\r\n\r\n
My recommendation would direct a full report on all aspects of the East Harbour Transit Oriented Communities negotiations to be considered by Executive Committee. It is appropriate for the East Harbour report to go through Executive Committee because of the intergovernmental and financial implications for the City, including the commitments in the New Deal with the Province.
\r\n\r\n
Specifically, the recommendation would amend City Council’s procedures to allow Executive Committee to hold the statutory public meeting on the East Harbour draft Plan of Subdivision, thereby allowing Executive Committee and Council to consider all elements of the East Harbour negotiations at the same time.

","financialImpactWep":"There is no immediate financial impact from the adoption of the recommendations in this report. However, budget submissions in later years will include cyber license subscriptions, professional services cost increases and the requirement for additional staff complement due to expanding cyber services and inflationary impacts.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed and agreed with this financial impact statement.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report responds to a request from City Council for the Chief Information Security Officer to report on the progress of developing an implementation plan for an independent and centralized information technology risk and compliance, privacy, and cyber security function, as per item #15 of 2021.AU8.8.
\r\n\r\n
Additionally, this report recommends extending the scope of the authority of the Chief Information Security Officer to mitigate cyber security risks across all City agencies and corporations.
\r\n\r\n
In 2020, City Council established the Office of the Chief Information Security Officer, an independent cyber security division based on the Auditor General’s recommendation. Initially established with just five staff members, the division has since expanded significantly to meet the growing need for cyber expertise with a team of 84 cyber security experts approved 2024 complement to address emerging cyber threats.
\r\n\r\n
The team, alongside four directors, is organized into distinct business sections, each with unique functions and responsibilities, and work horizontally to provide comprehensive support. The senior management team, which consists of the Chief Information Security Officer, Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, and directors from each business section, play a pivotal role in crafting and executing the City’s comprehensive cyber strategy.
\r\n\r\n
Within four years, the Chief Information Security Officer has formulated the organizational structure, vision, mission, and strategy of the division and has implemented a robust and effective cyber program across the City’s divisions. This program is based on established international cyber security standards including International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagement (SSAE), the International Society of Automation / the International Electrotechnical Commission (ISA/IEC), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
\r\n\r\n
Agencies and corporations have emerged as prime targets for cyber attacks. Government and public-sector organizations are likely to continue to be among the top targets of cyber criminals seeking financial gain or competitive intelligence in the coming years.1
\r\n\r\n
Over the past 24 months, Toronto Zoo, Toronto Library, and Toronto Transit Commission have each experienced debilitating cyber attacks, resulting in significant disruptions to essential services provided to residents. In February 2024, the City of Hamilton suffered from a widespread and significant cyber attack which has compromised several aspects of key technology and critical infrastructure. Most recently, on March 10, 2024, the Town of Huntsville was also hit by a cyber attack, making this the second cyber attack on a municipality within a period of only three weeks.
\r\n\r\n
The impact of these disruptions highlights the importance of implementing robust and effective cyber security measures to safeguard against future threats and ensure uninterrupted delivery of services to residents.
\r\n\r\n
Recent cyber incidents have highlighted the vulnerability of various agencies and corporations, particularly amidst the growing trend of threat actors targeting public organizations. In light of these incidents, there is a pressing need for agencies and corporations to leverage the capabilities offered by the Chief Information Security Officer to reinforce cyber security defences and controls and be better prepared against potential breaches.
\r\n\r\n
Currently, the Chief Information Security Officer’s authority with respect to agencies and corporations derives from two Council Items: 2019.AU4.1 and 2021.AU10.4. These authorities do not cover the scope required by the Chief Information Security Officer to effectively address and mitigate cyber risks in agencies and corporations.
\r\n\r\n
In response to these escalating threats, this report recommends extending the role of the Chief Information Security Officer to effectively identify and mitigate cyber risks across the City’s wider cyber security network through more widespread use of modern cyber security techniques and technology across all agencies and corporations.
\r\n\r\n
Securing digital assets owned and directly managed by the City is just one aspect of safeguarding the City’s digital realm. The City invests significant resources in thoroughly assessing the cyber security measures of all suppliers and other organizations it engages with. Likewise, City agencies and corporations contribute significantly to the City’s overall cyber posture, and would benefit from additional support, oversight, direction, and expertise from the City.
\r\n\r\n
Fostering an environment of partnership and collaboration between the City and its agencies and corporations will serve to bolster the City’s digital defences in an ever-evolving digital world.
\r\n

","financialImpactWep":"There are no financial impacts resulting from the adoption of recommendations contained in this report. A total of $106,020 in development charges and education development charges was collected by the City from the complainant in 2023 (development charges in the amount of $97,041, and education development charges in the amount of $8,979).
\r\n\r\n
The complainant is seeking a refund in the amount of $72,313. If the complainant appeals Council's decision to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT), there may be financial impacts to the City if a decision by OLT results in an unfavourable outcome to the City. A decision in favour of the complainant may result in the City issuing a refund of up to $68,720 for development charges. As the City remits payment of education development charges to the Toronto Catholic District School Board, the school board would be responsible for refunding the education portion of up to $3,593.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report responds to a complaint filed pursuant to Section 20 of the Development Charges Act, 1997 and Section 257.85 of the Education Act, relating to a development project located at 3-5 Marina Avenue in Etobicoke-Lakeshore.
\r\n\r\n
The development project consists of the demolition of an existing single detached dwelling and the creation of two semi-detached dwellings, each containing one secondary dwelling unit. The complainant, Dan Iannetti, objects to the amount of development charges and education development charges calculated. The complainant asserts that the development charges were incorrectly calculated at the ‘Singles & Semis’ rate, instead of the ‘Multiples 1 Bedroom and Bachelor’ rate. Additionally, the complainant states that education development charges were incorrectly calculated as an additional demolition credit was not provided for their existing basement apartment. Thirdly, the complainant claims that delays to schedule hearings and the City to clear planning conditions resulted in having to pay increased rates on development charges and education development charges.
\r\n\r\n
City staff have reviewed the complaint and are of the opinion that the Development Charges By-law (\"DC By-law\") was applied properly, and no error was made in determination of the applicable development charges. Staff have reviewed the building permit application along with documentation submitted by the complainant, and believe the development was correctly categorized as two semi-detached dwellings, each with one secondary dwelling unit, and so the ‘Singles & Semis’ rate applies. The development does not meet the definition of a multiple dwelling unit; therefore the ‘Multiples 1 Bedroom and Bachelor’ rate does not apply.
\r\n\r\n
After review, City staff have determined that the Education Development Charges By-law (“EDC By-law”) was correctly applied. The EDC By-law outlines that credits are applied where an education development charge has previously been paid. In this case, an education development charge was not previously paid for the basement apartment in the existing detached house. Therefore, the complainant is not entitled to an additional education development charge credit since an education development charge was not previously paid.
\r\n\r\n
In addition, according to the DC By-law and EDC By-law, development charges are calculated at the time of permit issuance, therefore calculations are not backdated due to scheduling/administrative delays in planning or building permit approvals.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends that the complaint be dismissed. A decision or a non-decision of Council to dismiss the complaint may be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). This report was prepared in consultation with the (Acting) Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building and the City Solicitor.

This carry forward amount was based on an initial estimate as per projections available at the time of the budget development, prior to the 2023 year-end closing. With the 2023 fiscal year closed in February 2024, City Programs and Agencies have finalized the 2023 actual project spending as well as the total carry forward request. As a result, the purpose of this report is to seek Council's approval for an additional $519.9 million of carry-forward funding from 2023 to future years, of which $310.0 million to be carried to 2024 and $209.9 million to 2025 to 2028, to enable staff to complete multi-year capital projects approved in 2023 and prior years.

However, ongoing compliance with the legislative requirements will result in the need for an additional investment in resources and functions corporately to establish an organization-wide practice of integrated asset management in support of a whole-of-government approach to asset management that will promote consistency and standardization of asset management practices across the City.
\r\n\r\n
The Corporate Asset Management Plan will be integrated into the development of the City’s capital prioritization framework as recommended through the Updated Long-Term Financial Plan. This will enhance existing prioritization processes and be used to make strategic decisions regarding the 10-Year Capital Plan, including both the funded and unfunded portions, during the City’s annual budget process. It will also allow Council to set strategic direction in the allocation of available capital funds using a consistent set of guiding principles, while considering overall affordability and capacity to deliver capital investments.
","agendaItemSummary":"The City of Toronto is the largest municipality in Canada and the economic engine of the province and country. With this comes an important national responsibility and opportunity to deliver services, execute projects, and uphold strategic priorities that will benefit the region and other orders of government and contribute to Canada’s overall economic health, social standing, and environmental sustainability.
\r\n\r\n
Like many North American cities, the majority of the City of Toronto’s infrastructure was built during the post-war period and the onset of the industrial period. The European experience – with much older infrastructure – tells us that, over time, cities will need to allocate an increasing part of their budgets to ensure that basic infrastructures continue to be in a state of good repair (SOGR) to serve their constituents. In addition, the far-reaching implications of climate change present new challenges to building sustainable and innovative adaptations that rely upon green, renewable, and adaptive technologies.
\r\n\r\n
The 2019 Canadian Infrastructure Report Card (CIRC) highlights that a concerning amount of Canadian municipal infrastructure is in poor and very poor condition, requiring immediate rehabilitations and replacements in the next 5-10 years to maintain service levels that meet community expectations. For the City of Toronto specifically, more than 50% of its 2024-2033 Tax and Rate Supported Capital Budget and Plan is dedicated to capital investments in SOGR projects to simply maintain the current state of infrastructure over the next 10 years. In this context, it is extremely important to have high quality and comparable data across the organization for senior leadership to plan and prioritize renewal projects based on the evidence, implement best practices for cost savings, and leverage funding opportunities from provincial and federal governments.
\r\n\r\n
This report presents the City of Toronto’s 2024 Corporate Asset Management Plan for City Council's approval, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 588/17: Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure (the \"Regulation\") under the Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act. The regulation was subsequently amended in March of 2021 under Ontario Regulation 193/21 to change the timing of reporting requirements under the Act. The report will address all other municipal infrastructure assets outside of the core assets reported through the Core Infrastructure Asset Management Plan approved by Council in November 2021 which included water, wastewater, stormwater, roads, bridges, and culverts. The infrastructure assets contained in this report are categorized into 9 asset classes: facilities, fleet, equipment, amenities, collections, linear infrastructure, natural assets, structures and systems.
\r\n\r\n
The 2024 Corporate Asset Management Plan (AMP) encompasses 25 City Divisions, Agencies, and Corporations (DACs) that hold ownership and/or responsibility over City-owned municipal infrastructure assets, as defined by the regulation. Organized into 8 service areas and 24 subservices, the Corporate AMP exhibits the multitude of services provided by the City and demonstrates the relationship between service delivery and the assets that support those services. The AMP is based on the data, information, professional judgement, and expertise of the asset management teams and leads that reside within each area, in conjunction with the work and analysis conducted through the City’s annual Budget process and reflected in the 2024 Operating Budget and 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan.

","financialImpactWep":"In 2023, Toronto Water achieved a delivery rate of approximately 80% of its 2023 Approved Capital Budget of $1,389 million.
\r\n\r\n
The delivery of a number of projects proceeded ahead of the forecast, exceeding the 2023 cash flow forecasts while some others fell behind schedule or experienced reduced expenditures, resulting in the need to amend the 2023 Approved Budget to reflect project accelerations and deferrals as outlined in Schedule A (Part A & B).
\r\n\r\n
The increases to the Approved 2024, 2025 and 2026 cashflows for projects that have been delayed as shown in Schedule A - Part B are offset by decreases for projects that have proceeded ahead of the forecast in 2023 as shown in Schedule A - Part A, resulting in no additional costs.
\r\n\r\n
Some projects experienced lower than anticipated invoicing in 2023, while some other projects were completed under budget. As a result, funding from these projects is available for reallocation to address projects that incurred additional expenditures in 2023 as outlined in Schedule A (Part C).

There are no additional costs to the City as a result of the approval of this report. The recommended adjustments will align the 2023 Capital Budget with final year end expenditures and align the Approved 2024 Capital Budget and 2025-2033 Capital Plan with Toronto Water's capital project delivery schedule and program requirements.

\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial information as presented in the Financial Impact section.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report presents findings from a governance review of the Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee (AAAC) and recommends that Council adopt the proposed Terms of Reference for this committee as described in Attachment 1 to enable the AAAC to resume operation. It is also recommended that the AAAC review and make recommendations for any amendments to the mandate or Terms of Reference of the Advisory Committee by the end of 2025.
\r\n\r\n
During the 2018-2022 City Council term, members of the AAAC raised questions and concerns about the structure and procedures of the committee. It was expressed by some previous AAAC members that the Simplified Rules of Procedure, under which Council Advisory Bodies (CABs) traditionally operate, are colonial practices that do not reflect Indigenous governance, offer little opportunity for real consideration of issues, and do not effectively support advancing the relationship between Indigenous communities and Toronto City Council as reflected in the principles of reconciliation. In February 2023, City Council re-established an AAAC for the 2022 to 2026 term and requested a governance review and engagement with the Indigenous community before adopting its Terms of Reference.
\r\n\r\n
Two Indigenous facilitators engaged with members of the 2018-2022 AAAC and local Indigenous communities about their experiences and recommendations to inform the governance review (Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee Review webpage). The findings reflect a desire for City Council to establish meaningful ways to engage and receive advice and advance the relationship between City Council and Indigenous communities to address important issues and advance truth, justice, and reconciliation.
\r\n\r\n
Further to the work undertaken by the consultants, the City Manager and staff engaged in discussions with the Toronto Aboriginal Support Services Council (TASSC) to consider a path forward. TASSC is composed of Indigenous social services agencies in Toronto and many members are original members of the AAAC with long relationships with the City.
\r\n\r\n
From the review findings and these discussions, it is evident that more work is needed for the City and Indigenous partners to co-create an advisory body that is reflective of Indigenous governance practices, advances self-determination and is empowered with decision-making authority. It is also evident that an AAAC should resume meeting to avoid gaps in important conversations and collaboration between City Council and Indigenous communities and to enable this longer-term co-creation and relationship building to continue.
\r\n\r\n
The City Manager and City Clerk recommend that Council adopt the attached Terms of Reference for an AAAC, which are based on the initial terms of the 2018-2022 AAAC with updates consistent with Indigenous community input and recent Council direction on CABs, such as the provision of honoraria for AAAC members participating in meetings. The AAAC will have one Member of Council and, recognizing TASSC's experience with past AAACs and its connections in community, up to 25 public members nominated by TASSC and approved by Council.
\r\n\r\n
Adopting these Terms of Reference will enable this committee to resume meeting according to Council’s existing rules that are applied to CABs and propose amendments to Council once the members have begun to meet and can consider changes to how the body should operate to better reflect Indigenous governance practices. Acknowledging the diversity of the Indigenous community, it is also important that the City and the members of the AAAC consider input and feedback from the broader Indigenous community, including Indigenous organizations that are not members of the AAAC, in its consideration of future changes to its mandate and Terms of Reference.

