On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report proposes City-initiated Zoning By-law amendments to facilitate the delivery of the Yonge North Subway Extension (YNSE) and Ontario Line (OL) projects. The purpose of these amendments is to provide relief from certain zoning provisions related to transportation uses for lands to be acquired by Metrolinx to accommodate Yonge North Subway Extension and Ontario Line project elements. The Zoning By-law amendments enable the construction of transit facilities such as traction power substations, transit station entrance buildings and temporary facilities required for construction, where existing zoning either does not permit transit uses or the regulations are not optimized to accommodate the unique requirements of major public transit projects.

The amendments would apply to transportation uses only and are consistent with Official Plan policies and zoning, and none of the proposed amendments affect zoning permissions on abutting lands, nor will the amendments impact other uses permitted on properties affected by the amendments.
