On the agenda

As the city filed it

In July 2018, City Council considered a package of Zoning By-law amendments related to the delivery of the under construction Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit ("LRT") and the forthcoming Finch West LRT. These amendments were brought to Council after being considered and adopted at the Planning and Growth Management Committee through Item PG30.3. At the July 2018 City Council meeting, proposed amendments to Zoning By-law 569-2013 and former City of North York By-law 7625 affecting the property at 11 Four Winds Drive (the "Zoning By-law Amendments") were deleted from the draft by-laws in order for City staff and the Ward Councillor to continue discussions with Metrolinx regarding the location of a traction power substation (TPSS) that is required to provide consistent power for the light rail vehicles.

Since 2018, detailed design has progressed on the Finch West LRT station and 11 Four Winds Drive is now also proposed to house an emergency exit building (EEB) in addition to the TPSS. Several meetings have taken place between Metrolinx, the Ward Councillor and City staff in regards to 11 Four Winds Drive. Metrolinx has most recently informed that the project schedule will be impacted if the Zoning By-law Amendments are not secured, thus exposing the project to a potential claim from the Mosaic Transit Constructors. As a result it was agreed that the Zoning By-law Amendments affecting the property at 11 Four Winds Drive should now be returned to Council for a decision. The currently proposed Zoning By-law Amendments are the same amendments that were previously considered in, and deleted from, Item PG30.3. Therefore, no revisions to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments have been made. City Planning recommends that Council adopt the proposed zoning by-law amendments.
