Item - 2025.TE20.14

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law for part of the lands municipally known as 1245 Dupont Street as generally illustrated on Attachment 1 (the "Lands") to the report (February 3, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and as described in Schedule A to Attachment 3, substantially in accordance with the Draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law included as Attachment 3 to the report (February 3, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

2. Prior to enactment of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, City Council require the owner to provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the Lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

3. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title to the Lands municipally known as 1245 Dupont Street.

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.

5. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to take the necessary steps to release, or partially release, the Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act from title to all or a portion of the Lands in the City Solicitor's sole discretion upon the expiry or repeal of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, after consulting with the Executive Director, Development Review.

In 2018, an application was submitted to permit an exemption from Part Lot Control for part of the lands municipally known as 1245 Dupont Street. On February 26, 2020, City Council enacted By-law 235-2020 exempting part of the lands at 1245 Dupont Street from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act for 5 years to facilitate development and to implement the necessary land transactions. By-law 235-2020 will expire on February 26, 2025.

This report reviews and recommends that a new Part Lot Control Exemption By-Law be enacted, to extend the period of exemption from Part Lot Control for part of the lands at 1245 Dupont Street for a further three years. This will allow for the severance of lots, completion of the construction of the community centre, and associated transactions including conveying a City park. The lifting of Part Lot Control for a further period of three years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of lands.
