30 and 44 Zorra Street - Zoning Amendment Application - Further Request for Direction

On May 26, 2017, the Former Owner appealed the Application to the Ontario Municipal Board (the "OMB"), now known at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT"), due to City Council's failure to make a decision. In September 2017, the Applicant entered into a conditional agreement to purchase the Subject Lands from the Former Owner and assumed the Application and the appeal. On July 23, 2018, City Council adopted recommendation from the City Solicitor to accept a settlement offer dated March 2, 2018 (the "Settlement Offer") and authorized the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff to attend the LPAT hearing in support of the revised proposal of a 35-storey residential building containing 423 units, as detailed in the Settlement Offer. City Council also accepted an on-site parkland dedication, approved a development charge credit, and authorized the City Solicitor to enter into an agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act. As was instructed by City Council on July 23, 2018, the Section 37 agreement will secure a cash contribution of $1,370,000.00, on-site parkland dedication with base improvements, the development charge credit, an acknowledgement by the City that any parkland dedication overage may be used for parkland dedication credit for development applications related to specified sites, and the future conveyance for public road purpose of approximately 733.4 square metres of land to the City for the future extension of Caven Street. The future extension of Caven Street will be designed to the City's DIPS standards. At such time as the City requires the future Caven Street to be assumed as a public road, the road will either form part of a future through public road connection to the west or, if the western connection is not achieved, it will alternatively be required to terminate at a properly-designed DIPS turning basin prior to becoming a public road. On November 9, 2018, the City Solicitor and City Staff attended the settlement hearing before the LPAT. On December 6, 2018, the LPAT issued a written decision approving the Application. The LPAT is withholding its order pending notification from the City Solicitor that the requisite conditions have been satisfied. The purpose of this report is to request further instructions. City Planning has been involved in the preparation of this report.
