23 Spadina Avenue - Zoning By-law Amendment - Further Direction - by Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton

Municipal Board approved the application and withheld its order pending the final form of the zoning by-law amendment to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor, that a Section 37 agreement had been registered and confirmation that outstanding items related to servicing had been addressed to the satisfaction of Engineering and Construction Services. At its meeting of July 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 30, 2018, City Council adopted Item MM44.37 that authorized the City Solicitor and City staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in support of revisions to the proposed development and authorized the City Solicitor to enter into an agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act. The community benefits recommended to be secured in the Section 37 agreement included a total cash contribution of $7,150,000.00 of which $700,000.00 was to be allocated to Wigwamen for the provision of new affordable housing on their site at 14 Spadina Road. City staff are currently finalizing the Section 37 agreement and zoning by-law amendment to be submitted to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal for final approval. This Motion seeks to permit the Section 37 community benefit of $700,000.00 currently allocated to Wigwamen for affordable housing at 14 Spadina Road, to be allocated towards affordable housing as part of the Alexandra Park and Atkinson Housing Co-operative Revitalization. Equivalent funds for Wigwamen have already been received from other developments and as a result are not needed from 23 Spadina Avenue. This Motion is urgent in order to allow for finalizing the Section 37 agreement prior to final approval by the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal, and to permit for the planning and budgeting of next phases of the Alexandra Park Revitalization to advance without delay.

now reads: 2. c. direct the $700,000.00 cash contribution for the provision of new affordable housing in Ward 10 authorized to be secured by Part 1.a.1C of City Council's decision on Item TE18.8 to be allocated towards the provision of new affordable housing units as part of the Alexandra Park and Atkinson Housing Co-operative Revitalization to be directed to the Capital Revolving Fund for Affordable Housing, in consultation with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the Ward Councillor.
