","financialImpactWep":"

The City Planning Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This application proposes to amend Site and Area Specific Policy 581 (SASP 581) associated with Official Plan Amendment 489 (OPA 489) to correctly identify the interior floor space of the two lower floors of the former Kent School building. This space will be conveyed to the City to provide a community hub, inclusive of a childcare facility, at 1141 Bloor Street West, 980 Dufferin Street, and 90 Croatia Street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also seeks Council authority to amend the Section 37 provision to also correctly identify the floor area of the two lower floors of the former Kent School building, should the Committee of Adjustment approved the necessary variances to Site-specific Zoning By-law 700-2021 (OLT).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020).

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan. The interior floor area for conveyance identified in SASP 581, and the Section 37 provision reflected the best understanding of the area at the time. However, the final corrected numbers are slightly different. The community hub obligations continue to be fulfilled with this adjustment in interior floor area, and the intent for a community hub, inclusive of a childcare facility, remains unchanged.

The Director, Zoning, and Secretary-Treasurer, Committee of Adjustment, recommends that:

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact Section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends approval of the application to bring the entirety of the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) campus into Zoning By-law 569-2013 ('the City-wide Zoning By-law') and to extend the existing campus-wide approach to parking requirements to include campus-wide requirements for loading spaces and bicycle parking spaces.

\r\n

 

\r\n

No development is proposed as part of this application.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Due to complex area-specific zoning regulations for post-secondary institutions contained in the Former General Zoning By-laws, these institutions, including TMU, were not included in the new City-wide Zoning By-law. Most of TMU is not included in the City-wide Zoning By-law, and is instead regulated by former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Bringing these lands into the City-wide Zoning By-law will remove barriers, ease administration and will ensure consistent and equitable application of important city-building initiatives such as the removal of parking minimums. The City-wide Zoning By-law is available online, conforms with the City's Official Plan, and is actively consolidated.

","financialImpactWep":"

The City Planning Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council designate the subject lands as a Class 4 Noise Area under relevant provincial noise guidelines administered by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) for the lands at 363-391 Yonge Street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A Class 4 Area designation allows for higher daytime and night-time sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a noise sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas. The impact of such higher levels would be mitigated by noise control measures that are part of the development.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A Detailed Environmental Noise Impact Assessment was prepared by GHD Limited in response to the proposed development at 363-391 Yonge Street. This assessment concludes that a Class 4 designation of the development site would be beneficial for land use compatibility with Toronto Metropolitan University.

\r\n

 

\r\n

An 85-storey mixed use development with 1,415 dwelling units and 7,440 square metres of non-residential gross floor area is currently under construction at 363-391 Yonge Street.

On January 4, 2023 the City received applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning to permit a 44 and 33 storey tower development including a 8-9 storey podium with a total gross floor area of 79,854 square metres and 905 residential units; 11,066 square metres of non-residential space dedicated for Canadian Tire retail operations; and an onsite park dedication of approximately 958 square metres on the south portion of the site.  Road conveyances will be required to facilitate a new north-south public street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The applicant appealed the applications to the Ontario Land Tribunal (\"OLT\") due to Council not making a decision within the time frame prescribed in the Planning Act.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends that the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff attend the OLT hearing to oppose the proposal in its current form and continue discussions with the applicant to resolve outstanding issues. This application is one of a number of applications in the immediate area which have been appealed; the review of these applications has been coordinated to implement the policy framework.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact Section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations to the designated heritage property at 50 Merton Street and grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the property. This report also recommends approval of the proposed demolition of heritage attributes, being the removal of the three-storey rear wing and northern half of the front-wing's east elevation identified in the designation by-law.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The subject designated heritage property is located on the north side of Merton Street, east of Yonge Street, and contains a three-storey complex designed as the first permanent, purpose-built national headquarters for the Girl Guides of Canada. It was completed in 1962 to the design of Carmen Corneil, project architect for William J. McBain & Associates and extended in 1970-72 by the partnership of Elin and Carmen Corneil. The building is composed of a two-storey front wing set on a raised podium with an exterior terrace and a rear, three-storey back wing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed development has been submitted in connection with applications for amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and involves the construction of a 45-storey mixed-use building at 50-64 Merton Street that partially retains the Girl Guides of Canada Headquarters building. A substantial portion of the two-storey front wing is to be retained and rehabilitated. It is proposed to be temporarily relocated on-site during construction, returned to its original location, and integrated into the new development's podium as lobby and amenity space. The exterior terrace, along with several interior heritage attributes are proposed to be reinstated with alterations. 

