On the agenda
As the city filed it
This combined application proposes to amend Official Plan policies and Zoning By-laws applicable to the lands at 2 Sandfield Road to permit a seven-unit townhouse block fronting York Mills Road. The proposed townhouse block would be three storeys in height with a total gross floor area of 2,066.6 square metres (including the basement) and a floor space index of 1.3 times the area of the lot. Vehicular access would be provided from Sandfield Road.

The existing detached dwelling fronting Sandfield Road would be demolished. The proposed building type and orientation, lot pattern and zoning provisions are not in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood, or the policies of the Official Plan. The proposal would not respect and reinforce the existing physical character of the geographic neighbourhood. This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. This report also seeks City Council's direction for the City Solicitor, together with the appropriate City staff, to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing to oppose the application in the event that it is appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.
