The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council approve the application to demolish the vacant non-residential two-storey building with the following conditions:

a. Hoarding be installed to secure the property once the demolition work is completed. To reduce graffiti and to beautify the streetscape the applicant in collaboration with the Councillor's office will commission a mural for the hoarding;

b. All debris and rubble be removed immediately after demolition and the site be maintained; and

c. Any holes on the property are backfilled with clean fill.

This staff report is about a matter that shall be referred to City Council for consideration and final decision in respect of the former City of York By-law 3102-95.

In accordance with City of York, Special Demolition Control By-law 3102-95 and the City of York Act 1994 (Number 2), the application for demolition of an existing vacant two-storey non-residential building located on the lands municipally known as 971 Weston Road is being referred to City Council to refuse or grant the demolition application, including any conditions to be attached to the permit, because a building permit has not been issued for a replacement building.
