North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 25, 2019 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act. No one addressed the North York Community Council on June 25, 2019.

This application proposes to establish a rear drive aisle as a Common Elements Condominium at 2962A, 2962B, 2962C, 2966A, & 2966B Bayview Avenue. The Common Elements Condominium is required to provide legal pedestrian and vehicular access to five townhouses and to ensure shared ownership and maintenance of the common element rear drive aisle by the Common Elements Condominium corporation.

The requested exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act is required to permit the creation of conveyable lots for the five residential townhouses fronting on Bayview Avenue, which will become the Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) to the Common Elements Condominium.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The lifting of Part Lot Control and the creation of the Common Elements Condominium is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the Draft Plan of Common Elements Condominium and Part Lot Control Exemption By-law. In addition, this report recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act against each POTL appurtenant to the Common Elements Condominium, whereby the owner agrees not to convey or mortgage any part of the POTLs without prior consent of the Chief Planner or his designate, which may be provided following registration of the Common Elements Condominium.
