Decision Advice and Other Information
North York Community Council:
1. Directed the Director, Community Planning, North York District, to report directly to City Council at its meeting of July 16 and 17, 2019, with an Interim Request for Direction Report regarding the June 21, 2019 resubmission of a re-zoning application for 25 Fisherville Road to the City Planning Division.
Origin
Summary
A re-zoning application was deemed complete by the Director, Community Planning, North York District on September 14, 2018 for 25 Fisherville Road to construct two new 18-storey residential apartment buildings beside an existing 18 storey apartment building on site, which would be maintained in place. Pursuant to the adoption of Item NY3.3 on February 26, 2019, City Council directed staff to continue negotiations with the owner/applicant regarding the proposal and to oppose the application, in what was then its form, in the event of an appeal by the owner/applicant to the LPAT.
I understand that on June 21, 2019 the owner/applicant submitted a with prejudice resubmission to staff for their consideration with the caveat that the resubmission was premised on City Council receiving a Final Report from staff with respect to the resubmission prior to the October 2, 2019 City Council meeting.
In order for City Council to provide staff with directions regarding a potential appeal of the re-zoning application, as resubmitted, to the LPAT over the summer break, it's necessary for a Request for an Interim Directions Report to be submitted directly to the July 16, 2019, agenda of City Council to address the resubmission.
