","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"In my time as a City Councillor and Toronto’s Child and Youth Advocate, I spoke with youth across the city - asking them what they would do if they were mayor for a day. One entry from Sylvia stood out above all the others. She submitted a drawing of a stick figure child holding up a shopping bag, her note read that she would ask God for money to buy groceries. This image and this need has haunted me ever since.
\r\n\r\n
That’s why today I am taking the next step as Mayor to build a Universal Student Food Program in our city. I am committed to making this happen. It exists in cities around the world and Torontonians deserve it too.
\r\n\r\n
I am very proud to have helped establish Toronto’s student food program when I was a school trustee and later a councillor. Today it helps to serve over 227,000 meals per day to kids across our city. But still there are over 100,000 kids across more than 220 public schools who do not have access to good food, including thousands in some of our lowest income neighbourhoods.
\r\n\r\n
In fact, we have 21 schools that have the infrastructure in place, that are eligible, that have applied in the last two years, and have been denied because of a lack of funding. That means 8,000 kids at these schools don’t have the same opportunities, they’re stuck trying to focus and learn on empty stomachs. My first recommendation below puts us on a path to feeding these students in January 2025.
\r\n\r\n
The rising cost of groceries is putting pressure on families in our City. In Toronto, nearly one in three food bank clients are children and youth. The reality is, in our city with so much wealth, we have thousands of kids going to school every single day hungry. When you’re hungry, you can’t learn. We need our kids to be able to focus on their teacher, not their hunger. We know that student meal programs increase attendance, improve math, science and reading scores, reduce dropouts, and create healthier communities.
\r\n\r\n
City Council and the Toronto Board of Health have a long history of offering nutritious meals at school through the Student Nutrition Program. This program is funded through municipal and provincial funding streams. The City of Toronto currently invests $19.16 million annually and the Province of Ontario nearly $9 million. School community contributions and fundraising alongside corporate donations also help to fund the program. And in its April 2024 Budget, the Federal Government announced the National School Food Program, where they committed hundreds of millions that we expect to soon flow here in Ontario.
\r\n\r\n
With this alignment across orders of government and, frankly, across political parties - we have a big opportunity to make a universal school food program a reality in our city.
\r\n\r\n
That’s why I am recommending Executive Committee adopt the recommendations below.

\r\n\r\n
3. City Council authorize the public release of Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (September 17, 2024) from the City Manager once the purchase transactions related to the Shoreside Infrastructure Project have been completed.
","financialImpactWep":"This report provides the work plan for the infrastructure associated with forthcoming electric ferries. The estimated capital and related costs, such as project management, to implement shoreside infrastructure is $41,800,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($42,535,680 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries) and is included in the 2024 Capital Budget and 2025-2033 Capital Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation. This will be funded through a combination of Debt and Development Charges. City Council approved the funding to support this component of the project through a budget adjustment at the July 24, 2024 meeting through the Capital Variance Report for the Four Months Ended April 30, 2024. This funding will be provided to CreateTO and its affiliate corporations, Toronto Port Lands Company and Build Toronto, to deliver the project.
\r\n\r\n
The estimated cost to implement shoreside infrastructure excludes the incremental costs to be incurred by Toronto Hydro as a part of electrical connection work within the right-of-way that will be recoverable from the City for this project. Toronto Hydro is currently in the process of developing the scope and costing for this work and once that work is completed, those costs will be brought forward for approval. Any future financial implications resulting from electrical connection work within the right-of-way and other additional cost implications would be addressed through future budget processes, as needed.
\r\n\r\n
Contract administration and design costs for the shoreside infrastructure are funded through the separate project budget for Ferry Fleet Replacement Project included in Parks, Forestry and Recreation's approved 2024 Capital Budget and 2025-2033 Capital Plan. The value of Purchase Order Number 6044203 with Concept Naval Experts Maritimes Inc. is $9,346,221 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($9,510,715 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), including both the Shoreside Infrastructure and vessel construction and delivery.
\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":"At its meeting on July 24, 2024, City Council approved the award of a contract to construct and deliver two new fully electric ferry vessels for operations to and from Toronto Island. This report in response to Council's request outlines the work plan to install shoreside infrastructure at Jack Layton Ferry Terminal (\"Shoreside Infrastructure Project\") to enable operation of new electric ferries, beginning with the vessels scheduled to arrive in Q4 2026 and Q2 2027 and including other electric replacement vessels to be added to the City's ferry fleet. No capital work is required at the Toronto Islands to enable operation of electric ferries. The work plan presents the tasks and associated timelines required to complete the shoreside infrastructure including the design, permits and approvals, procurement and construction phases.
\r\n\r\n
The report also presents the roles and responsibilities within City divisions, CreateTO and Toronto Hydro to effectively advance the project and ensure oversight regarding project budget, timelines, quality control and integration with parallel projects and with ferry operations.
\r\n\r\n

","financialImpactWep":"Investments in Housing
\r\n\r\n
The VHT is a policy tool specifically designed to increase the supply of housing in the City by disincentivizing keeping homes vacant. When a home remains vacant, any VHT revenue collected is directed towards initiatives that increase or preserve housing supply.
\r\n\r\n
Following the second year of implementation of the VHT program, it is estimated that the current vacancy rate in the City is approximately 1% - 1.2%. As the program has its desired impact of reducing the number of vacant homes, there will be a corresponding decrease in VHT revenues collected. The program currently generates approximately $55 million annually. These funds are not used to offset general budget pressures or balance the City’s budget but rather are reinvested specifically into housing initiatives. After offsetting program administration costs, funds have been used to support capital initiatives within the Housing Secretariat and Toronto Community Housing Corporation, with a further allocation towards the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition (MURA) program that enables the purchase of at-risk private market rental housing to secure the homes as permanently affordable non-profit housing.
\r\n\r\n
To date, it is estimated that the VHT program has collected total revenues of $107.2 million ($56.5 million for the 2022 taxation year and $50.6 million for the 2023 taxation year). Actual revenues generated by VHT program will not be finalized until all Notices of Complaint and audits are complete for these taxation years.
\r\n\r\n
To further encourage a reduction in vacancies and support adequate housing supply, City Council has approved a rate increase to the VHT from 1% of a residential property’s current value assessment (CVA) to 3%, effective for the 2024 taxation year. As a result, the City anticipates a decrease in the current vacancy rate with preliminary estimates for annual revenues of approximately $105 million in 2025. A refined estimate will be considered as part of the 2025 Budget process based on market trends and response to the program. Staff anticipate this to be diminishing revenue, with an expected decline each year as more homes are actively occupied.
\r\n\r\n
Program Administration
\r\n\r\n
This report includes recommendations on a redesign of the VHT program that includes a series of program enhancement with an overall financial impact estimated at approximately $5.8 million annually associated with administering the program. This includes areas of staffing for a dedicated customer care team available through 311, totalling an estimated $1.1 million annually. The enhanced communication strategy including a more robust print and online advertising campaign, additional mail notices, and print and postage costs for tax bills inserts is expected to have an annual cost of approximately $1.6 million. Table 1 below provides details on proposed additional impacts for the 2024 VHT Taxation Year.

