c)    the Site Plan Approval Authority BE REQUESTED to consider the following:

i)    prohibition of front yard parking;

ii)    provision of a minimum step-back of 5.0 metres above the third or fourth storey for apartment buildings (Building A1, A2, B1, B2, & B3, as described in the Preliminary Draft Plan of Subdivision dated September 25, 2025) along public streets (Wharncliffe Road South, Wonderland Road South, Exeter Road, Street ‘A’, and Street ‘B’);

iii)    provision of a minimum ground floor height of 4.0 metres for apartment buildings (Building A1, A2, B1, B2, & B3, as described in the Preliminary Draft Plan of Subdivision dated September 25, 2025); and,

d)    the Subdivision Approval Authority BE REQUESTED to consider the following:

i)    the Applicant shall prepare an updated Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA), to the satisfaction of the City, as part of the subdivision design review process. The TIA shall determine the required intersection control measures for the intersection of Exeter Road and Street ‘B’, including any temporary full access configurations such as a temporary signalized intersection. All such works shall be completed at the Applicant’s cost as part of the external works for the subdivision; 

ii)    as part of the temporary external works, and once the development to the east (municipally known as 1620 Wharncliffe Road South) is fully constructed, the Street ‘B’ and Exeter Road intersection is to be converted to right in-right out access, and the Applicant shall be responsible for:

A)    contributing financially to the removal of the temporary intersection control measures;

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that pursuant to subsection 34(17) of the Planning Act, no further notice be given;

it being pointed out that the following individuals made verbal presentations at the public participation meeting held in conjunction with these matters:

  • A. Shenouda, SEM Construction; and,

  • M. Davis, Siv-ik Planning and Design Inc;

IT BEING NOTED, that the above noted amendment is being recommended for the following reasons:

  •    there has been significant density pressure in the north and northwest, which is expected to continue with the recently approved Urban Growth Boundary, highlighting the need to redistribute growth across London;

  •    the proposed building heights will not affect neighbouring single-family homes;

  •    industrial growth in south London is increasing housing demand, and consistent with the Urban Growth Boundary discussion, this site is appropriate for higher heights by building up rather than out; and

  •    permitting one full access on Exeter Road will alleviate traffic concerns while retaining overall traffic impact on Wonderland Road South.

it being acknowledged that any and all oral and written submissions from the public, related to this application have been, on balance, taken into consideration by Council as part of its deliberations and final decision regarding these matters.
