(June 26, 2025) Report from the Director, Community Planning, North York District
Summary

This Supplementary Report provides an update to the report titled 47 Stadacona Drive and 22, 24, 26 and 28 Richelieu Road – Zoning By-law Amendment – Decision Report – Approval, dated June 16, 2025, from the Director, Community Planning, North York District (Item NY25.2). The report recommends approval of the draft Zoning By-law Amendment for a proposed 12-storey (47.45 metres including the mechanical penthouse) mixed use building. The draft Zoning By-law Amendment included a holding (H) provision to ensure that the existing infrastructure can adequately support the development or that any required municipal infrastructure upgrades are implemented, and to ensure that an appropriate Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan is provided.

 

Since that report was finalized, Staff have received and reviewed additional information confirming that the proposed holding (H) provisions are no longer needed. This includes:

- a Functional Servicing Report dated May 9, 2025;

- a Stormwater Management Report dated May 9, 2025; and

- a letter from the applicant’s transportation consultant confirming revisions to the proposed TDM plan, dated June 25, 2025.

 

The draft Zoning By-law Amendment has been revised to remove the holding (H) provision. No further changes to the draft Zoning By-law or the applicant’s plans have been made.
