PROPOSAL - PURPOSE AND EFFECT
The City of Toronto is proposing a City-Initiated Official Plan Amendment in response to Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022.
On July 1, 2022, complete application provisions for Site Plan Control applications came into effect under Bill 109. Schedule 3 of the Official Plan conforms to the legislation and includes Site Plan Control application requirements. To better manage legislated application review timelines under Bill 109, the City is recommending a new complete application requirement for Site Plan Control applications. The requirement stipulates in-effect zoning compliance as a complete application requirement for Site Plan Control. This requirement ensures sequential review of Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control applications against the prescribed timelines for each application type.
It is the purview of Council to establish the policy and regulatory framework for a given site. Site Plan Control approval implements the approved Official Plan and in-effect Zoning By-law. Under Bill 109, Site Plan Control approval has been delegated to staff. The proposed new requirement supports an order of consideration whereby Council decision-making regarding zoning occurs prior to Site Plan Control approval by staff.
Further, this requirement ensures that once the statutory process for obtaining zoning (beyond as-of-right zoning) is complete, including final and binding approval of zoning required to facilitate a development on the property, an owner can proceed to Site Plan Control with certainty. Applicants and City staff should both benefit from this requirement as it significantly minimizes resubmission and additional review of information and materials to support a Site Plan Control application and supports more timely approvals.
Detailed information regarding the proposal, including background information and material and a copy of the proposed Official Plan Amendment may be obtained by contacting Michelle Drylie, Project Director at 416-392-3436, or by e-mail at Michelle.Drylie@toronto.ca.
