North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 405 and 415 Mount Pleasant Road and 323, 323R, 325, 327 and 329 Balliol Street substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 6 to the report (February 5, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.

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

The North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on February 22, 2024, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit an outdoor sports and recreation field at 405 and 415 Mount Pleasant Road and 323, 323R, 325, 327 and 329 Balliol Street for Greenwood College School located at 443 Mount Pleasant Road.

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). It also conforms with the Official Plan and the Yonge Eglinton Secondary Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposed development represents an appropriate use of the subject lands as it is a permitted use under the Official Plan and the Yonge Eglinton Secondary Plan, and allows for additional amenity space to be used by students attending Greenwood College School.
