SC2.1adopted
This Rental Housing Demolition application proposes the demolition of 33 rental dwelling units including 32 units at 1625, 1633 and 1641 Kingston Road and one unit at 52 Birchcliff Avenue. Associated Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications propose two new buildings comprising 278 new dwelling units, including replacement rental units for all 33 demolished rental units. The 33 replacement rental units are proposed to be located in a four-storey standalone building containing only the replacement units and associated indoor amenity space. The proposal also includes a Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan that addresses the right for existing tenants to return to a replacement rental unit at similar rent and financial compensation to mitigate hardship. Associated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications were appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). A settlement offer was endorsed by City Council on July 19, 2022. Council deferred making a decision on the Rental Housing Demolition application and directed staff to request the OLT to withhold its Order on the appeals until such time as the Rental Housing Demolition application has been approved by Council and all appropriate conditions have been satisfied, including the execution of any necessary agreements. On October 31, 2022 the OLT held a settlement hearing and approved the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications subject to a number of conditions as expressed through an interim oral decision. This report recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code and the demolition permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.
