Item - 2024.SC14.4

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 3000, 3004, 3008, 3012 and 3020 Kennedy Road substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (May 27, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough 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 Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 12, 2024, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the construction of 171 residential units within three-storey stacked and back-to-back townhouse buildings, with a total gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 17,950 square metres. The townhouse buildings are organized into nine blocks, with a total of 175 at grade vehicular parking spaces and 48 bicycle parking spaces at 3000, 3004, 3008, 3012 and 3020 Kennedy 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). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law what will include a Holding provision (H). This Holding provision is to remain in place and restrict development on the site until such time as the owner, at its sole cost and expense, has resolved outstanding servicing and stormwater management issues.

This report also makes note that a Draft Plan of Subdivision application has been submitted for the subject site, which pertains to create a new public east-west road connecting Fort Dearborn Drive to Kennedy Road. At this time, this report is only recommending approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment as the Draft Plan of Subdivision submission is still under review.

The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the feedback received from the community consultation meeting held on June 5, 2024.
