Received
21-2017 ONTARIO
MUNICIPAL BOARD (OMB) DECISION – ARYEH CONSTRUCTION LIMITED, 8293 AND 8303
WARDEN AVENUE (13.13)
Letter
Summary from the City Solicitor:
In
2012, the Ontario Municipal Board (the OMB) approved a settlement between the
City of Markham and Aryeh Construction Limited (the “Appellant”) of appeals by
Aryeh respecting the City’s failure to make a decision regarding applications
for draft plan of subdivision, zoning by-law amendment and site plan approval
at 8293/8303 Warden Avenue, located on the east side of Warden Avenue, south of
Highway 7.
The
settlement permits a development consisting of one road block (a section of
Rougeside Promenade), one park block on the north side of the road, and two
park blocks and one development block on the south side of the road. The settlement permits the development block
to be used for a 530 unit residential development comprising two 19-storey
towers on 9 and 10 storey podium elements.
The
existing heritage house on the property (the Sheridan-Paterson House) is to be
relocated to a lot adjoining the south boundary of the development block for
use as amenity space for the condominium.
The appellant purchased this lot from the City as part of the
settlement.
The
OMB approved two zoning by-law amendments; one to delete the property from the
designated area of By-law 304-87 (the City’s Rural Area Zoning By-law) and a
second to incorporate the property into
the designated area of By-law 2004-196 (the Markham Centre Zoning By-law) and zone
it to permit the development outlined above.
These by-laws need to given numbers for municipal tracking
purposes.