\r\n


The proposed development is consistent with the existing policy framework and proposes an overall conservation strategy that conserves the significant heritage resource.

This report recommends that City Council include ten properties at the intersection of Main Street and Gerrard Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for their cultural heritage value and interest. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Together, the ten properties comprise four early-twentieth century, two-storey,

\r\n

Main Street Commercial type buildings that feature commercial uses at grade and residential and or office space above. The collection of buildings anchors the historically significant commercial and institutional core of the former municipality of East Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The most prominent two buildings, one inclusive of 155, 161, and 167 Main Street and 2201, 2203, 2205, and 2207 Gerrard Street East and the other at 164 Main Street, define the southeast and southwest corners of Main Street and Gerrard Street East as Main Street Commercial Block type buildings. The property at 143 Main Street was constructed as a Main Street Commercial Row containing the East Toronto post office.

\r\n

\r\n

The subject properties were initially identified as potential built heritage resources which should be further evaluated for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register through the Main Street Planning Study (2019).  The Main Street Planning Study put in place a plan for growth for properties in proximity to Main Street TTC Station and Danforth GO Station. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

All ten properties have been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed in Ontario Regulation 9/06 and meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest and are believed to be of cultural heritage value or interest.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Ontario Heritage Act, as amended, a municipal heritage register may include properties for a period of two years that have not been designated but Council believes to be of \"cultural heritage value or interest\", and that meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining whether they are of cultural heritage value or interest.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Ontario Heritage Act also states that should a property be subject to an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application, properties must be listed on the heritage register prior to Part IV designation and before the occurrence of a prescribed event. A prescribed event is a point of time when the application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application has been deemed complete and the City Clerk provides notice of that complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties.  Following further research and evaluation, staff may recommend designation of the property under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and seek appropriate conservation.

Transportation Services has assessed an appeal from the owner of 63 Hammersmith Avenue for front yard parking. Front yard parking at this location is not recommended because it does not meet the requirements of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 918.

Therefore, staff do not recommend granting the appeal for front yard parking at 63 Hammersmith Avenue.

Summary from the report and attachment 1 (October 30, 2023) from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services on 1404-1428 Yonge Street - Construction Staging Area

\r\n

 

\r\n

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Yonge Street, City Council approval of this report is required.

\r\n

 

\r\n

YSC Development Corp is constructing a 50-storey condominium building at 1404-1428 Yonge Street. The site is located on the west side of Yonge Street between St Clair Avenue West and Farnham Avenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the west sidewalk, the southbound bike lane, a portion of the southbound lane, and the northbound bike lane on Yonge Street for a period of 35 months, from November 30, 2023 to October 31, 2026 to facilitate construction staging operations. Pedestrian movements on the west side of Yonge Street, abutting the site, will be maintained in a minimum 1.8 metre-wide covered and protected walkway. The southbound and northbound bike lanes will be closed, and signage will be posted informing cyclists the bike lane ends in advance of the construction staging area and shared lane pavement markings will be installed advising cyclists and motorists to merge into a single traffic lane in the vicinity of the work zone.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The response and repair costs will be deducted from the deposit provided to the City.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

