Amending Item 2022.TE34.11 - 40 Raglan Avenue - Zoning By-law Amendment and Rental Housing Demolition Applications - Final Report - by Councillor Josh Matlow, seconded by Councillor Alejandra Bravo

The staff report contained sufficient information and material to enable the public and Council to correctly understand the zoning proposal that was considered. Further, On July 19, 20, 21, and 22, City Council ( Agenda Item History - 2022.TE34.11 ) approved an on-site parkland dedication with a minimum size of 174 square metres at 40 Raglan Avenue. The parkland conveyance was tied to prior to the first above grade building permit, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks and Recreation. The parkland approved at 40 Raglan Avenue will mirror the adjacent parkland dedication at 32 Raglan Avenue. Initial conversations between the developers and Parks Development explored the idea of the Owner of 32 Raglan Avenue building out Base Park Improvements on both parkland dedications, with the Owner of 40 Raglan building out the Above Base Park Improvements for both parkland dedications. Due to recent legislative changes related to the payment timing of Development Charges, the Owner of 40 Raglan Avenue has since communicated that there is no longer any interest to design and construct the Above Base Park Improvements. Despite this, conveyance timing of the parkland requires adjustment to reflect what was agreed to in earlier negotiations in order to facilitate the development. This motion will authorize the adjustment of parkland conveyance from "prior to first above grade permit" to "prior to one (1) year following the issuance of the first Above-Grade Building Permit". This motion is urgent as the development is imminently moving towards construction. Requires Re-Opening: Toronto and East York Community Council Item 2022.TE34.11 (July 19, 20, 21 and 22, 2022, City Council meeting) only as it pertains to Part 5 and 11.
