A landmark building in the Leaside/North Toronto area has been demolished. At the corner of Bayview and Broadway, it was for years the home of Rumble Pontiac("ramble into Rumble, you'll see"), later Brennan Pontiac.
A developer is hoping to develop the site for a grocery store with parking underneath. The developer's application for a minor variance was denied. The applicant appealed the decision by the Committee of Adjustment to the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board). No date for the OMB hearing has yet been set.
Now the developer has made an application to re-zone the site. Re-zoning requires more studies to be done and the city staff will schedule a meeting where all residents will have a chance to comment on the proposed development. This meeting will be scheduled in January. The city is required to make a decision on the application within 180 days which means by early March 2011. Should the city turn down the application again the developer will have the option to appeal to the OMB.
Many of the neighbours are opposed to the proposed development.for more infomation, check the website www.broadwayrwg.ca.
