Item - 2020.SC12.9

Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to the subject lands at 10, 12, 16, 18, 20 and 22 Bluebird Place (Lots 1, 2 and 3 on Plan 66M-2540) as generally illustrated on Attachment 2 to the report dated November 27, 2019, from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire one year following enactment by City Council.

2. City Council require the owner to 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.

3. Prior to the introduction of the Part Lot Control Exemption Bill, City Council require the owner to register, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act, with priority, agreeing not to transfer or charge any part of the lands subject to the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law without the written consent of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning or their designate.

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.

6. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to release, or partially release, the Section 118 Restriction from title to all or a portion of the lands in her sole discretion after consulting with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.

This application requests exemption from Part Lot Control for 10, 12, 16, 18, 20 and 22 Bluebird Place (lands formerly known as 67 Kirkdene Drive) to create six (6) conveyable lots with a semi-detached dwelling unit on each lot.

The subject lands were part of a subdivision application that was approved for 6 semi-detached dwellings fronting onto a new public road. The plan of subdivision was registered on August 30, 2017 as Plan 66M-2540.

A previous application for Part Lot Control Exemption for the lots legally described as Lots 1-3 (all inclusive) on Plan 66M-2540 was approved by Council on April 24, 2018, and enacted through By-law 1073-2018 on July 27, 2018. The Part Lot Control By-law subsequently expired on July 27, 2019, however Lots 1 and 2 have yet to be sold and conveyed to their future purchasers, and the whole of Lot 3 was incorrectly conveyed to a single purchaser. As a result, a new Part Lot Control Exemption application is required for all the original lots (1-3) on Plan 66M-2540, to permit the creation of conveyable lots.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law. The proposal complies with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The lifting of the Part Lot Control for a period of one year is considered appropriate for the orderly development of the lands.
