The Part Lot Control Exemption Application (the "Application") applies to the lands identified as Blocks 1 and 2 on Plan 66M-2577 and known as Phase 1E of the Lawrence Heights Revitalization Project (Attachment 4) (related Site Plan Application No: 17 222387 NNY 15 SA).

The Application proposes to permit the creation of the following:

- parcels intended to be future Parcels of Tied Lands (POTL) for 36 market freehold townhouses being Parts 1 to 36 on the draft R-Plan attached as Attachment 3 and associated common elements intended for a future common element condominium being Parts 37 to 39, 45 and 50;

- parcels intended for the creation of 18 three-storey back-to-back stacked townhouses being Part 40 and associated outdoor space being Part 41 intended to be a future standard condominium;

- parcels intended for 27 rental back-to-back townhouses being Parts 42, 44 and 47 and associated outdoor space being Parts 43, 48 and 49) retained by Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC); and

- various easements to be created over Parts 37, 38, 39, 41, 43, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51, including over a private lane in the form of a future common elements road being Part 39.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) and conforms to the Official Plan. The lifting of Part Lot Control is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands.

A Common Elements Condominium application to create a common elements condominium over the private lane and other common elements, being Parts 1 to 36, and to tie the Market Freehold Townhouses as POTLs to the private lane, starting at the northeastern portion of the block and ending at the southeastern and eastern portions of the block as well as other common elements (including Parts 37, 38, 45 and 50) will be submitted in the future.

The applicant recently made a resubmission of additional information in support of this application on March 10, 2022. The owner and TCHC both require a Part Lot Control Exemption and the applicant has provided a draft R-Plan and colour coded draft R-Plan (Attachment 3) delineating the parts that will be subject to various easements within the Phase 1E lands, being Block 1 and Block 2 on Plan 66M-2577.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law. In addition, this report recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act against the subject lands, described in Schedule "A" in attachment 6 to this report, whereby the owner agrees not to convey or mortgage any part of the lands without prior consent of the Chief Planner or his designate.
