            Report

 

On April 5, 2017, the Development Services Public meeting considering this matter was recessed to this date.

 

The Public Meeting this date was to consider an application submitted by 2496052 Ontario Inc. for Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-Law Amendment and Draft Plan of Condominium to permit residential uses on the lands located on the North side of Markland Street West of Woodbine Avenue within the Woodbine North Secondary Plan Area (OP 13 114950, ZA/CU 16 124882).

 

The Committee Clerk advised that 179 notices were mailed on March 16, 2016, and a Public Meeting sign was posted on March 16, 2017.  No written submissions were received regarding this proposal.

 

Staff gave a presentation regarding the proposal, the location, surrounding uses and outstanding issues, and advised that Kalexia Development Corp. was no longer an applicant in the proposal. Staff provided information regarding the mid-block crossing, advising that the alignment has not been finalized to date. This property was subject to a previous employment conversion application. Staff identified nearby parklands, across Woodbine Avenue, and advised that the expectation is that parkland dedication will consist of cash-in-lieu payment. Opportunities for parkland connectivity will be reviewed as part of the area development.

 

Adam Layton of Evans Planning Inc., representing the applicant, made a presentation to provide additional details and displayed concept site plans and elevations. Preliminary traffic review includes the mid-block crossing. Mr. Layton confirmed that the Public Meeting of this date, recessed from April 5, 2017, was satisfactory.

 

The Committee provided comments on enhanced landscaping including the stormwater management pond, connective pathways, and coordinating this proposal with Phase 2 of Kings Square to ensure compatible development.

 

There were no comments from the audience with respect to this application.