Program administration costs will continue to be fully offset through VHT revenue collected with no impact on the City’s property tax base.
\r\n\r\n
Waiving the Declaration Late Fee
\r\n\r\n
For the 2023 taxation year, City Council waived the user fee for failing to declare occupancy status by the due date (Item CC17.1). This fee had previously been implemented as of January 1, 2024, at an amount of $21.24 for each property owner with the intent to apply funds received to administrative costs. Staff recommend that the user fee continue to be waived while the success of program redesign initiatives are evaluated. Staff will reassess the success of the program through evaluation of the ease of declaration and the declaration rate to make appropriate recommendations on the further extension of this user fee waiver or the reinstatement of the inflation-adjusted user fee for subsequent taxation years.
\r\n\r\n
Given the recommended program design changes in this report, specifically including the extended deadline to April 30, increased ease of declaration, and enhanced communication strategy, staff expect the number of property owners to submit a late declaration to be significantly minimized in future years.
","agendaItemSummary":"In 2021, City Council approved the Vacant Home Tax (VHT) as a policy tool to help address the housing crisis that exists in Toronto. The primary objective of the VHT is to improve housing availability by reducing the number of residential properties that would otherwise be left vacant. The VHT program creates a disincentive for property owners to leave residential properties vacant and encourages them to bring these homes into the active rental or ownership housing market. Where property owners choose to keep a property vacant, revenues collected from the program are invested in initiatives that increase or preserve housing supply, such as the City’s Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition (MURA) Program.
\r\n\r\n
While the VHT program is still relatively new in Toronto, evidence from other jurisdictions has shown that it is an effective policy tool to increase housing supply. As seen in Vancouver, their equivalent policy tool to the VHT has directly resulted in an increase in housing stock in the rental market.
\r\n\r\n
While the VHT program is an important policy tool to support housing supply in the City, the 2023 declaration process that culminated last April was incredibly challenging for residents who received a Vacant Home Tax charge for a property they continued to reside in, as well as Members of Council, their teams and City staff that fielded countless calls from distressed residents. During a report to Council in April 2024, staff acknowledged the challenging 2023 VHT declaration process and immediately identified actions to address those challenges. Staff committed to undertaking a full review of the program and reporting back with a completely redesigned VHT process effective for the 2024 taxation year.
\r\n\r\n
Since then, Revenue Services, in collaboration with Strategic Public & Employee Communications, Technology Services, Customer Experience (311), Legal Services, Office of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Office of the Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer have completed a full review and redesign of the program, focusing on improvements to the following four key areas, all with a customer centred approach:
\r\n\r\n
1. Process and timelines,
\r\n2. Ease of declaration,
\r\n3. Communications strategy, and
\r\n4. Technology and customer interface.
\r\n\r\n
Together, these improvements aim to make the declaration process as simple and accessible as possible based on feedback from discussions and consultations with various target audiences.
\r\n\r\n
The recommended changes outlined in this report will ensure that homeowners are able to declare their occupancy status in a format that works best for them, whether online, in-person or over the phone, over an extended period of time with access to a dedicated customer care team should additional support be needed. The revised program will ensure a smoother and more efficient experience for Torontonians who, through annual declarations, are a key part of helping the City address its current housing crisis. These changes will also ensure that no homeowner will receive any billing related to VHT, unless they are specifically determined as vacant in accordance with the VHT program by-law.

Future year requirements will be addressed in the 2025 report to Executive Committee and in future year budget submissions.
\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":"PortsToronto has a federal regulatory requirement to implement Runway End Safety Areas (RESA) at the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (BBTCA) by July 12, 2027 (See Attachment 1). The potential for RESA regulations was first raised by Transport Canada in 2010, with regulations ultimately finalized and published in the Canada Gazette in December 2021. The potential RESA options at BBTCA were also highlighted in PortsToronto's 2018 Airport Master Plan.
\r\n\r\n
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the federal RESA requirement and the proposed runway end options at BBTCA. It also provides City staff comments on the runway end options and PortsToronto's requests, and the decisions and approvals that are recommended as a result of these requests. Further, this report provides a summary of the City-led public engagement on this matter. Staff advice is focused on RESA compliance, per the federal requirement described in Attachment 1.
\r\n\r\n
BBTCA is operated by the Toronto Port Authority (operating as PortsToronto) and is on land that is approximately 78% owned by PortsToronto, 20% by the City of Toronto and 2% by the Government of Canada, represented by the Minister of Transport. The operations at BBTCA are governed under a Tripartite Agreement that was signed by the three landowners in 1983, and which has a current end date in 2033. The agreement is unique because, in addition to setting out conventional lease terms, it includes numerous conditions and prohibitions respecting airport operations and describes certain requirements and responsibilities of the signatories, including a prohibition of any actions that would \"…interfere with the safe use and operation of the island airport.\" The airport has and continues to operate safely, as is required under federal Canadian Aviation Regulations.
\r\n\r\n
PortsToronto has requested that Transport Canada and the City amend the Tripartite Agreement by providing permission to extend the available landmass, which is currently prohibited.
\r\n\r\n
As a result of due diligence and public engagement, City staff are in a position to recommend PortsToronto's \"Option 1\" as the most efficient option for meeting RESA compliance by the federal regulatory deadline. Accordingly, this report recommends that City Council authorize a limited Tripartite Agreement amendment to permit the essential land mass expansion required for Option 1. This would be a limited, technical amendment to permit limited lakefill works to achieve RESA compliance most quickly.
\r\n\r\n
City Council's adoption of the recommendations in this report would indicate the City's support for the completion of Option 1 and provide clarity to PortsToronto's Board of Directors on the extent of City approvals that will be provided to enable RESA compliance.
\r\n\r\n
Providing permission for essential land mass expansion (and thus limited lakefill works) will focus the project as a compliance effort and encourage PortsToronto to ensure delivery of an essential and time-sensitive public safety upgrade for this important transportation asset.
\r\n\r\n
Providing permission for the lakefill required for RESA Option 1 represents a balanced approach that preserves the airport's existing commercial operations (thus maintaining its contribution to the city's economy) while having the lowest possible incremental impacts to livability on Toronto's waterfront. City Council approval of the lakefill required for Option 1 would in effect be a continuation of 'status quo' from a waterfront revitalization perspective.
\r\n\r\n
Among the RESA options under study by PortsToronto, Option 1 represents a focused scope of work which is:
\r\n\r\n
- The lowest risk scenario to achieving the mandated federal safety requirements by the July 12, 2027 federal deadline;
\r\n- Has a considerably lower project cost;
\r\n- Avoids the need for additional planning approvals, such as an Official Plan Amendment, which would add additional time; and,
\r\n- Provides the shortest construction timeline and smallest scope of lakefill, resulting in minimum disruption over two and a half years to residents and recreational activities within the surrounding area.
\r\n\r\n
PortsToronto has also requested an extension to the lease to provide for a longer window for RESA financing, as well as greater operational and planning certainty; the request is for the agreement to run for 48 years from 2025, meaning an extension of term from 2033 to 2073 (an extra 40 years). Further, PortsToronto has proposed related/ancillary airport infrastructure and safety upgrades that could be enabled by expanded lakefill scope. Due to RESA compliance timelines, PortsToronto has requested City Council direction on their desired amendments to the Tripartite Agreement by November 29, 2024, and for a new or amended Tripartite Agreement, to be signed by the parties, by January 31, 2025.
\r\n\r\n
City staff are not recommending changes to the term of the Tripartite Agreement in this report, as this issue is also best considered as a part of an airport master planning exercise and following robust public consultation.
\r\n\r\n
City staff note that the ancillary works that are proposed in more complex RESA options, as well as other items, could be implemented later, in an incremental fashion, and are best considered in the context of an airport master planning exercise. This would allow for a holistic study while avoiding building these items into a considerably larger size RESA project that has additional cost, risk and complexity associated with non-essential (to the RESA project) lakefill works.
\r\n\r\n
City staff are also not making a recommendation that would result in a material and immediate impact to airport operations, such as not taking a position on RESA compliance, reducing declared runway distances or implementing an Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) option. These options represent significant changes and would have wide ranging implications on matters which have not been studied since the last comprehensive airport proposal in 2014. Rather the study of broader issues is better considered as a part of a fulsome public conversation in the context of an airport master planning exercise.
\r\n\r\n
PortsToronto and some stakeholders have raised the need for a broader public discussion on the future of the airport. With the focus on RESA compliance, PortsToronto, Transport Canada and the City have not fully explored how such a public discussion could occur. Further, BBTCA's airport master plan was last updated in 2018 with best practices dictating an update every ten years. PortsToronto has previously committed to updating its master plan every five years. Accordingly, this report recommends that staff be authorized to participate in discussions with PortsToronto and Transport Canada on the need for an update to the airport's 2018 master plan and be directed to report to Executive Committee in 2025 on the framework, including funding requirements, required for such a process. It is important that the parties work together to develop a process to guide this larger discussion and agree on its timelines. An effective process would seek to promote robust engagement, allow for thoughtful consideration of the issues involved, and provide transparency and accountability in decision making.
\r\n\r\n
The recommendations outlined in this report would allow for RESA implementation by the 2027 deadline, while separating this safety objective from the much larger discussion about the airport in the context of broader City goals. City staff are recommending this approach to provide the time and space for robust and thoughtful consideration about an update to the airport master plan and the possible comprehensive review and renewal of the Tripartite Agreement.
\r\n\r\n
Previous City Council directions and City policies acknowledge the complexities of a downtown airport including the land-use compatibility challenges in the Bathurst Quay neighbourhood, the City's broader objectives related to waterfront revitalization, including building more housing, and the regional economic importance of this unique transportation asset.
\r\n\r\n
In 2000, the vision document Our Toronto Waterfront: Gateway to a New Canada, set out a new direction for the waterfront to become a \"model to the world of how economic development, environmental protection and cultural and recreational growth can complement each other… [creating] a place to play, live and work.\" While the vision has evolved, including through the core principles of the Central Waterfront Secondary Plan and the renewed priorities of the Next Phase of Waterfront Revitalization, what is unchanged is the idea that waterfront revitalization offers a unique opportunity to address complex, often intersecting challenges to create a prosperous, vibrant and livable city. This includes the need to balance public policy objectives as we continue to recover, renew and enhance Toronto's global competitiveness. A downtown airport is an asset that can support Toronto and the region’s economy by contributing to key sectors such as film and culture, innovation & technology, life sciences and cleantech, while enhancing the visitor economy.
\r\n\r\n
As detailed further below City Council authority for RESA Option 1 and direction for staff to work with Transport Canada and PortsToronto on an updated airport master plan would achieve the following public policy objectives:
\r\n\r\n
- Encourage compliance with relevant City of Toronto Official Plan lakefill policies, which limit lakefill to meeting the needs of \"essential public works.\"
\r\n- Reinforce the core principles of the Central Waterfront Secondary Plan and the principles which guide the Next Phase of Waterfront Revitalization.
\r\n- Create the space for a longer-term discussion to occur about the airport master planning process and the possible comprehensive review and renewal of the Tripartite Agreement.
\r\n\r\n
Next Steps for RESA
\r\nFollowing City Council decision making, the next steps on RESA will largely be determined by PortsToronto, which will complete its Environmental Assessment and identify a preferred option.
\r\n\r\n
Should PortsToronto select their current Option 1 as a compliance-focused RESA design that is limited to essential lakefill works, the RESA project could proceed in short order and maintain the critical path required for compliance by 2027. In this scenario, PortsToronto may refine their approach following City Council approvals since the Environmental Assessment is ongoing.
\r\n\r\n
Should PortsToronto pursue a RESA option that is substantially scoped beyond Option 1 and the essential lakefill works required to achieve RESA compliance, other City processes such as an Official Plan Amendment would be required. An Official Plan Amendment for example would require submission of an application with a number of information items (plans, reports and studies) that may be required to assess proposals and the completeness of applications. Community consultation meetings are requirements in the Official Plan Amendment process. Staff evaluate requests for site specific Official Plan Amendments through a rigorous process that includes reports to committee and Council, public consultation, and an appeal period. Additional processes and approvals would add to project timelines and could have a negative impact on achieving RESA compliance by the federal deadline.
\r\n\r\n
Next Steps for Airport Master Planning
\r\nSubject to City Council approval, City staff will enter further discussions with PortsToronto and Transport Canada on an airport master planning process that would set out a clear and transparent framework to guide an upcoming public process. City staff will report back on these matters in 2025.

