On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report proposes a series of zoning by-law amendments to facilitate the delivery of Metrolinx's Ontario Line (OL) project. The purpose of these amendments is to provide relief from certain zoning by-law provisions related to transportation uses for lands to be acquired by Metrolinx to accommodate OL project elements. The zoning by-law amendments affect lands which will accommodate transit facilities such as emergency exit buildings, emergency service buildings, traction power substations, operations and maintenance storage facilities, ventilation shaft buildings, transit station entrance buildings and temporary facilities required for construction.

The amendments would apply to transportation uses only and are consistent with Official Plan and zoning policies. None of the proposed amendments reduce zoning permissions on abutting lands, nor will the amendments impact other uses permitted on properties affected by the amendments.