\r\n\r\n
2. City Council amend Schedule C to Municipal Code, Chapter 67, by replacing the current Schedule C with the Schedules contained in Attachments 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 to this report, as the new Schedule C to Chapter 67, effective as of the Effective Date.
","financialImpactWep":"This report recommends that new City procurements of contracts issued on or after the Effective Date be subject to the proposed Schedule C changes (i.e., wage increases to reflect 2022 to 2024 rates applicable to non-union workers).
\r\n\r\n
The potential incremental costs for new City procurements of construction contracts issued on or after the Effective Date is estimated to be between $2.7 million and $4.8 million annually. This is based on the following assumptions:
\r\n\r\n
-2019 and 2020 data leveraged as proxies for the City's construction spending awarded to non-union contractors;
\r\n-2019 - $1.59 billion construction awarded with 12% or $194 million awarded to non-union companies;
\r\n-2020 - $1.15 billion construction awarded with 30% or $344 million awarded to non-union companies;
\r\n-33.5% of total construction costs being labour costs; and
\r\n-4.2% average annual wage increase for non-union workers.
\r\n\r\n
These cost increases may have an impact on cash flow funding requirements of applicable capital projects. Capital project cash flows over the 10 year capital planning period are required to reflect annual inflationary estimates based on anticipated year of construction. Financial impacts including full contracted expenditures and funding will be identified in the relevant contracts and/or procurement documents with applicable capital projects.
\r\n\r\n
It should be emphasized that the above financial impacts are high-level estimates based on certain assumptions that are subject to annual variability, projections such as fluctuating non-labour cost impact on total construction costs, estimation methods employed in developing bids, inability to accurately forecast the ratio of contract awards to non-union contractors for future years, etc. Any deviation from the base assumptions will result in changes in the estimated financial impacts.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report provides additional information regarding item GG8.20 from the General Government Committee’s meeting on December 6, 2023. Specifically, it provides an updated financial analysis on proposed changes to Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 67, Fair Wage, and how the proposed changes will clarify how the by-law applies to small businesses.
\r\n\r\n
This report is being submitted to the Executive Committee following its April 9, 2024 decision to refer all matters related to the City's Fair Wage Policy from the General Government Committee to the Executive Committee, for consideration.
\r\n\r\n
At the December 2023 General Government Committee meeting, the Manager, Fair Wage Office, Purchasing and Materials Management Division submitted a report on Item GG8.20 dated November 22, 2023 (the “November Report”). The November Report recommended revisions to Chapter 67, Fair Wage (the \"By-Law\"), and all three of the By-Law's schedules: Schedule A, Fair Wage Policy (the “Policy”); Schedule B, Labour Trades Contractual Obligations in the Construction Industry (the \"Labour Trades\"); and Schedule C, Fair Wage Schedule, 2016-2019 (\"Schedule C\"). This report proposes no additional changes.
\r\n\r\n
Under the By-Law the Manager, Fair Wage Office is delegated authority to update the wage rates in Schedule C every three years, consistent with prevailing market rates in the construction industry. The proposed updated Schedule C reflects wage increases recognized by the construction labour markets. The November Report recommended that the updated Schedule C wage rates take effect for all new City procurements issued on or after January 1, 2024. The new proposed effective date is July 1, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
Proposed changes to the By-Law and Policy include adding definitions and clarifying Policy application provisions regarding \"Owner Operators\" and grant agreements. The proposed changes regarding the Fair Wage Policy not applying to “Owner Operators” would not change how Chapter 67 currently applies to small businesses. The changes further provide clarity as to how the Fair Wage Policy is interpreted regarding grant agreements.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"As one of the City of Toronto appointees to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Board of Directors, I participated in their most recent Standing Committees virtually from February 21 – 23, 2024. I attended the Board of Directors meeting, held in Prince George, British Columbia from March 5 - 7, 2024. With municipal representatives from across Canada, a wide range of issues was discussed such as Federal infrastructure funding (housing), the need for a municipal growth framework, community safety initiatives and supporting asylum claimants.
\r\n\r\n
Meeting during the pre-budget Federal government budget period provided the Board of Directors with an opportunity to focus on FCM's strategic priorities for potential inclusion in the Federal budget. Presentations outlined advocacy efforts for advancing the priorities of member municipalities, while preparing to push these priorities leading into the Annual Conference and Trade Show in Calgary this upcoming June.
\r\n\r\n
FCM and the City of Prince George partnered to offer Board Members a few “Study Tours which I was able to participate in.
\r\n\r\n
Study Tour #1: We visited the site and spoke with the organizing committee of the 2024 Para Biathlon World Championships, and Para Nordic World Cup Finals. The organizers discussed the preparation and planning required for an event of this magnitude, including discussions on costs and procedural steps taken by the municipality. There was a review as well of previous world events (2020- and 2022-Women’s World Curling) hosted by Prince George.
\r\n\r\n
Study Tour #2: We discovered how community the Prince George is a pioneer in addressing climate change through innovative collaboration with First Nations, governments and industries aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. We learned about unique initiatives which make Prince George a leader in Canada’s journey toward net-zero:
\r\n\r\n
- Visited the wood Innovation Research Laboratory. It is a mass timber landmark known for its efficiency and insights into wood building performance.

\r\n\r\n
The conference delegates were able to hear from Mayor Olivia Chow, Premier Doug Ford, Provincial Opposition Party Leaders Marit Stiles, and Bonnie Crombie, as well as several Provincial Cabinet Ministers
\r\n\r\n
The conference theme, \"Connecting Global Change to Local Impacts and Solutions,\" allowed for the holding of over 100 study/technical seminars which reviewed topics critical to the future success of our transportation infrastructure. The topics which were covered included: Ontario's electricity future, harnessing the power of camera technology, innovations in infrastructure service delivery, and smart city innovations. These discussions provided valuable insights and tools which will influence positive change across Ontario communities.
\r\n\r\n
I was able to participate in a Study Tour, which consisted of a bicycle tour by staff from the City of Toronto’s Transportation Department who showed us the evolution of our city’s cycling infrastructure. Over the course of three hours about 40 conference delegates from across Ontario (And two delegates from Australia!) participated in the tour.

\r\n\r\n
a. Design and implement an Engagement and Communication Strategy to ensure ongoing city-wide engagement with the Indigenous and Black communities and local engagement with other equity-deserving communities.
\r\n\r\n
b.

","financialImpactWep":"This report recommends the adoption of the proposed Downsview Community Development Plan by City Council and outlines the community led and inter-divisional approach taken to prepare the proposed plan.
\r\n\r\n
Contingent on City Council’s approval of the Downsview Community Development Plan, the implementation structure to support the action plan will be developed in year 1 following Council approval, including the formalization of the community advisory structure, the Community Impact Table, an Engagement and Communications Strategy and a results-based monitoring and evaluation system. Funding of $25,000 (gross and net) has been included within 2024 Operating Budget for Social Development, Finance and Administration, to fund resident engagement actions for the implementation of this Downsview Community Development Plan. There are no additional resources included in the 2024 Operating Budget for Economic Development and Culture for this initiative. Should any other immediate costs arise from implementation of the Plan, they would be accommodated by Social Development, Finance and Administration and Economic Development and Culture within their 2024 Operating Budgets.
\r\n\r\n
For 2025, if necessary, additional resources for Economic Development and Culture and for Social Development, Finance and Administration, will be included in the 2025 Budget Process for consideration, subject to the City's financial and resources capacity.
\r\n\r\n
The Downsview Community Development Plan is a 30+ year plan and will have significant future year financial implications. Therefore, the full implementation of the plan will require longer-term reviews, more strategic planning among City Divisions and Agencies, public and stakeholder engagement, and collaborative efforts with other orders of government for inter-governmental funding opportunities. Alongside City Divisions and Agencies, the Community Development Plan currently has clear commitments for the property owners (with active or prospective development applications).
\r\n\r\n
As it relates to community services and facilities that are needed to support the estimated growth, it is anticipated to be provided, in part, as in-kind Community Benefits Charge (CBC) contributions. Additional funding for community service facilities is planned to be provided through the City’s capital budget, federal and provincial funding opportunities, and partnerships and philanthropy.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as presented in the Financial Impact section.
","agendaItemSummary":"The Downsview lands present a unique opportunity for the public and private sector to collaborate closely with community partners to build Canada’s largest development project. Over 30+ years and at full build-out, it is estimated that the Downsview Secondary Plan Area will accommodate approximately 115,000 new residents (63,000 units) and 52,000 workers, representing one of the largest city-building efforts in the history of Toronto. This is a transformative opportunity to stitch existing and new communities together, enabling the development of more resilient, equitable and connected communities. As an outcome of the Update Downsview Study, a comprehensive planning framework for the Downsview Area will be brought forward for Council approval. The Update Downsview Study deliverables include:
\r\nWith the exception of the Community Development Plan, the Study deliverables are proceeding through Planning and Housing Committee during the same Council cycle as the Community Development Plan.
\r\n\r\n
Growing evidence suggests that without focused investments in reconciliation, equity and systems-wide strategies and supports, neighbourhoods undergoing intensified development and new investments may undermine broader City commitments to promoting a more just and equitable Toronto. For new investments to positively impact current and future Downsview residents, workers and visitors, holistic supports and policy frameworks must be put in place that reflect the rich engagement with various groups, such as First Nations Rights Holders with rights in Canada under s. 35 of the Constitution (“First Nations Rights Holders”), residents, grassroots groups, not-for-profit organizations, artists, and businesses who may be potentially impacted and/or demonstrate interest for greater presence in the Downsview area. New policies, programs and partnerships must focus where the need is greatest and address the inequities that shape the lives of residents, with priority given to Indigenous and Black residents and communities of Toronto. Downsview’s Secondary Plan undergoing an update triggered the need for a Community Development Plan to support this focused and targeted approach to investing in reconciliation, equity, and systems-wide change. The authority of the Community Development Plan is derived from the Secondary Plan’s enforcement and City Council’s approval.
\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this report is to present the Downsview Community Development Plan for approval, outlining an outcome-driven action plan that is rooted in collaboration between property owners, City divisions, and the community. This report lays out the implementation of the Community Development Plan.
\r\n\r\n
The Downsview Community Development Plan 2024-2029 seizes the opportunity presented by the anticipation of significant growth to centre equity as the basis for Downsview’s redevelopment, reflects in-depth engagement and outlines clear commitments to meet the needs of Indigenous, Black and equity-deserving communities. This process was convened by Social Development, Finance and Administration and Economic Development and Culture in close partnership with City Planning. This has been a unique process and can serve as a model for future Community Development Plans. The Community Development Plan is a 30+ year plan that will be renewed every five years with the first iteration beginning in 2024 and ending in 2029. The Downsview Community Development Plan accompanies the Downsview Secondary Plan, with both aiming to ensure that future residents, visitors, and workers as well as community groups, not-for-profit organizations and businesses are supported as the area is developed over time. To this end, the Downsview Community Development Plan sets out a 5-year implementation plan, as well as direction for the next 30+ years through an Action Plan (subject to future updates).
\r\n\r\n
While the Downsview Secondary Plan, Zoning By-law for Meanwhile Uses, and Urban Design Guidelines will provide direction for interim and future development, the Community Development Plan is focused on Indigenous and Black place-keeping and establishing communities that serve and benefit Indigenous, Black, and equity-deserving communities. Actions to support existing and future Downsview communities under these priorities will continue to evolve through ongoing partnerships and discussions between multiple parties including the City of Toronto, property owners, the local Community Resource Group, First Nations Rights Holders and Indigenous communities, Black communities, and other equity-deserving groups, including residents, artists, community groups, not-for-profit organizations, foundations, as well as, business interest associations, and other private sector partners.
\r\n\r\n
The focus and content of the Community Development Plan are the result of a 2-year community engagement process led by the City through the Update Downsview Study and intensive collaboration between participating City Divisions and Agencies (including CreateTO), and property owners with active development applications (i.e. Northcrest Developments, Canada Lands Company). The Community Development Plan engagement built upon the comprehensive “id8 Downsview” engagement process undertaken by Northcrest Developments and Canada Lands Company in the three years prior to the Update Downsview Study to inform and raise awareness about their Official Plan Amendment Application. Through the engagement process, the Downsview Community Development Plan has identified the following eight priority areas:
\r\nThe Community Development Plan will advance actions across the eight priority areas. The actions will be guided by principles that reflect the City of Toronto's commitments to Indigenous, Black, and equity-deserving groups through the City's Reconciliation Action Plan, Action Plan to Confront Anti-Black Racism and broader equity-driven strategies, initiatives, and programs. In so doing, it is an important demonstration of the City’s approach to inclusive economic development.
\r\n\r\n
In the process of developing the Downsview Community Development Plan, the City has established a strong interdivisional collaboration and community partnership approach that will serve as a strong foundation to support successful implementation. The lessons learned through the engagement and development process and through interdivisional collaboration will continue to inform ongoing monitoring and implementation.

