\r\n\r\n
I am submitting this Administrative Inquiry under Municipal Code S27-7.11 for the July 24, 2024 meeting of City Council.
\r\n
City Council 2023.AU2.7 adopted the Auditor General’s June 21, 2023 report with 19 recommendations to strengthen the planning, oversight, tracking, monitoring, management and reporting of project costs of all Phase One and Phase Two Modular Housing projects. A future work plan would see the AG examine whether supportive housing is effective in meeting the needs of tenants.
39 Dundalk Drive, included in Phase Two of the Modular Housing Initiative, opened 57 units last November. It is operated by Homes First Society, responsible for providing critical supports to the tenants. Over the past several months, there have been incidents at or near the Dundalk homes that have had a significant impact on the surrounding community. These raise concerns about the level of supportive care offered and accepted by the tenants with severe needs.
What made this housing concept attractive is the promise of the integration of shelter and supports for citizens who may not be fully ready for independent living.
I am requesting answers to the following questions:
1. What was the selection process to identify tenants for housing at 39 Dundalk Drive? How many Dundalk tenants were selected from the 22 Metropolitan Road and Delta shelters? How many tenants from 22 Metropolitan Road were formerly sheltered at Strachan House?
2. What selection process is used to identify tenants for housing at other modular housing sites?
3. What selection process will be used to identify future residents for 39 Dundalk Drive?
4. What criteria is used to assess tenants’ housing readiness?
5. What programs are in place to support and/or treat the tenants with severe mental health and drug addiction issues? Is 39 Dundalk providing the appropriate level of care?
6. How are decisions being made in the best interests of tenants who are unable to act on their own behalf, due to impaired competency?
7. What is the relationship between Homes First and the City?
a. What is the contractual responsibility of Homes First to match the level of service and care to the needs of the tenants?
b. What oversight does the City have over service providers and how is it structured?
c. What is the evaluation process and what are the performance standards for service providers?
8. How is the Housing Secretariat evaluating the program management and the effectiveness of supportive housing in meeting the needs of tenants by service providers?
City Council, at its meeting on November 8 and 9, 2023, referred the draft Zoning By-law Amendments in Attachment 1 to the report (September 13, 2023) from Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the Executive Director, Transit Expansion Office, as they relate to the following properties, to the Planning and Housing Committee for further consideration at its meeting of November 30, 2023:

\r\n\r\n
This report seeks endorsement of the plan to reallocate the remaining $1.850 billion in funding from the provincial upload of the Gardiner and DVP as outlined in Table 1 below:

\r\n
The funding reallocation is guided by findings from the 2024 Corporate Asset Management Plan, and also in support of commitments made through the New Deal. Through the upcoming 2025 Budget process, the Executive Director, Financial Planning in consultation with the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer will work with relevant City Divisions and Agencies to leverage the financial benefits of the upload to invest in transit, advance more infrastructure development and maintenance related to affordable housing, build transit-oriented communities, and address deterioration of City assets.
\r\n\r\n
The funding allocation reflects an estimated level of investment and may vary from the final allocation depending on the timing of cash flows and project delivery which is expect to span over the entire 10 year capital planning period form 2025-2034.
","agendaItemSummary":"On December 13, 2023, City Council approved in principle the terms of the Ontario-Toronto New Deal Agreement (the New Deal), which enables significant infrastructure investment in the City. The New Deal committed the City to funding and delivering growth infrastructure to advance transit and housing priorities, and also created the opportunity to invest in aging infrastructure through the upload of the F.G. Gardiner Expressway (Gardiner) and Don Valley Parkway (DVP) to the Province. Subject to a third-party due diligence assessment, the upload of the Gardiner and DVP allows for approximately $1.9 billion to be re-invested in existing and unfunded City infrastructure priorities over the next 10-year planning period.
\r\n\r\n
This report identifies areas in the City that require a significant state of good repair (SOGR) investment, consistent with the funding gaps identified in the City's 2024 Corporate Asset Management Plan (EX14.6), and prior SOGR reporting to Council. The report also highlights funding obligations from the New Deal that require investment, which will be supported from the reallocated expressway funding such as the Broadview Eastern Flood Protection (BEFP) project for advancing Transit-Oriented Communities, and the City's commitment to advancing housing development to support provincial economic development and growth.
\r\n\r\n
The report seeks endorsement of the plan to reallocate funding from the Gardiner and DVP to the following priority areas: Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) base system, Housing SOGR and infrastructure development, Parks, Forestry and Recreation (PFR) SOGR, Transportation Services SOGR, Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) SOGR, and to the Broadview Eastern Flood Protection (BEFP) project. The Executive Director, Financial Planning, and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer will work with relevant City Divisions and Agencies, supported by the Capital Prioritization Framework for capital planning to invest in priority infrastructure renewal projects over the entire 10 year planning period through the 2025 Budget process.

","agendaItemSummary":"The Province of Ontario's Subway Program, being delivered by Metrolinx, is a significant transit expansion project within the City of Toronto. The Subway Program consists of the Ontario Line, Scarborough Subway Extension, Eglinton Crosstown West Extension, and Yonge North Subway Extension projects.
\r\n\r\n
In February 2020, the Province and the City negotiated a Preliminary Agreement (PA) for the Subway Program, amongst other matters. The PA outlined high-level roles and responsibilities of the City and Province in the planning, delivery, and operations of the Subway Program. As the Province continues to advance the Subway Program, through its delivery agent Metrolinx, there is a need to develop and execute a Subway Agreement-in-Principle (AIP) that enhances the principles outlined within the PA to further guide the ongoing design and delivery of the Subway Program.
\r\n\r\n
Negotiations on the Subway Program AIP are ongoing and will conclude imminently. As such, the purpose of this report is to note that City staff will provide a supplementary report with the details on the outcome of negotiations as soon as possible.
\r\n\r\n
The supplementary report to Executive Committee will provide an update on four key items related to the Subway Program, namely:
\r\n\r\n
1. Subway Agreement-in-Principle;
\r\n\r\n
2. Settlement of the transit ledger in accordance with the terms of the Ontario-Toronto New Deal;
\r\n\r\n
3. Scarborough Subway Extension-Eglinton East LRT overbuild protections; and,

","financialImpactWep":"1. Subway Program Agreement-in-Principle
\r\n\r\n
The AIP outlines funding obligations for the delivery of the Subway Program. The Province is responsible for funding 100% of the capital cost of the Subway Program and the City will not be responsible for funding any capital cost of the Subway Program. The Province will also retain all Development Revenue (which includes revenue from Transit Oriented Communities, and property revenue, as defined in Attachment 1). The Province will own all assets in the Projects, except for the SSE and YNSE rolling stock (i.e., trains), or other assets otherwise agreed to by the City and the Province. The Province has agreed to fund the purchase of the SSE and YNSE rolling stock, which will be owned by the TTC.
\r\n\r\n
Through the Ontario-Toronto New Deal, the Province and the City agreed to undertake a longer-term targeted review of the City’s finances, to be completed by 2026. To allow for these discussions to occur, the AIP defers many decisions on roles and responsibilities for operating and maintenance costs until the targeted review is completed, with agreement that the farebox and non-farebox revenue from the Projects (i.e., OL, SSE, YNSE and ECWE) will be used to defray operating cost associated with operations and maintenance. This will ensure that, consistent with our current funding approach for transit, farebox and non-farebox revenue will continue to be used to partially offset the gross costs to operate and maintain the lines. The AIP also confirms that the TTC will set fares for the Subway Program in accordance with TTC fare policy, amongst other operational terms.
\r\n\r\n
Staff will continue discussions with the Province regarding funding responsibilities for transit operations and maintenance as well as the net operating subsidy required and will report back to City Council once the New Deal discussions have been completed.
\r\n\r\n
2. Transit Ledger Clearing
\r\n\r\n
As part of the New Deal terms that the City committed to deliver, the City agreed to settle and clear the ledger on historical transit costs. City staff have negotiated a settlement for costs incurred prior to December 31, 2020, related to the relevant transit lines with the Province of Ontario. This includes costs for planning and design work the City had undertaken prior to the upload of the Provincial Transit Priority Projects. The Province also had sought to recover from the City certain costs related to Metrolinx projects.
\r\n\r\n
Given that the value of the costs that each party sought to recover are of the same order of magnitude, and in support of the renewed partnership to deliver transit, the Province and City have negotiated a letter of agreement to formalize the settlement of claims and clear the ledger on historical transit costs.
\r\n\r\n
The settlement of these claims has no impact on the City’s approved Capital or Operating Budgets and reflects a change in accounting treatment that does not have a material impact to the City’s overall net financial position. A summary of these settled amounts is provided under Confidential Attachment 1.
\r\n\r\n
3. Scarborough Subway Extension – Eglinton East LRT Kennedy Station Interface
\r\n\r\n
Item EX10.17 Advancing Eglinton East Light Rail Transit adopted by City Council at its meeting in December 2023 authorized City staff to execute necessary agreements with Metrolinx to advance design of the SSE tunnel box structure in order to protect for the EELRT Kennedy Station overbuild (Overbuild). Council also approved work to design and to construct a knockout panel at Sheppard-McCowan Station to facilitate the efficient flow of passengers between the EELRT and SSE in the future, and to undertake utility relocations to allow for a future EELRT utility exclusion zone at and in the vicinity of Kennedy Station. Funding to undertake further assessment of the design and to advance preliminary design work only by Metrolinx was also approved through EX10.17 based on Metrolinx estimates at that time.
\r\n\r\n
To include the Overbuild protection within the scope of the SSE contract, MTO has requested formal confirmation from the City that the City would need to fund the costs of both the design and delivery of the Overbuild, as well as the associated delay costs to the SSE, no later than July 31, 2024. The estimated cost of the Overbuild at Kennedy Station has been provided by Metrolinx, and City staff have commenced an in-depth review to better understand and confirm these cost estimates. The total cost comprises of design and delivery costs, as well as schedule delay costs to add the Overbuild scope to the SSE project, and additional risk associated costs (or contingency) given the level of design. These amounts are outlined in Confidential Attachment 2 as the estimates contain commercial and financial information, supplied in confidence to the City of Toronto, which, if disclosed, could reasonably be expected to prejudice significantly the competitive position or interfere significantly with the contractual or other negotiations of a person, group of persons, or organization.
\r\n\r\n
Given the significant costs of delivering the Overbuild (Option 1), along with the fact that the EELRT is at 10% design, and full funding for its construction has not been secured, City staff do not recommend committing to the costs of the Overbuild at this time.
","agendaItemSummary":"The Province of Ontario's Subway Program, being delivered by Metrolinx, is a significant transit expansion project within the City of Toronto. The Subway Program consists of the Ontario Line, Scarborough Subway Extension, Eglinton Crosstown West Extension, and Yonge North Subway Extension projects. This report provides City Council with an update on four key items related to the Subway Program, namely:
\r\n\r\n
1. Subway Agreement-in-Principle;
\r\n2. Settlement of the transit ledger in accordance with the terms of the Ontario-Toronto New Deal;
\r\n3. Scarborough Subway Extension-Eglinton East LRT Kennedy Station interface; and,
\r\n4. Update on the status of the Subway Program projects.
\r\n\r\n
1. Subway Agreement-in-Principle
\r\n\r\n
In February 2020, the Province and the City negotiated a Preliminary Agreement (PA) for the Subway Program, amongst other matters. The PA outlined high-level roles and responsibilities of the City and Province in the planning, delivery, and operations of the Subway Program. As the Province continues to advance the Subway Program, through its delivery agent Metrolinx, there is a need to develop and execute a Subway Agreement in Principle (AIP) that enhances the principles outlined within the PA to further guide the ongoing design and delivery of the Subway Program.
\r\n\r\n
As such, this report is seeking City Council authority to execute a binding Subway AIP with the Province of Ontario, based on the terms outlined in Attachment 1. The AIP is intended to provide a clear understanding and agreement between the City and the Province on respective roles and responsibilities, authorities, funding responsibilities, ownership, and approvals that are crucial to the implementation of the Subway Program. Subject to City Council approval, the AIP will provide a framework for continued engagement between the City and the Province, as well as the TTC and Metrolinx, and will provide the basis from which a detailed Subway Main Agreement and additional ancillary agreements can be negotiated and executed by City staff in consultation with the TTC.
\r\n\r\n
2. Transit Ledger Clearing
\r\n\r\n
This report also seeks authority to negotiate and execute an agreement with the Province of Ontario to settle claims and clear the ledger on historical transit costs. The costs the City has sought to recover from the Province for planning and design work on the extension and development of new subway lines (prior to the upload of the Provincial Transit Priority projects) are of the same order of magnitude as the costs the Province has sought to recover from the City for work related to Metrolinx projects. Therefore, as a term of the New Deal Agreement, both the Province and the City of Toronto have agreed to settle their claims to support the shared commitment to advance the delivery of transit projects in the City. The settlement of these claims, that for both the City and the Province are of the same order of magnitude, reflect a change in accounting treatment and do not have a material impact to the City’s overall net financial position. A summary of these settled amounts is provided under Confidential Attachment 1.
\r\n\r\n
3. Scarborough Subway – Eglinton East LRT Kennedy Station Interface
\r\n\r\n
In December 2023, through EX10.17, City Council authorized City staff to execute the necessary agreements with Metrolinx to advance only the design of the Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE) tunnel box structure in order to protect for the Eglinton East Light Rail Transit (EELRT) Kennedy Station overbuild (Overbuild), at a cost of up to the maximum amount outlined in Confidential Attachment 2 to that report (EX10.17).
\r\n\r\n
On May 31, 2024, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) requested formal written confirmation from the City that the City would fund the costs of both the design and delivery of the Overbuild, as well as the associated delay costs to the SSE, as provided by Metrolinx and outlined in Confidential Attachment 2 to this report, no later than July 31, 2024. City staff subsequently met with Metrolinx to further clarify and confirm how the cost estimate was derived, its breakdown, risk assumptions, and anticipated cash flow according to the stages of the EELRT Overbuild protection delivery process.
\r\n\r\n
In parallel, City staff explored alternative options that removed structural dependency on the SSE tunnel box while achieving the same design and operations requirements as the design with the Overbuild. A potentially viable alternative has emerged (i.e., Option 2 as described in this report and in Confidential Attachment 2). Additional work is required to confirm the feasibility, costs and risks of Option 2. Confidential Attachment 2 also provides the benefits, and risks associated with Option 2.
\r\n\r\n
Given the significant costs of delivering the Overbuild (Option 1), along with the fact that the EELRT is at 10% design, and full funding for its construction has not been secured, City staff do not recommend committing to the costs of the Overbuild at this time. However, to ensure a responsible intergovernmental approach to transit expansion, this report seeks City Council approval for staff to continue discussions with Metrolinx and the Province of Ontario to explore options that provide appropriate transit network integration between the EELRT and the SSE.
\r\n\r\n
4. Subway Program Update
\r\n\r\n
Attachment 3 provides updates on procurement, design, construction, and engagement milestones achieved by Metrolinx since City staff last reported to City Council on the full Subway Program in June 2023 and addresses related City Council directives that request bi-annual reports to Council on the overall Subway Program.

Additional steps to conduct further due diligence of the OSC Site, including contemplation of whether the City could or should assume a direct role in operations, or to review and assess the existing engineers' reports and business case in greater detail, would require additional resources which have not been budgeted for, including procurement of third-party consultants.
\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":"This report provides an update on City staff's preliminary work related to the future of the Ontario Science Centre (OSC) in response to City Council's request at its meeting of June 26, 2024. Further to City Council's direction, the report includes an overview of:
\r\n\r\n
- the provincial requirements in the lease with the City and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to operate the Ontario Science Centre at the Don Mills and Eglinton site;
\r\n\r\n
- the feasibility of the City operating the Science Centre at its current location, including an assessment of potential revenues from event rentals; and
\r\n\r\n
- the November 29, 2023, Provincial business case for the Ontario Science Centre relocation and the December 6, 2023 Office of the Auditor General of Ontario Value-for-Money Audit: Science Centres (2023), which evaluated the November business case.
\r\n\r\n
The City, the TRCA and the Province (through the OSC agency) entered into a 99-year nominal lease commencing July 1, 1965, with the City and TRCA leasing their respective interests in the OSC Site to the Province. Two of the three OSC buildings (Tower and Valley Buildings) reside on TRCA property, while a majority of the third (the Reception Building) and on-site parking facilities are on City-owned lands. The lease restricts the Province’s permitted use of the OSC Site to a science centre but does not obligate the operation of one. Provincial obligations in the event that the Province wishes to terminate the lease early are not specified and would require the City, TRCA and Province to negotiate a termination agreement.
\r\n\r\n
Publicly available information regarding the OSC’s operations and financial performance indicate that even with a substantial annual provincial operating grant, the OSC was operating at a financial loss. The OSC also requires significant capital investment to be returned to a state of good repair that would allow for continued operation of the facility. Based on this information and preliminary analysis by staff, it does not appear the City alone could sustainably fund and maintain the operations of the OSC under the current conditions.
\r\n\r\n
The most recent engineering report commissioned by the Province, the provincial business case for the OSC’s relocation to Ontario Place, and the Auditor General of Ontario’s subsequent Value-for-Money Audit indicate that while the OSC requires significant State of Good Repair (SOGR) work, including some that is critical and urgent, other options beyond the immediate full closure of the OSC were available to the Province. Further, the Auditor General of Ontario noted “that the recent relocation decision was not fully informed and based on preliminary and incomplete costing information”[1]. City staff do not have access to full information on the factors that led to the Province’s decision to relocate the OSC and thus are unable to provide independent analysis on the merits of this decision.
\r\n\r\n
Further discussions with the Province and the TRCA are required to understand the Province’s obligations and intentions with respect to the current Site, and to explore opportunities to maintain science programming in the Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe Park communities.

The development project is an expansion of the current building, which consists of a two-storey addition totalling 1,502.95 square meters of gross floor area (GFA). The complainant, 2613815 Ontario Inc., objects to the amount of development charges calculated. The complainant asserts that development charges in the amount of $400,147.13 should be refunded as all new GFA as contained within the first level of the expansion is for industrial uses.
\r\n\r\n
City staff have reviewed the complaint and are of the opinion that the Development Charges By-law (the \"DC By-law\") was applied properly, and no error was made in the determination of the applicable development charges. Staff have reviewed the building permit application along with the documentation submitted by the complainant, and believe the expansion was correctly categorized as commercial retail use. The development does not meet the definition of industrial uses; therefore, development charges are not exempt.
\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.

The City's actual capital delivery in 2023 has improved from the average expenditure of $3.65 billion from 2019-2022 to $4.22 billion. In 2023, City Programs and Agencies enhanced budget planning and process management, including improving clarity and accountability in project execution and implementation, streamlining business planning processes, and improving decision-making. These actions along with improvements in the supply chain and other market conditions contributed to the on-time delivery or acceleration of capital projects. As a result, the City has achieved a spending rate of 71.4% in 2023, which is greater than the 2019-2022 average of 68%, with an aim for continued improvements in the coming years.

\r\n
The Key Drivers for the year-end variance are split into three main categories: COVID-19, Toronto Shelter and Support Services and remaining City Programs and Agencies.
\r\n\r\n
1. Due to the absence of further intergovernmental COVID-19 funding support, a one-time withdrawal from the City’s COVID-19 Backstop of $739.3 million is required to ensure the City maintains a balanced 2023 Operating Budget while addressing the sustained financial impacts that continued to arise from the pandemic.
\r\n\r\n
2. Toronto Shelter and Support Services has experienced favourable net expenditure variance of $67.5 million or 13.7%. The favourable net variance is primarily driven by:
\r\n\r\n
- Lower than anticipated COVID-19 expenditures as a result of the reduction in physical distancing requirements in the City's shelter system and the closure of five temporary hotel sites by moving clients from the closed sites to base shelters.
\r\n\r\n
- The total cost for Refugees using dedicated shelters as well as hotels and the emergency base shelter system is $203.2 million. Funding support from the IHAP covered 95% of eligible costs incurred on refugee claimants in the shelter system, resulting in a net variance cost of $10.8 million.
\r\n\r\n
- Emergency base shelter additional costs were more than offset by higher recoveries from funding under the Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP).
\r\n\r\n
As part of the Toronto-Ontario New Deal agreement, the Province of Ontario agreed to provide funding support to the City of Toronto to partially offset costs related to non-refugee shelters and homelessness prevention of $200 million annually for three years. Due to the fiscal timing difference of when the provincial government announced the three-year New Deal funding and when the funding could be recognized in the City’s fiscal period, Toronto Shelter and Support Services realized a one-time underspending of $200 million that will be used to address future shelter demand and changes to the level of intergovernmental funding support.
\r\n\r\n
Recommendation number two noted above requests to transfer the $200 million to a Working Capital Reserve on a temporary basis, so the funds can be used by Toronto Shelter and Support Services in future years as costs are incurred. A new dedicated reserve will be created for this funding as part of City of Toronto Reserve and Reserve Fund Balances as at December 31, 2023 report to isolate this available funding going forward.
\r\n\r\n
3. The remaining favourable year-end variance of $163.6 million was recognized across the other City Programs and Agencies, primarily within Corporate Accounts. Additional details by respective program can be found in appendices to this report.
\r\n\r\n

As noted in Table 1 above, for the 2023 year-end, Tax-Supported Operations experienced an unfavourable net variance of $739.3 million or 15% of planned expenditures adjusted for Toronto Building, City Planning, obligations and reserve allocations, and prior to backstop funding.
\r\n\r\n
The unfavourable variance is driven entirely by the sustained COVID-19 impacts as a result of lower than budgeted intergovernmental funding support.

