Item - 2023.SC9.3

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to the subject lands at 1001 Ellesmere Road as generally illustrated on Attachment 1 to the report (October 31, 2023) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two years following enactment by City Council.

2. Prior to the enactment of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, City Council require the Owner to provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

3. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title.

4. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law as may be required.

This application requests exemption from Part Lot Control for a portion of 1001 Ellesmere Road to create 24 separately conveyable townhouse parcels. The subject lands comprise Block 3 within a plan of subdivision that was registered on June 12, 2019 (See Attachment 2: Plan of Subdivision 66M-2555). The subdivision also created an approximately 1,320 square metre new public park on Block 5 abutting the west end of the subject Block 3.

Part Lot Control Exemption applications previously approved within the same subdivision also established 45 townhouse lots within a common elements condominium on Block 1 and 22 standard townhouse lots on Block 2.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law for this final phase of residential site redevelopment. The proposal conforms with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The lifting of Part Lot Control for a period of two years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of the lands.
