1. PRELIMINARY REPORT
P.A.R.C.E.L. INC.
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT APPLICATION TO
PERMIT A MEDICAL OFFICE AND PHARMACY
ON A TEMPORARY BASIS AT
28 LANGSTAFF ROAD EAST
FILE NO. ZA 15 156923 (10.5)
Report
The Public Meeting this date was to
consider an application submitted by P.A.R.C.E.L. Inc. for Zoning By-law
Amendment to permit a medical office and pharmacy on a temporary basis at 28
Langstaff Road East (ZA 15 156923).
The Committee Clerk advised that 31 notices were mailed on June 1, 2016,
and a Public Meeting sign was posted on June 1, 2016. One written submission was received regarding
this proposal.
Staff gave a presentation regarding the proposal, the location,
surrounding uses and outstanding issues. Council has resolved that all other
temporary use by-laws in Langstaff will expire simultaneously in June, 2018.
Roger Altobelli of the Geofocus Group, representing the applicant, gave
a presentation to provide additional details. Mr. Altobelli displayed
photographs and discussed Building Department and Fire Department Orders, the
sanitary sewer connection, parking requirements, and accessibility features. He
advised that the business has been in operation since May, 2010, and was
purchased under the misunderstanding that the use was permitted.
There were lengthy discussions
regarding the use as an addiction treatment clinic, the impacts to the
community, and municipal, provincial, and licensing regulations for the use.
Redevelopment of the Langstaff Gateway District was also discussed in depth.
Sam Balsamo of Condor
Properties Ltd. made a deputation in opposition to the proposal and gave a
presentation to explain his concern that comprehensive redevelopment for the
Langstaff Gateway District is already underway, and this temporary use could
undermine the vision for the plan. Mr. Balsamo requested that the application
be denied rather than referred back to staff; alternatively he could support a
temporary use to the end of 2016.
Staff explained the importance
of a full review of the application prior to formulating a recommendation for
consideration, and confirmed that this use will also be addressed in the new
comprehensive zoning by-law.
The Committee indicated a
short-term temporary use could be considered. It was suggested that the
applicant and Condor Properties Ltd. work in partnership on the future of this
property.
The applicant addressed the
Committee to provide some background on his medical practice, the circumstances
of his purchase of the property, and his efforts to address the non-conforming
status. A representative of the
applicant referred to an e-mail from City staff at the time of purchase, and he
was asked to submit the e-mail to the Clerk.

Report
The Public Meeting this date was to
consider an application submitted by Kimberville Capital Inc. for proposed
Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Redline Revision to Draft
Approved Plan of Subdivision (19TM-040016) (OP/ZA/SU 15 028274).
The Committee Clerk advised that 84 notices were mailed on June 1, 2016,
and a Public Meeting sign was posted on May 25, 2016. No written submissions were received
regarding this proposal.
Staff gave a presentation regarding the proposal, the location,
surrounding uses and outstanding issues. The Committee reviewed the redline
revisions to the plan. Discussions included the extension of Russell Woods
Avenue, disposition of a surplus parcel at the south-east corner, owned by the
City, snow storage locations, providing additional parking spaces, protection
of the heritage house to avoid demolition by neglect, and providing parkland
within the Cornell Master Plan Agreement.
Joanne Barnett, representing
the applicant, provided additional details. Mr. King, consultant for the
applicant, explained that the surplus City lands will not be acquired by the
applicant. The applicant will work with the City to expedite the
extension of Russell Woods Avenue. It was confirmed that the land is
agricultural and contains no environmental features.
It was noted that high rise
buildings may be developed to the south, and that sales offices are required to
ensure purchasers are aware of potential impacts to their property; however, it
is difficult to confirm development in advance.
The Committee requested that
in future presentations, the Official Plan context be displayed over the

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