\r\n
In 2023, the City continued to experience significant financial impacts, both in the form of added costs and revenue losses due to sustained impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the 2023 Operating Budget was balanced based on the expectation of continued support funding from the Government of Canada and Province of Ontario with a total budget amount of $932.8 million.
\r\n\r\n
At the end of 2023, the City received $109.9 million in intergovernmental funding support, which included $68.5 million specific to Public Health, $18.8 million for Seniors Services and Long-Term Care and $22.6 million for Toronto Shelter and Support Services. In addition to the intergovernmental funding support, the City achieved $83.6 million in offsets associated with projected COVID-19 impacts compared to budgeted estimates, leaving a $739.3 million shortfall in intergovernmental funding.
\r\n\r\n
As a result of the intergovernmental funding shortfall, the City's backstop strategy will be used to offset the COVID-19 related 2023 operating budget deficit. This includes a $739.3 million draw from the COVID-19 backstop that will leave the backstop fully depleted by the end of 2024.

\r\n
The favourable year-end variance is driven by all three Rate-Supported Programs: Solid Waste Management, Toronto Parking Authority, and Toronto Water. Solid Waste Management have primarily reported underspending for the year-end, while Toronto Parking and Toronto Water have realized favourable revenues.
\r\n\r\n
Rate-Supported Programs are funded entirely by the user fees that are used to pay for the services provided and the infrastructure to deliver them. Solid Waste Management Services and Toronto Water’s respective year-end surpluses, if any, must be transferred to the Waste Management Reserve Fund and the Wastewater and Water Stabilization Reserves respectively, to finance capital investments and ongoing capital repairs and maintenance.

The City's actual capital spending through the first four months of 2024 is $844.1 million or 13.6% of the 2024 Approved Capital Budget. This is in line with the seasonal trend of historical spending pattern. The projected spending rate is 86.1% by year-end based on submissions from City Programs and Agencies. Capital spending will continue to be reviewed with updates provided in future variance reports that will benefit from actual experience over capital intensive months. As more actual delivery materialized over the course of the year, the Programs and Agencies will provide updated spending projections.

City Clerks Office User Fee Update
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends a change in the 2024 user fee amount within the City Clerks Office from $1,200 to variable to correct for an administrative error. The fee should be displayed in Chapter 441 as variable because City Clerk’s Office levies the fee based on actual advertising costs incurred for external planning notices.
\r\n\r\n
It is recommended that City Council Amend Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 441, Fees and Charges, Appendix C – Schedule 10, City Clerk’s Office by amending the fee in the following table.
\r\n\r\n
| \r\n Reference Number \r\n | \r\n\r\n Service \r\n | \r\n\r\n Fee Description \r\n | \r\n\r\n Category \r\n | \r\n\r\n Fee Basis \r\n | \r\n\r\n Fee \r\n | \r\n\r\n Annual Adjustment \r\n | \r\n

As detailed in Table 1 above, for the four-month period, Tax-Supported Operations experienced a favourable net variance of $89.5 million. A favourable net variance is projected at year-end of $62.9 million. These figures are adjusted for Toronto Building, City Planning, which have surplus allocated to reserves by legislation or reserve draws if a deficit is experienced. It is important to note that the financial information presented is as of April 30, which is a snapshot in time and the year-end projection is based on current and expected future activities.
\r\n\r\n
The funding provided by the New Deal struck with the Province of Ontario makes significant contributions towards transit and shelter related services. To date, $300.0 million has been received for Subway and Transit Safety, Recovery and Sustainable Operations, $200.0 million for Shelters and Homelessness, and $6.9 million related to operating costs of the Gardner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway, which are all reflected in the City’s year-to-date results and year-end projections.

While the favourable year-to-date variance was driven by all three programs, Toronto Water accounts for just over fifty (50) percent of the variance. The year-end projections forecast all programs seeing a favourable net variance.
\r\n\r\n
Rate-Supported Programs are funded entirely by user fees that are used to pay for the services provided and the infrastructure to deliver them. Solid Waste Management Services and Toronto Water’s respective year-end surpluses, if any, must be transferred to the Waste Management Reserve Fund and the Wastewater and Water Stabilization Reserves respectively, to finance capital investments and ongoing capital repairs and maintenance.

\r\n\r\n
To ensure prudent financial management and considering uncertain levels of federal and provincial funding support in future years, the City must retain a contingency amount as part of its reserves and reserve funds to be in a position to address both unanticipated costs, while still maintaining a balanced budget.
\r\n\r\n
Reserve and Reserve Fund balances as at December 31, 2023, totaled $5,291.7 million, a decrease of $139.9 million from the December 31, 2022 balance of $5,431.6 million. The net decrease is the result of various Council approved contributions for capital investments in housing and capital, draws from the COVID Backstop within the Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve, contributions to vehicle and equipment replacement, and the proceeds from land sales credited directly to the land acquisition reserve fund.
\r\n\r\n
As of December 31, 2023, 94.5% of the City’s reserve and reserve fund balances are fully committed to supporting future operating expenses, or other Council-directed commitments, and expenditures in the 10-year capital plan. The remaining 5.5% of the City's reserves and reserve funds are uncommitted and being retained for emergency purposes such as stabilization of various funding sources, including the tax base, or for emergency purposes such as extreme weather events. The uncommitted amount represents 1.8% of the total 2023 approved Operating Budget of $16,200.0 million.
\r\n\r\n
In 2023, $109.9 million in COVID-19 funding support has been received for specific Public Health, Shelter and Seniors Services and Long-Term Care costs compared to $932.8 million sustained COVID-19 impacts included in the 2023 Budget. Following $83.6 million in internal offsets, a one-time draw from the City’s COVID-19 Backstop of $739.3 million was required to ensure that the City maintained a balanced 2023 Operating Budget while addressing the financial impacts continuing to arise from the sustained impacts of the pandemic. The recommendation for COVID-19 Backstop draw has been included in the Operating Variance Report for the Year-Ended December 31, 2023. A draw of this magnitude significantly depletes the funds available in the COVID-19 Backstop, with the remaining balance to be fully depleted in 2024.
","agendaItemSummary":"Reserves and Reserve Funds
\r\n\r\n
Reserves and Reserve Funds established by Toronto City Council (Council) are key to support the financial management and operations of the City of Toronto (City). These funds are set aside to help offset future capital needs, future obligations such as employee expenses, fiscal pressures from ongoing programs and unforeseen costs or to offset revenue shortfalls, minimizing annual tax rate fluctuations. As an example, prudent financial management requires the City to retain a Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve balance as a contingency to address unanticipated and emergency events. The City has committed to maintaining a Tax Rate Stabilization Reserve balance of no less than 2% of annual property tax revenues for this purpose.
\r\n\r\n
Reserves and Reserve Funds are drawn upon to finance operating and capital expenditures as designated by Council; the contributions to, or draws from, Reserve and Reserve Funds represent a source or use of funds. Contributions to Reserves and Reserve Funds are not revenue earned by the City; similarly, draws are not expenses. Total Reserve and Reserve Funds are consolidated within the City's Accumulated Surplus position on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. These balances have accumulated over the last several years with half of the contributions made to address COVID-related financial challenges at the expense of contributions that otherwise would have supported the City's capital program. Outside of planned reserve contributions for specific uses, when possible, contributions may be made when there are excess cash inflows over budgeted amounts, when there are lower expenditures than budgeted or when there are timing impacts to commitments originally planned and approved. With the sustained impacts of the pandemic and the increased financial pressures on the City, these balances are being drawn down. The COVID-19 backstop has been nearly depleted in 2023 and will be fully depleted by the end of 2024.
\r\n\r\n
This report provides a summary of activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 for the City's Reserves and Reserve Fund balances.
\r\n\r\n
Reserves and Reserve Funds balances as at December 31, 2023 totaled $5,291.7 million, a decrease of $139.9 million from the December 31, 2022 balance of $5,431.6 million. This net decrease is the result of a drawdown of the COVID-19 backstop, partially offset by various deliberate contributions for capital investments in housing and capital infrastructure, contributions to vehicle and equipment replacement, and the proceeds from land sales credited directly to the land acquisition reserve fund, as authorized by Council. The majority of the City's reserve and reserve fund balances ($5,000.1 million, or 94.5%) are committed to future Council directed activities that include capital and operating expenditures and rate-based activities. Only the remaining balance of $291.6 million, or 5.5% of total reserves and reserve funds is uncommitted and available to respond to various unanticipated costs, stabilize funding sources, including the tax base, or for emergency purposes such as extreme weather events.
\r\n\r\n
Of the $5,000.1 million in committed reserve and reserve funds, there are approximately
\r\n$15,447.3 million in future commitments and obligations against the existing reserves and discretionary reserve fund balances, which are consistent with Council approved plans over the 2023-2032 capital planning period. These commitments and obligations are nearly 3 times greater than the current reserve and discretionary reserve fund balances, requiring continued reserve contributions to support planned expenditures.

Overall, the net revenue retained by the City for 2024 has decreased by $352 from 2023. Despite this net decrease, there was an increase in total acreage of railway roadways and hydro corridor rights-of-way from 4,283.60 acres in 2023 to 4,283.65 in 2024 (representing a net increase of 0.05 acres).

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as identified in the Financial Impact section.
\r\n\r\n
1. For Hydro One properties, the City retains the education portion of taxes. In the rows labelled \"Adjusted Total\", the education portion for Hydro One properties has been included in the Municipal Portion of taxes. Prior to April 1, 1999, under a revenue sharing arrangement for Ontario Hydro properties, the City retained both the education and municipal portions of taxes. Section 361.1 of the Municipal Act was amended effective April 1, 1999 to establish that the taxes payable were included in the definition of payment-in-lieu (PIL) properties. This allowed the City to continue to retain both the municipal and education portion of taxes, and this has been continued under the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report seeks Council authority for the introduction of the by-law necessary to levy and collect taxes for the 2024 taxation year on railway roadways and rights-of-way and on land used as transmission or distribution corridors owned by power utilities, totalling approximately $6,996,373 in taxation revenue, of which the municipal share is $6,487,844 and the provincial education share is $508,529.
\r\n\r\n
The 2024 levy has remained consistent with the 2023 levy total of $6,996,832 (with a $6,488,196 municipal share and a provincial education share of $508,636). For 2024, the prescribed property tax rates for railway rights-of-way and hydro corridors remain unchanged from 2023.
\r\n\r\n
Taxation of railway lands varies across Canada, with some provinces utilizing a per-acre rate for railway lands, and most western provinces using tonnage per linear kilometre rates. In Ontario, per-acre rates are not increased annually. From 2005 to 2016 railway rates remained static, followed by modest rate increases in 2017 and again in 2018, with no rate increases since. If railway and hydro rates had been indexed to inflation to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index in each year since 2005, an additional $3,468,799 would be generated from the levy in 2024. This additional levy would be inclusive of the educational portion of Hydro One's levy of approximately $3,214,409.

*Capacity figures are estimates
\r\n\r\n
While the Province has provided 2023 final capacity figures for universities and correctional facilities (see Attachment 1), full 2023 capacity figures for colleges and hospitals have not been received to date from the Province. Therefore, the 2024 levy for colleges has been estimated using 2022 capacity figures. Additionally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the capacity figures for public hospitals are based on 2021 and 2022 data.
\r\n\r\n
The levy amount for 2024 is similar to the range of the levy amounts reported for the past four years (2020-2023), which vary from $19,109,025 to $19,556,100, as displayed in Attachment 2 of this report.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as identified in the Financial Impact section.

\r\n\r\n
A levy of $75 per head or bed has been in effect since 1987. If the rates had been increased to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index in each year from 1987 to 2024 (such that the 2024 rate would be $177.81 for each full time student, provincially rated bed, or resident place), an additional $27.2 million in tax revenue would be received in 2024.

As outlined in Part C of Schedule A, additional funding is required to support the higher than forecasted award pricing for Security Upgrades and the M & T Pumping Station Critical Repairs at the Humber and Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment plants respectively. Additional funding is also required to support the replacement of water meter data transmission units reaching end of life earlier than forecasted, and the increased owner-controlled insurance costs supporting the construction of the Outfall at the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant.

","financialImpactWep":"There are no financial implications arising from the recommendations in this report.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"Development review shapes how the City grows and delivers services necessary to successfully promote and manage growth. The development review and approval system is critical in developing affordable housing, securing parklands, driving economic growth and job creation, supporting landmark projects, and delivering complete communities that meet approved service standards and regulatory requirements across Toronto.
\r\n\r\n
In September 2019, City Council adopted the End-to-End Review of the Development Review Process final report, which outlined several recommendations to improve the City's development review process. This included implementing a new operating model focused on organizational structure, process improvements and technology.
\r\n\r\n
Implementation of the new operating model began in March 2020 by establishing an interim team-based structure, comprised of a core team of staff across several City divisions, to streamline the review of all development applications received by the City. To expedite implementation of the new operating model in response to the housing crisis, as well as the Government of Ontario’s legislated application review timelines through Bill 109, the More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022, in June 2023, the City established a new centralized service area, Development and Growth Services, and appointed a new Deputy City Manager for the service area. All development and growth-related services and functions in the City, including the review of development applications, are now reporting to the Deputy City Manager, Development and Growth Services. The City divisions under Development and Growth Services include: City Planning, Toronto Building, the Housing Secretariat and a newly created Development Review Division (Development Review).
\r\n\r\n
Development Review's mandate is to expedite the review of all development applications received by the City, with a focus on getting more homes, notably affordable homes, built faster within complete communities. To help achieve this mandate, core staff who review development applications across a number of City divisions and disciplines, some working under previously delegated Council authorities currently in effect, will now be consolidated under Development Review. This is vital to streamline decision-making; improve consistency, transparency and accountability; improve service delivery for applicants and City staff; and ultimately, accelerate the City's development application review process.
\r\n\r\n
As a result of this consolidation, the delegation of certain development review related authorities to the Executive Director, Development Review, and the appropriate City staff, is required, accompanied by changes to authorities currently delegated to the Chief Planner position. The purpose of this report is to seek the necessary delegated authority from City Council. This is required to move and consolidate City development review-related authorities within the new division.
\r\n\r\n
Council approval of the recommendations in this report will help accelerate the establishment of Development Review and advance many of the City’s strategic priorities aimed at improving the quality of life for Torontonians. This includes promoting a well-run city, creating housing that is affordable and helping Torontonians along the housing continuum, keeping Toronto moving, investing in our people and neighbourhoods, and addressing climate change.

\r\n- Bathurst Street between Eglinton Avenue West and Lakeshore Boulevard West.
","financialImpactWep":"In March 2024 (EX12.2) City Council was provided with an update on Hosting FIFA World Cup 2026, which estimated the projected expenditures of hosting in Toronto to be approximately $380 million (gross). City staff are working to plan and deliver hosting requirements while managing cost estimates, inclusive of developing a robust revenue strategy to maximize commercial supporter sales and local donor opportunities delegated by FIFA to event organizers, such as the City of Toronto.
\r\n\r\n
Intergovernmental Funding
\r\n\r\n
On May 3, 2024, the Government of Canada announced $104.34 million in federal funding to support Toronto hosting six games in the FWC26. This funding commitment will bolster both operational and capital expenditures related to Toronto’s hosting of this global marquee event. The announcement formalized the all-of-government partnership to deliver Toronto’s matches and ancillary events.
\r\n\r\n
In February 2024, the Government of Ontario announced its commitment to support the FWC26 in Toronto by allocating up to $97 million in funding. These funds are intended to support the infrastructure and logistics necessary to ensure the successful hosting of the event, reflecting the significant economic and cultural benefits associated with hosting a FIFA World Cup™.
\r\n\r\n
The FWC26 Toronto Secretariat is in regular discussions with all orders of government, negotiating terms for contribution agreements in adherence with funding conditions. The provincial and federal governments are committed to helping the City find further offsets through existing programs, where eligible.
\r\n\r\n
With provincial and federal funding commitments confirmed, the balance of the estimated cost of hosting, approximately $179 million, remains with the City of Toronto to fulfill hosting requirements. The FWC26 Toronto Secretariat continues to investigate methods and opportunities for cost containment and revenue generation to offset the City's contribution. Financial strategies, including a comprehensive revenue plan, will be included in future reports to City Council (Q4 2024) as directed by City Council on March 20, 2024 https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.EX12.2. As part of this plan, the FWC26 Toronto Secretariat will provide an update to Executive Committee, via the FIFA World Cup 2026 Subcommittee on project expenses, identifying the City’s investment for both operational expenditures to execute the tournament and financial status of capital projects providing long-lasting benefits for the people of Toronto.
\r\n\r\n
This report also recommends accelerating the review and design of RapidTO surface transit priority projects on Dufferin Street between Eglinton Avenue West and the Dufferin Gate Loop, to support reliable and convenient bus service during FWC26. To enhance transit and rider experience for FWC26, efforts are underway to accelerate the implementation of the City's RapidTO to be operational in time for spring 2026. Funding of $3.832 million is identified within the 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services to advance studies and designs for RapidTO: Surface Transit Network Plan roadways. The existing funding allotment is estimated to be sufficient to study and design approximately seven (7) to eight (8) roadways. This funding is categorized as a service improvement and enhancement in the approved 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services. Any adjustments required to supplement the above budget required will be submitted as part of the 2025-2034 capital budget submission process for council consideration.
\r\n\r\n
Funding of $27.025 million in service improvement and enhancements is included in the TTC's 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan to implement RapidTO projects, with cash flow funding across the Capital Plan years of 2024-2027. The funding is estimated to be sufficient to deliver RapidTO projects on approximately four (4) roadways, subject to final cost estimates.
\r\n\r\n
The annual funding required to maintain the RapidTO: Surface Transit Network Plan roadways will be considered as part of future operating budget submissions for Transportation Services upon completion of the project.
\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":"Toronto's journey to hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026 (FWC26) began in 2018 when FIFA awarded hosting the FWC26 to a joint bid by Canada, Mexico and the United States, with matches to be staged across 16 cities in North America. On June 16, 2022, the City of Toronto was announced as an official Host City for the FWC26. Since that time, planning has actively been underway, preparing and uniting the city for Toronto to be showcased on the world stage.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto will host six matches in the FWC26 kicking off on June 12, 2026 with the first-ever FIFA World Cup™ men’s match on Canadian soil and featuring Canada’s Men’s National Team. The games in Toronto will conclude with a knockout round of 32 match on July 2, 2026.
\r\n\r\n
Hosting the FIFA World Cup is expected to bring significant economic, cultural and community benefits to Toronto that will help to enhance the City’s global profile. The economic impact is projected to aid the City’s long-term recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic particularly benefiting the tourism, hospitality, and entertainment sectors. As with any major event, the City is working with partners to balance costs and benefits while ensuring that any public investment yields significant legacies and community benefits for Torontonians.
\r\n\r\n
This report is a coordinated response to address the multiple directives from City Council in March 2024 (EX12.2), led by the FWC26 Toronto Secretariat, in collaboration with multiple divisions and agencies, including Financial Planning, Transportation Services, Environment and Climate, Solid Waste Management Services, Social Development, Finance and Administration, Purchasing and Materials Management, Economic Development and Culture, People and Equity, Toronto Shelter and Support Services, and Toronto Transit Commission.

As an active port, a vital part of our city’s economy and home to Toronto’s thriving film studio district, the Port Lands houses a large cluster of industrial uses that build and maintain the broader city.
\r\n\r\n
The Port Lands also represents one of the most significant urban renewal opportunities in the city today. As the largest landowner in the Port Lands, TPLC, through CreateTO, is not only active in its role as steward and property manager but is also paving the way for a new era of innovation in the Port.

The Port Lands is currently undergoing significant flood protection work that will transform this neighborhood and unlock major new city-building uses. More than 120+ acres of land continue to be leased to Waterfront Toronto to support the completion of the flood protection work. Once completed, this initiative will unleash an abundance of new opportunities from affordable housing to vibrant parks, trails, and commercial hubs. We’re committed to continuing to work with our partners and stakeholders to ensure that this distinctive downtown area enriches Toronto to the fullest extent possible.

For the year 2023, please refer to the “Auditor General's 2023 Annual Report - Demonstrating the Value of the Auditor General's Office” that was adopted by City Council at its March 20, 2024 meeting.

