Origin
Summary
This application proposes to amend the former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625 and site-specific Zoning By-law 338-2015 to remove the Holding (H) Symbol for the lands currently zoned RM6(227)(H). This zone permits a 9-storey, 91-unit, midrise building with live/work units on the ground floor and residential units above.
The existing site-specific Zoning By-law contains a Holding (H) symbol due to existing sanitary capacity issues. A solution for the sanitary capacity issues has been identified and the contract for the works has been awarded. As such, the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services is satisfied that the works will be completed before occupancy of this project and is satisfied that the Hold can be removed.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to lift the Holding (H) Symbol for the lands at 719 Sheppard Avenue West.
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). The redevelopment proposal is in keeping with the Official Plan and the Sheppard West/Dublin Secondary Plan. By removing the Hold the Council-approved development can proceed.
