Item - 2024.SC10.6

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to amend the Section 37 Agreement, dated December 7, 2015, between the owner and the City registered on title for the lands formerly known as 743 Warden Avenue (AT4254031), to adjust the construction phasing provisions to allow for concurrent construction of final phases on terms further set out in an amending agreement.

2. City Council authorize City officials to take such action as is necessary to implement the recommendations above, including execution of necessary agreement(s).

This report reviews a request from the owner of the subject lands to adjust terms of construction phasing secured as a legal convenience in a Section 37 agreement to facilitate timely construction of a previously approved residential development. The community benefits secured through the Section 37 Agreement are not subject to the proposed amendment.

A related application was received to lift the Holding symbol (H) for 743 Warden Avenue, specifically Blocks 6-8 on Registered Plan of Subdivision 66M-2549 that are subject to site specific Zoning By-law 528-2016 (OMB). Once satisfactory material has been submitted and the Hold is lifted, an accompanying amendment to the associated Section 37 Agreement is required.

This report recommends that City Council accept this request and authorize the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Chief Planner to amend the Section 37 Agreement registered on title for the lands formerly known as 743 Warden Avenue .
