Feasibility of Rezoning 467 Spadina Road for a Multi-unit Apartment - by Councillor Josh Matlow, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton

That developer, however, did not follow through on their plans and sold the property. Earlier this year, Councillor Matlow's office and City Planning were approached by the new owner of the property stating their intention to revitalize the building and convert it back to a 17-unit apartment. It was determined by City Building that the applicant would have to go through Committee of Adjustment to change the project back to an apartment building after the previous two-unit project. Despite having support from City Planning and Councillor Matlow's office, the applicant deferred their August 2021 Committee of Adjustment date stating in the Toronto Star that they now believed it would be more financially advantageous to pursue the two-unit plan. Recently, the owner has put the property back on the market. This Motion requests City Staff to report on any zoning amendments required to "legalize" the existing apartment to send as strong a signal as possible to both the current owner, and any prospective one, that the City of Toronto strongly supports a multi-unit apartment at 467 Spadina Road.
