The subject lands must be within a registered plan of subdivision prior to the enactment of the Part Lot Control By-law. Since City Council's adoption of the item and its recommendations, the applicant has been working to satisfy conditions outlined in the Notice of Draft Plan of Subdivision for the site. There remain two outstanding conditions regarding the final design of street lighting to the satisfaction of Toronto Hydro. Nonetheless, by letter from Toronto Hydro to the applicant, dated January 27, 2020 Toronto Hydro has confirmed it does not object to the release of the final plan of subdivision for registration because the applicant has been actively working to provide an acceptable street lighting design. Toronto Hydro also notified the applicant, in the same letter, that it has not waived satisfaction of the requirements in the two outstanding conditions and the applicant is still responsible for satisfying Toronto Hydro in these matters. The final design of the street lighting has not been approved by Toronto Hydro. As a result, City Planning is requesting that City Council authorize the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, or designate, to use their discretion to withhold granting prior written consent to transfer or change any part of the subject lands if, in the opinion of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, the applicant has not made sufficient progress in satisfying Toronto Hydro at the time the applicant makes a request for the prior written consent of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to transfer or charge any part of the lands subject to the Part Lot Control By-law. No changes are being proposed to the development proposal itself.
