Item - 2023.EY6.3

The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 at 408 Horner Avenue in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (May 31, 2023) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.

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

3. Before introducing the necessary Bill to City Council for enactment, require the

owner to:

a. submit an application requesting permission to injure or destroy protected trees to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation;

b. provide an acceptable Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan for tenants of the existing one rental dwelling unit proposed to be demolished, addressing financial compensation and other assistance to lessen hardship. The Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan shall be to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning; and

c. provide a legal undertaking to the City, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to secure the implementation of the Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan required in Recommendation 3.b. above.

The Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 19, 2023, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application is for a two-storey addition containing six units off the rear of an existing two-storey triplex at 408 Horner Avenue. The proposal would demolish one existing rental dwelling unit, and contain a total of nine dwelling units (seven new and two retained rental units), five parking spaces located at-grade, and a new rear yard outdoor amenity area.

The proposal represents a supportable level of low-rise intensification at this location along Horner Avenue within a Neighbourhoods designated area, while providing a built-form that addresses the surrounding context.