\r\n\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":"Local Arts Service Organizations (LASOs) are independent, not-for-profit, community arts organizations that deliver customized and responsive arts and culture programs, events and services at a local level in outside-the-core neighbourhoods across the city. There are six Local Arts Service Organizations and they advance Economic Development and Culture (EDC)'s divisional strategic direction of promoting cultural vibrancy, offering low-barrier, free and low-cost arts participation opportunities to communities across the city. The Local Arts Service Organizations also provide critical support and capacity-building opportunities to local artists and arts organizations.
\r\n\r\n
Through EDC, the City of Toronto, provides financial support to the six Local Arts Service Organizations, subject to annual contribution agreements. The 2024 Operating Budget for Economic Development and Culture includes a total of $1,817,494 to fund the six Local Arts Service Organizations: Arts Etobicoke, East End Arts, Lakeshore Arts, North York Arts, Scarborough Arts and UrbanArts. The Local Arts Service Organizations received an additional $80,000 inflationary increase through the budget process, bringing the 2024 budget to $1,897,494.
\r\n\r\n
In accordance with Council direction, the purpose of this report is to provide the recommended funding allocation for the Local Arts Service Organizations for 2024. This funding recommendation is based on the Local Arts Service Organizations' 2023 financial and performance reports, reviewed by Economic Development and Culture staff, and is aligned with the City's Community Grant Policy and Economic Development and Culture's grant reform efforts to make Economic Development and Culture's grant process more equitable, inclusive and transparent.
\r\n\r\n
Funding to the Local Arts Service Organizations is a critical component of the City's support for arts and culture in communities outside of the core. Local Arts Service Organizations play a key role in providing essential arts services, working to meet identified community needs and deliver programs to serve artists, children and youth, seniors, newcomers, 2SLGBTQIA+, Indigenous, Black, Persons of Colour and equity-deserving community members.

","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority to provide a two (2) year extension to Various Purchase Orders and Blanket Contracts issued to Various Vendors for the Corporate Learning Services Providers beyond the original 5-year term. This will allow People and Equity and divisions to complete the work already started and to continue to provide Learning Service Providers access, while People and Equity conducts further needs analysis for corporate learning needs for future procurement of new services. No additional dollar value is being requested.
\r\n\r\n
On August 1, 2019, purchase orders and blanket contracts were executed for Request for Proposal Number 9155-18-7093 for a variety of learning series, such as those related to employee engagement, improving customer service, leadership development, improving communication, project management and equity and diversity.
\r\n\r\n
The vendors provide learning for the courses for the Toronto Public Service program as well as for the Intact Team Training program through purchase orders and blanket contracts (attached). Divisions access the Learning Services Providers services through the blanket contracts and the Intact Team Training program. The purchase orders are used by People and Equity to procure corporate level in-person and Virtual Instructor Led Training for the Toronto Public Service.
\r\n\r\n
Through the Intact Team Training program, divisions such as Toronto Paramedics Services access the blanket contract to provide Human Rights training to all new recruits. Access to the blanket contract reduces the need for the division to acquire three quotes and provides consistency to the learning provided as all recruits receive the same training from the same provider at a cost that was vetted through the Request for Proposal process.
\r\n\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to seek authority from City Council to amend non-competitive Blanket Contract 47022515 with Joe Johnson Equipment to extend the contract validity and date by an additional 5 year term and increase the budget by $2,743,207 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($2,791,488 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries). The term extension will revise the maximum duration from five (5) years to ten (10) years, where all optional extension years are exhausted. This blanket contract value increase will revise the target value from $1,761,067 to $4,504,274, net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($5,089,830 including all taxes and charges, $4,583,099 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).
\r\n\r\n
The contract is for the supply and delivery of labour, materials, and equipment necessary to provide overflow warranty and non-warranty Original Equipment Manufacturer authorized parts and services for Labrie, Vactor, Elgin, Trackless, and any other Original Equipment Manufacturer for which Joe Johnson Equipment is an authorized parts and service dealer. The parts and specialized services cannot be obtained through the competitive procurement process as Joe Johnson Equipment is the only authorized dealer in the Greater Toronto Area.
\r\n\r\n
This equipment is required to ensure the continued delivery of critical services across the City of Toronto, specifically to support and maintain water infrastructure for Toronto Water Operations and to support haulage operations for Solid Waste Management. Access to Original Equipment Manufacturer parts and specialized services for warranty / non warranty repair and maintenance is vital to ensuring that units are safe, reliable and available when required.
\r\n\r\n
Additionally, completing preventative maintenance services in line with Original Equipment Manufacturer recommended standards and specifications supports Fleet Services’ ongoing work to advance fleet availability and reliability by optimizing fleet performance and equipment health and safety. A better return on investment is also expected, with well maintained vehicles having a lengthy lifespan, and yielding greater returns at the end of their life cycle.
\r\n\r\n
City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195-Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five (5) year commitment for each vendor, under Article 7, Section 195-7.3 (D) of the Purchasing By-Law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71-Financial Control, Section 71-11.1.

","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to request authority to enter into two new non-competitive contracts and to amend multiple non-competitive and competitive Blanket Contracts and Purchase Orders. These Blanket Contract and Purchase Order Amendments are necessary due to the ongoing operational expenses that are required to maintain the shelter system, including providing catering services in temporary shelter sites in hotels, short-term emergency accommodation for refugees and families, a centralized intake system, interpretation services, and maintaining a state of good repair. Suspending any of these services would have significant impacts on the City’s ability to operate the shelter system and to adhere to the Toronto Shelter Standards.
\r\n\r\n
This report requests authority from General Government Committee to enter into two (2) new non-competitive blanket contracts; amend three (3) non-competitive blanket contracts and one (1) non-competitive purchase order; and amend three (3) competitive blanket contracts, all established to support critical services for the shelter system.
\r\n\r\n
The funds for all blanket contracts outlined in this report are non-committed. The funds for the non-competitive purchase order are committed. Where services are being provided in a temporary shelter site located in a hotel, those services can be terminated at no cost to the City if that site closes before the end of the contract.

Currently, there is insufficient funding in Toronto Water's Approved 2024 Capital Budget and 2025-2033 Capital Plan to support the award of Doc4328129808. Additional funding is required to accommodate costs that are shown in Table 1 above.
\r\n\r\n
The approval of Recommendation 2 will authorize the reallocation of funding for additional project costs to support the Doc4328129808 as outlined in Table 2 below. The additional costs for the award will be offset from funds available from Scarborough Reservoir Surge Tank Construction project (CPW060-17) and Ozonation System Rehab project (CPW062-15). The Scarborough Reservoir Surge Tank Construction is being awarded underbudget and funds are available to be reallocated to CPW060-16 PS Rehab – Phase 2 - Construction. The Horgan Water Treatment Plant’s Ozonation System Rehab project is delayed and is no longer forecasted to start in 2024, as a result, funds are available for reallocation. Funding for the Ozonation System Rehab project will be reviewed as part of the prioritization of Toronto Water's 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan submission. There are no additional costs to the City as a result of the approval of this report.

The proposed updates to the Procurement Processes Policy include the addition of policy considerations regarding the use of fairness consultants.

This report recommends the Chief Procurement Officer report back in the first quarter of 2025 with required updates. The additional time will provide staff the opportunity to identify how the procurement process can best advance divisional TransformTO objectives and how the Purchasing and Materials Management Division can directly advance TransformTO through the use of procurement.

Toronto Employment and Social Services’ cost of basic rent on the leased space is funded through an annual budget allocation. Designating the property leased as a Municipal Capital Facility and providing an exemption from taxes will reduce the rental amount paid by Toronto Employment and Social Services. The savings from the designation as a Municipal Capital Facility for the location identified in Table 1 above have been accounted for and included in the 2024 Operating Budget for Toronto Employment and Social Services.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report seeks City Council's authority for the adoption of the necessary By-Law to designate a portion of the property owned by 2366829 Ontario Limited leased to the Toronto Employment and Social Services as a Municipal Capital Facility, and to provide an exemption for municipal taxes and education taxes. The Municipal Capital Facility agreement authorized by the By-Law will provide an exemption for unit 225 which is approximately 34,658 square feet at 2900 Warden Avenue.

3. City Council amend City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, as follows:
\r\n\r\n
a. By inserting a new definition of \"Low-Speed Vehicle\" in Section 950-101B in alphabetical order, to read as follows:
\r\n\r\n
\"LOW-SPEED VEHICLE - means a motor vehicle as defined in Ontario Regulation 215/17 Pilot Project - Low-Speed Vehicles, as amended, made under the Highway Traffic Act. In the event that a low-speed vehicle is otherwise defined in the Highway Traffic Act and its regulations, low-speed vehicle shall then have the meaning as defined in the Highway Traffic Act and its regulation.\"; and
\r\n\r\n
b. By inserting a new section 950-200F, which states, \"No person shall operate or permit the operation of a low-speed vehicle on a highway unless the vehicle meets, and is operating in accordance with, the requirements in Ontario Regulation 215/17.\"
\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n
6. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with relevant internal Divisions and Agencies, Boards and Commissions, and external interested and affected parties, to convene a multi-partner table, including but not limited to food delivery app companies, gig workers, the Toronto Association for Business Improvement Areas, and community groups representing persons with disabilities, pedestrians, seniors, and cyclists, and relevant Divisions and Agencies, Boards and Commissions, to collaborate on a public education campaign on the rules of the road, safe riding skills, and other initiatives to address concerns that arise, and to work collectively to address safety issues.
\r\n
7. City Council request the Toronto Police Services Board to request the Chief of Police, in consultation with the General Manager, Transportation Services, to conduct an educational blitz in the summer of 2024, and in the spring and the fall beginning in 2025 to enhance public awareness of key safety issues, i.e. illegal sidewalk riding, wrong way riding in cycle tracks, illegal e-moped use in cycle tracks, and illegal parking in bike lanes.
\r\n
8. City Council request the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario to establish set fines under the Highway Traffic Act for use of micromobility vehicles which are not compliant with the definitions and / or recommendations under the Highway Traffic Act, and to communicate those set fines to police services across Ontario.
\r\n\r\n
9. City Council request the Ontario Ministry of Finance and the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario to consult the insurance industry and other relevant parties on developing mandatory first and third party insurance requirements for micromobility vehicles and their operators and to establish a micromobility accident fund accessible to those who are injured in micromobility incidents where no insurance exists to respond to their claim.
\r\n\r\n
10. City Council request Transport Canada to regulate micromobility vehicle safety and battery safety requirements, standards, testing and labelling, for point of sale and importation; and in creating those regulations, to consult with key interested and affected parties with expertise in micromobility vehicle design and safety, and universal accessibility.
\r\n\r\n
11. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bills to give effect to City Council's decision and City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make any necessary clarifications, refinements, minor modifications, technical amendments, or by-law amendments as may be identified by the City Solicitor or General Manager, Transportation Services, in order to give effect to the adopted recommendations.
","financialImpactWep":"Transportation Services confirms that there are no financial implications for this budget year resulting from the recommendations included in this report. Any financial impacts for future years’ budget will be included in the 2025 Budget submission. The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"Micromobility is a term for small, low speed, light weight vehicles - including bicycles, cargo bikes / trikes, folding bikes, electric two / three / four-wheeled cycles, electric kick-scooters (e-scooters), e-mopeds, and electric mini-cars. Their use / ownership may be personal / private, shared / rental, or commercial / corporate (e.g. for deliveries). In July 2023, Council requested a strategy to address growing micromobility usage and its safe operation within the city. Council also requested that staff recommend whether to opt in to additional pilot projects under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act. To inform this report, Transportation Services staff reviewed other jurisdictions and conducted extensive public engagement, and consulted internally with over 20 City Divisions, agencies, boards and commissions.
\r\n\r\n
This report outlines key policy goals for the strategy and the criteria against which new micromobility opportunities are assessed: these are safety, mobility, the environment, equity and inclusion, health and public health, economic vitality, costs and liability. Staff previously recommended, and Council adopted, participation in two Ontario Highway Traffic Act pilot projects: 1) cargo power-assisted bicycles (2021) that are widely applicable for family use / commuters and for parcel deliveries by companies (such as Fed Ex and Purolator) and 2) large quadricycles (2022). In 2021, based on staff recommendation, Council declined opting in to the e-scooter pilot. This report assesses the opportunities for the low-speed vehicles pilot, and again for e-scooters. Applying the criteria, staff recommend opting in to pilot low-speed vehicles and continuing to decline to opt in to the e-scooter pilot. Any potential benefits of an e-scooter pilot appear to be outweighed by negative impacts on injuries to riders and non-riders, costs and liability to the City, and mode shift (mostly replacing walking and public transit).
\r\n\r\n
The proposed strategy emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to ensuring micromobility safety, including the importance of safe infrastructure, its design and maintenance. Public engagement and collaboration with external and internal partners will also be key to address micromobility safety and food delivery industry issues, such as safe riding and battery fire prevention. Licensing micromobility is not recommended as the City does not have the powers under the City of Toronto Act, 2006 to license couriers, as well as several other reasons including jurisdiction, cost, ineffectiveness and impacts on environmental and equity goals. Key next steps are a concerted public education campaign on the rules for micromobility in Toronto; and involvement of federal and provincial governments in supporting micromobility.

","financialImpactWep":"The estimated cost to implement the road resurfacing, sidewalk improvements, bikeways, and other complete street features as well as one position recommended in this report is $7,500,000. Funding is available for these capital projects categorized as a service improvement and enhancement in the approved 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services.
A new temporary full-time equivalent position is proposed for addition to the approved 2024 Operating Budget. The position, along with its associated cost of $96,000 gross and $0 net, will be fully funded in the approved 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services.
The annual funding required to maintain the new cycling infrastructure once constructed is expected to be approximately $88,000 for sweeping and $184,000 for winter maintenance. Funding for this maintenance can be accommodated within the approved 2024 Operating Budget for Transportation Services. Funding required for ongoing maintenance costs would be considered as part of future operating budget submissions for Transportation Services.

