RECOMMENDATION:

 

That the attached draft zoning by-law amendments be enacted;

 

And that Council be advised that staff approval of the red line revisions to draft plan of subdivision 19TM-95075 (Phase II) will follow enactment of the zoning by-laws.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

On June 7, 2005, a Development Services Committee public meeting was held to consider applications for subdivision approval and zoning by-law amendments to permit 45 single detached, 78 semi-detached and 86 townhouse dwellings (total 209 units) and 2.0 hectares (4.94 ac) of employment land within Draft Plan of subdivision 19TM-95075. 

 

On June 13, 2006, Council granted draft plan approval to the Phase I portion of the subdivision consisting of 47 single detached and 36 semi-detached units and 2.0 hectares (4.94 ac) of employment land.  The zoning by-law amendments and draft plan of subdivision were appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.  Following Board Mediation which successfully resolved the open space boundary issue, the zoning by-law and draft plan of subdivision were approved by the Board on January 30, 2007.  These Phase I units were part of a larger allocation of 800 units to the West Cathedral Community, granted by Council in February and November 2005. 

 

On June 20, 2006, Council granted the West Cathedral Community an additional 300 units of servicing allocation.  The Landowners’ Group has agreed to assign 22 units of the 300 unit allocation to the next phase of the Tucciarone subdivision (1696913 Ontario Ltd – Clera Holdings Ltd.), consisting of 4 single detached and 18 semi-detached units, which comprises the Phase II portion of the draft plan of subdivision.  The Phase II portion of the Tucciarone (1696913 Ontario Ltd. – Clera Holdings Ltd.) draft plan reflects the comprehensive draft plan of subdivision presented at the June 7, 2005 public meeting, and is consistent with the revised Phase I portion of the draft plan of subdivision approved by Council in May 2006. 

 

Attached are the implementing zoning by-law amendments to permit development of the second phase of the subdivision.

 

Delegated approval of the draft plan of subdivision by the Director of Planning and Urban Design will follow Council approval of the implementing zoning by-law amendments, in accordance with Section 2(b) (iv) of Delegation By-law 2002-202.

 

 

Attach.
