The decision

2025-10-08 · Toronto City Council · adopted

As filed

City Council on October 8 and 9, 2025, adopted the following: 1. City Council rescind its previous decision on Item 2025.SC22.3. 2. City Council repeal Part Lot Control Exemption By-law 487-2025.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

On May 21 and 22, 2025, City Council adopted recommendations to enact a part-lot control exemption by-law for 1555 Midland Avenue. ( Item - 2025.SC22.3 ) City of Toronto By-law 487-2025 was enacted on May 22, 2025. A restriction under section 118 of the Land Titles Act is typically placed on the lands to ensure orderly development and subdivision. This requirement was inadvertently omitted from the Council recommendation for 1555 Midland Avenue in Council Agenda Item 2025.SC22.3.

This motion would correct the omission by repealing the previously enacted by-law. Additionally, the applicant advised the City that an exemption from part-lot control is no longer necessary for land division of 1555 Midland Avenue. This motion is urgent because a section 118 restriction was not placed on the lands prior to the time of the by-law enactment. There is the potential for problematic land division and planning outcomes if the by-law is not revoked. Moreover, the applicant no longer requires it, which means there should not be an open and available exemption from land division rules that could cause issues with title and planning for those lands.

Staff recommended

Councillor Michael Thompson, seconded by Councillor Paul Ainslie, recommends that: 1. City Council rescind its previous decision on Item 2025.SC22.3. 2. City Council repeal Part Lot Control Exemption By-law 487-2025.
