Item - 2025.SC22.3

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law for the lands municipally known as 1555 Midland Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law included as Attachment 9 to the report (April 29, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District, and as generally illustrated on the Part Lot Control Exemption Plans on Attachments 2 through 8,  to the report (April 29, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two (2) years following enactment by City Council.

2. City Council require the Owner to provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, prior to the enactment of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law.

3. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on Title.

4. 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.

This Report recommends approval of the application to exempt the lands at 1555 Midland Avenue from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act. The application seeks to renew the existing Part Lot Control Exemption By-law 705-2023, set to expire in July 2025, for the remaining 30 units in Townhouse Blocks 12, 17, 22 and 23 on Registered Plan 66M-2579 which have yet to be sold. No changes are proposed to the initial Part Lot Control Application (2023 120780 ESC 21 PL) which was approved in July 2023 to facilitate the creation of 8 residential semi-detached lots and 95 townhouse parcels along with maintenance easements for a total of 103 conveyable parts.

This Part Lot Control Exemption Application is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands. The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2024) and  complies with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, The lifting of the Part Lot Control for a period of two years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of the lands.
