Origin
Summary
This application proposes to lift the Holding (H) symbol from the Parcel "1" lands identified in site-specific Zoning By-law 409-2013 (OMB) for the site at 2217 The Queensway. This amendment would allow for the development of two commercial buildings with a public road traversing between the buildings.
The Holding Provisions require that prior to lifting the Holding (H) symbol, the owner must satisfy the following four conditions for the subject lands: (a) confirmation that the lands meet all applicable statutory and regulatory environmental requirements for the development of the uses permitted; (b) confirmation that the owner has entered into a long-term easement agreement, satisfactory to the City, for access to The Queensway across the abutting hydro corridor; (c) confirmation that the owner can provide the required parking for its development by means of: i. a long-term lease, satisfactory to the City, for portions of the hydro corridor, and/or ii. a parking plan for surface and/or underground parking; and (d) the owner has entered into one or more agreements with the City, pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act to be registered on title to the lands shown as Parcel "1" on Schedule "A" of Zoning By-law 409-2013 (OMB), securing the matters set out in Section 4 of Zoning By-law 409-2013 (OMB). All four of these conditions have been satisfied.
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with A Place to Grow: The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend site-specific Zoning By-law 409-2013 (OMB) to lift the Holding (H) symbol.
