Item - 2021.SC25.5

Scarborough Community Council directed that:

1. Staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the application located at 113 to 141 Montezuma Trail together with the Ward Councillor.

2. Staff provide notice for the community consultation meeting to landowners and residents within 300 metres of the application site, and to additional residents, institutions and owners to be determined in consultation with the Ward Councillor, with any additional mailing costs to be borne by the applicant.

This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the application located at 113 to 141 Montezuma Trail. The proposal seeks to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the development of the southern portion of the lands with two rows of back-to-back townhouses totalling 44 dwelling units and three retail units fronting onto Montezuma Trail.

A previous application to rezone the north part of the subject lands was approved by City Council in 2019 to permit the development of 37 dwelling units, retaining a portion of the existing plaza on the southern portion site. This approved development has yet to be constructed. The application subject to this report proposes to demolish the existing plaza including the portion to be retained under the 2019 approval, but does not contemplate any other adjustments to the previously enacted Zoning By-law.

Staff are currently reviewing this application. It has been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application with the Ward Councillor.
