The decision

2022-07-19 · Toronto City Council · adopted

As filed

City Council on July 19, 20, 21 and 22, 2022, adopted the following: 1. City Council, pursuant to Subsection 45(1.4) of the Planning Act, permit an application for minor variances with respect to the property municipally known as 33-45 Avenue Road and 136-148 Yorkville Avenue for relief from site-specific Zoning By-law 687-2021, in order to vary development standards related to building height on the development site.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

In 2021, Zoning By-law 569-2013 was amended to permit a mixed-use development on the property municipally known as 33-45 Avenue Road and 136-148 Yorkville Avenue, consisting of a 29-storey tower with an overall permitted height of 125.1 metres. The applicant has since requested minor changes to the height regulated by the By-law as a result of construction related matters, without any corresponding increase in the gross floor area, and is seeking variances to permit this additional height.

This Motion is urgent because construction is set to begin. City Council's authorization for submission of a minor variance application is required to allow this project to proceed to the next stage of the Site Plan Application process. This resolution is not intended to, and does not, relay City Council's endorsement of the merits of the minor variance application, but simply ensures that the applicant can continue to advance staff review and planning approvals in a timely manner during the Council election break.