The City's actual capital spending through the first six months of 2024 is $1.681 billion or 26.6% of the 2024 Approved Capital Budget. This is slightly better than prior year’s experience. The projected year-end spending rate is 81.8% based on estimates provided by City Programs and Agencies, which is largely in line with last year’s projection at the same reporting period. Capital spending will continue to be reviewed with updates provided in future variance reports that will benefit from actual experience in the months where capital expenditures are more intense. As more actual delivery materialized over the course of the year, the Programs and Agencies will provide updated spending projections.

As detailed in Table 1 above, for the six-month period, Tax-Supported Operations experienced a favourable net variance of $246.7 million. A favourable net variance is projected at year-end of $138.3 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 June 30, which is a snapshot in time and the year-end projection is based on current and expected future activities as known and anticipated as at June 30, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
Of the $138.3 million year-end net favourable variance, $117.0 million or 84.6% of the overall variance can be attributed to net favourable variances arising from the following three key drivers:
\r\n\r\n
-Toronto Shelter and Support Services whose expenditures are projected to be $34.6 million lower than budgeted primarily due to reduced costs for the temporary hotel program, driven by negotiated longer-term contracts;
\r\n\r\n
- Toronto Transit Commission (Conventional Service) that is projecting a $54.1 million positive net variance that is largely driven by increased passenger revenue from more leisure trips; and
\r\n\r\n
- Interest/Investment Income which are expected to be $28.3 million greater than budgeted earning estimates.
\r\n\r\n
- The remaining $21.3 million reflects the consolidated favourable variance projection across all other Divisions and Agencies.
\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.
\r\n\r\n
The City continues to advocate to the Federal government for ongoing funding for the refugee claimants in the City’s shelter system. Included in the 2024 Operating Budget, Toronto Shelter and Support Services has a budgeted recovery of $250 million in the Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP) funding. Projection to year-end indicates that the actual costs for refugee claimants in 2024 will increase above $250 million in 2024 due to ongoing refugee arrivals. The City has submitted claims for expenses incurred through June 30, 2024 and will submit reimbursement claims for the final yearend actuals costs. As of today, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has provided the City with $47.6 million in reimbursements for expenses incurred in 2024 Q1.
\r\n\r\n
Rate-Supported Programs:
\r\nRate-Supported Programs reported a favourable year-to-date net variance of $16.6 million. At year-end, Rate-Supported Programs are projecting a favourable variance of $38.1 million.

\r\n
While the favourable year-to-date variance was driven by all three programs, Toronto Parking Authority accounts for over fifty percent of the variance. The year-end projection of $41.1 million is the net revenue amount from the Toronto Parking Authority. Of this amount, a dividend of $30.8 million would be paid to the City based on the new Income Share Agreement, adopted by City Council on June 26, 2024 (https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.EX15.9), which changed the dividend contribution rate from 85 percent to 75 percent.
\r\n\r\n
The year-end projections forecast all programs seeing a favourable net variance with Toronto Water accounting for over fifty percent of the 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. 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
Reserve and Reserve Fund balances as at June 30, 2024, totaled $5,530.0 million, an increase of $238.3 million from the December 31, 2023 balance of $5,291.7 million. The net increase is the result of various Council approved contributions for capital investments in housing, transit and capital, and contributions to vehicle and equipment replacement.
\r\n\r\n
As of June 30, 2024, 95.9% 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 4.1% 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 1.3% of the total 2024 approved Operating Budget of $17,119.6 million.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report summarizes the activities of the City's Reserves and Reserve Fund balances for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and recommends Council approval to establish three obligatory reserve funds to hold provincial funding contributions from the Ontario-Toronto New Deal Agreement.
\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, in order to minimize annual tax rate fluctuations.
\r\n\r\n
Reserves and Reserve Funds balances as at June 30, 2024 totaled $5,530.0 million, an increase of $238.3 million from December 31, 2023 ($5,291.7 million). This net increase is the result of deliberate contributions for capital investments in housing, transit, capital infrastructure, and vehicle and equipment replacement as authorized by Council. The majority of the City's reserve and reserve fund balances ($5,303.3 million, or 95.9%) are committed to future Council directed activities that include capital and operating expenditures and rate-based activities. Only the remaining balance of $226.7 million, or 4.1% 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 $5,303.3 million in committed reserve and reserve funds, there are approximately $15,720.8 million in future commitments and obligations against the existing reserves and discretionary reserve fund balances, which are consistent with Council approved plans over the 2024-2033 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.

This revised formula is intended to replace any previous formulas relating to the return of capital contributions, commencing in in 2025 in relation to the 2024 fiscal year.

","financialImpactWep":"This report recommends the adoption of amended Direct Loan and Loan Guarantee policies, which would enhance the City's ability to mitigate associated financial risks. While there are no immediate costs to the City of providing either loans or loan guarantees, there are financial risks inherent in both. Both loans and loan guarantees are financial commitments made by the City. Depending on the magnitude, either may have potential impacts on the City's credit rating, and on the City's own borrowing capacity.
\r\n\r\n
For loans, the risk is that of potential non-repayment. For loan guarantees, there is also a risk of non-payment, whereby if a supported entity were to default on its debt obligations that are supported by a City guarantee, the City would be required to pay all or a portion of the loan guarantee amount to the third-party lender.
\r\n\r\n
Should the City be required to pay out a loan guarantee to a third-party lender, the City would seek to recover those funds from the supported entity, in the form of a loan. However, the City's ability to do so may be affected by the solvency of the entity, the security that the City may have taken and its ranking as secured creditor.
\r\n\r\n
Table 1 below summarizes the outstanding City loans and loan guarantees as at December 31, 2023. Additional information on City Loans and Loan Guarantees is available in Appendix 4 to this report.