\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as contained in the Financial Impact Section.
","agendaItemSummary":"With Metrolinx's construction of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit nearing completion, Transportation Services has been preparing to complete roadway resurfacing of the Eglinton Avenue corridor, including the installation of the eglintonTOday Complete Street Project between Bicknell Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road - marking the end of over a decade of construction.
\r\n\r\n
The City-Council endorsed Eglinton Connects plan articulates a vision for Eglinton Avenue as a complete street with wide sidewalks, raised bikeways, motor vehicle parking and rapid transit, and is aligned with the City's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, TransformTO Net Zero Strategy and Cycling Network Plan policy goals.
\r\n\r\n
The eglintonTOday project seeks to build on the transit investment in order to achieve key elements of the Eglinton Connects vision. The project design was developed with two years of public, business, and resident group feedback, extensive traffic analysis, and a context-sensitive approach making the street safer, more inviting, and attractive, while maintaining access for people who drive.
\r\n\r\n
As part of this project, three north-south local bikeways connecting Eglinton Avenue and nearby trails are proposed on Croham Road, Glen Cedar Road, and Jimmy Wisdom Way.
\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this report is to seek Council authority to install 8.06 centreline kilometres of new complete street features including bikeways along with the resurfacing of Eglinton Avenue. The proposed bikeways will close the gaps between the existing disconnected cycle tracks built at the frontages of 9 above-ground Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit stations, and west of Bicknell Avenue and between Avenue Road and Holly Street, and provide connecting local cycling routes, on the following streets:
\r\n\r\n
- Eglinton Avenue: Bicknell Avenue to Mount Pleasant Road (cycle tracks, Wards 5, 8, 9, and 12)
\r\n\r\n
- Croham Road: Eglinton Avenue West to Bowie Avenue (contra-flow bike lanes, Ward 8)
\r\n\r\n
- Glen Cedar Road: Eglinton Avenue West to Dewbourne Avenue (contra-flow bike lanes, Ward 12)
\r\n\r\n
- Jimmy Wisdom Way: Eglinton Avenue West to Hopewell Avenue (bicycle lanes and contra-flow bike lanes, Ward 8)
\r\n\r\n
The project proposes to implement complete street features including cycle tracks, curb extensions, pedestrian head start signals, and public realm upgrades on Eglinton Avenue between Bicknell Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road by reassigning some of the existing vehicular space to accommodate parking, bikeways, seasonal patio extensions, and other complete street features, and to fit within the existing curb to curb space:

- Between Keele Street and Caledonia Road, two westbound motor vehicle lanes and one eastbound motor vehicle lane are proposed to be maintained, generally with on-street parking on one side.
\r\n\r\n
- Between Caledonia Road and Oakwood Avenue, one motor vehicle lane in each direction are proposed to be maintained with parking on both sides.
\r\n\r\n
- Between Oakwood Avenue and Spadina Road, two westbound and two eastbound motor vehicle lanes are proposed to be maintained in the peak hours, with off-peak parking allowed in both curb lanes.
\r\n\r\n
- Between Spadina Road and Mount Pleasant Road, one westbound and one eastbound motor vehicle lane with parking on one side is proposed to be maintained to match the Metrolinx delivered section between Yonge Street and Avenue Road.
\r\n\r\n
If the continuous cycle tracks are not approved for installation, Transportation Services would recommend that the short segments of disconnected cycle tracks already built in front of the underground stations be closed. Without connecting bikeways, these short segments have limited utility for people cycling and would require people cycling to merge in and out of higher speed motor vehicle lanes, resulting in safety issues and confusion around where people cycling should be on the road.
\r\n\r\n
Subject to approval from Council, Transportation Services would implement the complete street project between Bicknell Avenue and Mount Pleasant Road starting in summer 2024, in conjunction with road resurfacing, sidewalk repair, and TTC bus stop changes to prepare for the opening of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit.
\r\n\r\n
In the vicinity of the Eglinton Avenue and Allen Road intersection, the complete street project for the section between Old Park Road / Glen Cedar Road and Marlee Avenue would be implemented only after adjustments are made to improve traffic operations at the intersection.
\r\n\r\n
There are five Business Improvement Areas within the project limits. The Business Improvement Areas are at the initial stages of planning for near term streetscape enhancements. Business Improvement Area streetscape plans will identify elements such as parkettes, gateway features, enhanced pedestrian infrastructure, green infrastructure, street furniture, lighting, activation strategies, branding opportunities, bicycle parking and maintenance and management guidelines.
\r\n\r\n
Transportation Services has identified funding to support the delivery of the Business Improvement Areas' key streetscape enhancement projects and has committed to leading a multi-divisional team to leverage resources and identify opportunities to implement elements of the Business Improvement Area streetscape plans. Given the time required for the Business Improvement Areas to complete streetscape plans, design, and construction tendering, delivery of priority streetscape enhancements is anticipated to begin at the earliest in 2026.
\r\n\r\n
As part of this report, Transportation Services is continuing to utilize the streamlined reporting process for by-law amendment submissions associated with cycling infrastructure projects approved by Council for implementation. Once projects are approved by Council, the streamlined process involves delegation of authority to submit bills directly to Council for a discreet period of time (approximately two years after project implementation is anticipated) which enables Transportation Services to make minor adjustments to constructed conditions without delay and based on local Councillor and public feedback, such as parking adjustments to improve sightlines, adjustments or addition of accessible loading areas, and similar modifications.
\r\n\r\n
It is proposed that later in 2024, Transportation Services would begin the design and public consultation on the second phase of the eglintonTOday project between Mount Pleasant Road and Brentcliffe Road, with a report to Infrastructure and Environment Committee on recommendations for Phase 2 anticipated in 2025.

","agendaItemSummary":"King Street is a significant east-west corridor in the Downtown, serving the largest concentration of jobs in the entire country. King Street is also a key destination for culture, heritage, entertainment, and retail uses, along with significant residential intensification along the King Street Transit Priority Corridor and in the downtown more generally.
\r\n\r\n
The 504 King streetcar is the busiest surface transit route in the city and services the King Street Transit Priority Corridor, between Bathurst Street and Jarvis Street. The Transit Priority Corridor aims to provide customers with improved transit reliability, speed, and capacity by giving priority to streetcars over private vehicles. It also provides customers with a critical transit connection, particularly with significant construction on parallel corridors in the downtown such as Queen Street, with the Ontario Line construction currently underway.
\r\n\r\n
As requested by City Council through Member Motion 12.1 Automated Traffic Enforcement on King Street in November 2023, this report provides an update on a number of matters that Transportation Services, in partnership with the Toronto Transit Commission and ongoing support from Toronto Police Service, has been advancing to improve the reliability of the Transit Priority Corridor in the near term, as well as an update on the feasibility of implementing automated traffic enforcement along the Transit Priority Corridor.

","financialImpactWep":"There is no financial impact from the adoption of the recommendations outlined in this staff report.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's approval to allow for the expansion of the Free-Floating Car Share Program through several Municipal Code amendments. These changes include exemptions from, the city-wide 3-hour unsigned parking rule, restricted parking prohibitions on highways with maximum permitted limits of one (1) hour or more, and from parking prohibitions, in the former North York, from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., from December 1 of one year to March 31 of the next following year on highways set out in Schedule IV to City of Toronto Municipal code Chapter 950. In addition, the report also seeks to remove the limits for the number of permits issued to one company (currently set at 1,000 permits on a first-come-first-serve basis) and the total number of permits that can be issued city-wide (currently limited to 2,000).
\r\n\r\n
Given that the primary focus of the existing program is to allow parking in permit parking areas, should City Council approve Municipal Code amendments associated with these exemptions, the Free-Floating Car-Share program will become more accessible to those residents living in neighbourhoods located in the former Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke-York areas of the city, which are outside permit parking areas.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Over the last year, there has been a marked increase in graffiti tagging throughout the City including hateful messages, on both City property and private property, in part resulting from the global conflicts such as in the Middle East.
\r\n\r\n
Combating graffiti is an ongoing challenge that requires a combination of public awareness and graffiti removal by the City and private property owners. One cost-effective and attractive City building method of addressing graffiti is encouraging murals on private buildings and on City property as murals are seldom tagged with graffiti.
\r\n\r\n
Whether it is litter, garbage, or property in disrepair, there is a need to remind residents that if care is taken through daily upkeep and regular cleanup, it encourages pride of place and a greater appreciation of keeping the City safe and clean as espoused in the “broken windows theory” which proposes that a safer and more beautiful City results when we collectively take care of the daily surroundings in our communities.

\r\n\r\n
17. City Council deem that the funding agreement authorized by Recommendation 16 above is not subject to the Donations to the City of Toronto For Community Benefits Policy on the basis that the study is in the public interest of the City and advancing the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment or appropriate major infrastructure studies will allow for the design of the transportation infrastructure to be coordinated effectively with private development in a manner consistent with the Council-approved Downsview Secondary Plan.
","financialImpactWep":"The hard infrastructure required to support the growth expected in the Plan Area, including new streets, active mobility routes, rail crossings, and servicing infrastructure, will be secured through the development review process. This includes infrastructure needs outside the Plan Area boundaries to support growth within the Plan Area. Beyond that, infrastructure timing and funding will need to be determined and prioritized against other city-wide capital projects and operating impacts, both funded and unfunded, through the capital budget plan and operating budget processes.
\r\n\r\n
Community service facilities needed to support the estimated growth are anticipated to be provided, in part, as in-kind Community Benefits Charge contributions. Additional funding for community service facilities is planned to be provided through the City’s capital budget, federal and provincial funding opportunities, and partnerships.
\r\n\r\n
Beyond the infrastructure to be secured through the development review process, the capital costs anticipated for implementing the preferred transportation solution identified in the MESP, based on preliminary estimates, is approximately $38.72 million over a 20-year timeframe, in 2023 dollars. These shared capital costs are required to advance infrastructure projects in the Plan Area outside of lands with current development applications. Table 1 itemizes the costs and implementation timelines associated with the preferred solutions. Refer to Attachment 10 for the location of these improvements.
\r\n\r\n
Table 1: Preliminary Cost Estimates for Preferred Transportation Solution
\r\n\r\n
| \r\n \r\n | \r\n\r\n Recommended Infrastructure \r\n | \r\n\r\n Cost \r\n(in 2023 dollars) \r\n | \r\n\r\n Implementation Timeline \r\n | \r\n
| \r\n 1. \r\n | \r\n\r\n Existing Dufferin Street from Beffort Road to Highway 401 \r\n | \r\n\r\n $11.35M \r\n | \r\n\r\n 10 to 20 years \r\n | \r\n
| \r\n 2. \r\n | \r\n\r\n Transit Road Realignment \r\n | \r\n\r\n $26.92M \r\n | \r\n\r\n 5 to 10 years \r\n | \r\n
\r\n
Given the implementation timeline, no provision has been made for these projects in Transportation Services' 2024-2033 Capital Plan. Subject to Council's approval of this report, staff will develop a funding strategy to identify potential funding sources to implement the preferred transportation solution in the MESP. Any potential City funding requirements would be considered as part of future year capital budget processes.
\r\n\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 provides the recommended comprehensive planning framework for the Downsview area over the next 30 years to guide development of resilient, sustainable and equitable complete communities. Included in this report are four recommended deliverables:
\r\n\r\n
· Downsview Secondary Plan (“Plan”);
\r\n· Zoning By-law for Meanwhile Uses (“Meanwhile ZBL”);
\r\n· Downsview Urban Design Guidelines (“UDGs”); and
\r\n· Master Environmental Servicing Plan (“MESP”).
\r\n\r\n
A fifth deliverable, the Downsview Community Development Plan (“CDP”), is proceeding through the Economic and Community Development Committee in the same Council cycle.
\r\n\r\n
Over an anticipated 30 year build-out, the Downsview Secondary Plan Area (“Plan Area”) will accommodate approximately 115,000 new residents (63,000 units) and 52,000 workers, representing one of the largest city-building efforts in the history of Toronto. The Secondary Plan facilitates a significant amount of new housing – including affordable housing – that contributes to achieving the City’s housing targets, as well as employment growth that contributes to the local and regional economy. This is a transformative opportunity to leverage the area’s important past and to connect existing and new communities in accordance with two overarching goals: climate resilience and environmental sustainability, and achieving equitable outcomes for Indigenous, Black and equity-deserving groups. All deliverables align with these goals to provide an integrated approach for future private and public investment.
\r\n\r\n
The recommended deliverables are the outcome of the Update Downsview Study (\"Study\"), initiated by the City in September 2021 following City Council's approval of Site and Area Specific Policy (\"SASP\") 596 in February 2021. The Study was informed by a comprehensive engagement program, interdivisional and inter-agency working groups, concurrent review of aligned initiatives, and analysis and preparation of a number of studies informed by the provincial policy and legislative context as well as the City’s Official Plan.
\r\n\r\n
Staff have reported twice to City Council on the Study, most recently in May of 2023 with updates on the draft deliverables. This report brings forward the final recommended deliverables, and describes the implementation process and next steps, including District Plans and associated development applications, CDP implementation, further studies required to advance major infrastructure projects, and activating permissions for the lands in the years before future development proceeds.

","agendaItemSummary":"Toronto is a dynamic, growing city which continues to attract newcomers, with at least 700,000 new Torontonians expected by 2051. To continue to thrive, both current and future residents will need homes that accommodate the diversity of household sizes and compositions across the city, and as a result, Toronto needs a diverse range of housing options. In recent years, the city’s housing growth has largely been in mid-rise and high-rise buildings concentrated in densely populated areas like the Downtown, Centres, and Avenues, while the supply of low-rise housing, such as townhouses and small-scale apartment buildings, has not kept up with demand.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto’s low-rise Neighbourhoods are changing, but much of this change has come through expanding and rebuilding single-detached homes, through refreshing the existing housing with larger homes. The addition of secondary suites, laneway suites, and garden suites has occurred more slowly. More recently, new permissions for Multiplexes have enabled buildings with up to four units across the city. Introducing additional permissions for townhouses and small-scale apartment buildings can allow Neighbourhoods to add more housing that complements existing neighbourhood housing while creating a more intensive edge to the neighbourhoods along the major streets.
\r\n\r\n
Townhouses and small-scale apartment buildings have been providing housing in many Toronto neighbourhoods for generations. By expanding permissions for this type of housing across the city, additional housing can be developed to expand the range of ground-related/low-rise housing options to support those who cannot afford a detached or semi-detached home, but who will contribute to the stability of neighbourhoods and benefit from the access to these stable environments in support of families and young Torontonians that want to set down roots across the city.
\r\n\r\n
Permitting a broader variety of building types along major streets is generally consistent with the Official Plan. The Official Plan recognizes that major streets provide opportunities for additional density along the boundaries of the neighbourhoods. Providing land use permissions for townhouses and small-scale apartment buildings will provide a degree of height and density transition from growth areas to the interior of the Neighbourhoods. This initiative is one component of Toronto's 2022 - 2026 Housing Action Plan, which seeks to increase the supply of housing within complete, inclusive, and sustainable communities with critical infrastructure to support growth. It is in keeping with the recently adopted new Chapter 1 to the Official Plan vision to eliminate disparities, prioritize climate action, and to become the world’s most inclusive city.
\r\n\r\n
To remove barriers and enable the creation of Neighbourhoods related housing, this report proposes an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) to permit townhouses and small-scale apartment buildings along the major streets in Neighbourhoods areas across the city. A Zoning By-law Amendment is also recommended to implement these permissions as-of-right in all residential zones across Toronto, and to implement appropriate performance standards. As part of the Zoning By-law Amendment, changes are recommended to enhance existing regulations requiring confirmation of adequate water and wastewater servicing for those applications with more than 10 dwelling units.
\r\n\r\n
The recommended amendments will maintain a neighbourhood scale and align moderate density with transportation corridors and transit routes. With as-of-right zoning permissions, this type of housing can be delivered relatively quickly as owners will only be required to obtain a building permit (and Site Plan Approval, when applicable) rather than official plan or zoning by-law approvals. Once enabled, it will remain the choice of the individual property owner whether to exercise these permissions.
\r\n\r\n
The addition of townhouse and small-scale apartment buildings along the edges of Neighbourhoods throughout the city, will provide more diversity of housing, and support neighbourhood facilities and access to amenities. New residents in Toronto’s neighbourhoods can help stabilize declining populations, make better use of existing infrastructure, and support local retail establishments and services.
\r\n\r\n
These additional built form permissions introduce housing forms that are already present in many parts of the city into neighbourhoods that have historically been zoned to restrict housing types, helping the city distribute growth more evenly and to accommodate the needs of Toronto's diverse population.

