Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District |
Recommendations |
The City Planning Division recommends that:
1. City Council direct the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing for the lands at 1221 Markham Road, in opposition to the applicant’s zoning amendment application.
2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Director of Community Planning, Scarborough District, to continue discussions with the applicant in an effort to resolve the appeal at the upcoming OMB hearing, if a revised development proposal is put forward by the applicant which addresses the issues and incorporates the conditions detailed in this report, to the satisfaction of the City. |
Summary |
The applicant has appealed the zoning by-law amendment application for a mixed use development at 1221 Markham Road. The applicant has also appealed Official Plan Amendment No. 71 (OPA 71 – Markham Ellesmere Revitalization Area), adopted by Toronto City Council on August 6, 2007, as it pertains to the subject site.
In March, 2010 the applicant submitted revised plans to the City and Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) proposing the construction of 696 residential condominium (apartment) units in three buildings, 21 storeys in height, and 1,846m2 (19,870 sq.ft) of retail and restaurant uses. Planning staff do not support the applicant’s current proposal since it is not consistent with the Official Plan and Markham Ellesmere Revitalization Area objectives adopted by City Council to provide for vibrant mixed use development on a public road network, complete with community benefits in exchange for increased height and density. The applicant’s proposal aims to benefit from the intensification potential presented by the Official Plan without meeting the overall design objectives of the Official Plan and without providing the necessary supporting public infrastructure and community benefits. The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s direction with respect to the appeals. The OMB has scheduled a Pre-Hearing on June 11, 2010. To date, the full hearing has not been scheduled.
This report recommends that the applicant’s zoning amendment application in its current form, be opposed at the OMB for the reasons set out in this report. This report also recommends that the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Director of Community Planning, Scarborough District, be authorized to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve the appeal if an alternative proposal is put forward by the applicant which would address the concerns and issues raised in this report, to the satisfaction of the City. |