Toronto Artscape Inc., an entity which has one outstanding capital loan guarantee, entered into Receivership subsequent to 2023 year-end, leaving the City with the financial responsibility for funding loan repayments in the amount of $225,874. It has yet to be determined whether the City would be able to recover this amount, and staff will report on the resolution of this issue going forward.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends the adoption of a revised Shareholder Capital Contribution (SCC) repayment formula for Lakeshore Arena Corporation (LAC), which would address LAC cash flow challenges in continuing to operate and make outstanding debt repayments, while making SCC repayments. The proposed change to the SCC repayment formula will also support the City recovering the outstanding $7.026 million SCC balance as at December 31, 2023.
\r\n\r\n
This report also recommends extending the term of a line of credit guarantee for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, for an additional three-year term, expiring on October 31, 2027, as the underlying line of credit remains in good standing.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer reviews and reports annually on the direct City loans, and loan and line of credit guarantees, which are detailed in this report.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report provides information and makes recommendations in relation to the City loans and loan guarantees. Recommendations include adoption of amended Direct Capital Loan and Loan Guarantee Policies (Appendices 1 and 2) which address financial due diligence assessments in support of new loan and loan guarantee requests, and ongoing financial monitoring of active loans and loan guarantees.
\r\n\r\n
The amended policies address eligibility in the same manner as previous policies, with City agencies and corporations eligible for direct capital loans for the purpose of contributing to the financing of a capital project which would create or enhance a municipal capital facility. Entities eligible for loan guarantees continue to be non-profit cultural and community organizations or recreational and sports-based organizations, each of which must have an existing financial relationship with the City.
\r\n\r\n
This report also recommends that investigation of requests for a new or extended loans or loan guarantees from eligible entities must include a financial due diligence assessment, to be undertaken by the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, who would also be responsible for ongoing financial monitoring of existing loans and loan guarantees.
\r\n\r\n
This report also provides regular annual update reporting on an existing portfolio of City direct loans, capital loan and line of credit guarantees. The portfolio of loans included in this report is separate and apart from other internal City loan programs (e.g., Home Ownership Assistance Program, Sustainable Energy Plan Financing Program) which are covered under other City policies.
\r\n\r\n
This report also seeks approval for the renewal of the line of credit guarantee issued by the City on behalf of Toronto Symphony Orchestra to its lender, in the amount of $5 million for a three-year period commencing on November 1, 2024 and expiring on October 31, 2027.
\r\n\r\n
Lastly, this report recommends the adoption of an amended repayment formula for Lakeshore Arena Corporation's Shareholder Capital Contribution, which better aligns with estimated annual cash flows and supports Lakeshore Arena Corporation in continuing to operate and make outstanding debt repayments while making Shareholder Capital Contribution repayments.
\r\n\r\n
As at December 31, 2023, the City had authorized line of credit guarantees amounting to approximately $5.995 million, provided capital loan guarantees for underlying loans of $72.5 million, and had outstanding direct loans of $43.4 million, as identified in this report and as outlined in more detail in Appendix 4.

\r\n\r\n
A number of multi-year projects are projected to proceed ahead of the forecast. The accelerated spending of these projects is offset by delays within other projects as outlined in Schedule A (Part A and B). These changes result in no changes to total project cost for each project.

As outlined in Part C of Schedule A, additional funding is required to support the resolution of outstanding claims associated with the Group 5 Sewage Pumping Station projects, and a purchase order amendment required to support the continuation of contract administration services associated with the Basement Flooding Fairbanks Silverthorne project. Additional funding is also required to support increased costs associated with the completion of Raw Water Pump Upgrades at the Horgan Water Treatment Plant ahead of other planned capital works and to address urgent roof replacement required at the Humber Wastewater Treatment Plant. The additional costs for these projects are to be offset from funds available from projects which have been awarded under budget, projects which have been cancelled due to high pricing or projects which are nearing completion and forecast to be completed under budget.

There are no additional costs to the City as a result of the approval of this report.

\r\n\r\n
2. Subject to Council approval of Recommendation 1 from this supplementary report, direct the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to include funding in the 2025 Budget for the Mayor’s consideration, that will enable TO Live to fully address SOGR and accessibility requirements at the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, to be informed by the Building Condition Assessment once completed.
","financialImpactWep":"TO Live has been provided with spending authority up to $8.560 million to complete the schematic design phase for the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts Redevelopment Project. To date, TO Live has spent $6.781 million for this work and has a remaining balance of $1.779 million that is expected to be unspent by the end of 2024.
\r\n\r\n
- Note that the funds set aside for the schematic design are part of the $50.463 million in funding that had previously been budgeted for planned SOGR works at the venue over the 10-year planning period within the TO Live Capital Plan.
\r\n\r\n
The schematic design estimates the total cost for the STLC Redevelopment project at $421.467 million (in 2027 dollars) which includes all design, construction costs, and contingency costs (+/- 20%-30% accuracy).
\r\n\r\n
As noted in report CT11.2, beyond $50.463 million in City funding ($8.560 million Council approved reallocation of SOGR, and a remaining $41.903 million of potential reallocation of SOGR contingent on federal and provincial funding commitments), the remaining balance of $371.0 million in project cost is currently unfunded. The financing strategy developed by TO Live staff and included as a confidential attachment to CT11.2 expects remaining funds to be secured from federal, provincial, third-party sponsorship, and further City contributions, but does not identify any commitments secured to date.
\r\n\r\n
Through the update report, TO Live is requesting Council authority to advance the project to the Detailed Design phase and to reallocate additional cash flow commitments in the amount of $8.779 million from the remaining $43.683 million in SOGR funding for this purpose. In the absence of full funding commitments from other levels of government, this amount, and all amounts reallocated to the project from SOGR are at risk, which could mean the project does not advance without added City funding contributions.
\r\n\r\n
Furthermore, if the project does not proceed, the City would need to replenish SOGR funds that had been allocated to the redevelopment project that are now needed to address the venues SOGR and accessibility requirements.
\r\n\r\n
- An updated building condition assessment of the STLC is underway with preliminary SOGR and accessibility cost estimates for the venue now totaling $70-$80 million over the next 10 years.
","agendaItemSummary":"This supplementary report from the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has been submitted for Council's consideration in companion with the report from the President and Chief Executive Officer of TO Live entitled Update on the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts Redevelopment Project (CT11.2).
\r\n\r\n
During the 2024 Budget process, City Council approved preliminary project funding to complete the schematic design phase of the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts (STLC) Redevelopment Project through the reallocation of $8.560 million in funding originally planned for State of Good Repair (SOGR) requirements within TO Live's 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan.
\r\n\r\n
City Council also requested the President and Chief Executive Officer, TO Live, in consultation with the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM), to report back to Executive Committee on refined project cost estimates upon completion of a schematic design. Council also requested that reporting include the status of project financing strategies.
\r\n\r\n
In response to this request, at its meeting on September 12, 2024, the Board of Directors of TO Live received an update from the President and Chief Executive Officer, TO Live on the STLC Redevelopment Project (Item CT11.2), which included:
\r\n\r\n
- An updated project cost estimate of $421.467 million at the conceptual design stage, upon completion of the schematic design based on a Class D estimate (+/- 20%-30% accuracy).
\r\n\r\n
- Preliminary results of a building condition assessment that is nearly complete that estimates a total cost of between $70 to $80 million over the next 10 years to alternatively complete only SOGR and accessibility improvements to the venue.
\r\n\r\n
- A proposed updated financing strategy that includes:
\r\n\r\n
- $8.560 million in City funding already allocated to the project as part of the 2024 Budget process to complete the schematic design;
\r\n\r\n
- $41.903 million in further City funding originally planned for SOGR requirements within TO Live's 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan, with its use contingent on federal and provincial funding commitments towards the project; and
\r\n\r\n
- $371.0 million in project costs that are currently unfunded and would need to be secured from federal, provincial, third-party sponsorship, and further City contributions.
\r\n\r\n
- The report also seeks Council authority to advance with the detailed design phase of the project at an estimated cost of $8.779 million, to be to be funded by unspent funds from the $8.560 million noted for the schematic design and an additional draw of $7.0 million from originally planned SOGR funding within TO Live's 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan.
\r\n\r\n
- If approved, completion of this next proposed phase would bring the total spent to advance the project to $15.560 million.
\r\n\r\n
TO Live staff have worked collaboratively with the City on this initiative and engaged staff from within Financial Planning, Economic Development and Culture and Corporate Real Estate Management in preparation of the report (CT11.2). However, City staff advised that they were not supportive of advancing the project further to detailed design or beyond given the project’s outstanding financial risks.
\r\n\r\n
- The financing strategy outlined in CT11.2 relies significantly on financial support from the federal and provincial governments, as well as a third-party fundraising, none of which TOLive and the City have yet to secure.
\r\n\r\n
- In the absence of full funding commitments from other orders of government and third-parties, there is a financial risk that the redevelopment project will not be funded and completed as planned.
\r\n\r\n
- Should funding not be secured from the other orders of government and third-parties, the project could not proceed without further City funding contributions. If the project does not proceed, any amount reallocated from the originally planned SOGR funding within TO Live's 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan will not be available to meet the immediate needs identified in for TO Live’s SOGR plan.
\r\n\r\n
- Furthermore, the City’s Financial Planning Division considered this project through the newly developed Capital Prioritization Framework, and the project scored poorly based on established evaluation criteria that aligns with Council priorities.

