All 19 items in the clerk’s order. Each carries the city’s own words: the staff recommendation, what the body decided, and its status. Nothing below is written by us.
EY11.1amended
The Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes to amend both the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code and City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to permit a 200 unit stacked townhouse development and a 2-storey non-residential building containing 557 m2 of non-residential gross floor area. The application proposes a 2,729 m2 public park along the east property line that would front onto a new Twelfth Street extension. The proposal would facilitate the construction of the Twelfth Street extension between its current northerly terminus to Birmingham Street, which would improve connectivity within the surrounding area. An application for Draft Plan of Subdivision approval is required to create the new public street, the public park block and the development block for the townhouses. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposal is consistent with the policies of the Mixed Use Areas and Apartment Neighbourhoods designations applying to the site, as well as other relevant policies pertaining to built form, public realm and transportation. The proposal respects and reinforces the existing built form context of the surrounding area. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law and also advises that the Chief Planner may approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision.