","financialImpactWep":"Although Infrastructure Ontario (IO) delivers the TOC Program, the City's involvement in the Program is substantial and includes the review of early TOC design concepts, support for public engagement, review of formal TOC development submissions, review of draft Minister’s Zoning Orders and input into IO Market Offering documents. Because TOCs do not follow typical City planning approval processes, IO does not pay application fees. As such, funding for temporary staff positions is required to support the implementation of the Program and to ensure the City’s interests are addressed.
\r\n\r\n
The total cost of these temporary full-time resources covers a period from September 20, 2023, to March 31, 2026, and will be fully recovered from Infrastructure Ontario to a maximum of $4.906M in 2023 (retroactive), $5.102M in 2024, $5.152M in 2025 and $1.759M in 2026. The resource requirements to support the TOC program will be reviewed annually with Infrastructure Ontario.
\r\n\r\n
Upon Council authorization, Infrastructure Ontario and City staff will finalize an agreement to fund these resources. This agreement will include funding for 12 new and 13 existing permanent and temporary Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions. The existing temporary FTE positions support the Provincial transit program and have divided their time with the TOC program to date. The costs of the work of these temporary positions on transit projects will continue to be recovered from Metrolinx while their time spent on TOC projects will be recovered from Infrastructure Ontario. The TOC related costs of the existing permanent positions will also be recoverable from Infrastructure Ontario. Table 1 provides a summary of the cost of the new positions needed for this program.
\r\nFunding for the existing positions will be included in future years budget submissions. The temporary positions will expire on March 31, 2026, and will be renewable in subsequent years through agreements with Infrastructure Ontario.

","agendaItemSummary":"This report provides an update on matters related to the Provincial Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) program and proposals that have progressed over the past year.
\r\n\r\n
Firstly, it provides a status update on the TOC program and process including the Provincial Value Allocation Framework that covers community benefits for individual TOC proposals. The report also seeks Council approval to enter into an agreement with Infrastructure Ontario (IO) to cover costs of City staff time required to process TOC submissions within the provincially expected timelines. The terms of the proposed agreement generally mirror cost recovery agreements signed with Metrolinx related to the work of City staff on Provincial transit projects.
\r\n\r\n
Secondly, the report provides an update on all TOCs to date on two of the four provincial priority transit projects: the Ontario Line and Scarborough Subway Extension. This section includes updates on site-specific Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) for TOC sites currently in market, final comments on the Gerrard Carlaw North TOC, and a summary of planning comments, outstanding issues, opportunities to secure City priorities and updates on community engagement on a second round of TOCs submitted to the City for review in late 2023. The report concludes with next steps on the process to resolve the concerns identified by City staff and the community.

A property may be designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, if it meets two or more of the nine criteria. Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations for the property, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
\r\n\r\n
On April 3, 2024, Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the staff report regarding 26 Millwood Road - Residential Demolition Application number 24 113823 DEM 00 DM until their May 7, 2024, meeting.

","agendaItemSummary":"On April 10, 2024, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing introduced Bill 185 – Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act. The proposed Bill affects 17 acts, including the City of Toronto Act, Planning Act, Development Charges Act and others. Bill 185 has reached second reading and was referred to the Province’s Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs. On April 10th, the Province also released a revised Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (the \"Planning Statement\") and a new Minister Zoning Order (MZO) framework. The Planning Statement, which if adopted, will replace the existing Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (the “PPS”) and include some policies from A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (the “Growth Plan”). The Growth Plan is proposed to be repealed.
\r\n\r\n
The Province's 30-day commenting period on the proposed Bill 185, the revised Planning Statement and the new MZO framework closes on May 10, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
Multiple divisions are reviewing Bill 185, the revised Planning Statement and new MZO framework. Staff will provide a supplementary report containing analysis and recommendations on the proposed legislative and policy changes. This report will be made available prior to the Planning and Growth Management Committee Meeting scheduled for May 9, 2024.

","financialImpactWep":"Bill 185 impacts 17 Provincial Acts. Financial impacts, arising from the changes, including implementation of the policies in the proposed Provincial Planning Statement, if adopted, will be subject to future reporting.
\r\n\r\n
Changes to the Development Charges Act, including repealing of the five-year phase-in and reinstating growth studies, could reduce some of the negative impacts of More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) on the City's ability to fund growth in a sustainable way. However, many Bill 23 changes were not repealed, such as the removal of housing as an eligible Development Charge service (estimated $1.3 billion impact over 10-years) and the provincial phase-in discount for projects with frozen rates (potentially up to $570 million impact). Some changes proposed, such as changes to the time limit on frozen DC rates, while having a positive impact on development, are estimated to have minimal financial impact. Staff’s preliminary estimate is that these changes will reduce Bill 23 impacts (estimated previously at $2.3 billion over 10 years) by approximately $144 million over a 10-year period.
\r\n\r\n
Staff will continue to monitor and assess the changes based on the final legislation proclaimed, and in consideration of other intergovernmental funding announcements.
","agendaItemSummary":"The policy-led planning system under which Ontario municipalities have operated has experienced numerous changes over the last several years, requiring the City to continuously review, examine and adapt its planning policies and practices. The frequency of changes has created a level of land use uncertainty for approval authorities, development industry and communities.
\r\n\r\n
On April 10, 2024, the Province introduced the Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024 (Bill 185), which proposes amendments to 17 Provincial Acts. The Province also released an updated draft of the proposed Provincial Planning Statement 2024 (\"PPS 2024\") which combines the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (PPS 2020) and A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020 (Growth Plan) into a signal document. In addition, the Province introduced a new Minister's Zoning Order Framework.
\r\n\r\n
The Province provided stakeholders 30 days to review and provide comments on these proposals. Comments are due by May 10, 2024. As of the date of this report, Bill 185 received second reading and was ordered for Public Hearings on May 7, 14 and 15, 2024 before the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs. Staff recommend submission of this report to the Standing Committee following Planning and Housing Committee's consideration of this report. Staff will forward to the Province Council's comments raised at the May 22-24 City Council meeting when it will consider this report.
\r\n\r\n
Specifically, Bill 185 proposes numerous amendments to the Planning Act, Development Charges Act, City of Toronto Act and other legislation. With the introduction of the PPS 2024, the Province intends to repeal the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (\"Growth Plan\") and has incorporated some of its policies into the PPS 2024. The elimination of several Growth Plan policies reduces the role of intensification and increases the role of greenfield development across the region to accommodate residential growth.
\r\n\r\n
Proposed changes to the Development Charges Act reverse some, but not all, of the previously introduced changes through Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, that substantially impact the City's ability to collect development charges to fund growth-related services. The outstanding Bill 23 impacts, coupled with previous iterative changes to the growth funding tools, continues to negatively affect the City's ability to provide services and infrastructure to growth in a fiscally sustainable way, although the proposed amendments are a step in the right direction. The Province has also proclaimed the Affordable and Attainable Unit exemptions for development charges, community benefits charge and parks levy into force, effective June 1, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
The comments and suggested revisions contained in this report and its attachments have been developed in consultation with City Divisions. This report provides a high-level summary of key Bill 185 proposals, Minister's Zoning Order Framework and PPS 2024 changes. Attachments to the report outline detailed staff comments and suggested revisions, which will be submitted to the Province's commenting portal.
\r\n\r\n
Staff support several of the proposed changes, as these changes wind back changes that the Province previously put in place which were not previously supported by Council. Several of the changes would require the City to revisit recently implemented policies, practices and operations. Given the overlapping themes between Bill 185 and the PPS 2024, this report organizes staff analysis and comments into five headings, under which the specific impacts of the proposed changes on the City are described.

The PPS 2024 reshapes land use planning in Ontario with significant implications for the City. Bill 185 introduces significant modifications to the policy framework for planning and development in Ontario, with impacts on Toronto. Although staff generally support the intent and purpose of streamlining the development review process, this report highlights implications and potential unintended consequences that could hinder desired outcomes and suggest considering alternative approaches.

\r\n\r\n
2. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards to consider the impacts of COVID on working arrangements in the review of zoning regulations requested above.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Recently, constituents in Etobicoke North have raised the issue of commercial vehicles parking in residential driveways. The City-wide zoning by-law 569-2013 prohibits approximately ten types of vehicles from parking on private residential properties. These prohibitions include vehicles with more than six wheels, large industrial vehicles, or commercially licensed vehicles to name a few.
\r\n\r\n
City Council adopted MM43.12 in May 2022 which directed the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning in consultation with the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards to conduct a review of zoning regulations that restrict outdoor parking of commercially licensed vehicles on private property in residential areas. Through this motion, a report back to Planning and Housing was requested along with the consideration to provide more convenient parking for commercial vehicles near their residence.
\r\n\r\n
However, the City’s strategic priorities in addressing the housing crisis has put this matter on the back burner. Given the changing workplace environment because of COVID, a thorough review of this policy must be done to support and understand the diverse needs of Torontonians. Individuals and their families provide for their households and sustain their livelihoods in various ways. It is crucial to ensure our policies effectively capture these various means of contributing to the economy and align them with our policies.
\r\n\r\n
After meeting with City staff, I am recommending that this item be brought back to the table and made a priority. Building on the existing adopted recommendations, I would also like to request that COVID’s impacts on working arrangements be considered in this review. The modality of working remote or hybrid has become the norm after the pandemic which has impacted the number of parking spaces at commercial buildings and has shifted some service providers’ model of operations to a “on call” basis. Given the City-wide implications of this zoning by-law, this matter is urgent to address and must be assessed through an adaptive lens.

","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":"On June 15, 2022, a Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to permit the development of a four-storey townhouse building containing 10 residential units with a total gross floor area of approximately 2,093 square metres. The proposed development has a building height of 12.4 metres and a density of 1.1 times the area of the lot.
\r\n\r\n
On January 31, 2024, the applicant appealed the Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the prescribed time-frame set out in the Planning Act. An associated Site Plan Control application was also appealed alongside the Zoning By-law Amendment application. A Case Management Conference has been scheduled for June 10, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
On March 4, 2024, the applicant provided a partial set of drawings for a revised proposal to permit 18 back-to-back townhouse units with 41 vehicular parking spaces. The revised proposal has a height of 12 metres, a total gross floor area of approximately 2,978 square metres, and a density that is 1.5 times the area of the lot. This report reviews the original proposal in detail, and provides comments on why the initial application and revised plans, in their current forms, are not supportable.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends that Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to attend the OLT hearing to oppose the initial and revised proposals in their current forms and to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve outstanding issues.

The Zoning By-law amendment also proposes to remove the 'rental' tenure term and provides more details with regards to the unit mix of the 15 rental replacement units from Schedule A of By-law 320-2022, which was part of the approval of the Rental Housing application (20 205924 NNY 06 RH). The existing Holding provision will be retained. The resulting overall gross floor area is 20,268 square metres including 328 residential units and 445 square metres of non-residential space.
\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
The zoning by-law amendment conforms with the Sheppard West / Dublin Secondary Plan to encourage a diversity of office, commercial, institutional and residential uses along Sheppard Avenue West while protecting the adjacent lower-density residential area. 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). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan and the Site and Area Specific Policy 22. It is also generally consistent with the original approved Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment approved by Council in 2022 maintaining a 12-storey building that provides vehicle access off of Sheppard Avenue West. The original Section 37 contribution remains the same.

","agendaItemSummary":"On June 9, 2020, an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law (20 153975 NNY 08 OZ) was submitted to permit 14 and 10-storey mixed use buildings (46.4 metres and 34.8 metres respectively, excluding mechanical penthouse) with 455 residential dwelling units, including 15 rental replacement units, and 4,680.0 square metres of retail uses at grade. A 902.8 square metre park was also proposed. The applications were deemed complete on July 16, 2020. A second submission received on September 1, 2022 expanded the site to include 272 Lawrence Avenue West and proposed a public street extending north from Lawrence Avenue West to provide vehicle access to the site.
\r\n\r\n
On December 18, 2023, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal due to Council not making a decision within the 120-day time frame specified in the Planning Act (the “Appeals”). A Case Management Conference was held on March 27, 2024. The Ontario Land Tribunal has directed the parties to finalize a Procedural Order with Issues List before the second Case Management Conference scheduled for June 4, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
The current submission was received on December 19, 2023. The applicant currently proposes 14 and 12-storey mixed use buildings (47.2 metres and 40.4 metres respectively, excluding mechanical penthouse) and 665 residential dwelling units, 4,438 square metres of retail uses at grade, and a 1,088 square metre park. The subject lands were expanded again to include 1549 Avenue Road. With the addition of this property, the new public street is now proposed to extend to Douglas Avenue.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends that City Council instruct the City Solicitor with the appropriate City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing in opposition to the proposal in its current form, but to continue discussions with the applicant to try to resolve the issues in advance of the hearing, and to request that the Ontario Land Tribunal withhold its final Order approving the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment until the outstanding issues have been resolved, and certain other pre-approval conditions have been met.

