Additionally, provisions related to building height, first floor height, building setbacks and encroachments have been slightly modified. The changes can be summarized as follows: building height was revised to clarify the maximum building height to permit the height of the mechanical penthouse level, provision (F) is modified to align with the Zoning By-law definition for the functional operation of the building, a new Provision was added to exempt the site from a landscaping setback at the rear due to the proposal not providing landscaping next to the existing laneway, a provision was added to building setbacks and encroachments to identify the correct provisions, a new Provision is added related to accessible parking width due to the Provision in Zoning By-law 569-2013 related to accessible parking width being under appeal, and a new Provision is added related to the location of accessible parking in the underground parking. The built form for a 16-storey mixed use building approved by City Council through the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment on September 9, 2024, remains the same. Reason for Urgency: This motion is urgent in order to advance permissions for housing and community infrastructure and resolve appeals related to the Yonge North Secondary Plan. When adopted on September 5, 2024, the bills were withheld to resolve outstanding technical matters, and requiring the applicant to withdraw their appeal of the Yonge North Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 615) (By-law1016-2022). These technical matters have been resolved and the applicant has confirmed withdrawing the appeal of the Yonge North Secondary Plan.
