Amending Item 2022.TE34.12 - 91-101 Raglan Avenue - Zoning Amendment and Rental Housing Applications - Final Report - by Councillor Josh Matlow, seconded by Councillor Rachel Chernos-Lin

The applicant has requested to demolish the 3 rental dwelling units located at 91-101 Raglan Avenue before the issuance of the excavation and shoring permits for the approved development. This would allow the construction of the proposed development to be expedited. All 3 rental units are currently vacant, and the applicant has indicated that they intend to move forward with this project immediately upon receiving the requested demolition permit which is otherwise ready to be issued. The reason for urgency is that the applicant currently has another under-construction project immediately south of this property (65 Raglan) and they have requested to use these subject lands for construction staging, which will limit any construction staging on the public right of way, the approval of which is a time sensitive matter.

City Council authorize the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to issue the Preliminary Approval for the Rental Housing Demolition Permit under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code pursuant to Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 for the demolition of the three (3) existing rental dwelling units located at 91-101 Raglan Avenue after all of the following have occurred: Part to be deleted: 1. c. the issuance of excavation and shoring permits (conditional or full permit) for the approved development on the lands.