","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 a portion of the lands known municipally as 1891 Eglinton Avenue as a Class 4 Noise Area under the NPC-300 noise guidelines administered by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP).
\r\n\r\n
City Council accepted a settlement offer for a portion of the subject site which will result in lands at 1891 Eglinton Avenue East being redeveloped with a mixed use proposal consisting of a total of four buildings: three towers, with heights of 48 storeys (Building A), 44 storeys (Building B), 44 storeys (Building C), and one mid-rise building with a height of 12 storeys (Building D). The buildings would comprise a total gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 106,831 square metres of which102,190 square metres is residential gross floor area and 4,641 square metres is non-residential gross floor area. A total of approximately 1,700 residential units are proposed.
\r\n\r\n
A Detailed Noise and Vibration Impact Study was prepared by RWDI to support to the proposed development at 1891 Eglinton Avenue East which concludes that the proposed development site is suitable for a Class 4 designation as defined in the NPC-300 Environmental Noise Guideline. The study was peer-reviewed for the City by RJ Burnside and Associates Limited and they concluded that the Class 4 area designation for the proposed development site is supportable.
\r\n\r\n
Under NPC-300, 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. Any impact of the permitted higher levels would be mitigated by noise control measures that are part of the development of sensitive uses. Similarly, the slight increase in permitted noise levels provide for the continued operation of surrounding employment uses without impact caused by the introduction of residential uses on the subject lands. The Class 4 designation would apply to the identified portion of 1891 Eglinton Avenue East shown in Attachment 3 to this report and any future development of the site would be subject to further peer-review and potentially further reporting to City Council.

The application also seeks to remove the Holding \"H\" symbol in the existing zoning to facilitate the development of the proposed plan of subdivision for an area of 15.625 hectares
\r\n\r\n
The subdivision proposed a number of new public streets, a new public park and blocks to support the construction of 1,337 dwelling units comprised of 215 back-to back townhouses, 950 stacked back-to-back townhouses and 172 on-street townhouses.
\r\n\r\n
On February 14, 2024, the Applicant appealed the applications to the Ontario Land Tribunal (the \"OLT\") due to City Council failing to make a decision within the prescribed time frames in the Planning Act.

","agendaItemSummary":"In response to a series of development applications and interest for sites near the Eglinton GO station, City Council directed City Planning staff to initiate a Planning Study for the segment of Eglinton Avenue East generally between McCowan Road and Mason Road. The subsequent Council adoption of Official Plan Amendment 570 identified lands around Eglinton GO Station as a Protected Major Transit Station Area and included Site and Area Specific Policy 625 that provides for minimum densities for sites within the PMTSAs. With the planning framework anticipating intensification and limited guidance for the lands from a policy or zoning perspective it was important to examine the area and determine appropriate built form guidance for future development. The Urban Design Guidelines recommended for adoption in this report respond to the original Council direction and reflect a work plan initiated, developed and implemented by City Planning staff and informed by community and landowner consultation.
\r\n\r\n
The Eglinton GO Area Urban Design Guidelines will assist in advancing the vision of a connected and sustainable community along a vibrant commercial main street anchored by the Eglinton GO Station and the Eglinton East Light Rail Transit (EELRT) line. The Guidelines seek a diversity of building types that will frame and support an attractive, green, and memorable public realm supporting non-residential uses at grade.

This report recommends that City Council adopt the Eglinton GO Area Urban Design Guidelines. This report also recommends that City Council direct the Interim Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to use the Eglinton GO Area Urban Design Guidelines in the evaluation of all current and new development applications within the Study area.

This report recommends City Council approval of financial incentives under the Open Door Affordable Housing Program of approximately $17,514,673 (before property tax exemption) for the proposed 408 affordable rental dwelling units to be created at 191-199 College Street. The anticipated affordability period is 40 years.
\r\n\r\n
The total value of City incentives recommended in this report is $27,679,950 reflecting an average City contribution of $67,843 per affordable rental home. These incentives are not a direct payment from the City but rather foregone revenues in the form of waivers or exemptions to planning fees, building permit fees, development charge, parkland dedication and property tax.
\r\n\r\n
The estimated value of incentives is based on current rates. The value of City incentives provided may fluctuate depending on the timing of development applications, and may vary if some projects are otherwise determined to be eligible for parkland dedication and development charge exemptions for non-profit housing developments under the recent changes to the Development Charges Act, 1997 and the Planning Act through Bill 23, which will be assessed during the development review process.
\r\n\r\n
Details of incentive values per project are provided in Table 1 below.

","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 reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 76-storey mixed-use building (280 metres including mechanical penthouse) containing residential and commercial uses at 639-653 Yonge Street. The proposal includes 789 dwelling units and 1,442 square metres of non-residential space including 790 square metres of retail space at grade. A publicly-accessible retail gallery is proposed as part of the base building. The Official Plan Amendment to Site and Area Specific Policy 382 is required to permit the proposed building on site, varying performance standards relating to height, massing, and tower setbacks.
\r\n\r\n
The proposal includes provision of 69.1 square metres of parkland with approximately three metres of frontage on Isabella Street to be located on the southeast portion the property at 14 Isabella Street. The parkland dedication allows for the expansion of the Isabella Street frontage of George Hislop Park, located to the east of the site.
\r\n\r\n
The site contains properties designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act located at 639, 641, 645, 649, and 651 Yonge Street. The development proposal involves the in-situ retention of the facades of all of the significant heritage buildings fronting onto Yonge Street and Isabella Street.
\r\n\r\n
The site contains four rental dwelling units which are proposed to be demolished. As the number of units to be demolished is fewer than six, a Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion Application is not required. A Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan is required to be provided for the eligible tenants of the existing 4 rental dwelling units.

\r\n\r\n
i. replacement of the existing 12 rental housing units, including the same number of units, bedroom type and size and with similar rents; and
\r\n\r\n

","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. If City Council does not make a decision on this Report, there may be financial implications to the City to the current budget year and in future years.
\r\n\r\n
Section 34(11.0.0.0.1) of the Planning Act stipulates that City Council must make a decision on a combined Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment Application within 120 days of the day the application was deemed complete (the applications that are the subject of this report were deemed complete on February 14, 2024). If City Council does not make a decision within the legislated timeline, the City may be subject to a request to refund all or part of the application fees. Due to the financial impact of the recommendations of this Report, this matter is urgent and must be considered at the May 22-24, 2024 meeting of City Council and should not be deferred.
","agendaItemSummary":"This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 21 storey mixed use building containing 263 dwelling units and 213 square metres of ground floor retail at 1304-1418 King Street West and 143-145 Cowan Avenue. A related Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion application proposing to replace the existing eight rental dwelling units is currently under review.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and does not conform with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposed development also does not conform to the City's Official Plan.
\r\n\r\n
This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law as the request has not demonstrated that a tall building can be accommodated on the site in a manner that is appropriate within the existing and planned context, nor has it demonstrated that certain provisions of the Toronto Green Standards could be achieved.

The 61 demolished rental units would be replaced within the new proposal.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends refusal of the application to amend the Zoning By-law because the outstanding issues could not be resolved within the legislated 90-day timeframe for a decision. Furthermore, if City Council does not make a decision within the legislated timeframe, the City may be subject to a request to refund all or part of the application fees.

","financialImpactWep":"City Planning confirms there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.
\r\n\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 that City Council include two properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for their cultural heritage value and interest.
\r\n\r\n
The two properties being recommended for inclusion on the Register are as follows:
\r\n\r\n
- 2991 Dundas Street West (including entrance address 2991 A Dundas Street West), Parkdale- High Park - Ward 4
\r\n- 2993 Dundas Street West, Parkdale- High Park - Ward 4
\r\n\r\n
The subject properties are two-storey, Main Street Commercial Row type buildings on Dundas Street West near Pacific Avenue within the Junction Phase I Heritage Conservation District Study Area. See attachment 1 for a location map.
\r\n\r\n
The two properties recommended for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register 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 (the Act) through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Act, as amended, a municipal heritage register may include properties 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. The Act now also limits listing to a period of two years.
\r\n\r\n
As of January 1, 2023, 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
The listing of non-designated properties on the municipal heritage register under the Act also extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Act should a development or demolition application be submitted.
\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.
\r\n\r\n

\r\n\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 that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the heritage properties at 191-199 College Street and 74-76 Henry Street which are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
\r\n\r\n
The subject properties are located on the southwest corner of College and Henry streets and comprise part of a collection of surviving representative examples of late 19th-century semi-detached house form buildings with detailing from the Victorian period. They support and maintain the historical character of College Street and the residential neighbourhood that developed on the south side of the street across from the University of Toronto campus, as well as the transition that occurred as College Street evolved into the present-day commercial thoroughfare.
\r\n\r\n
In May and August 2022, the City received Official Plan Amendment, Site Plan Control and Zoning By-law Amendment applications related to the proposed redevelopment of the subject properties to permit a 31-storey mixed-use building atop a seven-storey podium, containing 492 new rental dwelling units (including 408 new affordable units) and 1,356 square metres of non-residential gross floor area. The proposal includes partial retention and restoration of the subject properties in-situ.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development is consistent with the existing policy framework and proposes an overall conservation strategy that conserves the heritage resources at the subject development site.
\r\n\r\n
The owner has submitted an application to alter the designated heritage properties under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act and this report recommends the application be approved subject to refinements to the alterations of the lower floors.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"I am writing to you today to request your support in expanding the permit parking area 13K.
\r\n\r\n
At the June 27th, 2022, meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council, TE34.195 directed city staff to install traffic control signals at the Intersection of Heath Street West and Tweedsmuir Avenue/Lower Village Gate. The installation of this traffic control signal was a necessary intervention at a misaligned intersection where right-of-way and safe crossing for pedestrians was a consistent issue.
\r\n\r\n
Whereas the previous stop sign intervention at this intersection only required a 15-metre no-parking prohibition, the traffic control signal that was installed in December 2023 now requires a 30-metre no-parking prohibition. The installation of this traffic control signal has taken out approximately 61-metres of curb spaces that was previously licensed for on-street permit parking per 950-400 E (3) of the Toronto Municipal Code. The result has had a significant negative impact on residents who use Permit Parking Area 13K, an area that already has a constrained permit parking capacity.
\r\n\r\n
While the process to expand a permit parking area usually requires a petition, I firmly believe that this is not a feasible solution for the residents as there are several high-density residential buildings in the area.
\r\n\r\n
In order to ensure that the traffic safety intervention at Heath St W and Tweedsmuir Ave/Lower Village Gate can continue to serve the area while also addressing the capacity issue, I am asking for your support to waive the polling requirements.
\r\n\r\n
Staff can swiftly initiate the process to amend the boundary of Permit Area 13K and increase the number of permitted spaces by licensing limited sections of Lonsmount Drive and Tweedsmuir Avenue without the need for a petition and poll process.

I am writing today regarding four unique cases of patios in Ward 14 which are being directly impacted by the Ontario Line construction, and which warrant special consideration.
\r\n\r\n
On Danforth Avenue, Transportation Services has worked extensively to find a road configuration that would maintain the cycle lanes and still provide space for cafés. I visited the site with the business owners and Transportation Services earlier this year to initiate this. However due to this configuration only being confirmed recently, these businesses need to move quickly to install sidewalk or curbside cafes instead of the CaféTO installations they had in 2023. I am asking for your support to expedite these approvals and waive some restrictions, as a temporary measure during this construction. Supporting our small businesses through the Metrolinx construction is a logical step to take to keep our main streets vibrant during construction.
\r\n\r\n
On Queen, Bonjour Brioche is immediately next to ongoing bridge, track and station construction. With that impacting CafeTO plans, they have also been caught up in trying to get a permit for their existing flankage patio, which lapsed during an ownership transfer.
\r\n\r\n
For this business, hanging on during significant construction, this patio is vital. Providing temporary relief to allow them to operate at least for this summer will help us support this East End institution through such a big challenge. As small businesses only start to recover from the pandemic impacts, providing flexibility and support to those now impacted by Metrolinx is a key way that the City can maintain our vibrancy.

The proposed building included retail space on the ground floor and 274 residential dwelling units. The total gross floor area of the proposed development was 18,965 square metres, comprising 18,759 square metres of residential gross floor area and 206 square metres of ground-floor commercial gross floor area, resulting in a floor space index of 6.9 times the area of the lot.
\r\n\r\n
The applicant appealed City Council's neglect or failure to make a decision on its application for the Zoning By-law Amendment, to the Ontario Land Tribunal on May 1, 2023. The Ontario Land Tribunal held the first Case Management Conference on October 27, 2023. At the Case Management Conference, three entities with interests in the vicinity of the proposal, Choice Properties Limited Partnership (the owner of 683-685 Warden Avenue to the north of the Site), and Rataj Holdings Inc., and Tradition Fine Foods Ltd.(the owner and operator, respectively, of a food manufacturing facility at 663 Warden Avenue), were granted Party Status. A nine-day hearing is scheduled to commence August 26, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
On May 2, 2024, the City received a with prejudice, not confidential, settlement offer from the applicant's lawyers, Overland LLP, which is attached as Public Attachment 1. The Settlement Offer contains revised plans. The Settlement Offer is open until the end of the City Council meeting commencing on May 22, 2024. The applicant has also filed the Revised Plans with the Ontario Land Tribunal, and will be seeking approval of the Ontario Land Tribunal in respect of the Revised Plans.

