Item - 2022.EY32.1

The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council amend Zoning By-law 814-2021, as amended by By-law 938-2021, to remove the Holding Symbol (H) from Area B, in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 2 to the report (May 13, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.

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

3. City Council direct the City Solicitor to withhold the Bill until such time as the Section 37 Agreement has been executed and registered on title satisfactory to the City Solicitor and Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.

This application proposes to lift the Holding (H) symbol for Area B identified in site-specific Zoning By-law 814-2021, as amended by By-law 938-2022. This amendment will allow for development within Area B of the Trillium Health Partners Queensway Hospital site, which includes the development of a nine-storey hospital building and a new central utility plant at 140, 150, 160, 170, 190 and 220 Sherway Drive. 

The holding provisions of Zoning By-law 814-2021 require that prior to lifting the Holding (H) symbol on Area B, the owner must satisfy conditions related to a vehicular connection to The Queensway from the subject site, a resubmission and acceptance of engineering reports related to water capacity and updates that include the new Central Utility Plan and the owner entering into a Section 37 Agreement that secures obligations related to the proposal on the site and future phases of development.

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 City's Official Plan and the Sherway Area Secondary Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend site specific Zoning By-law 814-2021, as amended, to lift the Holding (H) symbol from Area B.