Additional savings identified during this follow-up cycle that were not included in the 2023 Annual Report will be reflected in the Auditor General’s 2024 Annual Report.
","agendaItemSummary":"The Auditor General follows up on her reports to review management actions taken to implement the recommendations and to ensure that intended benefits are being achieved.
\r\n\r\n
At the beginning of this follow-up cycle in July 2023, management reported 294 recommendations as fully implemented or no longer applicable. We selected 128 across multiple City divisions and 63 Toronto Transit Commission recommendations to review in this follow-up cycle. The number of high priority recommendations included were 88 for the City and 44 for Toronto Transit Commission. The assessments for the 191 recommendations concluded that 136 are fully implemented, 15 are no longer applicable, and 40 are not fully implemented.
\r\n\r\n
Since 1999 to April 30, 2024, the Auditor General has verified 86 per cent of the 3,534 recommendations as fully implemented or no longer applicable.

","financialImpactWep":"By addressing the recommendations in this report, Toronto Paramedic Services will be able to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations. The resulting financial implications of any anticipated efficiencies and/or resources needed could not be determined at the time of this report.
","agendaItemSummary":"As mandated by the Ambulance Act, R.S.O. 1990 (the Act), Toronto Paramedic Services provides paramedic-based healthcare services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year in Toronto. Its services encompass emergency medical dispatch, paramedic care and land ambulance transportation to hospital, and community paramedicine. Toronto Paramedic Services manages its own ambulance communications centre to receive and dispatch calls, including 9-1-1 calls transferred to it by the Toronto Police Service.
\r\n\r\n
On average, Toronto’s ambulance communications centre handles about 910 emergency calls per day. The centre is the busiest of all the 22 ambulance communications centres in the province, receiving approximately 16 per cent of the medical emergency calls in Ontario.
\r\n\r\n
The ongoing shortage of doctors is putting added pressure on paramedic services. The Ontario College of Family Physicians reported that more than 516,000 Torontonians are currently without a family doctor. It further forecasts that nearly one million Torontonians could be without a family doctor by 2026. With the ongoing shortage of doctors, more people rely on paramedic services (and hospital emergency departments) as a safety net to access basic healthcare services they need when other options are unavailable.
\r\n\r\n
This audit assesses whether Toronto Paramedic Services is providing ambulance emergency response services in a timely manner across the City of Toronto, while optimizing the use of its resources. In assessing this objective, our audit aimed to answer the following questions:
\r\n\r\n
- Is Toronto Paramedic Services meeting its legislated and internally approved targets for providing a timely emergency response to persons requesting ambulance service?
\r\n\r\n
- Is Toronto Paramedic Services effectively measuring, monitoring, and reporting on how well it meets its targets and using these results to inform management decisions?
\r\n\r\n
- Are there opportunities for Toronto Paramedic Services to optimize its use of resources, including the use of vehicles and staff, to improve its performance and response time?
\r\n\r\n
Our report highlights opportunities for Toronto Paramedic Services to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations by:
\r\n\r\n
a. Reviewing response time targets, improving overall response times particularly for higher acuity calls, and monitoring response times by geographic area.
\r\n\r\n
b. Requesting further provincial support to address the healthcare system pressures. Determining optimal staffing and ambulance resources and implement strategies to help manage the daily, weekly, and seasonal peaks in demand that contribute to the low availability of staffed ambulances.
\r\n\r\n
c. Implementing strategies to free up resources for higher acuity calls by employing innovative approaches to address low acuity calls, diverting some mental health calls to partners in the future, and understanding the needs of frequent 9-1-1 users better through data analysis.

","agendaItemSummary":"Short-term rental services have disrupted housing markets across Canada, with apartments and houses being converted from traditional long-term housing rentals into short-term rentals. The City’s Short-Term Rental Program aims to limit short-term rental activity to principal residences and safeguard long-term rental residential housing. City Council approved regulations to govern short-term rentals in late 2017 and 2018, following public consultations.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 547, alongside zoning regulations, requires individuals to register if they want to offer short-term rentals and short-term rental companies to obtain licenses. Under these rules, individuals can host short-term rentals on their principal residence for less than 28 consecutive days.
\r\n\r\n
The Municipal Licensing and Standards Division is responsible for administering the Short-Term Rental Program and ensuring that the short-term rental operators and licensed short-term rental companies comply with the City's short-term rental and zoning bylaws. As of February 29, 2024, there were approximately 8,400 registered operators and three (one with no active listings) licensed short-term rental companies in the City.
\r\n\r\n
Revenue Services Division is responsible for collecting and processing the Municipal Accommodation Tax on short-term rental transactions.

","agendaItemSummary":"This report provides the results of an investigation into an allegation of reprisal from a City of Toronto employee in the Municipal Licensing and Standards Division. The employee claimed they were facing reprisal by management for disclosing a conflict of interest to the Fraud and Waste Hotline.
\r\n\r\n
In accordance with the Toronto Public Service By-law, Chapter 192, the Auditor General's Office (AGO) has the responsibility to investigate reprisal, in consultation with the City Manager or designate. Reprisal investigations are complex, and therefore the Auditor General initiated an investigation into the allegations.
\r\n\r\n
Under the City of Toronto Act, the Auditor General is also responsible for assisting City Council in holding itself and City administrators accountable for the quality of stewardship over public funds and for achievement of value for money in City operations. Ensuring that employees can come forward in a safe environment to report potential wrongdoing is a key internal control that helps to safeguard City assets and ensure value for money.
\r\n\r\n
Based on the work performed, the Auditor General has concluded that the employee was not subjected to reprisal for reporting a conflict of interest to the Fraud and Waste Hotline. No further action is recommended with respect to the alleged reprisal.
\r\n\r\n
With regards to the conflict of interest allegation, the Auditor General has concluded that the allegation is substantiated, including a violation of a related section in the Toronto Municipal Code. We have made two recommendations to strengthen the process for reporting and documenting conflicts of interest within the Division to supplement the overarching Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality provisions.

","financialImpactWep":"As a film studio complex, the project falls under one of the “targeted sectors” under the Community Improvement Plan by-law 1207-2018 and is therefore eligible for enhanced grants. When this enhanced grant amount is combined with the Brownfield Remediation Tax Assistance, the total maximum grant amount available is equivalent to 77 per cent of the municipal tax increment over a 12-year period.
\r\nThe combined grant amount for the development, if provided, is estimated to be $21.6 million over 10-12 years, as summarized in Table 1. The financial implications of these grants will need to be included in future year Economic, Development and Culture budgets.
\r\n\r\n
Over the grant period, the City is anticipated to receive approximately $7.1 million in net new tax revenues from this development. Thereafter, the development will generate an estimated $2.4 million in annual City property tax revenues.

\r\n
As of June 2024, the Imagination, Manufacturing, Innovation and Technology Program has approved 74 applications and disbursed or provided $268.5 million in grants, with another $45.1 million in grants projected for 2024. In addition, the estimated amount of grants that the program is committed to providing until 2038 is $422 million. In all, the total cumulative value of Imagination, Manufacturing, Innovation and Technology grants approved to date is $735.2 million.
\r\n\r\n
Together, these 74 projects are forecast to yield approximately $1.3 billion in new incremental property tax revenue for the City during the 10-year term of their Financial Incentive Agreements (or a 12-year term, in the case of the Brownfield Remediation Tax Assistance). While collectively receiving $735.2 million in grants from the City, resulting in a net revenue gain for the City of $564.8 million via increased municipal tax proceeds.
\r\n\r\n
If the above application is approved, the City’s total committed grants under this program are projected to be $756.8 million by 2038.
\r\n\r\n
Since January 2024, 5 applications with a combined grant value of $234.1 million have been refused or withdrawn. The City is currently reviewing IMIT financial incentive applications for 12 other projects. These applications are at various stages in the review process, as described in Attachment 2. Were they all to be approved, these applications would result in financial commitments of up to $69.1 million in the form of property tax incentives collectively over their 10-year (or with BRTA up to 12-year) grant terms. However, conditions in the local property market appear to be slowing if not jeopardizing the viability of some of the projects, although final determinations can only be made following the full application assessment process. The prevailing market conditions may impact the viability of some projects to move forward and therefore decline the City’s exposure to new commitments.
\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":"This report provides recommendations on an Imagination, Manufacturing, Innovation and Technology Program application for a film studio complex known as Basin Media Studios in the Port Lands, an area in Ward 14 (Toronto – Danforth).
The application was submitted by Hackman Capital Partners and CreateTO on May 24, 2023, and is subject to the City-Wide Community Improvement Plan, By-law 1207-2018, which was the bylaw in effect at the time of application. The applicant has also applied for the Brownfield Remediation Tax Assistance incentive.
By-law 1207-2018 states that City Council approval is required in cases where an application for Development Grants has an estimated construction value for the development exceeding $150 million. Due to the potential financial implications to the City of approving an Imagination, Manufacturing, Innovation and Technology Program application for a project of this size, the City contracted with Hemson Consulting Limited. to provide a third-party review and detailed analysis of the subject applications (Attachment 2).
For the reasons detailed in this report, staff recommends the approval of the application for 29, 35, 41 and 75 Basin Street.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, a new City-wide Community Improvement Plan for a Financial Incentive Program consisting of development grants will be brought forward to City Council. Until any new City-Wide Community Improvement Plan by-law is approved and in force, applications received under the existing program will continue to be considered and processed under the applicable in-force by-law at the date of the application’s receipt.
This report was prepared by Economic Development and Culture division in consultation with City Planning, Finance and Treasury Services, and Social Development, Finance and Administration.
The Economic and Community Development Committee recommends that:
\r\n\r\n
1. City Council approve Imagination, Manufacturing, Innovation, and Technology incentives for the following application:

","financialImpactWep":"This report seeks approval for the Association of Community Centres (AOCCs) Expansion Framework and Divisional collaboration and support to implement the framework.
\r\n\r\n
The City of Toronto currently has ten centres that are managed, operated, and maintained by volunteer Boards of Management, which are collectively referred to as the Association of Community Centres. The City has a Relationship Framework with the Association of Community Centres, wherein the City provides each Centre with facility and core administrative funding, subject to approval through the annual budget process, with the centres raising the required programming funds through membership and program fees, grants, special projects and philanthropic donations. Under the Relationship Framework, the City also provides each Centre with access to a City-owned or City-leased facility. Social Development, Finance and Administration is the program liaison for the Association of Community Centres, with the City Manager’s Office being responsible for governance, legislative matters, municipal code provisions, board relations, and the Relationship Framework.
\r\n\r\n
Core administrative funding budgeted from the City in 2024 for existing medium to large-size AOCCs ranges from approximately $0.868 million to $2.268 million. The estimated cost to construct a new AOCC would be $20-$60 million for 20,000 to 40,000 square feet of space, with an additional 2-3 percent required annually for long-term state-of-good-repair (SOGR) costs. Savings could be realized by re-purposing surplus City buildings, co-locating City and Community Services and/or leasing City facilities and lands at concessional rates to establish additional AOCCs.
\r\n\r\n
There are no immediate additional financial implications arising from the approval of the recommendations in this report. Funding requirements to expand the Association of Community Centres, as per the Expansion Framework, will be submitted for consideration as part of future budget processes subject to the City's financial and resource capacity against other critical City-wide operating and capital priorities.

","agendaItemSummary":"Community and social service organizations provide critical social infrastructure that is essential in the development of complete communities. As the City of Toronto undergoes continued growth and development, the need for additional community-based social infrastructure becomes increasingly important. The City can help meet this need through a renewed approach to developing City-owned, community-operated service spaces through a policy framework to facilitate the expansion of the Association of Community Centres (AOCCs) model. The purpose of this report is to put forward an Association of Community Centres (AOCCs) Expansion Framework.
\r\n\r\n
Currently, the City of Toronto has ten centres that are operated and maintained by volunteer Boards of Management appointed by the City, which is collectively referred to as the Association of Community Centres. The Centres are multi-purpose facilities that provide public space, programs, and services to meet the social and recreational and needs of local communities. The ten centres are managed, operated, and maintained by Council-approved volunteer Boards of Management. The City of Toronto provides each Centre with access to a City-owned or City-leased facility and core administrative funding. Programming funds are raised through membership and program fees, as well as donations and grants. The Association of Community Centres portfolio has not been expanded in more than 30 years. Although the Centres are designated as part of an association, they operate independently as ten separate local and City boards under the City of Toronto Act, 2006. A Relationship Framework sets out Council’s delegation of authority, expectations and requirements for the Boards of Management.
\r\n\r\n
These ten Centres are distinct from the City’s 126 Community Recreation Centres, operated by Parks, Forestry and Recreation, as well as centres that are operated by other nonprofit agencies, such as the YMCA. AOCCs aim to achieve the following community development outcomes:
\r\n\r\n
· Social Connectedness and Cohesion, contributing to fostering social connectedness and cohesion among community members through the promotion of cross-cultural understanding, access to barrier-free spaces, diverse programming, volunteer opportunities and local community engagement.
\r\n· Community Resilience, including increasing access to health-related resources and services, engaging and prioritizing vulnerable or marginalized groups, and maintaining long-term, often local staff to build enduring relationships with residents.
\r\n· Local Leadership and Collaboration, focusing on partnerships with local agencies, grassroots groups, educational institutions, BIAs, and various City divisions to provide locally relevant opportunities and supports.
\r\n· Improved Health and Well-being, offering a range of tailored and responsive programs, services, and support networks that address the physical, social, emotional, and educational needs of meet the needs of vulnerable populations, such as seniors, low-income families, and individuals with disabilities.
\r\n\r\n
The report outlines an equitable, location-based methodology to guide expansion, including alignment with the advancement of Complete Communities, use of equity metrics, geographic distribution, as well as community leadership and resident activation and the alignment with planning frameworks and area-based plans. Procedural, financial and legal considerations for expanding the Association of Community Centres are included, and the framework will place priority on understanding programming requirements, identifying existing space and locating potential development opportunities, formulating a capital resourcing strategy, and establishing a local Program Advisory Body.
\r\n\r\n
Social Development, Finance and Administration will coordinate a City of Toronto Association of Community Centres Interdivisional Working Group to provide continuous input, references, and leadership to implement the Association of Community Centres Expansion Framework. The Interdivisional Working Group will develop an Implementation Plan and Resourcing Strategy including shortlisted areas and sites for expansion, by Q3 2025, for potential consideration as part of the 2026 budget process. The Working Group will explore the potential application of the Framework to existing development projects as well as new opportunities. A multi-stakeholder, city-wide Expansion Advisory Group will also be developed to guide the expansion of the Association of Community Centre model.

3. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Social Development, Finance and Administration to create a grant program to provide funding to not-for-profit organizations in accordance with the City's Community Grants Policy.
","financialImpactWep":"This report seeks approval to adopt the Downtown East 2025-2030 Action Plan and implement the actions as identified in Attachment 4. This would be the second five-year Action Plan for the area.
\r\n\r\n
The original Five-Year Action Plan (2019-2024) was approved by Council in July 2019 and, the City has supported the implementation of the Downtown East Action Plan through existing resources from a number of City divisions, since 2020.
\r\n\r\n
Social Development, Finance and Administration's base Operating Budget has included annual funding of approximately $1.47 million (gross and net) that has been fully allocated to support the implementation of the Action Plan. Other Divisions and Agencies supported the Action Plan based on ongoing resources and activities that were already occurring.
\r\n\r\n
The new Five-Year (2025-2030) Downtown East Action Plan continues to focus on safety and inclusivity and includes recommended actions and activities that the City should prioritize over the next few years. Some are ready for implementation, and other core and signature projects may require longer-term reviews, more strategic planning among City divisions, community engagement, as well as collaborative efforts exploring inter-governmental funding opportunities, prior to execution.
\r\n\r\n
As outlined in Attachment 4 of this report, approximately $2.705 million (gross and net) in additional funding will be required in 2025 to continue existing actions and begin new actions while other actions will use existing resources. Some of the unfunded new or emerging priority actions identified in this term of the Action Plan need to be further reviewed, scoped, and assessed. These unfunded priority actions include new grants of $0.850 million ($0.800 million for a Safe & Inclusive Communities Grant program and $0.050 million for the development of a Strengthening Neighbourhoods Grant program) to help advance the central outcomes of the Downtown East Action Plan with community activation projects.
\r\n\r\n
Social Development, Finance and Administration and other City Divisions will continue to review their capacity and resources and will include funding requests for the unfunded priority actions in the 2025 Budget and future Budget processes for consideration along with other City priorities, subject to the City's financial resource capacity.
\r\n\r\n
The continuation of the Downtown East Action Plan requires ongoing resources and commitment from community stakeholders and multiple levels of government - the City lacks the resources, funding, authority, and jurisdiction to achieve all its goals independently.
\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 Downtown East area is defined as Bloor Street to the north, Front Street to the south, Bay Street to the west, and the Don Valley Parkway to the east. Many distinct neighbourhoods are in this area, including Moss Park, St. James Town, Church-Wellesley Village, Regent Park and Cabbagetown. These neighbourhoods have resilient social networks, a history of community involvement, and local identities. Alongside being a destination for people across the city for jobs, services, entertainment and tourism, Downtown East also faces a multitude of complex social challenges amidst its vibrancy and economic activity. The 2020-2024 Downtown East Action Plan was developed to address these entrenched issues, ranging from poverty and homelessness to mental health and substance use crises. Despite the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic impacting implementation, significant progress has been made through multi-sectoral collaboration and targeted initiatives.
\r\n\r\n
The Action Plan, guided by extensive stakeholder collaboration, has delivered tangible outcomes in community safety, housing strategy advancement, and the provision of support services to meet urgent and emerging needs. Piloted initiatives and citywide strategies have evolved to amplify impact. Notwithstanding concerted efforts, significant ongoing challenges persist; most notably, housing affordability, healthcare access, and sustainable funding for initiatives that support the outcomes of the Action Plan.
\r\n\r\n
Key lessons from the implementation of the first phase emphasized the importance of collaborative partnership building, enhanced community engagement, and strategic alignment to maximize impact. Addressing systemic challenges such as service gaps and sustainable program funding remains crucial for long-term success. The 2025-2030 Downtown East Action Plan will continue to prioritize safe, inclusive communities, cross-sector collaboration, stability for those experiencing marginalization, and a model for City responses to complex issues.
\r\n\r\n
Staged implementation strategies, ongoing communication, sustained funding, and enhanced monitoring and evaluation mechanisms are outlined as critical components for effective implementation of the next phase of the Action Plan. Continued partnership between stakeholders and the City of Toronto, coupled with proactive community engagement, will be essential to address the evolving needs of the Downtown East and foster a more resilient and inclusive community.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Maintaining and growing our child care system in Toronto is a key priority, as outlined in our Licensed Child Care Growth Strategy. Since the introduction of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, Toronto Children’s Services has been working with operators to implement the program despite the challenges created by the program’s guidelines.
\r\n\r\n
During the implementation of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, the childcare sector has faced a number of challenges. Operators have faced uncertainty on both operating and capital funding, while disparities in workers’ wages have caused recruitment and retention challenges. Sector expansion is stalled due to inadequate investment, and a lack of clarity on the provincial funding formula has made it hard to plan for the future. It is clear that much more work is needed in order for our child care system to be accessible and inclusive for everyone.
\r\n\r\n
The City of Toronto’s Economy and Community Development Committee called for a roundtable of Toronto’s child care sector to be convened to discuss these challenges, identify opportunities, and talk about how we can move forward together to build the best possible future for child care in Toronto. In this report, you’ll see the key themes identified through the roundtable’s discussions and the collective wisdom of those who are on the frontlines.
\r\n\r\n
Affordable and accessible child care helps us build a more fair city and grows our economy. The Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care agreement also needs to be implemented in a way that is fair, sustainable, and promotes growth. This isn’t feasible without additional support from the provincial and federal governments.
\r\n\r\n
I extend my sincere thanks to all those who joined us for the roundtable, and to everyone else who has reached out in the past few months to speak up for child care in Toronto.

\r\n\r\n
So, while we understandably might think and act in terms of our land boundaries and property requirements at times, our youth just see paths, grass, swing sets, trees, fields - and future possibilities. During the pandemic, the City of Toronto supported the resilience and health of our school communities by enabling our school communities to use their adjacent parks during school hours. Apart from restoring that practical precedent, we would like to:
\r\n\r\n
· Cultivate further cooperation by exploring joint climate resilient greening projects;
\r\n\r\n
· Expand possibilities for year-round programming that supports lifelong learning and healthy communities; and,
\r\n\r\n
· Explore strategic opportunities to use public lands to their full potential.

