Item - 2022.NY33.12

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended by By-law 926-2019, for the lands at 110 and 112 Sheppard Avenue West, substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment in Attachment 6 to the report (June 1, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.

2. City Council amend Zoning By-law 7625, as amended by By-law 927-2019, for the lands at 110 and 112 Sheppard Avenue West, substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment in Attachment 7 to the report (June 1, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required.

This application proposes to remove the Holding (H) symbol for the lands municipally known as 110 and 112 Sheppard Avenue West. Removal of the Holding (H) symbol would allow for the development of a 6-storey residential building containing 30 units to proceed on the site.

The existing site-specific Zoning By-laws contain a Holding (H) symbol due to existing sanitary capacity issues on Sheppard Avenue West. A solution for the sanitary capacity issues that does not rely on municipal infrastructure improvements has been identified and accepted. The Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, the City Solicitor, and the Director, Community Planning, North York District are satisfied that the Holding (H) symbol can be removed.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to remove the Holding (H) symbol for the lands at 110 and 112 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). By removing the Holding (H) symbol, the City Council-approved development can proceed.
