Preliminary Report - Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision Applications - 2654 to 2668 Bayview Avenue

Due to the timing of the Zoning By-law Amendment application submission, the proposal would have been able to have been appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal due to a lack of decision during the election break in Council's meeting schedule (July to December 2018). The report set out the preliminary issues related to the application and made an initial determination as to whether or not the application was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conformed with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). A Community Consultation Meeting for the 2018 proposal was not held as the applicant indicated they were looking to acquire additional properties and revise their proposal. Since the time of the original submission, the application has been revised to include an additional property at 2668 Bayview Avenue, as well to include an application for Draft Plan of Subdivision. The revised application now proposes twelve, 3-storey townhouse dwelling units fronting onto Bayview Avenue and five, 2 1/2-storey detached dwelling units at the rear of the site accessed via a new public street on the lands municipally known as 2654-2668 Bayview Avenue. This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the revised application located at 2654-2668 Bayview Avenue. Staff are currently reviewing the application which has been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Staff are targeting a Community Consultation Meeting for Q4 2020.