","financialImpactWep":"This report provides an update on the program outcomes of the Diversity Youth Fellowship Program 2022-2024, and recommends program improvements including adding a Newcomer Youth Cohort and a new Indigenous Youth Fellowship Program.
\r\n\r\n
City funding for the Diversity Youth Fellowship Program for 2022-2024 is an annual contribution of $0.250 million and is included in the 2024 Operating Budgets for Social Development, Finance and Administration and City Council. The Urban Alliance on Race Relations co-funds the program through their fund-raising efforts.
\r\n\r\n
The total annual City contribution to implement the expanded Diversity Youth Fellowship Program is $0.317 million (gross and net), and will be funded through reallocation within the 2025 base budget for Social Development, Finance and Administration and City Council as detailed below:

The total annual City contribution to implement the proposed Indigenous Youth Fellowship Program, providing annual fellowships for Indigenous youth on a full-time basis is expected to be $0.339 million (gross and net).
\r\n\r\n
Social Development, Finance and Administration will include a new funding request of $0.339 million (gross and net) in the 2025 Budget for the proposed Indigenous Youth Fellowship program for 2025 and future years for consideration along with other City priorities, subject to the City's financial and resource capacity against other critical City-wide operating impacts.
\r\n\r\n
The Diversity Youth Fellowship Evaluation recommends that going forward, the duration of placements may be increased along with enhanced compensation rates. This may lead to future financial implications for the City since co-funding from the Urban Alliance on Race Relations is through their fund-raising efforts.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has been advised of the financial impacts associated with this program to be considered along with other priorities in 2025 and future budget processes.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report responds to Council direction, EC26.7, by providing details on the outcomes of the enhanced Diversity Youth Fellowship Program for 2022-2024 endorsed by City Council and advising on the feasibility of co-developing targeted Diversity Youth Fellowship programming for Indigenous youth.
\r\n\r\n
The Diversity Youth Fellowship is a leadership and career development program for young people 18 to 29 years old from equity-deserving communities to gain hands-on experience working with Toronto's elected officials at City Hall. The Fellowship includes training, mentorship, placements in Council Members’ offices and financial support to undertake a community project. The program currently serves approximately 30 youth annually. The program began in 2018 as the Muslim Youth Fellowship in partnership with the Urban Alliance on Race Relations. The Fellowship has since expanded to include the Black Youth Fellowship, Tamil Youth Fellowship, Filipino Youth Fellowship and Chinese Youth fellowship. The program ensures 50 percent of the fellows are women or identify as women. The Fellowship provides equitable access to opportunities for equity-deserving communities by supporting young people with career navigation, job experience and professional network development. It amplifies the experiences and needs of equity-deserving communities in municipal decision-making spaces and ultimately, enhances representation in municipal government and politics.
\r\n\r\n
Moving forward, this report recommends enhancing the Diversity Youth Fellowship with a Newcomer Youth Cohort, and the implementation of an Indigenous Youth Fellowship beginning in 2025 in partnership with Eshkiniigjik Naandwechigegamig – A place for healing our youth Aabiish Gaa Binjibaaying? – Where did we come from? -Youth Program, known as ENAGB Indigenous Youth Agency.

\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report provides information on the status of payments in lieu of taxes (PILTs) requested from federal, provincial and municipal properties, and identifies payments in lieu of tax receivables from all levels of government that remain outstanding as at July 31, 2024 for the taxation year ending December 31, 2023. The status of outstanding payments in lieu of taxes is reported to Council annually in accordance with a recommendation from the Auditor General in 2015.
\r\n\r\n
Payments in lieu of taxes are voluntary payments made to the City of Toronto by the federal, provincial and municipal governments and agencies to compensate the City for municipal services it delivers to their properties. In most cases, government agencies pay the full amount of payments in lieu of taxes that the City requests. There may, however, be payments in lieu of tax receivables that the Controller has determined are unlikely to be paid. In these cases, the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control) provides authority to the Controller, in consultation with the City Solicitor, to adjust for accounting purposes any outstanding receivables in respect of payments in lieu of taxes.
\r\n\r\n
Through this delegated authority, the Controller, in consultation with the City Solicitor, has authorized adjustments to federal, provincial, and municipal payments in lieu of tax receivable accounts totaling $4,314,397 in August 2024 to reflect that these amounts are unlikely to be paid. The amounts approved for adjustments will not have a negative financial impact for the City since these amounts have been included in the City's 2024 Non-Program Operating Budget.

","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to request authority from City Council to amend Non-Competitive Blanket Contract Number 47019415, issued to Toronto Hydro Electric Systems Ltd. (“Toronto Hydro”), for operations and maintenance costs for co-owned solar photovoltaic systems.
\r\n\r\n
In 2011, the City entered into a partnership with Toronto Hydro to design, construct, own and operate solar photovoltaic projects on the roofs of suitable City facilities. The partnership with Toronto Hydro advances the City’s 2021 Net Zero Carbon Plan as the solar installations on City-owned buildings help generate low-carbon electricity in the City of Toronto. Transitioning to low-carbon energy is also a key factor of TransformTO.
\r\n\r\n
The original 2015 contract was created to cover the shared maintenance costs of 10 solar photovoltaic locations completed in 2013 as part of the solar photovoltaic partnership. Since the creation of the blanket contract, an additional 12 co-owned systems were installed in 2016 and 2018. In consultation with Purchasing and Materials Management, staff are seeking an amendment to the blanket contract to account for these additional systems and future annual maintenance costs.
\r\n\r\n
The total value of the amendment being requested is $2,000,000 net of all taxes and charges ($2,035,200 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries), revising the overall contract value from $400,536 net of all taxes and charges ($407,585 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries) to $2,400,536 net of all taxes and charges ($2,442,785 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).
\r\nAdditionally, it is requested that the expiry date of the blanket contract be extended by 6 years and 3 months (from December 14, 2031 to March 31, 2038), to align with the expiry of the agreements for the sites added in 2018.
\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-year commitment limit 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.

\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 continues to experience unprecedented growth and development at the same time that the City focuses on building affordable housing and expanding our transit networks across the City. To support this activity, there is a need to deliver the necessary infrastructure upgrades and invest in aging infrastructure. The construction coordination process that is currently in place has been challenged to keep pace with this rapid growth and complexity of infrastructure work.
\r\n\r\n
The present five-year capital coordination process does not typically consider longer-term capital projects (5 to 10 years) that are forecasted to support areas of intense growth. Similarly, current capital construction coordination processes have difficulty adjusting to and accommodating emergency requests to conduct last-minute works. It is important that all capital construction projects are properly coordinated, sequenced and bundled, taking into consideration criteria that include safety and traffic congestion in order to minimize impacts to communities. These challenges have created an opportunity to enhance and strengthen the coordination of the City's capital infrastructure program while, at the same time, support the City's efforts to better manage congestion.
\r\n\r\n
To advance and support the necessary work to improve coordination and integrate longer-term, near-term and last-minute capital projects across the City, a new Strategic Capital Coordination Office was established in April of this year within the office of the Deputy City Manager, Infrastructure Services. The creation of this new office was supported and informed by the findings of a management consultant's review and a staff led Capital Delivery Improvements Review; both completed in 2023.
\r\n\r\n
The overall goal of this new Strategic Capital Coordination Office is to:
\r\n\r\n
- Provide strategic senior-level oversight of the City's capital coordination process to enable more timely resolution of emerging issues such as schedule conflicts and management of community impact
\r\n\r\n
- Drive accountability among those involved in the planning, coordination and delivery of construction projects across the city
\r\n\r\n
- Strengthen collaboration between internal divisions, City agencies and external partners such as utilities and developers with work that impacts the City's right of way
\r\n\r\n
- Expand the capital program process to integrate coordination of longer-term plans (5 to 10 years) to maximize bundling and sequencing opportunities of construction projects
\r\n\r\n
- Enhance communication and engagement with Councillors and the public to keep everyone informed on upcoming construction activities, community impacts, mitigating measures, and any changes during construction
\r\n\r\n
The staff team within Engineering and Construction Services that are responsible for coordination of the Toronto Water and Transportation Services' annual five-year capital plan, were transitioned into the new Strategic Capital Coordination Office in April 2024. As work continues to expand and strengthen the role of this office, additional staff are required to provide strategic coordination of capital projects across the City. Eight new temporary positions to support the implementation of the Strategic Capital Coordination Office, fully funded by the capital budget, are being requested for 2024. An additional seven positions will be requested through the 2025 Budget Process to complete the Strategic Capital Coordination Office.
\r\n\r\n
The report also responds to the City Council direction with report IE7.2 of the November 8, 2023 City Council meeting, directing the Deputy City Manager, Infrastructure Services to report back with an approach on the enhancement and expansion of the existing capital coordination programs.

