The Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on September 18, 2025, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report recommends City Council approve City-initiated Zoning By-law Amendments to revise various site specific Zoning By-laws for the purpose of re-allocating unspent Section 37 funds totaling $674,905.89. These funds were secured through the approval of Zoning By-law Amendments at the locations listed below:

-   Southwest and Southeast corner of McCowan Road and Finch Avenue East;

-   Southeast corner of Midland Avenue and McNicoll Avenue;

-   5789 Steeles Avenue East; and

-   1088 Progress Avenue.

If approved, the recommended Zoning By-law Amendments would permit the re-allocation of funds toward other capital facility improvements within general proximity of the sites subject to the original Zoning By-laws in Ward 23. No new development permissions are contemplated through the proposed amendments.
