On the agenda

As the city filed it

On December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, City Council approved Amending By-law 1107-2021 which amends Zoning By-law 569-2013 to further facilitate the construction of Laneway Suites. Staff have advised that the wording of regulation7(C) in Amending By-law 1107-2021, regarding side yard setbacks abutting the rear lot line of an adjacent residential lot, does not accurately reflect the intent of the Amending By-law as detailed in the Staff Report presented to City Council.

Provision 7(C) in Amending By-law 1107-2021 was intended to regulate only those properties where the side yard of a lot on which a Laneway Suite is proposed abuts the rear yard of an adjacent residential lot. Regulation 7(C) of Amending By-law 1107-2021 has the effect of requiring a side yard setback that is greater than intended for all lots on which a Laneway Suite is proposed. The proposed technical amendment resolves this overbreadth, consistent with staff's original intent, and ensures that the regulations in effect for Laneway Suites are consistent with City Council's decision on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021.

Staff recommended

Councillor Ana Bailao, seconded by Councillor Paula Fletcher, recommends that: 1. City Council enact the Zoning By-law amendments substantially in accordance with Attachment 1 to this Motion. 2. City Council determine that the revision is minor, technical in nature, and reflective of the intent of the staff report considered by City Council in Item 2022.PH.30.2, and, pursuant to subsection 34(17) of the Planning Act, no further public notice is required in respect of the proposed amendment to the Zoning By-law.
