North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625, as amended, for the lands at  1755 Steeles Avenue West substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 5 to this report (April 29, 2021) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District.

2. City Council withhold the final bills until such time as the applicant has provided an acknowledgement and undertaking to the City regarding necessary infrastructure upgrades, to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and the City Solicitor.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on May 21, 2021 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the zoning by-law to permit a private wastewater treatment facility at 1755 Steeles Avenue West. Also proposed is a modification of the holding  provision with respect to the infrastructure required to service the site.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms  with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020).

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law and an amendment to the holding provision on the site. The wastewater treatment facility will reduce water consumption and sanitary discharge on the site and it has been demonstrated that the necessary infrastructure to service the site in the short-term is available.
