Item - 2020.NY20.6

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to the subject lands at 15 Mallow Road, as generally illustrated on Attachment 3 to this report (November 12, 2020) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two years following enactment by City Council.

2. Prior to the introduction of the Part Lot Control Exemption Bill, City Council require the owner to:

a. provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, prior to the enactment of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law; and

b. register, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act agreeing not to transfer or charge any part of the subject lands described in Schedule “A” in Attachment 5 to this report (November 12, 2020) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District, without the written consent of the Chief Planner or his/her designate.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to take the necessary steps to release the Section 118 Restriction from all or any portion of the lands in the City Solicitor's sole discretion after consulting with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning at such a time as confirmation is received that the Common Elements Condominium has been registered.

4. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title.

5. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law as may be required.

This application is requesting exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act for a portion of the lands municipally known as 15 Mallow Road to facilitate the construction of 33 three-storey freehold townhouses with integral garages. An application for Draft Plan of Common Element Condominium (20 168572 NNY 16 CD) has also been submitted for approval in conjunction with this application. The common element condominium application is currently under review by the Chief Planner pursuant to the delegated approval under By-law 229-2000, which proposes to establish two private vehicular laneways and a pedestrian sidewalk.

The requested Part Lot Control Exemption is required to permit the creation of the 33 conveyable townhouse lots currently under construction, which will become the Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) to the Common Element Condominium.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020), and conforms to the Official Plan. The lifting of Part Lot Control is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands.

This reports reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law. Furthermore, this report recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Lands Titles Act against the subject lands, as descried in "Schedule A" in Attachment 5 of this report. This is to ensure the owner agrees to not convey or mortgage any part of the lands without prior consent of the Chief Planner or his designate.
