As the city filed it

This report outlines the analysis, consultation process, and recommended zoning amendment to advance the fourth phase of work to incorporate low-rise residential lands in Scarborough District into Zoning By-law 569-2013 (the "City-wide Zoning By-law). Staff recommend bringing low-rise residential lands into the City-wide Zoning By-law with zoning standards that are consistent with the applicable standards in the former municipal zoning by-law, consistent with city-wide zoning amendments, and in conformity with the Official Plan.

These properties had active zoning by-law amendment or site plan control applications in 2012 and were excluded from the City-wide Zoning By-law through the transition protocol. This study is part of the on-going work to simplify and modernize the City-wide Zoning By-law, and to support consistent application of the City-wide Zoning By-law. Bringing these lands into the City-wide Zoning By-law will remove barriers, ease administration, and enable the creation of more housing as part of the Housing Action Plan. In addition, the recommended zoning by-law amendment will enable properties to take advantage of the removal of parking minimums and permissions for a broad range of "missing middle" housing permissions in support of the Housing Action Plan and its target of 285,000 homes over the next ten years. City staff have completed the fourth phase of the study's work plan by reviewing approximately 379 properties in the Scarborough district subject to former municipal zoning by-laws, and assessing the appropriateness of each property for inclusion in the City-wide Zoning By-law. This report recommends approval of the attached zoning amendment to incorporate approximately 201 low-rise residential properties into the City-wide Zoning By-law.

Staff recommended

The Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, recommends that: 1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 569-2013, substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 2 to this report. 2.
