6a - 321 Davenport Rd - Zoning Amendment Application - Request for Direction Report
Origin
Summary
This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit an 8-storey apartment building containing 16 residential units at 321 Davenport Road.
On June 13, 2017, Toronto and East York Community Council commenced a statutory public meeting on the application, which it adjourned until September 6. Community Council also requested Urban Forestry staff to conduct a review of all trees abutting the site and report to the September 6 meeting. Further, Community Council requested Community Planning staff to organize a meeting with adjacent residents and the applicant to consider the findings of Urban Forestry's review and potential changes to the application to retain as many trees as possible, as well as improve privacy and setback issues for adjacent neighbours.
On June 22, 2017, the applicant filed an appeal of the Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Municipal Board, citing Council's failure to make a decision on the application with the respective timeframe prescribed by the Planning Act. No prehearing date has been set.
This report recommends that the City Solicitor and appropriate staff attend the Ontario Municipal Board to support the application to amend the Zoning By-law, and be authorized to continue discussions with adjacent residents and the applicant regarding the impact on trees as well as privacy and setback issues during the appeal process at the Ontario Municipal Board.