\r\nfinancial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"On February 6, 2024, Toronto City Council approved the governance and administrative requirements to establish an expanded Administrative Penalty System that includes Red Light Camera and Automated Speed Enforcement violations. This change will move the dispute mechanism for violations of Red Light Camera and Automated Speed Enforcement offences from a court-based system to an administrative review model.

In the report approved by Council, staff recommended an effective date of November 1, 2024, for the new proposed replacement City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 610 governing the Administrative Penalty System, the expanded mandate of the Administrative Penalty Tribunal, the updated governance structure for the Administrative Penalty Tribunal, and any associated by-law amendments. This report proposes that City Council approve a revised effective date of December 9, 2024.
\r\n\r\n
The Administrative Penalty System program team requires additional time to complete critical requirements for the system implementation. A revised implementation date of December 9, 2024, is being proposed to complete the balance of critical requirements including the privacy impact assessment, cyber risk assessment, user acceptance testing, penetration testing to secure the system and its data, as well as staff training.

","agendaItemSummary":"The Congestion Management Plan 2023 - 2026 was presented at the October 2023 Infrastructure and Environment Committee and then subsequently to Council in November 2023. This report addresses a number of additional items that City Council has requested Transportation Services report back on since the adoption of the original report.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto continues to be the busiest city in all North America in terms of construction due to increased private development activity, major infrastructure renewal and the implementation of higher order transit. While the economic benefits of growth will deliver long term value to the residents and businesses in the city, the impacts of construction are having a direct impact on network capacity and neighborhood mobility. Since the end of the pandemic, construction activity has been exacerbated by changes in travel patterns due to hybrid work and a resurgence of people attending events on the weekends. In short, construction has increased, travel patterns and habits have changed, the city population continues to grow and, as a result, overall congestion is having a significant impact on people's daily lives and travel.
\r\n\r\n
Managing congestion in a city the size and scale of Toronto requires comprehensive and nimble approaches to planning and coordination, including bringing data and analytics to articulate the causes of congestion and implement strategic approaches-both tested and innovative-to manage impacted areas. This report identifies additional strategic measures and coordinating efforts to effectively address traffic flow, streamline construction activities and accommodate the demands of a growing urban population.
\r\n\r\n
There are several systemic changes being introduced at the September 27 Infrastructure & Environment Committee meeting to help manage citywide congestion and construction coordination, including this report as well as the Enhancing Capital Infrastructure Program Coordination report. These two reports are further supported by actions that Engineering and Construction Services is taking to enhance capital delivery and contract management for large municipal infrastructure projects. A report on these initiatives will be advanced in the first quarter of 2025.
\r\n\r\n
As part of this shared and collaborative effort, this report provides updates on five key impactful actions being led by Transportation Services that will more effectively manage congestion in the near term and set a strong foundation for the future:
\r\n\r\n
- Plans for better coordination and control over construction activities on the right-of-way and strategy for cost-recovery of traffic congestion mitigation efforts
\r\n\r\n
- Upcoming measures for automated enforcement to mitigate bylaw infractions, such as the blockage of signalized intersections and illegal blockage of bike lanes and illegal use of dedicated transit lanes.
\r\n\r\n
- Next steps for the Traffic Agent Program and Continued support from the Toronto Police Traffic Direction Pilot
\r\n\r\n
- New evaluation framework and methodology for reviewing and approving permits for Special Events
\r\n\r\n
- Increasing fines in support of congestion and safety
\r\n\r\n
Attachment 4 outlines the timelines and expected outcomes of each action towards better managing congestion.
\r\n\r\n
In addition to the key measures listed above, this report also proposes a plan for a new Artificial Intelligence-based traffic simulation modelling strategy that will assist in assessing the impacts of proposed construction or special event related road closures, recommend traffic mitigation plans and provide the ability to measure the impacts of the road closures. It is anticipated that the predicted impacts could be used in the future to better inform charges for road occupation in the new cost-recovery framework.
\r\n\r\n
While the recommendations in this report will not eliminate congestion, they provide a more robust toolkit of coordination practices, technology enhancements and \"boots on the ground\" solutions to actively manage the ongoing pressures of growth and development that continues to shape our city.

City Council direct the Executive Director, Environment and Climate to work with City Divisions, Agencies and Corporations who manage City property, including Corporate Real Estate Management, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, the Toronto Transit Commission, the Toronto Public Library, CreateTO, Toronto Community Housing Corporation, Exhibition Place, Toronto Zoo, and TOLive, in collaboration with Toronto Parking Authority and Toronto Hydro, to identify opportunities to install Electric Vehicle chargers on City-owned public facing properties.
\r\n\r\n
5. City Council direct the Executive Director, Environment and Climate Division and request the President, Toronto Parking Authority to establish a working group to share best practices and promote operational consistencies between how the City of Toronto and the Toronto Parking Authority operate and maintain their publicly accessible Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure, including with respect to branding, payment, wayfinding, and availability.
\r\n\r\n
6. City Council direct the Executive Director, Environment and Climate Division to provide information to Toronto Hydro to help support Toronto Hydro’s development of a communication plan that directs building owners, including homeowners, and tenants in Toronto to only contact Toronto Hydro for information and guidance on the installation of a private Electric Vehicle charger.
\r\n\r\n
7. City Council direct the Executive Director, Environment and Climate to request The Atmospheric Fund to take the lead on engaging with public and private stakeholders and the development of an integrated, actionable, and resourced plan that complements the City-operated charging network to accelerate the rollout of public Electric Vehicle charging on non-City public and private sector properties and share information with The Atmospheric Fund to support the development of the plan.
\r\n\r\n
8. City Council direct the Executive Director, Environment and Climate to provide information to the Toronto Parking Authority regarding City priorities for Electric Vehicle parking and charging, including information that could support the coordination of investments to meet city-wide needs.
\r\n\r\n
9.