1. City Council refuse the demolition of the designated heritage property at 1420 Yonge Street under Section 34(1)2 of the Ontario Heritage Act as outlined in the Addendum to the Heritage Impact Assessment for 1404-1420 Yonge Street, prepared by Goldsmith Borgal and Company Ltd. Architects, dated December 19, 2023 and filed with the Acting Senior Manager, Heritage Planning.
\r\n\r\n
2.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"This report recommends that City Council refuse the application under S.34(1)2 of the Ontario Heritage Act to demolish the designated heritage building at 1420 Yonge Street.
\r\n\r\n
The application is in conjunction with Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendment applications that were approved by Council in 2022 for a 50-storey building at 1404-1420 Yonge Street. The subject property includes three designated buildings. Council granted approval in 2022 and 2023 to demolish two of the designated buildings (1404 and 1406 Yonge Street) to facilitate this development. The demolition of these buildings was considered acceptable from a heritage perspective within a framework that considered several city and area priorities for this site, including the conservation and restoration of the front of the heritage building at 1420 Yonge Street.
\r\n\r\n
The owner is now seeking approval to demolish the remaining designated building at 1420 Yonge Street. Demolition is being sought because having a façade retention frame that is needed to conserve the heritage building would mean the cycle tracks would be downgraded to a bike lane outside the subject property for a temporary period of three years. The bike lane would also need to be 1.2m wide. A bike lane width of 1.2m, although narrower than Ontario Traffic Manual Book 18 suggested minimum, is still allowable over very short distances in constrained areas or in complex circumstances.
\r\n\r\n
The Provincial Policy Statement, the Official Plan, and the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada state that heritage resources are to be conserved and any new construction is to be designed to conserve the cultural heritage values, attributes, and character of that property, and to mitigate visual and physical impact on it. The proposals seek approval to demolish a designated heritage building. This does not comply with these policies and as such staff are recommending that this application be refused.

The heritage permit applications reflect the proposal in the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications (23 210259 STE 09 OZ), which were refused by City Council on February 6, 2024, and for which an appeal has been filed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. The project would redevelop the subject property for the construction of a 29-storey mixed use building containing 272 condominium units and 919 square metres of community space, partially retaining the designated heritage property known as Postal Station C at the base.
\r\n\r\n
The property at 1117 Queen Street West is located on the south side of Queen Street West and is uniquely surrounded on all four sides by the public realm. The property contains Postal Station C, a two-storey building completed in 1903. The Beaux-Arts building was designed by the architecture branch of the federal Department of Public Works and is considered a landmark civic building within the West Queen West neighbourhood. The property is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, through designation by-law 961-2023.
\r\n\r\n
Staff is recommending refusal of the applications as the applications have not demonstrated that the heritage impacts of the proposal are consistent with the heritage planning policy framework in conserving the heritage value of this property or that such impacts would be satisfactorily mitigated.

\r\n\r\n
The subject significant property, originally known as the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre, contains a two-storey institutional building and designed landscape garden by Order of Canada Companion and internationally renowned architect, Raymond Moriyama. Completed in 1963, the property served as the city's community hub for the re-establishment, promotion and sharing of Japanese culture in the post-war period. Situated on a wooded ravine lot, the building responds directly to the natural and topographical features of the site.
\r\n\r\n
On July 29, 2022, applications for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control were submitted to construct two residential towers of 52 and 48 storeys on the property which was listed on the City's Heritage Register at the time.
\r\n\r\n
On July 25, 2023, City Council stated its intention to designate the property at 123 Wynford Drive under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and on September 6, 2023 passed By-law No. 810-2023. While the property owner initially challenged this By-Law by filing an appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal, the appeal was withdrawn in February 2024. As such, Council's by-law to designate this heritage property is in full force and effect.
\r\n\r\n
On February 16, 2024 the owner submitted an application to alter attributes and demolish the building and heritage attributes on the protected heritage property under Sections 33 and 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
\r\n\r\n
The proposal to demolish the building and alter the property would result in the irrevocable loss of the significant cultural heritage values and attributes of this landmark property in Toronto including the building and its relationship with the landscape and natural ravine, it's value as a living memorial to the resilience of the Japanese Canadian immigrants to Canada and its associative value as having been designed by the late celebrated architect, Raymond Moriyama. This report recommends the application be refused.
\r\n\r\n
Staff support the sensitive redevelopment of this property that would allow for growth but would conserve the heritage values and attributes of this significant heritage resource in line with both the City’s and the Provincial planning policies.

The City has received an objection on behalf of the property owner to the Notice of Intention to Designate within the statutory timeline.
\r\n\r\n
Located on the northeast corner of University Avenue and Edward Street, the property at 505 University Avenue contains the Shell Oil Building designed by the prominent architectural firm of Marani & Morris. Originally intended to be constructed to a height of 20-storeys, the building was erected in two phases, with the first 13 storeys completed in 1958 and the uppermost 7 storeys added in 1966. Commissioned by Shell Oil, the building served as the global firm's Canadian headquarters from 1958 to 1983.
\r\n\r\n
City Council has until June 9, 2024, 90 days from the date of the end of the objection period, or 120 days from the issuance of the Notice of Intention to Designate, to make a decision on this objection as per the timeline under the Ontario Heritage Act.
\r\n\r\n
Staff have reviewed the objections raised by the owner and are of the opinion that despite these objections, the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, under 6 of 9 possible criteria for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values.
\r\n\r\n

\r\n\r\n
Since 1995, A Different Booklist has operated a successful bookstore and cultural space in Mirvish Village. As part of the redevelopment of Honest Ed’s and Mirvish Village, A Different Booklist, working closely with the City, proposes to create a new community cultural centre on site – to be known as Blackhurst Cultural Centre.
\r\n\r\n
The new Blackhurst Cultural Centre will be a non-profit hub and destination that provides opportunities to experience the rich culture and history of Canadians of African and Caribbean ancestry. Blackhurst Cultural Centre will be a purpose-built cultural centre that engages the public to learn about these proud stories using literature, music, drama, dance, and visual arts. Blackhurst Cultural Centre will also provide much-needed space for Toronto arts and cultural organizations, as well as office space, event space, and community space. Blackhurst Cultural Centre has also developed an innovative net-zero design for the building, and plans to restore the heritage frontage. In April 2024, the City and Blackhurst Cultural Centre executed a 49-year ground lease agreement for the new cultural centre, based on terms previously approved by City Council.
\r\n\r\n
This Section 37 funding was secured in 2017 in order to support a non-profit community or cultural centre in Mirvish Village. It will enable Blackhurst Cultural Centre to begin construction in summer 2024. This funding will be complemented by a major investment from the Government of Canada through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings Fund (administered by Infrastructure Canada), as well as multiple City commitments including tax breaks and proceeds from the sale of the adjacent laneway, plus additional donations raised by Blackhurst Cultural Centre.

a. an evaluation of the feasibility of undertaking 24/7 construction, including construction on Sundays when there is less impact to commuters;
b. an evaluation of the feasibility of increasing the utilization of pre-fabrication technologies and/or building and assembling components off-site; and
c. an evaluation of all upcoming road work and other state of good repair projects along traffic corridors adjacent to the Gardiner Expressway, in an effort to minimize congestion on parallel routes.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Toronto recently earned the title of most congested city in North America, outranking perennial contenders like New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City. Travel times on the Gardiner Expressway have doubled in recent weeks and it’s killing our local businesses, choking our economy, and compromising quality of life for millions of Torontonians.
\r\n\r\n
We are quickly becoming a city where people do not want to live or work.
\r\n\r\n
People are looking for relief and results. It’s time City Hall took the impacts of traffic congestion more seriously.
\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this motion is to request that Transportation Services bring forward a comprehensive action plan to accelerate construction of the Gardiner Expressway and alleviate the traffic impacts that have brought our city to a grinding halt and hurt our economy. This includes an evaluation of the feasibility of undertaking 24/7 construction with the primary focus of completing the rehabilitation project sooner and ensuring there is no idling on this critical infrastructure project. It also means looking at whether additional phases of work can utilize pre-fabrication approaches to build and assemble components off-site to save time.
\r\n\r\n
This motion also asks that City staff undertake an evaluation of all upcoming road work and other state of good repair projects along traffic corridors adjacent to the Gardiner Expressway, in an effort to minimize congestion on parallel routes. That includes streets such as Lakeshore Boulevard, King Street, Adelaide Street and Queen Street, which are all currently subject to at least one other major City-led construction project. All these projects should be revisited through the lens of congestion management.

3. City Council direct that the use of Section 37 community benefits be prominently recognized in documents and promotional materials, including on any construction hoarding, in consultation with the Ward Councillor as a requirement within the Undertaking between the City and Dixon Hall.
This motion requests authority from City Council to provide Dixon Hall in the amount of $375,000 in order to support their community hub at 58 Sumach Street.
\r\n\r\n
Following a previous Section 37 funding request, Dixon Hall has experienced construction delays and inflationary pressures that have significantly increased projected costs for their community hub project at 58 Sumach Street. They have reached out to our office requesting additional financial support.
\r\n
For almost a century, Dixon Hall has supported those in need in the Downtown East from an unassuming single-storey building at 58 Sumach Street. Now, through a mix of public and private investments, the space will be revitalized to enable the reimagining of Dixon Hall’s services through education, opportunity, and a renewed commitment to housing stabilization and supports, all reflected through enhancements to the built form.
The revitalized building will be an open and inclusive community hub welcoming people in need of support for housing, food security, settlement services, and employment assistance. It will be a place where people come first, and dialogue can lead the way to new perspectives and opportunities to thrive.
Renovations will include the creation of an expanded community kitchen, a meeting space for supportive services, including housing and employment, a computer and media lab, general programming space, and much more. Revitalization will enable enhanced community programming for almost 3000 individuals per year, focused on advancing social determinants of health.

Ice skating is an expensive sport that requires equipment, facilities, classes and constant equipment maintenance. This investment into the Regent Park Athletics Grounds will give Regent Park children and youth more opportunities to participate in sports and provide additional access to outdoor leisure activities for the community.
\r\n\r\n
Installing the shed will allow a zamboni to be stored on-site during the winter to allow for more frequent ice maintenance. As the existing electrical service located in the rink building cannot support the increased requirement to use an electric zamboni, a power transformer is required by Toronto Hydro, which these funds would pay for. In addition, a storage unit will provide additional storage for winter equipment and the potential creation of a skate-lending program to help youth within Regent Park access the rink. During the summer, maintenance equipment would be stored on-site.

\r\n","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"
Since October 2023, there has been an increase in protests and demonstrations across the world, and Toronto has been no exception. In March 2024, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw reported that Toronto has seen a 93 percent increase in hate crimes since October 7, 2023. A shocking 56 percent of incidents have been antisemitic and target Toronto’s Jewish minority – but there have also been increases in anti-LGBTQ hate, anti-Black hate, and anti-Arab, Muslim and Palestinian hate.
\r\n\r\n
At the October 2023 Council meeting, Council unanimously passed Mayor Chow’s motion 2023.MM11.37, “Keeping Toronto Safe from Hate.” This motion supported the creation of “community safety zones… inclusive of areas surrounding places of worship and cultural and religious daycares and schools recognized as a potential target for hate.”
\r\n\r\n
To date, no such zones have been created. Instead, demonstrations continue to occur close to and target such facilities, creating fear and distress for many Torontonians. This is why we ask the Province to urgently develop policy and legislation to create safety zones with a radius of 50 to 150 metres, modelled on the “bubble zone” laws that protect women’s access to reproductive health, such as Ontario’s Safe Access to Abortion Services Act, 2017.
\r\n\r\n
All people of Toronto have the right to safely gather and peacefully co-exist. While we must protect the right to peaceful protest and ensure all Torontonians have an opportunity to voice their opinion, this must not extend to disturbing protests that target vulnerable locations such as places of worship, faith-based schools, daycares, or cultural community centres.

1. City Council request the Interim Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning in consultation with the President, Toronto Parking Authority, to consider the greater need for visitor parking in suburban contexts compared to downtown as part of the ongoing review of the parking requirements in the Zoning By-law and consider the potential impact of Bill 185 in their analysis, and report back no later than the fourth quarter of 2024.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Increasingly new developments are being approved with minimal visitor parking. This will present some foreseeable challenges, especially in the suburbs where there is neither permitted street parking, nor sufficient public parking lots available. While owners choose to purchase a unit with or without a parking spot, they cannot choose whether friends and family live near enough to transit to visit without the use of a car. Having sufficient visitor parking is very important to ensure that people with visitors have somewhere for their visitors to park. Further, we want to ensure there is sufficient visitor parking to encourage social interactions rather than presenting visitor parking challenges that could exacerbate the already serious social isolation that is happening in our city.
For example, recently a developer in Willowdale proposed a 44-storey tower with 513 units with only 7 visitor parking spots, which we negotiated up to 14 spots. I believe this will still be too low to meet the demand of the residents of the building in an inner-suburb context. The impact of limited visitor parking will spill over to the surrounding areas resulting in illegal parking or having no parking left for visitors of those who live in longstanding surrounding communities. Taxpayers will have to absorb the costs of dealing with these challenges created by the cost savings enjoyed by developers in offering limited visitor parking in new high-density developments.
\r\n
This motion requests staff to look into the greater need for visitor parking in suburban wards as part of their ongoing review of the parking requirements in the Zoning By-law.
Councillor Lily Cheng, seconded by Councillor Jennifer McKelvie, recommends that:

1. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, to report back no later than the fourth quarter of 2024 with recommendations for equitable funding and distribution of Canada Day events across all boroughs within the four Community Council areas.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"For over 20 years, Economic Development and Culture produced a Canada Day event annually in Mel Lastman Square (North York) until funding was eliminated from Economic Development and Culture’s operating budget in 2018. Since 2018, despite budgetary constraints, Economic Development and Culture leveraged different funding sources to deliver Canada Day activities at Mel Lastman Square in 2019, 2022 and 2023.
\r\n\r\n
As referenced in 2024.EC12.6 - Review of City of Toronto’s Canada Day Events, the 15 City-run July 1 events in 2024 will fall within 12 of the City’s 25 wards. Although these events are planned for all four Community Council catchment areas, neither the number of events nor the funding is equitably distributed across all Community Council areas.
\r\n\r\n
For 2024, 90 percent of City funds directed to Canada Day celebrations will animate July 1 in only two Community Council areas - Toronto and East York and Scarborough. City-funded fireworks will be enjoyed in all three Community Council areas except North York. Of the approximately $317,000 of planned City funds (including funds received through sponsorships) to be spent on 2024 Canada Day events, none is allocated to events in North York.
\r\n\r\n
This member motion requests a report back on how to equitably fund and distribute Canada Day events across all four Community Council areas for July 1, 2025 celebrations. In addition, funding allocation should acknowledge Urban Growth Centres outside the downtown core, as outlined in the Official Plan. As we build density across our City, we need to support these growing communities in bringing vibrancy and invest in opportunities to bring the community together.
\r\n\r\n
In a multicultural city such as Toronto, there are very few banners under which we can all stand. As a child in an immigrant family, I recall my first feelings of pride in being Canadian experienced at Canada Day celebrations. Allowing more people to experience Canada Day across our city will help strengthen our shared identity and build a stronger sense of belonging.

