City Council enacted By-law 251-2022 at its meeting on March 9, 2022 to permit the development. Additional technical and stylistic amendments are required to correct errors and omissions that have come to City Planning's attention since the By-law was enacted, which include modifications to permitted height encroachments in accordance with City Planning's standard practice, correction to the required minimum above-ground distance between two main walls with windows, modifications to a required soft landscaping strip, and corrections to parking/drive aisle standards. City Planning is of the opinion that the technical amendments to By-law 251-2022 as set out in the Recommendations are appropriate, are good planning and do not require any further public notice. This Motion is urgent as the by-law was enacted over a year ago and further delay may cause hardship to the applicant.