1. City Council direct the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards and the Chief Technology Officer to report back to Economic and Community Development Committee by the second quarter of 2025 with a Business Licence and Permit Applications Action Plan containing actions to further simplify the application process for business licences and permits regulated under Chapter 545, Licensing and other licensing bylaws administered by Municipal Licensing and Standards; including but not limited to accelerating plans for technology improvements to continue modernizing the licensing system, communications improvements, updated interdivisional review processes and requirements, permit issuance improvements, and more.
\r\n
2. City Council direct the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards to include the simplification of application requirements as a key consideration of the ongoing review of Chapter 545, Licensing and report back on current licence application requirements that can be modified or eliminated as part of the ongoing policy review of Chapter 545, Licensing.
One of the most common ways that Torontonians interact with municipal government is by applying for a licence or permit. People in our city, including many in my own ward of Davenport, have shared that the current application processes can be inconsistent, unclear, and confusing.
\r\n\r\n
Torontonians want to follow the rules and apply for permits and licences to open new small businesses and over 120 other licence and permit types. It should be easy to apply for a permit or licence, but years of compounding changes and adjustments have made it harder.
\r\n\r\n
In recent years, we’ve made some good progress on improving our business licence system including through the introduction of online applications, modernizing regulations for bars, restaurants and entertainment venues, and streamlining some requirements. We can build on that progress to make it even easier for Torontonians.
\r\n\r\n
It’s time to accelerate and make visible improvements to how applications are received, processed, and issued, and to look more broadly at the requirements in our Licensing By-law to make sure that we’re only asking for the information we need and reducing administrative burden on residents and small business owners/operators. Together, let’s make it easier to get a business licence or permit in Toronto.

","financialImpactWep":"There is currently no financial impact from the recommendation in this report. Full discussion of financial implications will be addressed in the anticipated supplemental report.
","agendaItemSummary":"The City of Toronto provides year-round ferry services for residents, passengers and vehicles traveling to and from Toronto Island. Due to the aging ferry fleet, City Council directed Parks, Forestry and Recreation to advance the Ferry Fleet Replacement Strategy, beginning with the construction of two new, fully electric ferry vessels: a new passenger and vehicle vessel and new passenger vessel.
\r\n\r\n
The delivery of the two new vessels will increase the City's ferry capacity by over 400 passengers per trip for the passenger and vehicle vessel and nearly 1,000 passengers per trip for the passenger vessel. Delivery of the new vessels will also enhance the passenger experience with contemporary ferry designs and amenities, reduce anticipated repair costs of the current fleet, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions as the ferry fleet transitions from diesel to electric.
\r\n\r\n
City Council initiated the Ferry Fleet Replacement Strategy with preliminary funding allocated in 2015. During the course of the design process, in 2022, City Council established the objective of constructing fully electric vessels (rather than hybrid diesel-electric vessels). The recommended design responds to this direction and input received through community engagement.
\r\n\r\n
Delivery of the new vessels is targeted to occur in the fall of 2026 and spring of 2027.
\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this report is to advise on the status of the Negotiated Request for Proposals for the construction, delivery, commissioning, and warranty of two new fully electric ferry vessels, and the intention of staff to continue negotiations with the preferred proponent. A supplemental report, with full details on the recommended contract award, delivery schedule and financial impact, will be submitted to General Government Committee for its meeting of July 2, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
Consideration of this report at July 2024 City Council is essential to preserve the current planned delivery schedule for the new vessels.

\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this report is to advise on the results of the Negotiated Request for Proposals Doc4053424337 for the provision of construction, delivery, commissioning and warranty of two new fully electric ferry vessels, and to seek authority for the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to negotiate and enter into an agreement, and any ancillary or related agreements, with Damen Shipbuilding 5 B.V (Damen Shipbuilding) for a fixed period of four and a half (4.5) years from the date of award.
\r\n\r\n
This Negotiated Request for Proposals was developed strategically to source two electric propulsion ferry vessels - one RoPax Vessel (vehicle and passenger vessel) and one Pax Vessel (solely passenger vessel) - by PFR and Purchasing and Materials Management Division's Category Management and Strategic Sourcing team and identified Damen Shipbuilding, a shipbuilder with significant Canadian and international industry expertise.
\r\n\r\n
Damen Shipyards Galati (Romania) will be the location for construction. Delivery of the vessels is targeted to occur in the Q4 2026 (RoPax) and Q2 2027 (Pax). The new vessels will increase the City's ferry capacity by over 400 passengers per trip for the RoPax (a 195% increase) and nearly 1,000 passengers per trip for the Pax (a 321% increase). The new vessels will significantly enhance passenger experience with contemporary ferry designs and amenities, reduce expected repair costs of the current fleet, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions as the ferry fleet transitions from diesel to full electric propulsion.

","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to request authority from City Council to amend non-competitive Blanket Contract 47023317 with Cummins Canada ULC for the supply and delivery of labour, materials, and equipment necessary to provide warranty and non-warranty Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) authorized parts and services for Cummins engines to extend the contract validity date by an additional five (5) year term and increase the budget by $685,175 net of Harmonized Sales Tax and all applicable charges ($697,235 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries and to increase the scope to include the provision of service bulletins, safety recalls, services, tools, subscriptions and training;
\r\n\r\n
The term extension for Blanket Contract 47023317 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 overall target value from $500,000 to $1,185,175 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($1,339,248 including all taxes and charges, $1,206,034 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).
\r\n\r\n
This report also requests that Non-Competitive Blanket Contracts be established with Cummins Canada ULC for Toronto Fire Services for a total potential value of $1,331,312 net of all applicable taxes $1,354,746 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries) and for Toronto Paramedic Services for a total potential value of $408,186 net of all applicable taxes $415,372 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries). These non-competitive contracts will be for an initial term of one (1) year from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025, with the option to renew the contract for four (4) additional (1) one year periods, at the sole discretion of the City.
\r\n\r\n
The amended contract will be for the provision of warranty and non-warranty service bulletins, safety recalls, services, tools, subscriptions, and training on Cummins engines for which Cummins Canada ULC is the only authorized service facility. These services, tools, subscriptions, and training cannot be obtained through the competitive procurement process as Cummins Canada ULC is the only authorized services facility in the Greater Toronto Area.
\r\n\r\n
Access to warranty and non-warranty service bulletins, safety recalls, and services pertaining to Cummins engines will allow the City to optimize fleet performance, and equipment health and safety. This information and these services are required to increase fleet availability and reliability to ensure that units are able to deliver critical services across the City of Toronto, specifically to support Toronto Fire Services and Toronto Paramedics Services. 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
Access to Cummins authorized technical training, tools, and subscriptions, will ensure that technicians stay up to date with industry leading service knowledge, capabilities, technology and trends. This will support Fleet Services’, Toronto Fire Services’ and Toronto Paramedic Services’ ongoing work to reduce downtime and increase fleet availability by giving technicians the training and tools to complete warranty and non-warranty repairs in house.
\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.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as identified in the Financial Impact Section.
","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6050005 with Yardi Canada Ltd., for the provision of an Integrated Housing Management System and Acquisition system. In 2019, Toronto Community Housing entered into a five (5)-year agreement for a Software as a Service solution with Yardi Canada Ltd., that included language allowing the City of Toronto to piggyback on that procurement. The City exercised the piggyback option, which resulted in Purchase Order 6050005. The Purchase Order amendment sought in this report is requested to include units associated with the Affordable Rental Housing Program into the existing Integrated Housing Management System (MyAccesstoHousingTO). The City's Digital Infrastructure Framework principles will continue to guide the next phase implementation with the inclusion of Affordable rental units in MyAccesstoHousingTO.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto City Council, at the July 19, 2022 meeting of the Planning and Housing Committee, directed the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration, the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat to:
\r\n\r\n
Engage stakeholders (including the public, private and not profit housing providers, community organizations and the development industry) in designing a model for a new affordable housing centralized access system which would leverage the City's current choice-based system for subsidized housing to allow applicants to search and apply for available affordable housing and allow housing providers to advertise and fill affordable units with eligible applicants through a randomized draw process. Leveraging the City's existing technology to integrate the Affordable Rental Housing Program ensures service continuity, optimizes efficiencies, and allows for system integration across multiple City-run housing programs to deliver a streamlined and coordinated service to Toronto residents.
\r\n\r\n
While the initiative has been led by the Housing Secretariat, it has been in collaboration with Technology Services Division on the initial implementation of MyAccesstoHousingTO. There is an ongoing commitment to align this initiative to the principles outlined in the Digital Infrastructure Strategy and, in partnership with Technology Services, maintain a focus on continuous improvement for the benefit of applicants.
\r\n\r\n
The requested amendment increases the Purchase Order value by $1,166,254 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,186,780 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).
\r\n\r\n
In addition, this report requests approval to re-negotiate and enter into a further five (5) year license agreement with Yardi Canada Ltd., commencing January 1, 2025 and ending on December 31, 2029. The current agreement is set to expire on December 31, 2024. As we are extending the term of contract beyond that set out in the original solicitation, a renewal shall be considered non-competitive agreement (in accordance with Section 195.7.1.E of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195 (Purchasing)) and will allow for the City of Toronto's to align with Toronto Community Housing's amended agreement. This further agreement will be inclusive of the existing Choice-Based System and the Housing Provider Web-Based Portal project, previously included in Purchase Order 6050005. The further five (5) year licence agreement is expected to be valued at $5,960,150 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($6,065,049 net of Harmonized sales Tax recoveries), subject to further negotiation with Yardi Canada Ltd.
\r\n\r\n
The total value of the two requests is $7,126,404 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($7,251,829 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the overall Purchase Order value from $6,065,796 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($6,172,554 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $13,192,200 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($13,424,383 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to request authority to enter into a non-competitive contract with Hootsuite Inc. for an enterprise social media management solution. A competitive procurement was attempted but unsuccessful. A non-competitive procurement is necessary to continue the City’s contract for an enterprise social media management platform. The contract will be for an initial three (3)-year period from date of award to August 27, 2027 with the option to renew the agreement on the same terms and conditions for one (1) additional term for a two (2)-year period, in the total amount of $853,343 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($868,362 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).
\r\n\r\n
The initial contract was awarded to Hootsuite Inc. in February 2020 during a possible labour disruption to centralize the management and access to the City's numerous social media accounts and reduce reputational risk. The City made a non-competitive purchase and signed a one (1)-year contract with Hootsuite Inc. for their enterprise package. The contract was extended until August 27, 2024 to afford staff the opportunity to pursue a new agreement through a competitive process.
\r\n\r\n
The competitive procurement process, which ran from October 6, 2023 to November 24, 2023, resulted in an unsuccessful outcome where no proponent met the City's requirements. Strategic Public and Employee Communications Division (SPEC), Customer Experience Division (CXD) and Purchasing and Materials Management Division (PMMD) are requesting approval to pursue a non-competitive agreement with the existing supplier, Hootsuite Inc. as the current agreement expires on August 27, 2024.
\r\n\r\n

Table 1 provides a breakdown of Canadian Red Cross's costs charged to the City since 2020.

\r\n
Toronto Emergency Management manages the expenses associated with the delivery of Emergency Social Services for minor incidents through the Emergency Human Services Expense Account. In instances where the Expense Account is in deficit, funds are drawn from the Emergency Human Services Reserve. For larger and more complex emergencies, the City establishes a non-program account to track and cover all Emergency Social Services costs. The City has not had to respond to an emergency of a magnitude requiring it to establish a non-program account for Emergency Social Services since 2020 (i.e., over the period of its current service agreement with Canadian Red Cross).
\r\n\r\n
Since 2020, the annual budget allocated to the Emergency Human Services Expense Account is $600,000 (previously $500,000). As of September 30, 2023, the current balance of the Emergency Human Services Reserve is $2,252,428.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto Emergency Management is seeking approval from City Council to spend up to $3,000,000 per year to pay Canadian Red Cross for the delivery of Emergency Social Services. This is an increase from the previously approved $1,500,000 for the period spanning from 2020 to 2024. This adjustment is based on an assessment of rising supplier costs, increased length of Emergency Social Services required, and a risk factor of large-scale, complex major incidents.
\r\n\r\n
The non-competitive contract between Toronto Emergency Management and Canadian Red Cross will delineate the roles, responsibilities, terms, and conditions governing the provision of Emergency Social Services. Reimbursable costs covered by the City will encompass direct aid, operational expenses (such as personnel, responder travel, and shelter operation costs), and an administrative fee equivalent to 12 percent of the total expenses to account for Canadian Red Cross's overhead.
\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":"The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority to enter into a non-competitive agreement with Canadian Red Cross for the provision of Emergency Social Services. The non-competitive contract will commence January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2029, for an initial two (2) year term, with an option to renew for one additional two (2) year period and one (1) additional one (1) year period, totaling five (5) years. This non-competitive contract will ensure there is a local and scalable agency to meet the immediate, short-term needs of Toronto residents affected by an emergency.
\r\n\r\n
As part of the environmental scan of Emergency Social Services providers, it has been noted that Canadian Red Cross offers a wide array of services and possesses capacity, especially in addressing rapid-response situations of varying scales. Considering the breadth of services and capabilities offered by Canadian Red Cross, establishing a non-competitive contract agreement is deemed essential to guarantee efficient and reliable access to these resources.
\r\n\r\n
While a non-competitive service agreement is being sought by Toronto Emergency Management for Emergency Social Services, Toronto Emergency Management will be exploring procurement options with additional suppliers that can complement Canadian Red Cross' capabilities. Over the next five years, Toronto Emergency Management will actively identify and collaborate with secondary suppliers to build the sector's capacity, paving the way for a competitive procurement process in the future.

","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the status of the City of Toronto's St. Lawrence Market North Redevelopment project (the “Project”) and advise City Council, pursuant to Chapter 195 of the Toronto Municipal Code (Purchasing By-law, Section 195-7.4), of a non-competitive contract with the General Contractor, The Buttcon Limited / The Atlas Joint Venture (“BA-JV”), for the non-exclusive supply of construction services both already completed and still required to attain substantial completion, occupancy, and operational readiness of the St. Lawrence Market North Redevelopment, for a total value of $9,335,692 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($9,500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries). These additional costs were primarily driven by unforeseen cost escalations from the COVID-19 pandemic, client-driven changes including the incorporation of updated workplace modernization standards, evolving information and technology requirements around the delivery of court services, security and police radio system infrastructure, and errors and omissions from the Prime Architect.
\r\n\r\n
In consultation with the Purchasing and Materials Management Division (“PMMD”), the non-competitive contract was issued on the basis of emergency in order to meet immediate legislated payment requirements and avoid further Project delays that would have resulted in additional Project costs. Reporting back to City Council is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, Article 7, Section 195-7.4(B) where a non-competitive contract over $500,000 is entered into on an emergency basis.
\r\n\r\n
This report also requests that City Council grant authority to amend Purchase Order Number 6034062 issued to Adamson Associates Architects (“AAA”) for an additional amount of $40,000 net of all taxes and charges, revising the current purchase order value from $6,951,199 to $6,991,199 net of all taxes and charges ($7,114,244, net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), for ongoing contract administration services and expertise. The requested amendment will restore sufficient value to the contract to ensure that contract administration services are available for the duration of the Project.
\r\n\r\n
Approval of the purchase order amendment for continued contract administration services will allow construction to continue, with the Project expected to be completed and the facility ready for tenant fit-up in September 2024.

The Toronto Transit Commission's cost of 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 the Toronto Transit Commission. 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 Capital Budget for the Toronto Transit Commission.

\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as identified in the Financial Impact section.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report outlines the food-related greenhouse gas emissions associated with meals served by the City of Toronto in relation to its Cool Food Pledge commitment. Specifically, it outlines how the City of Toronto is exploring a shift to climate-friendlier meals in order to reduce corporate food-related greenhouse gas emissions and meet its Cool Food Pledge commitments.
\r\n\r\n
In 2019, Toronto became a signatory of the World Resources Institute's Cool Food Pledge and committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from corporate food procurement by 25 per cent by 2030 relative to 2019 levels. The City is also a C40 Good Food Cities signatory, pledging to achieve a planetary health diet for Toronto residents by 2030. Furthermore, the City of Toronto is also currently undertaking actions that align with the Plant Based Treaty, a voluntary treaty that the City of Toronto has not formally signed, which aims to reduce the widespread degradation of ecosystems worldwide caused by animal agriculture by promoting a shift to more healthy, sustainable plant-based diets.
\r\n\r\n
For the year 2019, Toronto's food-related emissions were measured at 46 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)1. Of those emissions, nearly half were attributable to beef and lamb alone, which comprised only three percent of total food purchased by weight.
\r\n\r\n
Corporate food-related procurement data
\r\n\r\n
Three City Divisions -- Seniors Services and Long-Term Care, Toronto Shelter and Support Services, and Children's Services -- procure the vast majority of food purchased by the City of Toronto, serving approximately seven million meals annually. In 2022, these Divisions purchased a combined 3,207 tonnes of food, which resulted in about 43,905 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. Of that, 87 tonnes of food purchased were beef which accounted for 48 per cent of corporate food-related emissions.
\r\n\r\n
City of Toronto Divisions are taking actions toward meeting the City of Toronto's Cool Food Pledge target. For example, in January 2024, Toronto Shelter and Support Services signed the Forward Food Pledge, committing to transitioning at least 33 percent of animal-based foods to plant-based by 2027 relative to 2024. Children's Services was able to reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions by 43 percent relative to 2019 levels, surpassing the Cool Food Pledge target by almost eliminating beef from the menu.
\r\n\r\n
Meaningful consultations with the varied populations being served by the City of Toronto will ensure that proposed strategies to meet the City of Toronto's Cool Food Pledge target do not further burden populations already disproportionately impacted by climate change, food insecurity and other inequalities.
\r\n\r\n
The City of Toronto is taking steps in becoming one of the few jurisdictions in the world aiming to address this complexity by meaningfully reducing our emissions from corporate food procurement through key City of Toronto service areas. A multidisciplinary, multi-Divisional approach will help facilitate discussions and enable the City of Toronto to meaningfully reduce its food-related emissions while considering the complexities associated with serving climate-friendly meals through its services.

