On the agenda

As the city filed it

At its meeting held on December 16, 17, and 18, 2020 City Council adopted Toronto and East York Community Council Item TE21.5 which recommended amendments to City of Toronto Zoning By-laws 438-86 and 569-2013 to permit redevelopment of 145-155 Balmoral Avenue as a retirement and nursing home for seniors in a 13-storey building. City Council enacted By-laws 815-2021, 816-2021 and 817-2021 to permit the development. It has come to City Planning's attention that two building setbacks were inadvertently omitted from the height map of the implementing By-laws.

The proposed technical amendments correct this oversight with explicit setback requirements from Balmoral Avenue and the south property line. Additionally, following more detailed site plan review of the building the owner has also requested minor reductions to the setback from the east property line so the setback will be 0.8 - 10.0 metres from the lot line (whereas the previous by-law required a 1.0-10.5 metre setback). The building has not changed in any material way from what was approved by City Council. It is therefore appropriate that the technical amendments as set out in this Motion be made to By-law 816-2021 and 817-2021 without the need for any further public notice. This is an urgent matter as the owner is preparing to begin construction and ambiguity in the Zoning By-law may introduce delay in obtaining building permits.
