2. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 665, 667, 669 and 671 Sheppard Avenue West substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 6 to the report (June 18, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 25, 2019 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes 39 five-storey, (excluding a rooftop terrace access), stacked, back-to-back townhouses, 7 three-storey, (excluding a rooftop terrace access), townhouses and 2 three-storey townhouses for a total of 48 units with 54 underground parking spaces at 665, 667, 669 and 671 Sheppard Avenue West.

The redevelopment proposal is in keeping with the Sheppard West/Dublin Secondary Plan, appropriately transitions to the abutting lower density residential uses, and improves the Sheppard Avenue West streetscape.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

This report also recommends a holding provision ("H") in the Zoning By-law, due to outstanding sanitary capacity issues, to be lifted at such a time as the sanitary servicing solution is acceptable, to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services.