*Includes $5.576 million for Shoreline and Flooding and mitigation Measures
\r\n\r\n
For Toronto Island Park, there is $50.663 million identified over the ten-year capital plan. Of that total, $26.425 million is allocated to state of good repair works, including $5.576 million for shoreline and flooding mitigation measures and $20.849 million for rehabilitation of various trails and buildings on Centre Island, Olympic Island, Ward’s Island and Hanlan's Point. These State of Good Repair projects are primarily funded by debt, with a portion of shoreline and flooding mitigation measure works jointly funded by the Federal Government through the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund.
\r\n\r\n
A further $24.238 million is identified for service improvement projects in Toronto Island Park over the same period. This includes $23.213 million for the Toronto Island Park Master Plan Implementation over 2024 - 2033. This funding is cash-flowed for implementation activities to span continuously over the ten years of the capital plan in the form of multiple discrete projects. The funding source for these works consists of Section 42 Cash-in-lieu of Parkland Dedication Reserve Funds from both local and city-wide accounts. There is an additional $1.025 million in service improvement funding identified for various improvements to Hanlan's Point and Franklin Children's Garden Wetland Restoration over 2024 - 2025, with funding from Section 42 Cash-in-lieu of Parkland Dedication Reserve Funds.
\r\n\r\n
Parks, Forestry and Recreation's 10-Year Capital Plan also includes $5.848 million for the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, with $3.375 million in Debt funding for state of good repair works, and $2.473 million from debt and Section 42 Cash-in-lieu Reserve funds to advance near-term improvements to the terminal and the electronic ferry ticketing system.
\r\n\r\n
For replacement of the ferry fleet and related infrastructure improvements, the 2024 - 2033 Capital Plan includes $85.438 million over the next three years, funded from a combination of sources, including debt, development charges (XR2114) and the Ferry Replacement Reserve Fund (XQ1206).
\r\n\r\n
The 2024 Operating Budget for Parks, Forestry and Recreation identifies an annual operating cost of approximately $5.280 million for the Toronto Island Park offset by approximately $0.340 million in annual revenue (excluding ferry expenses / operations), which applies to the years 2024 - 2026. For the years 2027 - 2033, an estimated 3 percent annual inflation is assumed for both expenses and revenue resulting in an estimated annual operating cost of $6.680 million by 2033 estimated to be offset by approximately $0.415 million in revenue. These above amounts do not include any operating impacts related to future projects that may be advanced as a result of the approval of the Toronto Island Park Master Plan. Projects implemented as an outcome of the adoption of the Master Plan will be included in future year budget approvals; implemented projects may result in additional operating costs and revenue.
\r\n\r\n
The full implementation of the Toronto Island Master Plan, including Near-Term Priorities, will require further capital and operational planning and collaboration among City Divisions and other partners including further public, stakeholder, and working group engagement as well as exploring opportunities for intergovernmental funding. Where projects align with other divisional priorities, the appropriate City Divisions will include these projects, as well as associated operating impacts, in future budget processes, subject to the capital planning and prioritization process for infrastructure planning and investment.
\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":"Toronto Island Park (the Island) is a 242 hectare (598 acre) public park formally established in 1956 and recognized as a sacred and significant place known by Indigenous communities as Mnissing (\"on the islands\") since long before colonial record. Toronto Island Park is comprised of 15 discrete islands and internal waterways, providing a habitat for a diversity of flora and fauna, a natural recreational amenity for millions of annual visitors, and a home to over 600 Island residents.
\r\n\r\n
This staff report summarizes, and seeks Council's endorsement of, the Toronto Island Master Plan, see Attachment 1 and 2, which was developed as a long-needed response to the complex needs and significant challenges facing the Island. These challenges include the increasing effects of climate change, population and tourism growth placing pressure on Toronto Island Park's amenities and natural environment, associated maintenance and state of good repair needs of aging infrastructure, and a desire to enhance access and the overall visitor experience of the Island. The Toronto Island Master Plan is a generational opportunity to establish a vision for what this treasured place can become with strategic investments, and chart a sustainable, celebratory, and equitable future for Toronto Island, its visitors, and its residents.
\r\n\r\n
The Toronto Island Master Plan is the result of a three-year long collaboration and engagement with and between Indigenous rights holders, urban Indigenous communities, Island residents, Toronto’s 2SLGBTQ+ communities, intergovernmental partners, advocacy organizations, vendors, businesses, and city residents and visitors. City staff heard stories and came to appreciate how special and personal this space is for so many and how invested the public is in sustaining its charm, meaning and environments for the future. Improvements to Toronto Island Park should be carefully considered to balance multiple overlapping objectives. These include a \"light touch\" approach that prioritizes the ecological integrity of the Island, a \"play and explore\" visitor experience that continues from the mainland to the islands and back, and a focus on equity that \"honours and celebrates\" the deep Indigenous significance of the Islands, their rich 2SLGBTQ+ history, and the contemporary diversity of the Islands' communities' stories.
\r\n\r\n
This staff report describes how the Toronto Island Master Plan's strategic enhancements, program ideas, and overall vision will advance. The recommendations will provide City staff and partners the authority and direction needed to implement the Toronto Island Master Plan over the next twenty-five years. The improvements proposed for Toronto Island Park include better access, information sharing and getting around, protecting the environment, visitor experience, interpretation, storytelling and programming, capital, and operational opportunities that will collectively transform the overall Island experience. Action is already underway on these improvements including enhancing the visitor experience at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, flood and erosion works, restoring Hanlan's Point beach and celebrating its 2SLGBTQ+ significance, procuring two new higher-capacity electric ferries in the near-term, and undertaking a review of the business opportunities for current and potential vendors and concession operators.
\r\n\r\n
Funding has been included in Parks, Forestry and Recreation’s 2024 - 2033 Capital Budget and Plan to ensure progressive implementation of the Toronto Island Master Plan. In the near term (see Attachment 3), there are several critical projects that should be achieved to further enhance the visitor experience and protect the Island’s ecosystem and infrastructure from flood risks. Over the long term, implementation will proceed incrementally as funding and opportunities arise, and as detailed design processes advance. Further engagement with Indigenous partners, Island stakeholders, and the public will be included in all projects as they proceed. Implementation will also require coordination with other projects and initiatives across the Central Waterfront, including the ongoing Marine Use Strategy and the Port Lands revitalization. Finally, opportunities to secure intergovernmental investment via grants and collaborations will be explored to accelerate implementation where feasible.
\r\n\r\n
Staff recommend advising Council on implementation progress with reports every five years over the course of the twenty-five-year horizon of the Toronto Island Master Plan.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"This is the first in a planned annual cycle of reporting on winter operations from the previous season and updating about improvements for the upcoming winter season. This is a new commitment that will provide better transparency on the Transportation Services Division's performance for winter operations and provide insights around operational efforts and efficiencies.
\r\n\r\n
This report provides the first Annual Winter Maintenance update for the 2023 - 2024 winter season and outlines improvements being planned for the 2024 - 2025 winter season operations, including pilot testing, training, improved contract administration, and community events.
\r\n\r\n
The final section of this report is an update on advancements to the Major Snow Event Response Plan, formerly known as the Extreme Winter Weather Plan. The Major Snow Event Response Plan addresses weather events which result in significant snow accumulation beyond what Toronto typically experiences. This accumulation creates obstructions in the right of way, primarily due to insufficient space to store the snow at roadsides and in boulevards. Storms of this magnitude have a much greater impact on the transportation infrastructure, and by extension on the public, and such events cannot be fully addressed within the Council-approved levels of service for a normal snowfall. The renaming to \"Major Snow Event Response Plan\" instead of \"Extreme Winter Weather Plan\" reflects that this plan does not address the full range of extreme winter weather (e.g. ice storms, flash flooding, etc.) which are more effectively addressed under Toronto Emergency Management's Extreme Winter Weather Coordination Plan.
\r\n\r\n
Developments on the Major Snow Event Response Plan includes a Vision, Guiding Principles, Prioritization Framework, updated processes to action the Framework, and a Communication Plan. This Plan will be a dynamic document, with review and updates after each new major snow event to iteratively drive continuous improvement. Next action items for staff will be to develop new priority route maps, assign updated snow removal operations for contractors and in-house staff, and create a formal communication plan to proactively inform the general public during a storm regarding timelines and removal operations.
\r\n\r\n
This report seeks approval to make amendments to the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, as it relates to \"major snow storm conditions\", including when they can be declared.
\r\n\r\n
In addition, the report requests City Council to amend the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 937, Temporary Closing of Highways, as well as City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 27, Council Procedures, in order to delegate to the General Manager, Transportation Services, the authority to temporarily close to vehicular traffic any highway or portion of highway to facilitate efficient snow removal operations. Any temporary road closures under this proposed delegated authority will be for up to and including 24 hours for each and any individual temporary closure between November 8 of one year and April 7, inclusive, of the following year.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Torontonians are proud of our City's extensive urban park system and the opportunities they create for leisure, recreation, learning, discovery, and social connection. Fundamentally, parks are for people.
\r\n\r\n
Increasingly, I’ve heard from my constituents and people from across Toronto that frequent and unpredictable vehicle usage in green areas of City parks has intruded on the enjoyment of our public parks. Motor vehicles cause damage to fields and turf, dominate pedestrian pathways that aren't designed for vehicles and can block accessible routes, and sometimes leave pedestrians and other vulnerable road users feeling unsafe.
\r\n\r\n
Chapter 608 of the Toronto Municipal Code provides wide latitude to the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation to permit the operation of motor vehicles within City parks, including corporate vehicles, agency vehicles, contractor vehicles, and vehicles related to event permits. While recognizing that staff sometimes must operate vehicles within park areas to perform work functions that keep our parks running, I’ve heard from my constituents that the operation and parking of vehicles in City parks has increased in recent years for reasons that don’t seem to connect to a specific work function.
\r\n\r\n
The below recommendations seek to review existing standard operating procedure for when vehicles should be permitted to operate and park in areas of City parks without formal road systems. Further, I recommend that Parks, Forestry and Recreation, together with Fleet Services, explore alternative vehicle and equipment types that would support the work of park operations while reducing the use of full-size motor vehicles in parks.
\r\n\r\n
Establishing this guidance for the operation of our parks will help us meet our TransformTO and Vision Zero goals. Together, let's ensure our parks remain welcoming, safe, and put people first.

This motion seeks to inquire about potential opportunities and available resources and assets that can be utilized to expand the HTO To Go Water Trailer Program.
\r\n\r\n
Access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental human right and essential for public health and well-being. The City of Toronto is committed to promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, including reducing the use of single-use plastic bottles. The HTO To Go Water Trailer, which provides tap water, free-of-charge, to select public events between May 1 and September 30th, has been successful in providing free, clean, and refreshing drinking water at various events and locations throughout the city, thereby reducing the need for single-use plastic bottles.
\r\n\r\n
There is a growing demand from residents, event organizers, and community groups for increased availability of HTO To Go Water Trailers at more events and locations across Toronto. As we experience higher temperatures each summer, particularly with many events being held outdoors, the need for accessible hydration becomes even more critical. Expanding the HTO To Go Water Trailer program would contribute to the City's environmental goals, promote public health, and support the City's efforts to provide equitable access to clean drinking water. Therefore, we request funding for additional HTO To Go Water Trailers to meet this increasing demand and continue supporting Toronto's commitment to sustainability and public health.

1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to report to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the feasibility of implementing a permanent barrier on the Leaside Bridge to improve public safety and mitigate suicide attempts.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"On June 16, 2024, a man fell from the Leaside Bridge and landed on an oncoming vehicle on the Don Valley Parkway resulting in a tragic accident, a passenger and the person who fell both succumbed to their injuries. The incident is currently under investigation by Toronto Police Service. Two lives were lost during this event that could have been mitigated by a protective barrier or railing along the bridge. Sadly, there are records of several similar suicide cases that have taken place at this bridge.
\r\n\r\n
In 2003, the City of Toronto originally erected barriers along the Bloor Viaduct, an unfortunately common site for suicide attempts. This action proved to be highly effective at discouraging and preventing people from jumping off the Bloor Viaduct. A study published in 2017 by Toronto Sunnybrook Hospital stated that between 2004 – 2014, only 1 person died after managing to circumvent the Bloor Viaduct barrier.
\r\n\r\n
In 2016, Toronto City Council adopted item MM18.4, which requested “the City Manager, in collaboration with the Medical Officer of Health, the General Manager, Transportation Services, the Toronto Police Services Board and mental health experts, to explore the effectiveness and feasibility of options to prevent suicide deaths from bridges in Toronto and to report back to the Executive Committee in 2017.”
\r\n\r\n
In 2018, Toronto Executive Committee received a report from the Medical Officer of Health which stated that “Transportation Services is planning to review the feasibility of implementing barriers and/or other interventions on priority bridge locations.”
\r\n\r\n
Further study on the Leaside Bridge and its surrounding infrastructure is necessary as a measure to improve public safety and mitigate further tragedies.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"People in our communities have contacted us with their concerns about rats in local neighbourhoods. Large rat populations have become an increasing challenge for a number of complex reasons. This is a multifaceted problem that requires collaboration across City divisions. We're proposing that an upstream prevention and action-focused plan is needed if we want to reduce the number of rats and their impacts on households and businesses in our local communities.
\r\n\r\n
Many other jurisdictions have tackled this issue before, like the Region of Peel’s Rat Prevention programs, Alberta’s Rat Control Plan, New York City's Rat Mitigation Zones, Ottawa's Rat Mitigation Working Group, Washington, DC's Rodent Control Program, and Chicago's Bureau of Rodent Control. There is an opportunity to learn from other cities who are experiencing the same local challenges we face and are implementing proven solutions to make a difference.
\r\n\r\n
As climate change, construction site management, infrastructure state-of-good-repair, solid waste management practices, property maintenance and many other factors accelerate the presence of rats in our neighbourhoods, we believe it's time for Toronto to take this step. With this purpose, we can leverage ongoing work and initiate new actions across City divisions to reduce rats and keep our neighbourhoods cleaner and healthier.

\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 Council adopt Official Plan Amendment 680 (OPA 680) which amends various Employment Area related policies to bring the Official Plan into alignment with the provincial definition of \"area of employment\" in the Planning Act, as amended by Bill 97 - Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act. This report also concludes the Council-directed study to consider expanding permitted uses in Employment Areas to include places of assembly, places of worship and sports facilities on a site or area-specific basis, given the provincial definition.
\r\n\r\n
On April 6, 2023, the Province introduced the Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act (\"Bill 97\"). Among many other changes, Bill 97 amends the definition of \"area of employment\" in the Planning Act by narrowing the scope of uses from what is currently permitted in an \"area of employment\". In particular, it would expressly exclude from the definition all types of institutional uses and commercial uses, except for retail and office uses that are associated with manufacturing, warehousing and research and development in connection with manufacturing.
\r\n\r\n
This is the second of two reports that respond to Planning Act changes as a result of Bill 97 and the resulting official plan amendments required to implement these changes. The first report resulted in City Council adopting OPA 668 to authorize the continuation of institutional and commercial uses expressly excluded by paragraph 2 of the amended definition of \"area of employment\" but which allowed uses to be transitioned by provisions introduced in the Planning Act by Bill 97.
\r\n\r\n
The purpose and intent of the recommended OPA 680 (together with OPA 668) is to maintain the integrity and viability of the City's finite Employment Areas, which would be at risk of destabilization should the City take no action. By aligning the Official Plan employment policies with the new definition of \"area of employment\" the current employment conversion policies will continue to apply, protecting the City's vital supply of employment areas.
\r\n\r\n
While Bill 97 received Royal Assent on June 8, 2023, the amended definition of \"area of employment\" has yet to be proclaimed into force. The Province has signalled that municipalities should make timely amendments to their Official Plan to ensure that it is aligned with the amended definition so that provincial policies related to the conversion and protection of employment areas still apply.

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 is the sixth in a series of Final Reports that provide staff recommendations on Employment Area conversion requests as part of the Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) of the Official Plan.
\r\n\r\n
In 2023, Toronto’s Employment Areas were home to over 21,900 establishments employing nearly 398,000 people (26% of all jobs in the city). Businesses within our Employment Areas create about 27% of the City’s estimated 2021 GDP of $195.7 billion and contribute about 12% of all property taxes paid in the City (municipal and education taxes). This report also highlights the social and economic role that Employment Areas play in the health and growth of the city supporting Toronto’s diverse economic base and providing jobs with living wages for the City’s diverse labour pool.
\r\n\r\n
Council authorized the commencement of the Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) and Growth Plan Conformity Exercise known as \"Our Plan Toronto\", on August 4, 2020. As part of the MCR City Planning received approximately 150 requests to convert lands designated Core Employment Areas or General Employment Areas in the Official Plan to non-employment uses, including some of which were City-initiated.
\r\n\r\n
The MCR and recommended Official Plan amendments are considered under Section 26 of the Planning Act, where the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing is the approval authority. The Minister’s decisions are not subject to appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal unless the Minister refers all or part of the amendments to the Tribunal.
\r\n\r\n
Through previous staff reports Council has considered final recommendations on almost all conversion requests submitted during the MCR, including 60+ requests that resulted in conversions of Employment Area lands. To implement the Council-adopted conversions, staff prepared and forwarded Official Plan Amendments (OPAs) 591, 644, 653 and 692 to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for approval. On December 12, 2023, the Minister approved OPA 591 for 30+ Council adopted conversion requests. To date, the City has yet to receive a decision on OPAs 644, 653, and 692. OPA 683, which implements a conversion request for East Harbour, was deferred at the June 13, 2024 Planning and Housing Committee, until such time as the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning reports back on further discussions with Cadillac Fairview and the Province on additional proposed changes to land use permissions at East Harbour, and by no later than the December 5, 2024 meeting of the Planning and Housing Committee and that no further notice of a special public meeting be given.
\r\n\r\n
This sixth report provides final recommendations on:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
This report is to be considered at a Special Public Meeting under Section 26 of the Planning Act regarding the City's phased Official Plan and Municipal Comprehensive Reviews.

\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":"The Housing Now Initiative is a signature affordable housing program in Toronto and across Canada. It is also a key housing supply program to support the City's HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan, Housing Action Plan 2022-2026, and City of Toronto’s Generational Transformation of Toronto’s Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes report. Through the Housing Now Initiative, City-owned lands are leveraged for the purpose of creating new mixed-use, mixed-income communities with maximized affordable housing outcomes.
\r\n\r\n
To-date, the City has identified 22 sites and committed substantial land value, capital funding and financial incentives to the program, making it one of the most significant municipal financial investments in housing underway today. There are also 4 additional pipeline sites that have been identified for pr-development due-diligence. The site at 777 Victoria Park Avenue was among the original sites included in the program.
\r\n\r\n
Like many of the Housing Now Sites, 777 Victoria Park Avenue experienced project slow downs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented escalation in construction costs, changes to federal and provincial housing policy, and steep increases in interest rates. As an example, construction costs have increased by over 63% (more than 20% year-over-year) since 2019, making Toronto the most expensive city in Canada to build high-rise residential.
\r\n\r\n
Recently, however, shifts in Toronto’s residential market, stable interest rates, and the introduction of new inter-governmental program and policy changes have resulted in a window of opportunity for the delivery of purpose built and affordable rental homes.
\r\n\r\n
The 777 Victoria Park site will include a range of rental homes, retail and community space at grade and a new purpose-built childcare facility. Importantly the land will remain in public ownership in perpetuity. Subject to Committee of Adjustment approval, the site will deliver 705 rental homes including:
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Similar to the Housing Now Initiative - 2023 Progress Update (April 13, 2023), this report makes a number of recommendations to City Council to help 'unstick' the Housing Now project at 777 Victoria Park Avenue to quickly realize a significant amount of new affordable rental homes.

The proponent selection and the negotiated agreements were approved by senior City management on April 20, 2021.
\r\n\r\n
Following execution of the Agreements in November 2021 by the City and the Proponent, the Proponent has been advancing the building design and site plan application for the relocation of the TTC Pick-up and Drop-off (\"PUDO\"), currently located at 777 Victoria Park Avenue, to 781 Victoria Park Avenue, located immediately north of the site. During this time, several economic factors have impacted the proponent's proposal and other Phase 1 Housing Now projects. CreateTO has been working with the Housing Secretariat and the Proponent to resolve these issues to advance project schedules and the delivery of affordable housing. On May 10, 2023, City Council adopted Item 2023.PH3.6, and approved an approach to advance the Housing Now projects at 50 Wilson and 5207 Dundas Street West. A similar approach is proposed for the Phase One Housing Now site at 777 Victoria Park Avenue. The factors and an approach to resolve these issues are outlined in Confidential Attachment 1.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends that the CreateTO Board of Directors approve the approach outlined in Confidential Attachment 1, which responds to the changes in the development and financing markets over the past two years and ensures the project's viability and delivery of 256 affordable housing units.
\r\n\r\n
The report also recommends that the Board of Directors of CreateTO direct the Chief Executive Officer, CreateTO to request the necessary City of Toronto authorities to execute amended Agreements and such other documents as may be necessary to finalize the arrangement with the proponent partners for 777 Victoria Park Avenue as described in Confidential Attachment 1.
\r\n\r\n
Subject to approval of this report, CreateTO will collaborate with City legal to make the amendments to the Agreements and prepare for execution of the documents.
\r\n\r\n
Pending minor variance and site plan approvals, the proponent's current schedule is to commence site mobilization and construction start in the first quarter of 2025

","financialImpactWep":"There are no direct financial implications associated with the recommendations contained in this report.
","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to respond to City Council direction that the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, in consultation with the Fire Chief and General Manager, Fire Services, engage a Building Code Consultant to study the feasibility of supporting a single means of exiting multi-residential buildings of up to four storeys, including additional life safety and other measures which would meet the objectives and intent of the Ontario Building Code.
\r\n\r\n
Exits are a fundamental and essential component of a building's fire and life safety system. Some designers and others have advocated that the Ontario Building Code threshold for requiring a second exit stair in small multi-unit residential buildings is too high compared to other jurisdictions in North America, Europe and around the world. They suggest that a single exit staircase would support innovation in the design and construction of higher density small multi-unit buildings on constrained sites in higher density urban areas resulting in more missing middle housing.
\r\n\r\n
Building regulators and emergency responders have identified that there are potential impacts on safety that need to be considered in developing Ontario Building Code changes in this area which are complex and significant. Any code changes to allow a single exit in a building need to be based on current research and take into consideration the impacts for both building occupants and first responders. Any potential changes must also provide an equivalent level of protection to that of a building having at least two means of egress, while also ensuring timely access to responding Firefighters and the deployment of the associated firefighting equipment into the building when a fire occurs.
\r\n\r\n
This report provides an overview of a technical study undertaken for the City of Toronto by a third-party Building Code Consultant with expertise in fire protection engineering, to consider the feasibility of an alternative solution to the single egress issue.
\r\n\r\n
As the Province of Ontario and the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes continue to consider potential changes to the provincial and national codes, the study will help provide certainty to designers and others preparing submissions to the city where a single exit is being considered and to expedite and facilitate the approval of missing middle projects in the City of Toronto. The report also contains recommendations to provide a copy of the report to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes to support research and code development in this area.
\r\n\r\n
This report has been written in consultation with Toronto Fire Services and City Planning.

