Summary

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction for the City Solicitor and other appropriate Staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") in support of the appeal of the Zoning By-law Amendment application for 2996 Weston Road.

                  

An application to amend the former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625 and City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 respectively was submitted on May 10, 2018 with respect to the lands located at 2996 Weston Road to permit five 3-storey single-detached dwellings. 

 

City Council at its meeting on September 30, October 1 and 2, 2020 adopted By-law 843-2020 and By-law 844-2020 amending the former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625 and City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 respectively.  On November 4, 2020 the applicant filed an appeal to City Council's decision related to the proposed amendment to City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 via By-law 844-2020 requesting a reduction in the west side yard setback for Lot 5. The side yard setback on the west side of Lot 5 was approved as 11.75 metres as shown on Diagram 5 of By-law 844-2020.  The applicant has requested to reduce the setback to 1.8 metres to accommodate a larger dwelling on Lot 5.  No changes are proposed to By-law 843-2020.

 

The revised proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) and Neighbourhood policies of the Official Plan.

 

This report recommends that City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to support the revised proposal at the LPAT, as per the revised Zoning By-law amendment.
