2650-2672 St. Clair Avenue West - Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision Applications - Request for Directions

Concurrently, the City Solicitor obtained instructions from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to attend the OLT hearing to oppose the appeal respecting the associated Draft Plan of Subdivision application. On September 22, 2020, Dunpar submitted an Official Plan Amendment application proposing to amend Chapter 7, Site and Area Specific Policies, Policy No. 540 and Schedule 2 of the Official Plan "The Designation Of Planned But Unbuilt Road" to change the requirement for a public road on the subject site to a private road. On February 17, 2021, Dunpar appealed its Official Plan Amendment application to the OLT. The appeal was made without revisions to the original proposal and citing Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the timeframe prescribed by the Planning Act. This appeal was consolidated with the appeals of the applications for Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision for the subject site at the OLT. On February 25, 2021, the applicant submitted a Right of Way Plan, prepared by Dunpar, dated February 18, 2021 for the property municipally known as 2650-2672 St. Clair Avenue West, showing a private road on the westerly portion of the subject site (Public Attachment 1). On October 8, 2021, the applicant submitted drawings in support of a further revised proposal on a with prejudice basis. Those drawings were further revised and resubmitted on or around October 19, 2021, along with the architectural plans prepared by Dunpar and dated October 14, 2021, on a with prejudice basis as a part of a formal submission to the City. The purpose of this report is to request further instructions in respect of this matter prior to the OLT hearing that is scheduled to commence on November 29, 2021.