\r\n\r\n
Summary from the report (June 5, 2024) from the Chief Executive Officer, CreateTO:
\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this report is to inform the Board of Directors of CreateTO of the ongoing discussions between CreateTO staff and the Toronto Lands Corporation (\"TLC\"), on behalf of the Toronto District School Board (\"TDSB\"), in respect of the opportunity to incorporate a public elementary school within the Housing Now development at 770 Don Mills Road.
\r\n\r\n
770 Don Mills Road (the \"Site\") is a Phase 1 Housing Now site located at the southwest corner of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East. The Site is located directly adjacent to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT Science Centre station, a future Ontario Line station, as well as directly north of the Ontario Science Centre. The Site is currently a 5.48 acre vacant surface parking lot.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed mixed-use, mixed-income development for the Site consists of three towers of 37-storeys, 48-storeys and 39-storeys in height and having a total of 1,254 residential units. It is proposed that 1/3 of the units will be affordable rental and 2/3 of the units will be market units.
\r\n\r\n
There will also be a new 62-space non-profit childcare, a new public park, new public road and new retail as part of the overall development. The TDSB elementary school will be located in the base podium of Block 2, the 39-storey residential tower (see Attachment 1).
\r\n\r\n
The Site obtained Re-zoning and Draft Plan of Subdivision approvals in June 2022 with no notice of appeal and is in full force and effect.
\r\n\r\n
The TDSB elementary school was contemplated as a use early in the re-zoning process and is incorporated as part of the approved zoned lands. As part of the Don Mills Crossing Secondary Plan, there is also a requirement for a minimum Floor Space Index (FSI) of 1.0 of non-residential uses within the base of mixed-use developments. By incorporating the elementary school into the development at 770 Don Mills, this assists in achieving this Secondary Plan policy.
\r\n\r\n
Subject to market conditions, the Site will be taken out for a market offering to seek a development partner in Q4 2024. Prior to bringing the Site to market, the deal terms with TLC need to be confirmed in order to provide clarity to developer proponents on what their role and responsibilities will be in delivering the elementary school as part of the overall proposed development.
\r\n\r\n
Providing for an elementary school at this location meets TLC/TDSB's strategic plan goals by providing for a much-needed school in this neighbourhood and will benefit students and the surrounding community.
\r\n\r\n
This partnership represents a great example of how two public agencies can work together to deliver on community benefits and achieve the goals of both organizations. This could also be a framework for future joint partnerships between TLC and the City of Toronto, whereby schools and residential developments can be delivered creatively together on public land

• A minimum of 770 residential units, inclusive of 350 seniors units (independent serviced, assisted living and memory care) supported by a grouping of medical support personnel; and 225 market rental units (of which 20%-30% are proposed to be affordable rental units for a period of 99 years).
This is a request for a Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) to permit this mixed-use development. As such, site plan approval would continue to be required to review the proposal against functional servicing, transportation, and other technical compliance requirements. Requiring site plan approval would enable City staff and the proponent to work collaboratively to resolve site specific details to ensure a successful implementation of the MZO.

","agendaItemSummary":"This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit an 11-storey mixed-use building (37.5 metres excluding a 5.0 metre mechanical penthouse) with 256 dwelling units and 209 underground parking spaces on three levels at 665, 667, 669 and 671 Sheppard Avenue West. The application proposes a total gross floor area of 16,980 square metres, including 154 square metres of retail GFA, resulting in a density of 6.0 times the lot area.
\r\n\r\n
The redevelopment proposal is in keeping with the objectives of the Sheppard West / Dublin Secondary Plan to encourage a diversity of commercial and residential uses along Sheppard Avenue West, while protecting the abutting lower density residential uses and improving the streetscape.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020).
\r\n\r\n
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law with a Holding (H) provision on the lands to ensure servicing infrastructure matters are adequately addressed. The proposed building is an appropriate scale for the site, will provide an appropriate transition to the abutting lower density neighbourhood to the south, and improves the Sheppard Avenue West streetscape.

This height increase would result in a total gross floor area of 73,305 m2, comprised of 71,992 m2 of residential gross floor area and 1,313 m2 of non-residential gross floor area at-grade. A total of 1,206 residential units are proposed, including 553 units in the west tower and 653 in the east tower. Vehicular and loading access to the development continues to be proposed from the future east-west private laneway along the north boundary of the site, connecting Henning Avenue and Duplex Avenue. Three (3) levels of underground parking are proposed, containing a total of 156 residential parking spaces and 14 visitor parking spaces. The revised buildings maintain the setbacks, stepbacks, commercial uses, and heritage retention of the previous approval.

This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law because the outstanding issues could not be resolved within the legislated timeline for a decision of 120 days.

","agendaItemSummary":"This application is requesting exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act for the lands municipally known as 2-56 Cather Crescent, also known as Phase 1Fa of the Lawrence Heights Revitalization Project (Attachment 4) (related Site Plan Application No: 17 277713 NNY 15 SA).
\r\n\r\n
The exemption request is to facilitate the creation of 32 parcels, of which 26 conveyable parcels are intended to become future Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) for 26 market townhouses and the other parts are to support a future Common Elements Condominium tenure through the approval of the Common Elements Condominium (23 131471 NNY 08 CD) application, and to facilitate the creation of various easements.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) and conforms to the Official Plan. The lifting of Part Lot Control is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands.
\r\n\r\n
A related Common Elements Condominium application has been submitted to create a common element condominium tenure over the lands consisting of a private rear lane driveway, pedestrian walkways, underground services, site furnishings and landscaping. The laneway and walkway will provide access to the garages and other common elements, being Parts 27 to 32 on the draft Reference Plan.

","agendaItemSummary":"This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit a seven-unit townhouse block fronting onto York Mills Road at 1 Sandfield Road. The proposed townhouse block would be three-storey (12.6 metres) in height with a total Gross Floor Area (\"GFA\") of 2,629 square metres resulting in a Floor Space Index (\"FSI\") of 1.57. Vehicular access would be provided from Sandfield Road. The existing detached dwelling fronting Sandfield Road would be demolished.
\r\n\r\n
To facilitate the proposed development, the applicant requested an amendment to the Neighbourhoods designation of the Official Plan. Through the review of the application, it was determined that an Official Plan Amendment is not required as townhouse built form occurs frequently along this stretch of York Mills Road. A Zoning By-law Amendment is still required in order to permit the proposed density on the lands and to establish appropriate performance standards to facilitate this development.
\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). The proposed development represents appropriate infill development that expands housing choices on a major street.
\r\n\r\n
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The recommend Zoning By-law includes a Holding (H) provision on the subject site to ensure that the infrastructure matters are identified and addressed. The proposed townhouse block represents an appropriate level of intensification on the site.

","agendaItemSummary":"This report responds to a motion passed at North York Community Council meeting on February 22, 2024, regarding a Decision Report - Refusal for the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications at 1800 Sheppard Avenue East. The motion referred the item back to the Director, Community Planning, North York District to enable the applicant to work with City staff to address comprehensive planning issues for the overall site and report back to the July 9, 2024 North York Community Council meeting.
\r\n\r\n
The Official Plan Amendment (OPA) proposes a multi-phased redevelopment of the existing 18.8 hectare site which conceptually envisions the site to redevelop with a total of 12 new buildings, with heights ranging from 18 to 52 storeys, 7,830 square metres of parkland dedication, a multi-use trail, new public and private streets, and a total of approximately 4,500 residential dwelling units at 1800 Sheppard Avenue East. A total of 309,000 square metres of residential gross floor area and 34,000 square metres of non-residential gross floor area are proposed for an overall total site density of approximately 2.44 times the area of the lot. The existing Fairview Mall will be retained. The proposed development is intended to occur in a phased manner (Phases 1-4) over a long planning horizon.
\r\n\r\n
A Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) application was also submitted as part of the Official Plan Amendment but only includes the lands identified for Phase 1. This application includes three mixed-use towers with heights of 38 storeys, 45 storeys and 52 storeys. The proposed 45- and 38-storey towers are proposed to be exclusively residential and would be located along the Sheppard Avenue East frontage. Phases 2 and 3 include the lands along the north side of the mall, south of Fairview Mall Drive. Phase 4 includes those lands that front onto Sheppard Avenue East, east of Parkway Forest Drive. These remaining phases are not subject to Zoning By-law Amendment applications at this time.
\r\n\r\n
Discussions with the applicant are advancing and staff continue to work with the applicant to resolve outstanding staff comments following which staff propose to report back to Community Council with updated recommendations.

The proposal contains 620 residential units and a gross floor area (\"GFA\") of 39,544.85 square metres, for an overall density of 17.1 times the area of the lot.
\r\n\r\n
The proposal 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 proposal does not conform to the City's Official Plan, or the Council-adopted Yonge Street North Secondary Plan, which represents Council's vision for the area.
\r\n\r\n
This Report reviews and recommends refusal of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application, particularly as it relates to the height of the proposal; the proposed building massing and intensity; and the impact of the proposal on adjacent properties in the existing and planned context which may prevent an orderly development of the block. The recommendation for refusal is also based on inadequate soil volumes; unconfirmed servicing capacity; non-compliance with the Toronto Green Standard; and a failure to provide adequate pedestrian connections, in the form of a mid-block connection, to support active transportation.
\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 property at 101 Mason Boulevard under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act. It also recommends that the City approve the demolition of a small garage building at the rear of the property under Section 34(1)2 of the Ontario Heritage Act. These approvals are being sought in conjunction with Site Plan Approval Application (22178545NNY08SA), which proposes a large side addition to allow for the school to expand.
\r\n\r\n
Located on the east side of Mason Boulevard south of Wilson Avenue and west of Yonge Street, the subject property contains Loretto Abbey, an institutional complex that was constructed in 1928. Additions were constructed to the north wing and the chapel in 1952. The subject property is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
\r\n\r\n
The development proposes a large addition to the north end of the heritage building. This would provide additional classroom and service uses to allow for the school to increase its capacity to 1,200 pupils. It has been designed to be visually compatible with, yet subordinate to, the existing built form and surrounding landscape. The existing E-shaped Abbey building will be retained in-situ. Some new windows are proposed while other window openings are proposed to be blocked in to accommodate the new addition. The scheme would include the removal of a small single storey room on the north side of the Abbey, the removal of the existing Infirmary and the demolition of a garage from the rear of the property. None of these are heritage attributes.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed alterations and the demolition of the detached garage conserve the heritage values and attributes of the Loretto Abbey complex consistent with the existing policy framework and the impact of the new development is being appropriately mitigated.

The estimated cost to implement the proposed improvements is approximately $1.6m with funding available in the TTC's Council Approved 2023-2032 Capital Budget.
","agendaItemSummary":"As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Wilson Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.
\r\n\r\n
Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to alter Wilson Avenue (northerly westbound lane) from the Wilson Station Entrance / Exit on Wilson Avenue to the east side of Faywood Boulevard and in front of the development (480 Wilson Avenue). This is proposed in order to extend an additional 100 metres to the existing reserved bus lane west of Wilson Heights Boulevard and would create a continuous queue-jump lane of 420 metres. The addition of this queue-jump lane would tie into the modifications made to the roadway in front of the development at 480 Wilson Avenue.
\r\n\r\n
This queue-jump lane would allow TTC buses to improve service reliability and travel time on Wilson Avenue by bypassing general traffic in the area. This would benefit approximately 370 daily bus trips and improve the journey times for approximately 62,000 daily customers. This proposal is supported by the City and TTC’s established criteria for queue-jump lane warrants.
\r\n\r\n
This queue-jump lane can be accommodated within the existing Wilson Avenue right-of-way by widening the roadway by up to 2.7 metres. All current lanes would remain including existing dedicated left-turn lanes. This queue-jump lane would also create a right-turn, buses-excepted lane westbound for right-turning vehicles at Wilson Heights Boulevard that did not exist previously. As per the City standard the queue-jump lane would be identified by a red paint application.

","financialImpactWep":"All costs associated with the proposed alterations westbound at the Steeles Avenue East at Townsend Road intersection will be the responsibility of the TTC. The estimated cost to implement the proposed improvements is $2.0 million with funding available in the TTC's Council Approved 2023-2032 Capital Budget.
","agendaItemSummary":"As TTC operates bus service on Steeles Avenue East, City Council approval of this report is required.
\r\n\r\n
Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to alter Steeles Avenue East (northerly westbound lane) from the Highway 404 southbound on-ramp to the east side of Don Mills Road. This is proposed in order to extend the existing reserved bus lane west of Townsend Road an additional 295 metres and would create a continuous queue jump lane of 500 metres.
\r\n\r\n
This queue-jump lane would allow TTC buses to improve service reliability and travel times on Steeles Avenue East by bypassing general traffic in the area. This will benefit approximately 240 daily bus-trips and improve the journey times for approximately 24,000 daily customers. This proposal is supported by the City and TTC’s established criteria for queue-jump lane warrants.
\r\n\r\n
This queue-jump lane can be accommodated within the existing Steeles Avenue East right-of-way by a minor widening of the roadway by up to 2.5 metres, adjusting the centre median width, and extending existing turn lanes. As per the City standard, the queue jump lane would be identified by a red paint application. Red paint would also be applied to the existing bus lane on Steeles Avenue East, west of Townsend Road to Don Mills Road.
\r\n\r\n
These modifications would not result in the loss of any travel lanes for general traffic. All current lanes would remain, including existing dedicated left-turn lanes. This queue-jump lane would also serve to extend the current westbound lane for right-turning vehicles at Townsend Road.
\r\n\r\n
Note that the designs for the queue jump lane are currently under review by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO). The current designs reflect MTO's first set of comments and the final design of the queue jump lane are being coordinated with MTO. Subject to Council's approval of the recommendations of this report, the proposed changes would only be implemented upon approval from the MTO.

\r\n\r\n
a. Addresses local needs including access to low cost, or possibly free community space;
\r\n
b. Involves the public and North York Community Council;
c. Explores key strategic priorities including economic development and innovation, culture, recreation, not-for-profits, and associated amenities;
d. Consults past work to inform short, medium and long term site and area plans, including the North York at the Centre Secondary Plan Review;
e. Generates revenue to support the ongoing State of Good Repair of the Civic Centre; and
f. Involves and explores conversations with North York Toronto District School Board Trustees to advance this Strategic Plan, as the North York Civic Centre and Toronto District School Board occupy adjacent properties.
With the rapidly growing population of North York and increasing vibrancy and programming at Mel Lastman Square we see a growing need for a community hub to strengthen civic engagement, community connectivity and economic development.
\r\n\r\n
Given the city's workplace modernization efforts with ModernTO, there is a great opportunity to reexamine how North York Civic Centre is used and to create a vision for an active community hub that meets the growing needs of our community. In particular, many not-for-profit organizations have struggled to find space for offices for the provision of services, in addition to programming space. As the city continues to target growth in Urban Growth Centres, these centres need to be better serviced with adequate community space.
This motion envisions a new vision for how North York Civic Centre can be used as an important hub to bring people together in our city.
North York Community Council recommends that:

","agendaItemSummary":"This report recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application to demolish a two-and-a-half storey rental apartment building comprised of eight rental dwelling units at 3291 Kingston Road. The units will be replaced with eight new rental dwelling units as part of the approved redevelopment of the site consisting of a 12-storey residential building with 357 dwelling units in addition to the replacement units.
\r\n\r\n
Two of the eight rental units at 3291 Kingston Road were previously demolished without permits and are recommended to be included in the Rental Housing Demolition permit and replaced as part of the application. The proposal also includes the provision of a Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan for all eligible tenants of the existing rental dwelling units, including the right to return to a replacement rental dwelling unit. The proposal also includes the demolition of two owner-occupied, single-detached houses at 2 and 4 Windy Ridge Drive.
\r\n\r\n
The properties are also the subject of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application (20 209863 ESC 20 OZ) which was appealed by the owner to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) in August 2022 due to a lack of decision from City Council. The Ontario Land Tribunal issued a written decision on November 10, 2023, approving the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment in principle, with the final order being withheld until all outstanding matters, including the necessary agreements with the City, are secured, including considerations related to rental housing matters.

","agendaItemSummary":"This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a residential infill development at 27 and 29 Parkcrest Drive. The proposed development consist of five blocks of stacked, back-to-back townhouse units. The proposed townhouse blocks are oriented along a shared private driveway from Parkcrest Drive and a central linear outdoor amenity space. Vehicular parking is provided in a one level underground parking garage.
\r\n\r\n
To facilitate the proposed development, the applicant requested an amendment to the Neighbourhoods designation of the Official Plan. Through the review of the application it was determined an Official Plan Amendment not required. Along this stretch of Kingston Road, townhouse built form occurs frequently as a transition between midrise development along the corridor and lower scale land uses within the Neighbourhoods. A zoning by-law amendment is still required in order to permit the proposed density on the lands and to establish appropriate performance standards to facilitate this development.
\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). As noted above it conforms with the Official Plan and provides an additional housing opportunity that fits within the existing and planned context.
\r\n\r\n
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law required to facilitate this development.

The proposed U-turn prohibitions and centre median extensions will address safety concerns and eliminate vehicle conflicts on McNicoll Avenue. Vehicles conducting U-turn around the centre medians on either side of Markham Road are creating unexpected and dangerous situations for motorist on McNicoll Avenue.

\r\n\r\n
Windmill Developments is constructing an 8-storey mixed-use building at 1161 Kingston Road. The site is located on the southeast corner of Kingston Road and Courcelette Road. The eastbound curb lane on Kingston Road and a portion of the northbound curb lane and east sidewalk on Courcelette Road are currently closed for construction staging operations. It should be noted that construction of the development is currently in progress, operating under a monthly Street Occupation Permit.
\r\n\r\n
Transportation Services is requesting authorization to legitimize the temporary closure of the south sidewalk and the eastbound curb lane on Kingston Road with a provision for a covered and protected walkway in the closed curb lane. In addition, authorization is being requested to close the east sidewalk and a portion of the northbound curb lane on Courcelette Road to accommodate construction staging operations.
\r\n\r\n
The developer has requested the subject construction staging areas for a period of 11 months, ending on June 30, 2025. As detailed in the body of the report, modifications to the existing construction staging area and signal timing modifications are planned in the upcoming weeks to address safety concerns and traffic congestion. Therefore, Transportation Services is only requesting a period of three months, from July 29 to October 15, 2024, to evaluate the effectiveness of the planned changes and determine if additional measures are required. A subsequent report will be submitted in October 2024 with these findings.

","agendaItemSummary":"As Toronto Transit Commission operates bus service on St. Clair Avenue East, City Council approval of this report is required.
\r\n\r\n
Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission, to alter St. Clair Avenue East between Midland Avenue and Linden Avenue to provide a westbound and eastbound queue jump lane for Toronto Transit Commission buses.
\r\n\r\n
The queue jump lanes would allow Toronto Transit Commission buses to improve service reliability and travel times on St. Clair Avenue East by bypassing general traffic in the area. This would benefit approximately 630 daily bus-trips (in both directions) and improve the journey times for 44,000 daily customers. This proposal is supported by the City and Toronto Transit Commission’s established criteria for queue-jump lane warrants.
\r\n\r\n
The eastbound and westbound queue-jump lanes on St. Clair Avenue East would be accommodated by implementing pavement marking adjustments and by converting a hatched area adjacent to the curb lane and adjusting adjacent travel lanes. No road or roadway widening is required. As per the City standard, the queue-jump lane would be identified by a red paint application.
\r\n\r\n
These modifications would not result in the loss of any travel lanes for general traffic. All current lanes would remain, including existing dedicated left-turn lanes at Linden Avenue and Midland Avenue.

The total value of City incentives recommended in this report is $2,756,599 (including the property tax exemption) reflecting an average City contribution of $98,448 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 charges, parkland dedication and property tax.
\r\n\r\n
The value of City incentives may fluctuate depending on the timing of development application, and may vary if some non-profit projects are determined to be eligible for exemptions for parkland dedication or development charges under the recent changes to the Development Charges Act, 1997 and the Planning Act as a result of Bill 23. This will be determined at a later stage of the development review process. Details of incentive values are provided in Table 1 below.

","agendaItemSummary":"This City-initiated application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 10-storey (35.5 metres in height inclusive of the mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building with 94 dwelling units and approximately 194 square metres of non-residential space and a one-storey (4.5 metres in height) rear ancillary building on the City-owned site located at 1113-1125 Dundas Street West. A minimum of 30% of the units are required to be affordable rental units, which means 28 affordable rental units will be provided through this development.
\r\n\r\n
The 10-storey building would be the first mass-timber building on a City-owned site, part of the Mass Timber Pilot Project that was adopted by Council in May 2022. This site is one of the five 'housing ready' sites identified in the \"Generational Transformation of Toronto's Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes\" report adopted by Council in November 2023.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020).
\r\n\r\n
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The proposed mixed-use building is an appropriate scale that fits with the existing and planned context of the surrounding area, provides additional market and affordable rental housing, and serves as a leading example of achieving environmental sustainability through the use of geothermal energy and mass timber construction.

","agendaItemSummary":"The application at 1266 Queen Street West proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to construct a 24 storey mixed use building with a 5 storey base building, containing 331 residential units. A total of 22,104 square metres of gross floor area is proposed, including 563 square metres of commercial space on the ground floor.

This report reviews and recommends refusal of the Official Plan Amendment (OPA) application and approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The OPA is proposed to be refused, as the redesignation has previously been reviewed and recommended for conversion through Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 653, that forms a part of the City's Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) and Growth Plan conformity exercise. The Minister is the approval authority for the MCR.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and will conform with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020), pending the Minister's decision on OPA 653. The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan.

