The City Planning Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

The Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District recommends that:

1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to the subject

lands at 111 Plunkett Road, substantially-in-accordance with the Draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law attached as Attachment 3, and as generally illustrated on the Part Lot Control Exemption Plan, Attachment 2, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two years following enactment by City Council.

2. Prior to the introduction of the Part Lot Control Exemption Bill for enactment, City

Council require the owner to:

a. provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor; and

b. provide a final Zoning Notice issued by the Toronto Building Division confirming that the 42 parcels comply with the applicable zoning, to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.

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 application is requesting exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the

Planning Act for the lands municipally known as 111 Plunkett Road, formerly known as 135 Plunkett Road. The purpose of this application is to facilitate the creation of 42 separately conveyable parcels, each containing one semi-detached residential dwelling unit. The remainder of the subdivision, including the existing public right-of-way, public walkway, and separate development block (Phase 2, currently addressed as 135 Plunkett Road) would remain unchanged.

The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020), and conforms to the Official Plan. The lifting of Part Lot Control is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands into a residential community with 42 semi-detached houses, as determined through the June 28, 2019 Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), now known as the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT), approval of the zoning by-law amendment (13 162096 WET 07 OZ) and subdivision (13 162112 WET 07 SB) applications for the subject lands.

Pursuant to these approvals, 21 residential parcels currently exist on-site. Each of these parcels contains the foundations of two semi-detached residential dwellings, for a total of 42 units. Now that the foundations are laid and the exact division line is surveyable between each unit, the applicant has come forward with this application for Part Lot Control Exemption. Provisions have already been made for adequate servicing, infrastructure, and the public right-of-way to serve the 42 homes within the subdivision area through the review of previous Planning Act applications.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law to be in effect for a maximum of two years. We anticipate that the development of the subject lands will be fully complete within the two year time period that this Part Lot Control Exemption By-law is in effect.

The City Planning Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

The Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District recommends that:

2. In the event that the Ontario Land Tribunal allows the appeals, in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request that the issuance of any final Order(s) be withheld until such time as the City Solicitor advises that:

3. Etobicoke York Community Council delete the existing compulsory stop control in Schedule XXVII: Compulsory Stops, from the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, for eastbound traffic on Westbury Avenue and Bicknell Avenue and replace it with a compulsory stop control for eastbound traffic on Westbury Crescent and Bicknell Avenue.
