On the agenda
As the city filed it
In an Order dated October 23, 2020, the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal approved an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 37-Storey residential building. As part of the approval of the application, a Section 37 agreement was registered on title to secure provision of financial contributions, facilities, services, and other matters. Part of the Agreement required the owner to construct an accessible ramp and staircase to provide access from the site and nearby streets down to Bayview Avenue.

The ramp is currently in the final stages of construction, however the construction of the staircase would necessitate a more elaborate construction than was originally contemplated due to the slope of the ravine, and require the relocation of utilities including Toronto Water infrastructure, and Enbridge Gas lines. In lieu of constructing the staircase, the owner has agreed to provide a cash contribution. City Planning is supportive of the amendments to the Section 37 Agreement and is satisfied that the ramp being constructed will provide access to Bayview Avenue in a manner that was originally contemplated during the approval of the development application. This is an urgent matter since registration of the condominium is imminent and obligations associated with site construction need to be resolved.