The proposal is intended to be a mass-timber construction and staff's recommended modifications to the proposed development balances the need for additional housing in a form that appropriately responds to the existing and planned context and better supports performance measures of the Toronto Green Standard. The holding provision is proposed until such time as engineering and infrastructure matters and technical reports have been finalized to address servicing, noise impacts, and the lifting of a one foot reserve that bisects the site.

The development revitalizes a Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) site, including a 10-storey residential building (the “TCHC Building”), and a 17-storey and a 15-storey mixed-use building (the “Market Building”). Collectively, the development contains 771 residential units with a variety of housing tenures, including rent-geared-to-income, affordable rental, market rental, and condominiums.

On July 28, 2020, City Council enacted By-law 833-2020 exempting these lands from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act for a period of 4 years to facilitate the severance of the lands into various components to implement the necessary land transactions. This report reviews and recommends that exemption from Park Lot Control be extended for an additional 2 years for the “Market Site”, consisting of the Market Condominium parcel; the Market Rental parcel, the Retail parcel; and the City parcel (which includes 6 townhouse units and 26 rental units on Levels 1 and 3 and components of the shared facilities) to allow for the completion of the project and associated transactions.

The designated heritage building at 505 University Avenue would be demolished, with some of its materials re-used in the construction of a new podium.
\r\n\r\n
On October 25, 2023, the applicant appealed the Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) due to Council not making a decision within the time frame in the Planning Act.
\r\n\r\n
On February 23, 2024, an Official Plan Amendment application was submitted to not require the replacement of the existing non-residential gross floor area in the proposed development as required by the Downtown Plan. The related Zoning By-law Amendment application was not updated or revised to remove the proposed non-residential gross floor area for office uses.

On May 10, 2023 City Council stated its intention to designate the subject property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

\r\n\r\n
Located on the south side of Elm Street between Yonge Street and Bay Street, the property at 15 Elm Street contains a 2-storey house-form building completed prior to 1868. The Georgian Revival style property represents a rare surviving example of a
\r\nConfederation-era house-form building and is part of a broader collection of 19th century dwellings adapted at street level in the early-20th century to accommodate commercial storefronts. This residential/commercial mixed-use typology continues to define the south side of Elm Street between Yonge and Bay streets within the City's historic St. John's Ward (\"The Ward\") neighbourhood and represents the uniqueness of Elm Street as a destination for locals and visitors alike.
\r\n\r\n
A heritage permit application under Section 34(1)2 of the Act has been submitted to demolish this building to allow for the construction of a new 30 storey mixed-use building at 15-17 Elm Street. This application is associated with Zoning By-law Amendment application 22 202864 STE 11 OZ and Site Plan application 22 202863 STE11 SA for the properties at 15-17 Elm Street. The Zoning By-law Amendment application is also currently under appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal.

Under the Act, if City Council fails to make a decision on the heritage permit application within 90 days of issuing a notice of a complete application, the application is deemed to be permitted under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act. In this case the applicant must be notified of Council's decision by September 15, 2024.

The proposal involves the construction of a new 32-storey mixed-use development with retail uses at grade and residential uses in the upper storeys. The Stephen Murphy Houses and Store will be altered and rehabilitated for commercial uses while the Robert Kidney Houses will be conserved for residential uses.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"At its meeting on July 4, 2024 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB20.2 and made recommendations to City Council.
\r\n
This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations under Part V Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act proposed for the heritage property at 20 Front Street West (with an entrance address of 22 Front Street West) in connection with the redevelopment of the site. Located within the Union Station Heritage Conservation District which is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, the property contains the Gowns-Kent Building, an eight-storey Classically influenced commercial building which was constructed in 1923. The property is also designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and subject to a Heritage Easement Agreement which requires amendment in connection with approval of the proposal.
\r\n
The proposal involves the construction of a new 52-storey tower for residential and retail uses and incorporates the south (Front Street) façade into a new base building. The upper portion of the south wall will be demolished to allow for construction access and subsequently reconstructed while the lower portion will be conserved in situ with select alterations.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed alterations conserve the majority of the heritage attributes of the property and the Union Station HCD, and the impact of the new development is sufficiently mitigated to be consistent with the existing policy framework.

For example, building residents with mobility disabilities report that their Wheel-Trans service often cannot stop at 350 Bloor Street East to pick them up or let them off, and must instead stop at nearby properties. They report that this severely compromises their ability to use the service.
\r\n\r\n
In addition, existing parking spaces obstruct sightlines for drivers entering and exiting the driveway, creating hazards for those walking or cycling past the building. Deliveries of all kinds are also hampered by the absence of a dedicated loading zone.
\r\n\r\n
This letter would reduce vehicle parking and convert space directly in front of the lobby into a badly needed Wheel-Trans accessible loading zone. This change is supported by the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, will improve access to WheelTrans, will reduce conflicts between delivery vehicles and general traffic, and will improve safety for pedestrians on the sidewalk and cyclists in the bike lane.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Due to the temporary closure of the 510 Spadina streetcar right of way required for capital upgrades, Transportation Services on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is looking at ways to support its replacement bus operations, specifically in the southbound direction on Spadina Avenue south of Queen Street West where the bus service experiences significant congestion. Travel times for the Spadina route have tripled since the initiation of the replacement bus service on June 23, 2024. Measures such as the deployment of traffic agents at key intersections and the turning around of buses at Front Street have already been implemented. To support bus operations further, Transportation Services and TTC are proposing the temporary removal of on-street parking and a taxi stand on the west side of Spadina Avenue between Richmond Street West and Front Street West to enable the installation of a temporary priority bus lane within the southbound curb lane between Richmond Street West and Lake Shore Boulevard West. Two southbound traffic lanes for general traffic will be maintained on Spadina Avenue between Richmond Street West and Lake Shore Boulevard West. These proposed temporary parking and traffic amendments are intended to remain in place until the 510 Spadina streetcar right-of-way is projected to reopen in January 2025.
\r\n\r\n
Transportation Services has consulted with Toronto Parking Authority (TPA), who assessed that the financial impact of lost revenue and operating expenses will be approximately $162,300.88 (pre-HST) for the period of July to December 2024.
\r\n\r\n
The estimated cost to implement/remove the parking amendments and temporary priority bus lane is $78,586 (pre-HST), which will be funded from the TTC’s 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan.
\r\n\r\n
This letter is urgent as it enacts measures which are required to improve transit service reliability during temporary construction works.

While the City of Toronto has taken significant steps to address the crisis -- including making record financial investments, implementing a wide range of new policies, programs and initiatives, and improving its processes and administrative structure -- continued urgent action is needed.
\r\n\r\n
In recognition of the need for heightened action to improve housing outcomes for residents, in September 2023, City Council adopted Item EX7.2 - \"Urgently Building More Affordable Homes\", and directed the Deputy City Manager, Development and Growth Services, among other things, to create a plan, implementation framework and timeline to achieve 25,000 new rent-controlled homes, in addition to the City's previous HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (HousingTO Plan) target of 40,000 affordable rental homes.
\r\n\r\n
In November 2023, City Council approved Item EX9.3 – “Generational Transformation of Toronto’s Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes\" which set a new housing target of 65,000 rent-controlled homes, including a minimum of 41,000 affordable rental homes and 6,500 rent-geared-to-income (RGI) homes, and 17,500 rent-controlled market homes to be approved by 2030. That report also identified a suite of City actions and initiatives required to meet this target and better address the housing needs of low, moderate- and middle-income households.
\r\n\r\n
City Council also requested staff to report back with:
\r\nThis report responds to Council's requests and provides an update on the City's efforts and actions to advance its ambitious plan to transform Toronto's housing system. In particular, the report includes information on progress made to-date to accelerate the delivery housing projects, including progress on the five Public Developer sites, some of which are expected to start construction by late 2024. The report also articulates the City's two main 'Public Developer' delivery models, being, 1) partnership with non-profit, Indigenous, co-op and private developers to develop sites, and 2) City as project manager working with consultant teams to deliver sites.

Summary from the report (June 27, 2024) From the City Clerk:
The Corporations Nominating Panel will conduct interviews and recommend one candidate to City Council for appointment to the Toronto Community Housing Corporation Board of Directors.
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer recommends that:
\r\n\r\n
1. City Council appoint the Controller and Chief Accountant, Jason Li to the statutory office of Deputy Treasurer of the City of Toronto, for the purposes of section 138 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, effective the latter of August 26th, 2024 or such date when the candidate enters into the employment contract for the position of Controller and Chief Accountant.
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council appoint the Executive Director, Finance Shared Services, David McIsaac, to the statutory office of Deputy Treasurer of the City of Toronto, for the purposes of section 138 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
\r\n\r\n
3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary by-laws to give effect to City Council’s decision.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to recommend that City Council grant the Controller and Chief Accountant the powers and duties of a Deputy Treasurer, with the new Controller and Chief Accountant, Jason Li, commencing employment with the City of Toronto on August 26, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
The appointment of the Controller and Chief Accountant position is within the City Manager’s authority and in turn, this report is solely requesting Council authority to appoint the new Controller and Chief Accountant as a Deputy Treasurer. As is the case with all executive recruitments, the selection process for the position of the Controller and Chief Accountant was thorough, comprehensive, open, fair and objective.
\r\n\r\n
The City of Toronto Act, 2006, enables City Council to appoint one or more deputy treasurers and to ensure adequate coverage for essential financial sign-off responsibilities; this report also recommends that City Council grant the Executive Director, Finance Shared Services the powers and duties of a Deputy Treasurer. This approach will provide added operational flexibility and also ensure financial authorities align with the roles and responsibilities of both the Controller and Chief Accountant and the Executive Director, Finance Shared Services.
\r\n\r\n
David McIsaac, the Executive Director, Finance Shared Services has been employed with the City since 2023 and is also the current Interim Controller until the commencement of Jason Li’s employment.

","agendaItemSummary":"
On June 23, 2022, an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted seeking permission for a mixed-use development that includes the retention of the existing 16-storey heritage building proposed for office and retail uses, with a 35-storey addition above proposed for residential uses, for a total of 51 storeys.
\r\n\r\n
On September 8, 2022, a Site Plan Control application was submitted. On December 13, 2022, the applicant appealed these applications to the Ontario Land Tribunal due to Council's failure to make a decision within the time frames prescribed by the Planning Act.
\r\n\r\n
City Council subsequently designated the existing building on site under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act through the adoption of By-law 744-2023. The applicant made application to permit alteration and demolition of portions of the designated property, which City Council refused and has been appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal.
\r\n\r\n
Following six (6) days of mediation the applicant submitted a With Prejudice Settlement Offer on June 20, 2024. The details of this offer are set out in this report as Public Attachment 1 and Public Attachment 2. The City Solicitor requires further direction for the upcoming Ontario Land Tribunal hearing relating to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment appeals.

This report should be considered along with a confidential report from the City Solicitor dated June 21, 2024, to the Toronto Preservation Board that discusses the heritage conservation strategy of the Settlement Offer (Item PB20.5), which has been forwarded to City Council for consideration at its meeting of July 24, 25, and 26, 2024:

1. City Council withdraw its intention to amend By-law 606-2018, which designated the property at 64 Woodlawn Avenue West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, pursuant to Section 30.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"This report recommends that City Council withdraw the proposed Amendment to Designating By-law under Part IV, Section 30.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act for 64 Woodlawn Avenue West and that the original Designation By-law 606-2018 and the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Designation) - 64 Woodlawn Avenue West remain unamended.
\r\n\r\n
City Council proposed to amend the Reasons for Designation to remove references to Robert Stapleton Pitt Caldecott. The City received an objection by nineteen claimed descendants of Caldecott to the Proposed Amendment to Designation By-law 606-2018 within the statutory timeline. The Notice of Objection dated May 22, 2024, is included as Attachment 1 to this report.
\r\n\r\n
The designated property at 64 Woodlawn Avenue West contains a 2½-storey detached house form building that is located on the north side of the street, west of Yonge Street, east of Avenue Road, and south of St Clair Avenue West. Constructed in 1906, the dwelling on the subject property was designed by the notable Toronto architect, Eden Smith, for Robert Stapleton Pitt Caldecott and his wife, Emma Arnold Caldecott, in a subdivision of the former “Woodlawn” estate.
\r\n\r\n
On January 25, 2024, the City Clerk received a Notice of the Application to Repeal the Designating By-law 606-2018 for the property known municipally as 64 Woodlawn Avenue West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18 under Section 32 of the Ontario Heritage Act, from the property owner.
\r\n\r\n
On April 17 and 18, 2024, City Council refused the application, by adopting item PH11.14- 64 Woodlawn Avenue West - Refusal of Repeal of Designating By-law under Section 32 of the Ontario Heritage Act and Proposed Amendment to Designating By-law under Part IV, Section 30.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
\r\n\r\n
The property owner did not appeal City Council's decision to refuse the application to repeal the designation by-law under section 32 of the Ontario Heritage Act within 30-days of the Notice of Decision of April 24, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
Staff remained of the opinion that the property should continue to be designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act as the property meets 4 of the 9 of the Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria that is prescribed for municipal designation. On April 24, 2024, the City Clerk issued the Notice of Proposed Amendment to Designation By-law 606-2018 to amend the legal description, to clarify the Reasons for Designation and to amend the Statement of Cultural Heritage Value pursuant to Section 30.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Public Notice can be found at: Public Notice – City of Toronto
\r\n\r\n
Upon review of the new and relevant information, City staff have determined the original by-law accurately captures the cultural heritage value of the subject property and for its associative value with its original owner, Robert Stapleton Pitt Caldecott (1836-1907), who commissioned architect, Eden Smith, to design the house.

City Council has until August 22, 2024, 90-days from the end of the objection period, to make a decision on this objection as per the timeline under the Ontario Heritage Act.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The surge in auto theft and home invasions are significantly impacting our neighbourhoods across Canada. Residents are going to bed worrying what they won’t find when waking up- and often fear that their families will be victimized by home invasions. Many believe auto thieves have the upper hand and that this issue isn’t being taken seriously enough.
\r\n\r\n
According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, auto theft costs Ontarians hundreds of millions in insurance claims and premiums per year. This doesn’t include court, policing, legal, and out-of pocket costs, such as deductibles. Toronto continues to top the list of Ontario cities when it comes to the total value of auto theft claims.
\r\n\r\n
Canada’s technology standards for vehicles haven’t been updated by the Government of Canada since 2008. All vehicle manufacturers should be mandated to heighten the technology and security features in vehicles.
\r\n\r\n
While increased measures has been taken at the Port of Montreal, there has been a significant increase of illegal activity at the Port of Halifax. More resources need to be allocated to all Canadian ports to accelerate the screening process of all outgoing items.
\r\n\r\n
Re-vinning stolen vehicles has been a major play in criminals’ playbooks. Removing the ability to register a vehicle on another’s behalf without power of attorney will restrict criminals from being able to fly under the radar.
\r\n\r\n
Registering a vehicle using the New Vehicle Information Statement is another way to create Vehicle Identification Numbers. Restricting access from the public and granting access only to licensed dealers will, once again, deter criminals from being overlooked.
\r\n\r\n
More action needs to be taken to curb auto theft and support safety in our neighbourhoods.

1. City Council increase the 2024 Operating Budget for Non-Program on a one-time basis by $600,000 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 community benefits obtained from the development at 1-11 Bloor Street West, 768-784 Yonge Street, and 760-762 Yonge Street (Source Account: XR3026-3701060) secured for capital improvements for new or existing cultural and/or community space, to be utilized for the construction and fit out of a theatre, office and rehearsal space at City-owned 877 Yonge Street (Cost Centre: NP2161).
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council direct that the $600,000 be forwarded to St. Clare’s Multifaith Housing Society for construction of a theatre, office and rehearsal space at 877 Yonge Street, upon the signing of an Undertaking by St. Clare’s Multifaith Housing Society to govern the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements, on the same terms as for the original $1.25 million.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Nightwood Theatre and Tapestry Opera have jointly agreed to lease the sub-basement of City-owned 877 Yonge Street to become their new theatre, office and rehearsal space. The sub-basement requires substantial renovation to be turned into a community theatre, rehearsal studio, and offices, and to be made wheelchair accessible. The space will be shared with other community performing arts groups and used not only for performances to the broader community, but also for workshops involving performing artists, students, and residents of 877 Yonge St.
\r\n\r\n
The Nightwood Theatre and Tapestry Opera operated for many years out of a theatre, office and rehearsal space in the Distillery District. Dozens of other performing artists and arts groups also used these facilities for rehearsals and performances.
\r\n\r\n
The pandemic was brutally difficult for all performing artists and arts groups, including the Nightwood Theatre and Tapestry Opera. In addition, the Distillery District closed the theatre on which they depended and converted it to other uses. They have therefore been searching the city for replacement facilities that they can afford, with little success.
\r\n\r\n
877 Yonge Street is owned by the City of Toronto, and is used primarily to provide supportive housing to disabled and other tenants. The City has contracted with St. Clare’s Multifaith Housing Society to manage the building. St. Clare’s welcomes the opportunity to add a community cultural facility to the building. Among other things, this helps to build a stronger, more positive relationship between St. Clare’s, its supportive housing tenants, and the surrounding community.
\r\n\r\n
The developer of 208 Bloor Street West agreed to contribute $500,000 to fit out the performance room (auditorium) as part of its in-kind Community Benefits; this was approved by Council in March, 2023. Council also approved $1.25 million in s. 37 funds from 1 Bloor Street West, earmarked for community or cultural space, to renovate the rest of the space and to make it wheel-chair accessible. The project has earned the strong support of both neighbourhood residents’ associations, ABC Residents Association and the Greater Yorkville Residents’ Association, and is important to Toronto’s performing arts community.
\r\n\r\n
Unfortunately, due to the collapse of the condo market, development of 208 Bloor Street West has been indefinitely delayed, as has payment of the associated Community Benefits. The renovation of 877 Yonge is well underway, and the theatre companies have commitments to commence performances in January of 2025. Accordingly, the ward Councillor proposes to reallocate the Community Benefits from 208 Bloor, and to make up the missing funds with additional s. 37 funds in hand from 1 Bloor Street West.

4. City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to work with the Owner to make best efforts to identify a suitable off-site parkland dedication to be conveyed to the City to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation.
\r\n\r\n
a. if the Owner acquires an off-site parkland dedication satisfactory to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, the parkland dedication is to be conveyed according to the following conditions, with any remaining balance pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act to be provided as a cash-in-lieu payment to the City:

i. the off-site parkland dedication shall be conveyed to the City prior to the issuance of the first above-grade building permit, subject to the conveyance being free and clear, above and below-grade, of all easements, encumbrances, and encroachments, in an acceptable environmental condition and in base park condition, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the City Solicitor;
\r\n\r\n
ii. for the purposes of determining whether any remaining cash-in-lieu is payable:
\r\n\r\n
1. the total value of the off-site parkland dedication would include the purchase, real estate commissions of up to five percent, land transfer tax, and typical closing adjustments incurred, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation; and
\r\n\r\n
2. the total value of the off-site parkland dedication based on the items outlined above are subject to indexing based on the Construction Price Index between the date the parkland is conveyed to the City and the issuance of the first Above-Grade Building Permit for the development.
\r\n\r\n
b. City Council approve that should the parkland dedication requirement not be able to be satisfied through a suitable off-site parkland dedication, the Owner is required to satisfy the parkland dedication requirement through cash-in-lieu, with payment to be made prior to the issuance of the first above-ground building permit for the land to be developed.

c. City Council approve a development charge credit against the Parks and Recreation component of the Development Charges for the design and construction by the Owner of the Above Base Park Improvements to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation; the development charge credit shall be in an amount that is the lesser of the cost to the Owner of designing and constructing the Above Base Park Improvements, as approved by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and the Parks and Recreation component of development charges payable for the development in accordance with the City's Development Charges By-law, as may be amended from time to time.

The Confidential Instructions did not contain the correct recommendations from Parks, Forestry and Recreation regarding the satisfaction of the parkland dedication requirement pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act.

Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff are seeking City Council authority to replace Part 4 in Item 2024.CC18.7 with the correct recommendations for an off-site parkland dedication. The direction for an off-site parkland dedication is consistent with the Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff’s memo dated January 4, 2023, as referenced in the applicant’s settlement letter.
\r\n\r\n
The pursuit of an off-site dedication of parkland will support the significant ongoing work in the Yonge-Eglinton neighbourhood to expand existing the public open space network.

City Council authority is necessary to facilitate the off-site acquisition of a property, should an opportunity arise.

\r\n(Cost Centre: HG0001).
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Glenn Gould is one of the most internationally revered Canadians ever. His 1955 Goldberg Variations is the best-selling classical piano record of all time. In addition to his more than 80 highly influential albums, there are 85 books in a dozen languages, more than 20 feature films, as well as plays, ballets, pop songs, and literally thousands of articles about Glenn Gould.
Glenn Gould’s significance extends far beyond the realm of classical Music. Gould remains an international icon of creative innovation who, along with Marshall McLuhan, predicted and embraced the transformative impact of technology. He was Canada’s first cultural diplomat - the first Western artist to perform in the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War (1957).
City Council has previously proclaimed September 25th as Glenn Gould day, and the City has worked in close collaboration with The Glenn Gould Foundation, based in Toronto, to advance the legacy of this important musician and Canadian. Gould lived at 110 St. Clair Ave. West for much of his adult life. Unfortunately, the Heritage Plaque at this address commemorating the life and legacy of Glenn Gould recently went missing.

