Item - 2023.TE9.22

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to the lands at 276-294 Main Street, as generally illustrated on Attachment 2 to the report (October 30, 2023) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York 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 introduction of the necessary bill(s) to City Council for enactment of a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, City Council require the owner to:

a. provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor; and

b. register, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act agreeing not to convey or charge any part of the lands described in Schedule A in Attachment 3 to the report (October 30, 2023) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District without the written consent of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning or their designate.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to take the necessary steps to release the Section 118 Restriction from all or any portion of the lands in the City Solicitor's sole discretion after consulting with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, but in any event, only after the owner provides fully executed copies of a certificate from the applicant’s solicitor with respect to the creation of necessary easements.

4. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title to the lands or any portion thereof against which the Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act has been registered.

5. 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.

6. City Council authorize City staff to take necessary steps, including the execution of agreements and documents which set out the implementation of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, to give effect to City Council's decision.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption application at 276-294 Main Street, to permit the division of the site into four lots and to transfer ownership into stratified parcels.

The Part Lot Control Exemption application implements the site-specific Zoning By-law and Site Plan approval for the site and is associated with a Standard Condominium application for the residential component of the development. This report also recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act against the lands to ensure that no part of the lands can be conveyed or mortgaged without prior consent of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning
