Community Council Recommendations
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council amend the Official Plan, to add that part of 255 Avenue Road, shown as Part 1 in Attachment 2, (being part of Lot 4 on Registered Plan 166E) to the list of properties in Site and Area Specific Policy No. 265 substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment in Attachment 6 to the report (October 18, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.
2. City Council authorizes the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Official Plan Amendment as may be required.
Origin
Summary
This application proposes an Official Plan Amendment for a portion of 255 Avenue Road, a City owned park known as Jay Macpherson Green, to allow for a permanent easement by Enbridge Gas Distribution for the potential relocation of a natural gas district station ("station box") from the Macpherson Avenue right-of-way into the park.
An Official Plan Amendment is required because locating the station box in the park requires an easement over lands that are designated as Parks and Open Space Areas in the Official Plan. The establishment of a permanent easement is a form of disposition. The sale or disposal of City owned lands in the Green Space System and Parks and Open Space Areas is prohibited by Official Plan policies.
Site and Area Specific Policy No. 265 (SASP No. 265) of the Official Plan identifies certain lands whereby the provisions of the Official Plan prohibiting the disposal of City owned land in the Green Space System and Parks and Open Space Areas do not apply. An Official Plan Amendment would add a portion of 255 Avenue Road to the list of properties in SASP No. 265.
The proposed application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019).
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan for the purpose stated.