Yet a major demographic of residents is currently prevented from using Bike Share. Only Torontonians aged 18 and older are allowed to use Bike Share by themselves, with 16- and 17-year-olds requiring parental supervision and younger riders being banned outright. While the Toronto Parking Authority has reports that they do not enforce these age limits, formally eliminating them will ensure young people can use Bike Share to get around with confidence.
\r\n\r\n
Allowing access to Bike Share while users are young is a key step in building a healthy, life-long habit of cycling. Adopting this motion would put Toronto among other world-class cities in encouraging young people to use Bike Share.

The applicant has since proposed further revised plans dated July 2, 2024 (the “Settlement Plans”) in an attempt to resolve outstanding issues with the other parties to the matter. City Planning staff have reviewed the Settlement Plans and are of the opinion that the proposed development reflected therein remains appropriate for the site.
\r\n\r\n
The Settlement Plans propose a 5.5-metre setback from the building immediately to the south of the subject site at the third level, such that within this 5.5-meter setback, the proposed development will only be two storeys in height. The applicant made this change to their proposal to address the concerns of the owner of the neighbouring site immediately to the south.
\r\n\r\n
City Planning staff are of the opinion that the revised design of the base building is appropriate, as it provides a generally consistent and continuous streetwall along Yonge Street, and fits within the existing and planned context. The Settlement Plans result in a modest decrease in the amount of outdoor amenity space previously proposed, but the amount of outdoor amenity space currently proposed remains acceptable.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"This Motion seeks authority to provide an exemption to the requirement that any property interest granted pursuant to authority delegated pursuant to Chapter 213 of the Municipal Code reflect fair market value.
\r\n\r\n
Since the other terms and conditions are under negotiation, authority to enter into the limiting distance agreement will be secured through the authority delegated pursuant to Chapters 213 and 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code.
\r\n\r\n
The development at 128 Havelock Street is an affordable housing project by the Neighbourhood Land Trust in partnership with YWCA Toronto, which will operate the units. City Council, at its meeting on December 13, 2023 (2023.PH8.10), authorized Open Door Incentives to be provided for the development of 10 affordable units at 128 Havelock Street. The Housing Secretariat and City Legal are drafting a Contribution Agreement to secure the value of the Open Door incentives. If City Council approves the exemption to the fair market value requirement for this Limiting Distance Agreement, the value will be secured through the Contribution Agreement.
\r\n\r\n
The Neighbourhood Land Trust has secured the necessary zoning approvals and has now submitted a building permit application for the project. The Limiting Distance Agreement is an option under the Ontario Building Code if the project cannot satisfy the alternative, which involves the addition of various fire mitigation measures on the north side of the building, including fire shutters, at a significant cost to the project owner, Neighbourhood Land Trust, a registered charity with limited capacity to take on debt. The proposed exemption for this affordable housing project is a matter of financial viability.
\r\n\r\n
The City of Toronto provides various financial and non-financial support for developing new affordable housing. This project is approved under the Open Door Affordable Housing Program, which did not include an exemption for fees for real estate agreements. The Rental Housing Supply Program, approved by Council on June 26, 2024 (2024.PH13.8), also does not include the exemption of fees and charges for real estate agreements.

3. City Council request the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, in consultation with the General Manager, Toronto Water and the Executive Director, Environment and Climate, through the planned consultations and development of a commercial parking levy, to assess opportunities to mitigate and adapt to stormwater runoff from large-scale industrial, commercial and institutional property paved surfaces.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"As a result of climate change, Toronto is experiencing more frequent and severe storms, resulting in flooding events that impact our road and transit network, our homes and businesses, and our infrastructure. While the City must invest in meeting our emissions reduction goals, we must also invest in mitigating the impacts of climate change and making our city more resilient.
\r\n\r\n
In April 2024, City Council directed staff to better integrate climate resilience across all City of Toronto operations, and to identify a list of climate resilience priorities for investment. While this work is underway, we know that flood mitigation and adaptation will be a critical component to our City’s resilience strategy.
\r\n\r\n
The City currently offers a Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program to help people install backwater valves and sump pumps, as well as free front-yard trees and subsidized backyard trees. In the past, the City offered low-cost rain barrels at Community Environment Days as part of the Voluntary Downspout Disconnection Program. This was discontinued over a decade ago. Investments in programs that help reduce paved areas, create more permeable surfaces, and increase groundwater absorption will help avoid floods. This helps people save money on clean up, save people’s homes and basements from costly floods, and reduce pressure on the public infrastructure we all rely on.
\r\n\r\n
While the City consults on broader stormwater mitigation policies that aim to reduce large-scale industrial, commercial and institutional paved surfaces that lead to flooding, it is essential that the City also hear from people across Toronto about how we can support homeowners, multi-residential property owners, and businesses in investing in green infrastructure and flood mitigation.
\r\n\r\n
This motion asks staff to take stock of what stormwater mitigation programs we offer people, evaluate the success of past and present programs, and identify how we can offer more to help homeowners and businesses avoid costly floods.

The staging area required to build Block F safely also landlocks two blocks on the same site (Blocks A and B).

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"In October 2022, the Provincial Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) introduced several changes to the Development Charges Act (DCA) and Planning Act, including a mandatory exemption from development charges and exclusions from the community benefits charge and parkland dedication for affordable residential units (collectively referred to as “exemptions” for the purposes of this motion).
\r\n\r\n
The definition of “affordable” was updated by the Province in December 2023 through Bill 134, Affordable Homes Good Jobs Act, to include an income-based approach, in addition to a market-based threshold, that is to be used to determine eligibility for an exemption.
\r\n\r\n
As was previously reported to City Council in May 2024 (Item PH12.7), the statutory exemptions came into force on June 1, 2024 and it applies to both rental and ownership units that meet the definitions set out in the Development Charges Act. The definitions are as follows:
\r\n\r\n
Affordable Residential Units – Rental
\r\nAffordable Residential Units – Ownership
\r\n\r\n
On May 1, 2024, the Province published the Affordable Residential Unit Bulletin that sets out the affordable rents and ownership purchase prices for units that would qualify for the exemption. This bulletin is amended by the Province from time to time.
\r\n\r\n
Under the Development Charges Act, landowners must enter into an agreement with municipalities that requires the unit(s) to be an affordable residential unit(s) for at least 25 years, in order to be eligible for this exemption. The City has previously indicated that while financial incentives for affordable units are supported in principle, the Province should provide direct incentives instead of reductions to municipal growth funding tools which are needed to ensure services necessary to support housing can be provided in a fiscally sustainable way. If incentives remain, that units should remain affordable for a longer duration (50 years), that incentives be required to be repaid with interest should units not remain affordable over the affordability period, and that the Province make the City whole with respect to the impacts (PH12.7).
\r\n\r\n
The Development Charges Act sets out basic terms and conditions in connection with the exemption and authorizes aforementioned agreements to be registered on title to land and to be binding on all subsequent owners of the land. The Development Charges Act also provides that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing may establish standard forms of agreement that must be used for this purpose, but to date standard forms have not been prescribed.
\r\n\r\n
The City of Toronto is required to comply with the Development Charges Act and therefore must provide DC exemptions to eligible properties. City staff have been working to develop an approach to manage Development Charges Act agreements, including roles and responsibilities, processes, additional legal requirements, technology and resource requirements, and other considerations. Additional time is required to finalize this approach. On an interim basis, this motion is required to ensure appropriate authorities are in place for City officials during the Council recess should a landowner request an exemption under the Development Charges Act, and while a long-term approach is identified including any authorities required. The recommendations provide authority to staff to execute agreements pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Development Charges Act based on the terms and conditions set out in the recommendations.
\r\n\r\n
This motion is urgent to ensure appropriate authorities are in place for City officials prior to the Council summer recess. It will ensure there is no delay in entering into agreements in support of providing affordable residential units, should a landowner be eligible for a statutory exemption of growth-related funding tools.

\r\n
2. City Council direct the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, to work with the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, and the General Manager, Toronto Shelter and Support Services, to:
\r\n
a. provide clarity on the application of the City of Toronto’s Multi-Tenant Housing Framework and associated requirements to refugee houses, wherein temporary housing and services are provided by a registered charity, non-profit housing provider or co-operative housing provider; and
\r\n\r\n
b. develop a public document or bulletin outlining this application as soon as possible.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The Council-adopted 2023 Housing Action Plan legalized A New Regulatory Framework for Multi-Tenant Houses. Through this Report, Council directed Staff to provide exemptions from certain City fees and charges for Multi-Tenant Houses. An exemption was not advanced for the parkland dedication requirement, under Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 415-30 (A).
\r\n\r\n
‘Dwelling Rooms within a rooming house’ are currently exempted for Development Charges under Chapter 415-6 (B) of the Municipal Code. An amendment to the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement will provide consistency across the different growth funding tools for this form of housing. This motion seeks authority for Parks, Forestry and Recreation, Municipal Licensing and Standards, City Solicitor and the Chief Financial Officer to amend the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement for Dwelling Rooms and to make additional changes to improve readability and clarity of the current exemptions.
\r\n\r\n
Additionally, the Multi-Tenant Housing Framework includes several types of accommodation that are fully exempt from the Framework requirements, including student housing, hotels, and City-funded or operated shelters. For refugee house providers, that operate housing programs with a time-limited or transitional purpose, there is a need for greater clarity about whether these homes are subject to the Framework.
\r\n\r\n
As Toronto continues to experience high levels of arrivals of refugee-claimants, facilitating access to services provided by refugee houses and other refugee-serving organizations is critical. It is important that refugee houses, wherein temporary housing and services are provided by a registered charity, non-profit housing provider or co-operative housing provider, have clear and accessible information about how their accommodations align with the Multi-Tenant Housing Framework.
\r\n\r\n
The reason for urgency is currently a number of multi-tenant housing providers are limited from moving forward in the City’s new Framework without these technical amendments, and refugee houses looking to expand immediately need clarity about their classification under the Framework.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"On October 11, 2023, City Council adopted Item 2023.MM11.32, which directed the City Solicitor to participate in the receivership proceeding against Toronto Artscape Inc. (“Artscape”), with the intent of protecting affordable housing and affordable not-for-profit arts and culture space. 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
Throughout the receivership process, the City has strongly advocated for the interests of Artscape’s 390 residential and commercial tenants. The City worked closely with Artscape to develop comprehensive transition plans for its 14 properties ahead of the receivership, and successfully advocated for the vast majority of Artscape’s properties to be excluded from the scope of the receivership. Just 38 tenants, or 9 percent of Artscape’s former tenants, are located at properties subject to the receivership.
\r\n\r\n
One of the properties subject to the receivership is Youngplace, a former public school located at 180 Shaw Street, which was purchased by Artscape in 2010 and redeveloped as a community cultural hub, opening in 2013. Youngplace is structured as a commercial condominium, with most occupants owning their units directly. Artscape was hired by the condominium corporation (TSCC 2397) to maintain the property, and ensure the community vision for Youngplace as a vibrant cultural hub was upheld in its operations.
\r\n\r\n
Artscape owned and rented 13 of the commercial condominium units at Youngplace to non-profit arts organizations and to a childcare space at below-market rates. Artscape also owned two other units in the building, which were used as a café and as a common area. These 15 units have been included in the scope of the receivership. In late June, the units were placed for sale by the Receiver on the Multiple Listing Service.

1. City Council formally declare April 11 – 17, 2025 as Black Maternal Health Week in the City of Toronto.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this Motion is to declare April 11 to 17, 2025 as Black Maternal Health Week in Toronto. This week will focus on raising awareness about Black maternal health, supporting Black-led initiatives, and encouraging community involvement. The Black Health Plan for Ontario seeks to enhance Black maternal health by providing equitable access to prenatal care and culturally competent services and it highlights the need for data collection to better understand and address health disparities.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto is home to a vibrant and diverse Black community that faces unique socio-economic and cultural challenges. From the 2021 Census, 10% of Torontonians identify as Black. In our city, Black maternal health is often overlooked due to limited data on maternal health outcomes, systemic anti-Black racism, and a lack of targeted public initiatives. Research shows that Black pregnant people experience higher rates of stillbirths, and poor maternal and infant outcomes such as preterm birth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and congenital heart disease, compared to White individuals. For example, a study from McGill University found that 8.9% of Black women gave birth to preterm babies between 2004 and 2006, compared to 5.9% of White women. This data stresses the need for targeted interventions and support to address disparities.
\r\n\r\n
Even with a universal healthcare system, Black women face health disparities due to systemic anti-Black racism and social inequalities. A 2023 study revealed that many Black women in Toronto feel dismissed, ignored, and neglected by healthcare providers. To improve Black maternal health, the healthcare system and other frontline providers must train service providers on anti-Black racism, specific to caring of Black childbearing women, and increase the number of Black service providers in perinatal settings.
\r\n\r\n
This commitment is in line with the City of Toronto’s broader work to deepen cultural and systemic change and deliver better outcomes for Black Torontonians, such as the development of a renewed 10-year Toronto Action Plan to Confront Anti-Black Racism. With this proclamation, we commit to collaborating and advocating with partners for improvements to Black maternal health equity. The City of Toronto also commits to providing equitable and welcoming spaces for Black parents and families in Toronto through existing City programs and services including raising awareness on this important issue.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Communities outside the downtown core are rich with culture and creativity. However, many of the non-profit arts and cultural organizations working in Scarborough, Etobicoke, and North York are struggling to secure their long-term sustainability – a crisis that is particularly felt by those organizations serving vulnerable youth and other equity-deserving communities. These organizations have struggled to regain their stability following the COVID-19 pandemic, with many facing cash flow challenges that threaten their survival. Action is needed now to ensure that cultural organizations outside the core have the resources they require to create opportunities for residents across Toronto to engage with culture, and for the next generation of cultural leaders to grow and thrive.

Economic Development and Culture is currently developing a new 10-year Action Plan for Toronto’s Culture Sector, which will be presented to City Council for consideration in fall 2024. Economic Development and Culture engaged over 3,600 residents in all corners of Toronto to inform the development of the plan. Consultation participants emphasized the need for a more equitable distribution of cultural funding across the city and spoke to the challenges facing new and emerging organizations in Scarborough, Etobicoke, and North York. These organizations are funded at much lower levels than larger arts institutions, resulting in significant service gaps for equity-deserving communities, and leading to instability and uncertainty. The work of the Action Plan Advisory Panel, chaired by Councillor Carroll, is appreciated, especially in regards to its provisions for equitable distribution of funding.

3. City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to execute on behalf of the City a Community Access Agreement with the Toronto District School Board for the capital improvements to the schoolyard at Maurice Cody Junior Public School, for a term of 20 years and on such other terms and conditions satisfactory to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.
\r\n\r\n
4. City Council direct that if a mutually acceptable Community Access Agreement cannot be agreed upon that the funds will not be transferred to the Toronto District School Board and shall be made available for other community facilities in the local community.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The schoolyard at Maurice Cody Junior Public School serves as the neighbourhood park due to a lack of greenspace in the eastern portion of the Davisville Village community. In fact, there is already a community use agreement between the City and the Toronto District School Board for the field which the City provided support for almost a decade ago.

Through the advocacy and hard work of parents, the local Trustee, and the Principal a plan to build a beautiful new play area has been developed. Some of the new features to be built include funnel ball, basketball nets, an outdoor classroom, and new seating.
\r\n\r\n
This motion recommends contributing $164,811.50 paid for through Section 37 funds previously secured exclusively for Maurice Cody Junior Public School.

This motion is urgent to meet Toronto District School Board construction timelines.

\r\n\r\n
1. City Council request the Government of Ontario to immediately provide the City of Toronto with its Year 5 Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit allocation.
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council request the Government of Canada and Government of Ontario to ensure Toronto’s Year 5 Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit allocation is $54 million, to enable at least 300 households per month to move into permanent housing.
\r\n\r\n
3. City Council direct the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat and the General Manager, Toronto Shelter and Support Services, upon receipt of the allocation for Year 5 of the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit from the Government of Ontario, to immediately allocate benefits to Toronto shelter operators and partners in accordance with Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit program guidelines.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit program is funded by the Federal and Provincial governments, to help people and families that are experiencing homelessness secure permanent housing that they can afford. The program funding is administered by the Ontario Government. Since the program’s inception in 2020, the Ontario Government provides a funding allocation each year to municipalities to enable them to enroll new households into the program.
\r\n\r\n
In 2023, the fourth year of the program, the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit helped transition over 3,000 households from shelters and outdoor encampments into housing. On March 31, 2024, the Ontario Government closed Year 4 of the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit program, ending any new applications for Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit. While allocations for Year 5 were promised, the Ontario Government has not provided any details of that funding allocation to the City of Toronto to continue to support new households with Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit.
\r\n\r\n
Since April 1, no new households in Toronto have been able to access Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit benefits to help them move out of shelters or out of encampments and into housing. From October 2023 to March 2024, Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit ensured that approx. 300 households (over 450 people) were able to access permanent housing each month. Over the past four months, 1,200 households could have moved into housing with a Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit – if the Ontario Government had provided the City of Toronto with the Year 5 allocation immediately in April.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto’s shelter system is well over capacity. Over 230 people each night are not matched to a shelter bed through Central Intake because there is no space available in the shelter system. At the same time, 748 families with children are stuck on the family placement list – up from 150 families only a year ago. The number of people living outdoors in encampments has more than tripled in just two years. The continuation of Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit for the past four months could have provided enough housing benefits to help many of these people secure permanent housing, while creating much-needed space in our shelter system to help more people access indoor space.
\r\n\r\n
The reason for urgency is that the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit is the primary benefit to help people in need exit the shelter system, which is over capacity with over 200 people turned away each evening. This motion seeks to accelerate the release of benefits so people in need can access housing they can afford.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"At its meeting held on June 26 and 27, 2024 City Council adopted settlement offers for development applications at 2575 and 2625 Danforth Avenue, 2681 Danforth Avenue, and 2721 Danforth Avenue. The settlements included improvements to the built form, the overall public realm, and the provision of community benefits.
\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this motion is to delete and adopt revised recommendations 7.a.ii. and 7.c. correcting instructions for the City Solicitor to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal in support of settlements on the development applications for 2681 Danforth Avenue, and 2721 Danforth Avenue. This motion will reconcile a minor discrepancy between the settlement offers and the Council recommendations respecting the in-kind housing contributions to correct the rent ranges (to accord with approved Official Plan policy) and the unit size requirements.

There are no changes to the proposed built form contemplated through the revised recommendations set out in this motion.

This motion is urgent and time sensitive as the City Solicitor requires direction to proceed at the Ontario Land Tribunal.

\r\n\r\n
1. City Council request the Executive Director, Development Review, in consultation with appropriate City Divisions, to determine the appropriate amendment to the Zoning By-law for Phases 4 and 5 of the Regent Park revitalization to avoid conflicts with critical City infrastructure, and increase the opportunity to provide a range of housing options including rent-geared-to income, affordable, and market housing, and to bring forward any required reports on the Zoning By-law Amendment to a statutory public meeting under the Planning Act after holding a community meeting, no later than the fourth quarter of 2024.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Toronto Community Housing Corporation is undertaking the phased revitalization of Regent Park into a mixed-use, mixed-income neighbourhood, including full replacement of the existing rent-geared-to-income social housing units and new affordable and market housing as well as community space, retail, office, and publicly accessible open spaces. On July 19, 2023, City Council approved a Zoning By-law Amendment application for Phases 4 and 5 of the Regent Park revitalization to permit 12 buildings with heights ranging from 6 to 39 storeys.
\r\n\r\n
In March 2024, two conflicts were identified between the building footprints proposed for Phases 4 and 5 and existing critical City infrastructure located within the future public right-of-ways for Sackville Street and Sumach Street. The infrastructure requires clearances to ensure protection and access for operations and maintenance, which extend into the planned building footprints for Blocks 4B and 5C (previously referred to as Buildings 2B and 3H in the Decision Report dated June 6, 2023 from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District).
\r\n\r\n
The Amendment is necessary to accommodate a redesign of Blocks 4B and 5C to provide the required clearances, while achieving the affordable and market housing planned for these Blocks, and offsetting any impacts. Development Review in consultation with relevant staff are also requested to consider opportunities to increase the housing options in Phases 4 and 5 as part of the redesign initiative.
\r\n\r\n
This motion is urgent because it will enable Toronto Community Housing Corporation and their development partner to continue advancing the revitalization of Phases 4 and 5 of Regent Park, which includes the construction of replacement rent-geared-to-income social housing units and new affordable and market housing.