","financialImpactWep":"With a mandate that has grown to include responsibility for the operation, maintenance and continued expansion of Electric Vehicle infrastructure, Toronto Parking Authority has invested $21.2 million in expanding Electric Vehicle charging opportunities in the City since 2021. This investment was funded through a combination of Toronto Parking Authority’s retained earnings of $19.0 million and $2.2 million in funding provided by Natural Resources Canada through the Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program.
\r\n\r\n
On June 26, 2024, City Council approved a Net Income Share Agreement between the City of Toronto and the Toronto Parking Authority. Through this agreement, the City is providing capital funding of $33.9 Million over three years (2024 - 2026) directly to Toronto Parking Authority to fund the capital expansion of its off-street Electric Vehicle charging program.
\r\n\r\n
Currently the Toronto Parking Authority receives approximately $0.5 million in revenue from Electric Vehicle charging. This revenue will be used for the state of good repair, maintenance, repairs, and upgrades to existing Electric Vehicle infrastructure owned and maintained by Toronto Parking Authority.
\r\n\r\n
It is expected that with the roll out of Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure described in this report that the Toronto Parking Authority will need to identify in its future year budget submissions, any operating requirements, including staffing needed to support additional responsibilities of the delivery, operation, and maintenance of publicly accessible Electric Vehicle chargers outside of Toronto Parking Authority off-street facilities, for consideration.
\r\n\r\n
To reflect future additional responsibilities identified in the governance structure detailed in this report as it pertains to public Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure, it will also be necessary for the City Manager to work with the President, Toronto Parking Authority, to report back to City Council any necessary updates to the City of Toronto – Toronto Parking Authority Relationship Framework and authorities delegated by Council under Chapter 179, Parking Authority.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"Decarbonizing the transportation sector to meet the ambitious goals outlined in Toronto’s TransformTO Net Zero Strategy (TTO NZS) will require a robust, convenient, and reliable public electric vehicle (EV) charging network that supports other established city-wide sustainable transportation initiatives.
\r\n\r\n
The Approach to Public Electric Vehicle Charging presented in this report responds to the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy Short-term Implementation Plan (2022-2025) action: \"The City will develop a strategy and plans to meet the 2025 targets in the Electric Vehicle Strategy for public charging infrastructure, and to ensure that sufficient public charging infrastructure will be in place to accommodate growth in Electric Vehicle ownership to 30 per cent of registered personal vehicles by 2030.\"
\r\n\r\n
Toronto has started laying a foundation for its network by establishing zoning rules, parking regulations, and by-laws that help define the appropriate use of public space in relation to Electric Vehicle charging. Additionally, Toronto has installed Electric Vehicle charging stations at on-street parking spaces, in Green P parking lots, and at City facilities. The City also provides financing support to encourage charging in existing residential buildings through its BetterHomesTO program while requiring new residential and commercial buildings to install Electric Vehicle charging through the Toronto Green Standard.
\r\n\r\n
In 2021, Environment and Climate began work to understand how to increase Electric Vehicle uptake by directing its focus on identifying where publicly owned and operated Electric Vehicle charging would be needed to complement the existing privately operated and publicly accessible Electric Vehicle charging network and private at-home Electric Vehicle charging spots.
\r\n\r\n
As of June 2024, Toronto had 30,505 registered Electric Vehicles, roughly 2.8 per cent of the estimated 1.1 million registered passenger vehicles. With a goal of 5 percent of all registered vehicles being Electric Vehicles by 2025, the City will need to take a more proactive role in encouraging Electric Vehicle ownership.
\r\n\r\n
This report presents an approach to growing Toronto's existing public charging network by the City through its Divisions, Agencies and Corporations, drawing from extensive research, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement completed in collaboration with several Divisions, Agencies and Corporations to prepare for Toronto's public charging needs.
\r\n\r\n
The Approach proposes a model of cross-corporate coordination to advance Electric Vehicle infrastructure asset planning until the year 2030 and clarifies the City’s role with respect to Electric Vehicle infrastructure provision based on initial technical analysis.
\r\n\r\n
The Approach to Public Electric Vehicle Charging to 2030 includes:
\r\n\r\n
- A City governance structure that optimizes City-owned assets (in the form of properties including lands and buildings) through a centralized approach led by the Environment and Climate Division, including financial planning of Electric Vehicle infrastructure assets.
\r\n
- A technical projection of future needs from a “demand- and utilization-driven perspective” using currently established public charging network information at a ward level to determine the placement of Electric Vehicle chargers.
- A specific focus on equity through education and public charging station location prioritization of vehicle-for-hire (VFH) vehicles to ensure adequate and convenient access to public chargers for this industry.
\r\n
While the City alone cannot be solely responsible for the robustness of the public Electric Vehicle charging network, nor can the City financially incentivize residents to purchase Electric Vehicles, it can ensure that Toronto residents have reasonable access to charging with a consistent user experience. Relatedly, clear processes and communication on how residents can 'connect' to the Electric Vehicle charger whether a resident is a homeowner, renter, or condo dweller will also be critical for seamless operability. This includes minimizing barriers to access chargers by providing clear signage and wayfinding, advancing charger availability and reliability, and cost parity.
\r\n\r\n
Government-led public Electric Vehicle charging programs around the world demonstrate that success in building robust and effective Electric Vehicle charging networks is achieved when collaboration with diverse stakeholders is at the core of this type of infrastructure development, saving time, money, and avoiding unnecessary duplication and stranded assets. Key international examples showcase partnerships with private businesses who supply charging infrastructure and the technology to support it, commercial businesses who allocate spots for their customers and employees to charge their vehicles either at or near their businesses, local utility companies who are a first contact and can provide reliable advice and orientation to what would work best for residents' needs, and intergovernmental alignment on goals and incentives. The City can also, through its processes, policies, and incentives, encourage private sector investment in growing the Electric Vehicle charging network. A robust public Electric Vehicle charging network must include investments from both the private and public sectors.
\r\n\r\n
The City has a wide range of other transportation, city building, land use policies, programs, and infrastructure initiatives. These initiatives are either underway or planned to encourage and support the transition away from the use of fossil fuels and increase the use of more sustainable transportation modes such as public transit, walking and cycling, and zero emission vehicles, where required. This proposed approach supports the multiple options available to residents to travel carbon-free around the city now and into the future.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"I am writing to request that the Deputy City Manager, Infrastructure Services and Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services, to work with other City Officials, the Toronto Police Service, and City agencies as appropriate, take action to address the growing issue of obstructions in Toronto's bike lanes, particularly those caused by construction companies and improperly parked City of Toronto vehicles.
\r\n\r\n
The presence of garbage bins, construction equipment, and improperly parked vehicles in bike lanes poses a significant safety hazard to cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists alike. These obstructions can lead to accidents, injuries, and traffic congestion.
\r\n\r\n
I propose that the City Divisions work collaboratively the Toronto Police Service, and City agencies as appropriate on methods for minimizing blocking or obstructing of bicycle lanes, including but not limited to the following possible measures:
\r\n\r\n
1. Prohibit Construction Companies from Using Bike Lanes for Garbage Bins: Construction companies should be strictly prohibited from placing garbage bins or other equipment in bike lanes. Alternative storage solutions should be required.
2. Enforce Parking Restrictions for City Vehicles: City of Toronto vehicles, including those from all departments and agencies, should be subject to the same parking regulations as private vehicles. Parking in bike lanes should be strictly prohibited.
3. Work with other City Officials, the Toronto Police Service, and City agencies as appropriate, to ensure that:
\r\n
a. City of Toronto owned and contracted vehicles do not block bicycle lanes
\r\n
b. No unauthorized objects, such as garbage bins, obstruct bicycle lanes
\r\n\r\n
By taking these steps, we can ensure that Toronto's bike lanes remain safe and accessible for all users. I believe that this is a critical issue that requires immediate attention.