In 2022, the TTC blocked off one lane westbound lane of Shaftesbury Avenue in order to install elevators at the subway station. Transportation services marked the remaining (south) lane as eastbound only. As a result, Summerhill area residents have extreme difficulty exiting their neighborhood. They have no road access in any direction, except by accessing Yonge Street. Due to heavy bike and vehicle traffic on Yonge Street, it is very difficult for them to turn onto or to cross Yonge Street without a traffic light. The only traffic light serving the immediate neighbourhood is at Shaftesbury Avenue. The eastbound lane restriction makes this traffic light inaccessible to the residents and others attempting to leave the neighbourhood by car.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Transportation services advises that it is unsafe to make the remaining (south) lane two way. TTC advises that it cannot return the blocked (north) lane for community use, even though the lane is typically used only to park a small amount of equipment, and the project is expected to drag on for several more years.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In these circumstances, the Summerhill Residents’ Association requests that the city make the remaining (south) lane of Shaftesbury Avenue westbound in the area where the TTC is occupying the north lane, and install a stop sign where it reaches the eastern edge of the construction site.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The letter of request from the Summerhill Residents’ Association is attachment 1.

Local businesses and condo boards near Abell Street have contacted my office to raise concerns over challenges with the unloading of deliveries and access for garbage collection vehicles.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On the north part of Abell, vehicles often park despite an existing no-parking prohibition on the west side and a no-stopping prohibition on the east side. Further south on Abell, there is signage for an unofficial loading zone in a no-parking zone under the bylaws. This existing parking prohibition results in confusion for those actively engaged in loading and unloading at the nearby buildings.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addressing these issues, a no-stopping area is recommended on Abell closer to Queen St W to ensure garbage collection vehicles and emergency vehicles can maintain access. Additionally, the unofficial loading zone requires a commercial loading zone designation to prevent delivery vehicles from receiving tickets over confusion with the signs currently in place.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Residents in the Perth-Sterling neighbourhood have contacted my office to advocate for safety improvements along Sterling Road.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As a result of ongoing construction in the area, large pick-up trucks routinely stand in a No Parking zone on the west side of the street. This creates a bottleneck on Sterling Road, preventing and restricting larger delivery trucks from accessing businesses and vehicles from travelling the two-way road.

\r\n


Stopped vehicles on the west side also pose safety concerns as trucks have a difficult time manoeuvring in this congested area, and residents have communicated several instances where pedestrians have nearly been hit by trucks that are having trouble manoeuvering through the street.

It is recommended that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council no later than the June 11, 2024 meeting about a plan for a stratified stop-up and closure of a portion of the Sumach Street related to proposed development at 1, 2-16 Sumach Street (application #21204556STE13OZ), and to engage with the applicant and report back on the following issues:

\r\n


a. adequate loading for commercial purposes;

\r\n


b. a parking study to demonstrate whether parking and ridesharing is required for commercial uses and how any such need will be accommodated, as well as visitor and accessible parking; and

\r\n


c. access for the City to maintain the elevated structures for Adelaide Street East and Richmond Street East from Sumach Street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services in consultation with the General Manager, Transportation Services, to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council no later than the June 11, 2024 meeting detailing the alternate sequential steps and approvals, inclusive of relevant timelines, that would be required to effect a full stop-up and closure of the Sumach Street right-of-way with the intention of relocating the underground utilities under Sumach Street.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