City Council direct the City Manager, in consultation with the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to assess the impacts of transitioning the governance and operations of Moss Park Arena from a Board of Management to a City-operated arena; such assessment to include financial impacts, program and operational considerations, and staff planning as appropriate, and report back on this assessment and implementation to the June 18, 2024 meeting of the Executive Committee.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Moss Park Arena was established in 1974 and is located at 140 Sherbourne St. in Ward 13, Toronto Centre. Moss Park Arena is an important part of the community’s infrastructure, and it is critical that the programming and operations of the Arena are aligned with and collaborate with the City to meet City priorities and the needs of the community it serves. It is also important that the Arena has the capacity and appropriate governance structure to deliver effectively on its mandate set out by City Council to operate the arena in a manner that meets local community needs for indoor ice recreational activities, while having regard to the objective of being cost effective in its operations.
\r\n\r\n
Prior to and since amalgamation, there have been eight indoor ice arenas in the City of Toronto operated by Boards of Management, including Moss Park Arena. These Boards of Management were established by the former City of Toronto and the former Borough of East York under the authority of the former Municipal Act, the Community Recreation Centres Act, and their predecessors. In 2017, Toronto City Council adopted the City of Toronto Relationship Framework with Arenas Boards setting out the governance structure, mandate, operating principles, policies and reporting requirements, and operating guidelines for the Arenas.
\r\n\r\n
I strongly believe that local access to recreation should be equitable, providing safe and high-quality indoor ice sports recreational facilities to all local neighbourhood residents, organizations, and user groups. All community members, regardless of socioeconomic status, should have access to free programming and drop-in opportunities at Moss Park Arena and, unfortunately, that has not been happening for a very long time.
\r\n\r\n

Demand for tennis has been high in recent years. The Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan identifies the need for up to 20 new courts over the next 20 years. There are over 600 outdoor tennis courts within 185 Toronto parks. The City operates 339 public courts that are free and available on a first come, first served basis. In addition, the City has 263 club courts that are currently permitted by 61 not-for-profit community tennis clubs, which offer a range of affordable opportunities for members.
\r\n\r\n
The management of club courts is guided by the City’s Policy for Outdoor Community Tennis Club Operations. There are also dozens of private tennis clubs within Toronto.
\r\nMany of the City’s Community Tennis Clubs are currently managing large waitlists and multiple third-party operators have identified the need for year-round facilities. Community Tennis Clubs are the primary delivery mechanism for organized tennis on City courts. They do not operate in the winter and do not have bubbles.
\r\n\r\n
Sports bubbles are becoming more common in Toronto as demand rises for year-round tennis facilities; currently, the City has agreements with operators of six tennis bubbles.
\r\nInstallation of bubbles allows the City’s assets to be maximized, increasing access to residents. Existing tennis and sports field bubbles are well used, and considerable interest has been expressed for additional year-round sport opportunities.

The opportunity to work directly with Tennis Canada presents a chance to consider expanding the number of sport bubbles available to residents and user groups by maximizing City resources and accommodating additional year-round tennis facilities.
\r\nAny partnerships considered for the operation of new year-round tennis bubbles would emphasize affordable community access.

City Council further directed staff in Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and the FIFA World Cup 2026 Toronto Secretariat, to explore opportunities to support the establishment of a professional women’s soccer team in Toronto, including helping identify potential sites, and to advance growing the participation of women in sport as a key legacy opportunity of hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2026 in Toronto.
\r\n\r\n
Two sites are most suitable based on preliminary staff review – the future artificial turf field and clubhouse at Centennial Park, and Lamport Stadium. The City should advance work on both these sites to ensure the City is maximizing the potential of our facilities and supporting opportunities for women in sport.
\r\n\r\n
Centennial Park provides an excellent opportunity for a legacy partnership and could serve as a practice centre for Association Football Club Toronto. Direct exploration and negotiations with the group should be undertaken to determine the feasibility of a partnership, reporting back to City Council on the terms of any potential agreement for the long-term programming of the space. Continued community use of the facilities must be embedded as a requirement, along with appropriate cost sharing.
\r\n\r\n
An important recreational amenity in Liberty Village, Lamport Stadium serves a high-growth urban neighbourhood. As one of few premier class, all-season multipurpose fields in the Downtown that is accessible by transit, the stadium and surrounding greenspace currently serve community users and a variety of sports teams. A seasonal winter bubble is also operated under third party agreement, providing additional community recreation in the winter months. The site provides important community access to recreation opportunities and must continue to do so in the future. Unfortunately, these recreational opportunities are at risk, as the building continues to age and fall into disrepair.
\r\n\r\n
Lamport Stadium would provide an excellent and exciting venue for Toronto Association Football Club, while delivering opportunities for animation and continued community use, but requires significant capital investment and is not fully usable in its current state. The City should seek proposals for an anchor tenant for Lamport Stadium, requiring the third party to bring the stadium to modern standards, protecting community access to recreational opportunities, and dedicating sufficient access to women’s professional sport to use as a game day facility. Any proposal process for Lamport Stadium should embed and reflect the objectives and goals of the Liberty Village Public Realm Study and look to improve both stadium and surrounding parkland areas.

\r\n\r\n
a. implement commercial rent control for small, locally-owned businesses;
\r\n\r\n
b. establish a dispute resolution tribunal for commercial tenants and landlords; and
\r\n\r\n
c. develop and require standardized leases for commercial tenants and landlords.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The vibrancy of Toronto’s main streets are dependent upon successful local businesses. Small restaurant, bookstore, clothing shop, and cafe owners give our neighbourhoods their unique character. Unfortunately, too many local businesses are under threat from unfair commercial rent hikes.
\r\n\r\n
Unlike residential rentals built before 2018, there is no rent control for small business owners. This lack of protection has resulted in neighbourhoods losing far too many of their favourite stores and restaurants in favour of chains that can afford higher rent.
\r\n\r\n
According to data from the Better Way Alliance, an Ontario-based network of employers, in Toronto, commercial retail rent increased by 20 percent between 2021-2023. This places significant pressure on many businesses, forcing many to shut down due to unsustainable increases as high as 20-100 percent. Based on a survey conducted by the Better Way Alliance, over half respondents indicated that rent represented more than 60 percent of their overall expenses.
\r\n\r\n
Beyond inflation commercial rent hikes not only affect current business owners but discourage new entrepreneurs from starting a business in the first place. Bar and restaurant owners, in particular, routinely invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in commercial kitchens, exhausts, fridges, and furnishings before they even open. Upon closure, they are able to recoup only a fraction of that initial cost. The prospect of severe rent hikes after the initial lease term threatens to put a chill on new businesses that contribute to our economy and quality of life.
\r\n\r\n
Out of control rent hikes can also lead to vacant store fronts. These dead spots in our communities are a blight and can drag down entire sections of local mainstreets.
\r\n\r\n
New York State is currently considering comprehensive commercial rent control legislation, and countries such as France operate already provide far greater power and protections to commercial tenants, including rent control tied to the consumer price index.

8. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat to provide a one-time exemption to Kensington Market Community Land Trust from the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition Program requirement to acquire a building containing a minimum of six units.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The City launched the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition program in November 2021 to enable the non-profit community housing sector to acquire and protect at-risk market rental housing. Under Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition, one of the eligibility requirements is that the building to be purchased contain between six to sixty units as privately-owned residential or mixed used properties with a focus on multi-tenant homes or low-rise apartment buildings.
\r\n\r\n
In April 2022, City Council approved funding in the amount of up to $500,000.00 from the Capital Revolving Reserve Fund for Affordable Housing to the Kensington Market Community Land Trust to acquire, renovate and operate for a minimum of 99 years an additional affordable rental housing property in Ward 11, University-Rosedale under the terms of the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition program and subject to a number of conditions.
\r\n\r\n
Kensington Market Community Land Trust approached City staff with a proposal to acquire a smaller property to operate as affordable rental housing and retail with less than the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition program program’s minimum unit requirement (6 units). The funding approved for Kensington Market Community Land Trust to purchase a property with a minimum 6 units requirement only results in approximately $80,000 per unit which is far below the existing Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition program rate of $200,000 per unit.
\r\n\r\n
City staff require City Council to amend 2022 MM45.51 to include approval for a one-time exemption to Kensington Market Community Land Trust from the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition Program’s minimum building unit requirement and to delegate authority to the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat that was not captured in the previous City Council decision, including among other recommendations, to execute on behalf of the City a municipal capital facility agreement for housing purposes (“Contribution Agreement”) with Kensington Market Community Land Trust and any security or financing documents or any other documents required to facilitate the funding process.
\r\n\r\n
This matter is urgent because the current funding approval expires in June 2024.

\r\n\r\n
b. by extending the reporting extension and exemption deadline in 2024 to October 31, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council authorize the introduction of the necessary Bills in Council to give effect to City Council's decision.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"On December 13, 2023, the City of Toronto adopted Municipal Code Chapter 367, Building Emissions Performance (“the By-law”), which requires property owners of buildings in Toronto that are 929 square metres (10,000 square feet) and larger to report their energy and water use, amongst other building information, to the City annually. The By-law’s reporting requirement is being phased in over a number of years, with property owners of buildings 4,645 square meters (50,000 square feet) and larger being required to report their previous year’s report information annually starting in 2024 and property owners of buildings 929 square metres (10,000 square feet) and larger being required to report their previous year’s report information annually starting in 2025.
\r\n\r\n
Under the By-law, the deadline for property owners to submit 2023 report information to the City is July 2, 2024. However, to date, only approximately 1 percent of the properties that are required to report to the City have submitted their report information.
\r\n\r\n
Furthermore, City staff have heard from some property owners that they are experiencing delays in receiving aggregated whole-building consumption data and may not be able to report their energy and water use information by the report deadline or may need a reporting exemption or extension this year from the City. The deadline stated in the By-law for a property owner to apply for an extension or exemption from reporting is 60 calendar days prior to the report deadline and has passed for this calendar year.
\r\n\r\n
Given that 2024 is the first year that property owners are required to report their buildings’ energy and water use to the City of Toronto, and the July 2, 2024 report deadline is fast approaching, City staff would like to extend the 2024 deadline to submit their report information or request a reporting extension or exemption to October 31, 2024 in order to provide property owners with additional time.

\r\n\r\n
Since 2022, Desotos Eatery (1807297 Ontario Inc.) has been actively working with Transportation Services, Municipal Licensing and Standards, Toronto Building, and Toronto Fire Services to ensure that their patio is compliant with all applicable by-laws and regulations. As part of this process, an application for a Sidewalk Café Permit must be submitted.

Given these circumstances, where the patio has been operating for many years already and was previously permitted, it is recommended that the requirement for notice under Chapter 742 of the Toronto Municipal Code is waived. This will allow for Desotos Eatery to begin permitted operations as quickly as possible in anticipation of the busy summer patio season.
\r\n\r\n
It is also recommended that the business be exempted from the requirement for a visual screen as the patio was previously permitted to operate without a visual screen and has been doing so for many years without complaint from the local area.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"This weekend there was armed invasion at 48 Saulter Street and this is evidential of the ongoing issues that have been occurring here.
\r\n\r\n
Many neighbours of 48 Saulter St. have contacted my office regarding the issues with the Short-Term Rental operating at this address including noise, building code violation, and STR bylaw violations over the last two years.
\r\n\r\n
Since 2022, the amplified noise from 48 Saulter has been extremely disruptive.
\r\n\r\n
The resident’s have presented a petition to close the Short-Term Rental given that the operators have not been compliant with the bylaw and have continued to negatively affect the community.
\r\n\r\n
There is also a currently an order issued from Toronto Buildings issued for work being completed without a permit.
\r\n\r\n
Reason for urgency: A recent armed home invasion at 48 Saulter St has led to serious community concern. The issue needs to be addressed quickly before more incidents occur.

1. City Council request the General Manager Transportation Services to report back to the July 10, 2024 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on the appropriate type of pedestrian crossing including a pedestrian signal across Leslie Street at the Leslie Lookout Park.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Leslie Lookout Park is about to be opened to the public and will be a signature part of the revitalized Port Lands.
\r\n\r\n
Ensuring that people can access it safely is a key consideration. With the multi-use trail on the opposite side of the street from the new park, a safe crossing across Leslie will allow for pedestrians and cyclists to safely access the park.
\r\n\r\n
Leslie Street has regular heavy truck traffic due to ongoing construction at the Ashbridges Water Treatment Plant and existing industrial uses in the area. Having a high level of pedestrian protection is important to making this park successful.
\r\n\r\n
Reason for urgency: The park is scheduled to open in early summer 2024 and safe access needs to be completed as quickly as possible.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"On October 11, 2023, Toronto City Council adopted Item 2023.MM11.32, Responding to Toronto Artscape Inc. Receivership Proceedings, which provided information and sought direction regarding a pending receivership proceeding that was anticipated at that time to be commenced against Toronto Artscape Inc.
\r\n\r\n
Throughout the fall, City staff worked with Artscape to develop comprehensive transition plans for Artscape’s 14 properties ahead of the receivership, with the objective of ensuring continuity for Artscape’s 390 residential and commercial tenants. A Receiver was appointed over Artscape’s operations by a decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on January 11, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
Of Artscape’s 390 residential and commercial tenants at its various properties, the vast majority were excluded from the scope of the Receivership. Most below-market commercial tenancies for artists and arts organizations will be managed by ArtHubs Toronto Inc., a newly established non-profit successor organization to Artscape, while the operation of most affordable housing units has been transitioned to Artscape Non-Profit Homes Inc., which has engaged WoodGreen Community Services to provide property management services to tenants. Just 38 tenants, or 9 percent of Artscape’s former tenants, are located at properties subject to the Receivership.
\r\n\r\n
Among other things, Item 2023.MM11.32 directed the City Solicitor to participate in the receivership proceeding against Artscape with a view to protecting City's property and interests in affordable housing, and affordable not for profit community arts and culture space. This motion requests further direction from Council with respect to the receivership proceedings against Artscape.
\r\n\r\n
This motion relates to ongoing litigation for which action is required before the next meeting of City Council. Therefore, this matter is urgent.
\r\n\r\n
This motion also relates to or contains information regarding litigation or potential litigation.
