The applicant would like to demolish the 15 rental dwelling units before the issuance of Notice of Approval Conditions and excavation and shoring permits for the approved development. The tenants have moved out and have received tenant assistance and compensation, and the rental units are currently vacant. This motion will enable the earlier demolition of 824 Sheppard Avenue West to allow more expedited construction timelines for the project and reduce the anticipated displacement period for tenants. Development Review staff support the proposed amendments to the conditions.