I am writing to request your support in advancing discussions around the use Sumach Street in Ward 13 to accommodate an ongoing development application for 1, 2-16 Sumach Street (application #21204556STE13OZ). By allowing the developer, Block Developments, to either cantilever over or build on Sumach Street, the site would become feasible for new affordable housing and potentially a much needed retail use in the Corktown neighbourhood.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This portion of Sumach Street, sometimes colloquially referred to as “Old Sumach Street,” is a dead-end street that runs north of Eastern Avenue. The proposed development would include properties on both sides of Sumach Street, and the inclusion of the City’s right-of-way would create a large enough floor plate and potential value to Block Developments to create significant community benefits, specifically affordable housing. The community has also long been a “food desert” without a major grocery store in close proximity to many homes. A larger floor plate accommodated the inclusion of Sumach Street would make a grocery use potentially feasible here.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Despite the positives, City staff have noted some issues with Block Development’s proposal. There is existing infrastructure under this portion of Sumach Street that would necessitate long-term City access, which would require resolving how tall the strata would need to be to allow a cantilever over the road. In addition, this section of Sumach Street does currently allow access to two underpasses to the north of the site, and staff have asked that that be retained. Alternatively, the applicant has been asked to explore the relocation of infrastructure under Sumach Street to allow for the full closure of the road.

\r\n

 

\r\n

There are also issues around access and loading for a potential retail space that need to be resolved. In the event the road remains a City-owned asset, there will necessarily be individuals who will require the ability to pick-up/drop-off at the new building. Staff have also expressed a desire to understand if and how parking could be accommodated. Importantly, they have raised issues with accommodating deliveries to the site to service any retail uses. These are all issues that are proper to resolve before proceeding with this development application.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This request therefore has two parts that seek to move this discussion forward in a timely manner. One set of recommendations is intended to have City staff work directly with the applicant to try and resolve the outstanding concerns related to cantilevering over Sumach Street and accommodating a retail use. Recognizing that work may result in a preferred option to instead close the road, the second part of these recommendations is intended to provide clarity to the City as to how that can proceed. By reporting back on these two options, Toronto and East York Community Council can provide further direction to City staff as to how to proceed.

\r\n

1. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit parking at all times on the north side of Alma Avenue, between Dufferin Street and a point 43.5 metres west.
 

\r\n

2. Toronto and East York Community Council prohibit parking at all times on the south side of Alma Avenue, between Dufferin Street and a point 43.5 metres west.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

A local produce business on Alma Ave west of Dufferin has contacted my office for assistance with parking amendments to allow better access for delivery trucks entering this narrow street. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The business owner has noted that prior to September 2019, a no-parking sign existed on the north corner of Alma and may have been removed during construction. Following an investigation by Transportation Services, staff determined that the street was not designated as a no-parking zone despite no-parking signage being previously installed at this location.

To formalize this previously existing prohibition and allow access for delivery vehicles, I respectfully request your support on the following recommendations.

At the time, the developer indicated they would require the staging areas until June 30, 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

At its meeting on March 29, 2023, City Council approved an extension of the construction staging areas on Yonge Street, and Bloor Street West, from April 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025, and for Balmuto Street an extension was approved for only one year from April 1, 2023 to April 1, 2024. At the time of the meeting on March 29, 2023, the developer indicated they would require the staging area on Balmuto Street until June 30, 2025.

Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area on Balmuto Street, between the first public lane south of Bloor Street West to Bloor Street West to allow for intermittent closures of the street during concrete pouring operations, for additional 17 months from April 2, 2024 to August 31, 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For the maintenance of the concrete pump on Balmuto Street, Transportation Services is also requesting the authority for the General Manager of Transportation Services to issue a Temporary Street Occupation permit for Balmuto Street to the developer, notwithstanding that not all the criteria within the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 743, Streets and Sidewalks, Use of, for so doing would be met.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addition, Transportation Services is requesting authority to transfer the ownership of the Temporary Street Occupancy Permit for Balmuto Street in the event that the development and property is acquired by a new owner during the requested construction staging area times extension period from April 2, 2024 to August 31, 2025. The developer is currently the subject of Court-supervised Receivership proceedings, and the property may be the subject of a Court-supervised sale during this period. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The issuance or transfer of the permit is contingent on the applicant providing an indemnity agreement to the City and/or a letter of credit in a form and amount and from a bank satisfactory to the General Manager, Transportation Services and the City Solicitor. Transportation Services is also requesting authority to transfer the indemnity agreement to a new owner, subject to the ongoing court proceedings.