\r\n\r\n
a. such advertising is consistent with TransformTO, and,
\r\n\r\n
b. any claims in the proposed advertisement have been independently verified as substantiated, per section 74.01 of the Competition Act, and paragraph 8 of the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The Canadian Code of Advertising Standards provides:
\r\n\r\n
8. Advertisements must not distort the true meaning of statements made by professionals or scientific authorities. Advertising claims must not imply that they have a scientific basis that they do not truly possess. Any scientific, professional or authoritative claims or statements must be applicable to the Canadian context, unless otherwise clearly stated.
\r\n\r\n
Climate change is an unprecedented threat to people in Toronto and worldwide, with overwhelming consequences, especially for the most vulnerable. In Toronto, climate change is already causing serious impacts, including increases in average heat, and in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. In turn, these adversely affect the Toronto Transit Commission and those we serve.
\r\n\r\n
The Government of Canada has made international climate commitments to drastically reduce fossil fuel consumption and to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. The City of Toronto, through TransformTO, and an annual carbon budget, has committed to achieve Net Zero climate pollution by 2040.
\r\n\r\n
Fossil fuel companies have a well-documented history of using their immense wealth for advocacy advertising to undermine public support for policies that reduce fossil fuel pollution. Such policies are necessary and urgent to preserve a liveable future for today’s young people. The Pathways Alliance, a coalition of six billionaire fossil fuel companies who produce 95 percent of tar sands bitumen, has actively advertised for this purpose in Toronto, eliciting a number of public complaints. Another fossil fuel lobby group, Canada Action, has also actively advertised across Canada.
\r\n\r\n
Recent changes to 74.01 of the Competition Act expressly prohibit misleading environmental benefits claims made to the public, including:
\r\n\r\n
- Any statement, warranty or guarantee of a product’s benefits for protecting or restoring the environment or mitigating the environmental, social and ecological causes or effects of climate change that are not based on an adequate and proper testing; and
\r\n\r\n
- Any representations with respect to the benefits of a business or business activity for protecting or restoring the environment or mitigating the environmental and ecological causes or effects of climate change that are not based on adequate and proper substantiation in accordance with internationally recognized methodology.
\r\n\r\n
The onus is on the advertiser making such claims to prove, if challenged, that the claims are based on adequate and proper testing or substantiation.
\r\n\r\n
In July 2024, the Pathways Alliance removed the advocacy messaging from its website and social media feeds, citing uncertainty over whether they comply with these amendments to the Competition Act.
\r\n\r\n
A June 2024 study in Energy Research and Social Policy established strong grounds for this “uncertainty”. It examined whether Pathways Alliance advertisements are based on adequate and proper substantiation. Instead, they found: “instances of selective disclosure and omission, misalignment of claim and action, displacement of responsibility, non-credible claims, specious comparisons, nonstandard accounting, and inadequate reporting… Their messaging omits important information, uses misleading framing and comparisons, and fails to meet standards expected of a credible net-zero plan”.
\r\n\r\n
Several European court cases have also ruled that fossil fuel advertising is misleading.
\r\nIn May 2024, Canada’s advertising regulator determined that Canada Action ads claiming liquified natural gas will lower emissions are inaccurate, misleading, and distort scientific data.
\r\n\r\n
In June, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres asked all governments to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies, in light of the enormous harm they are causing, including record planetary heat levels. Support for this initiative is growing among physicians and other health professionals in Canada and around the world.
\r\n\r\n
Several governments are taking such action. Fossil fuel advocacy advertising limits have been adopted in cities such as Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Yarra and Sheffield. The Montreal bikeshare system has removed fossil fuel advertising. The Société de transport de Montréal is considering doing the same. In March 2024, Council of the City of Ottawa directed its staff to report back in the third quarter on revising its city-wide advertising policy on fossil fuel advocacy advertising.
\r\n\r\n
Given the urgency of the climate crisis, the documented greenwashing by fossil fuel companies, and the harmful effect of such greenwashing in discouraging essential climate action, it is contrary to the best interests of the people of Toronto for the City or its agencies and corporations to display fossil fuel advocacy advertising inconsistent with TransformTO on city assets, especially if the claims in such advertising have not been substantiated as required by the Competition Act.

\r\n\r\n
1. City Council request the City Manager establish a working group with representatives from the City of Toronto, City of Pickering, City of Markham, Parks Canada, and Metrolinx to:
\r\n
a. review the 1993 provincially approved Environmental Assessment that studied the widening of Steeles Avenue East and determine whether an amended, or a new Environmental Assessment, is required in order to proceed with the widening of the Steeles Avenue East between Ninth Line and Beare Road;
b. explore the potential to advance rapid surface transit on Steeles Avenue East in association with the widening;
c. develop an inter-regional approach to widening Steeles Avenue East and identify potential funding sources; and,
d. report back with recommendations to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee in April 2025.
The employment and residential areas surrounding Steeles Avenue East continue to experience growth, in both the City of Toronto and surrounding municipalities. In recent years, vacant lands along the south side of Steeles Avenue East have been developed for employment purposes bringing thousands of new employees which has increased traffic volumes on Steeles Avenue East. There are also regional development pressures east of Toronto’s boundaries that will have further traffic impacts.
\r\n
This growth is expected to continue and Steeles Avenue East has been identified as a Higher Order Transit Connection in provincial plans, including Metrolinx's 2041 Regional Transportation Plan, and the City of Toronto’s Official Plan in response to this growth.
The need to widen Steeles Avenue East dates back to the late 1980s when the province's \"Highway 407 Overview Study\" identified the need to upgrade the TorontoYork-Durham road infrastructure. In 1990, recognizing the inter-regional function that Steeles Avenue East has for the Cities of Toronto, Pickering, and Markham, the province committed funding to widen this segment of road.
In 1993, the province approved the City of Toronto's Environmental Assessment that studied the widening of Steeles Avenue East from Tapscott Road to Pickering Town Line from two to four vehicular lanes. The easternmost portion, from Beare Road to Pickering Town Line, was widened before the province withdrew its funding in 1996. Since 2015, the City of Toronto has been advancing design for the portion between Tapscott Road and Ninth Line, with construction targeted to start as early as 2026.
This motion requests the formation of a working group to identify opportunities to advance the widening of the remaining segment, between Ninth Line and Beare Road.
\r\n
Steeles Avenue East is a vital arterial road in Scarborough and a critical link between East Scarborough and York and Durham Regions. A widened Steeles Avenue East would facilitate rapid surface transit in the future and ease congestion by providing better mobility for residents and employers throughout the region.
\r\n
The recognition of Steeles Avenue East as an important regional corridor, and the openness to cooperation and partnership is highlighted in the letters of support from the City of Pickering and the City of Markham appended to this recommendation.
The Infrastructure and Environment Committee recommends that:
\r\n\r\n
1. City Council request the City Manager establish a working group with representatives from the City of Toronto, City of Pickering, City of Markham, Parks Canada, and Metrolinx to:

Councillor Chris Moise recommends that:
\r\n\r\n
1. City Council endorse \"Growing with the City: An Ecosystem of Initiatives for Allan Gardens\" as an addendum to the \"Refresh: A Vision Document for Allan Gardens\" as adopted by City Council in 2018.
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council request the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to consult with the Friends of Allan Gardens and other key community stakeholders to advance and prioritize the initiatives outlined in “Growing with the City”.
\r\n\r\n
3. City Council acknowledge the ongoing work of Friends of Allan Gardens, and request the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, along with other relevant divisions, to continue to work with the Friends of Allan Gardens to prioritise any Council-approved projects as funding and other operational resources become available.
\r\n\r\n
4. City Council request the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to prioritise the pending Management Agreement with Friends of Allan Gardens and Parks, Forestry and Recreation (IE31.6) and to waive applicable permit fees for community-based events led by Friends of Allan Gardens in Allan Gardens and on adjacent parkland.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The Friends of Allan Gardens (“FOAG”) is a volunteer-based and registered charitable organisation working to imagine and lead the revitalization of Allan Gardens. Friends of Allan Gardens facilitates public programming focusing on conservation and stewardship and celebrating horticulture, urban agriculture, and the natural environment. Friends of Allan Gardens operates out of the historic Children's Conservatory, Propagation House, and the new Teaching Garden, which it manages on behalf of the City of Toronto.
\r\n\r\n
Over the past years, Friends of Allan Gardens has positioned itself as a key stakeholder, playing an active role in the diverse social network that connects, integrates, shares resources and improves the resilience and the vitality of the community. In 2022, City Council directed the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation to enter into a management agreement and a fundraising agreement with Friends of Allan Gardens to keep with their original visioning document \"Refresh\". This document has since been updated, the updated vision, Growing with the City (Fall 2023), highlights an ecosystem of initiatives that allows the park to evolve and grow, linked to the larger city. Working transparently and collaboratively with the community, through innovative partnerships and pilot projects, they work towards transforming the park into \"a community centre without walls\".
\r\n\r\n
Since 2021, Friends of Allan Gardens has expanded its programming to include arts and culture, concerts and music, and family activities including the Mudday Morning program and craft sessions. From September 2023 to August 2024, Friends of Allan Gardens has led over 200 programs, engaging over 10,000 people, including both public participants and volunteers. Audience demographics range from children and caregivers, Toronto residents, visitors, students, gardening enthusiasts of all ages, and more. Event attendance ranges from 75 to 1000 people.
\r\n\r\n
Various community members, particularly families, have expressed a need and want to access the park. Allan Gardens is still experiencing the aftermath of COVID-19. While some community activity has rebounded after the pandemic, the community network is still fragmented with isolated events. Friends of Allan Gardens plays an important role in engaging the local neighbourhoods and diverse populations by providing unique and accessible programming in the historic Children’s Conservatory, recently expanded Teaching Garden, and North Lawn.
\r\n\r\n
In early 2024, Friends of Allan Gardens received a City of Toronto Main Street Innovation Fund grant of $50,000 to activate Allan Gardens. The initial pitch focused on a Winter / Off Season Farmers’ Market, paired with complementary programming. This initiative has recently evolved into a Community Market Series, a weekly Saturday activation. The Community Market Series will play an important role in social and economic life by establishing links between residents and small businesses, flowing more money into the local economy, and showcasing the abundance of products, at the same time activating the park.
\r\n\r\n
In order to meaningfully activate Allan Gardens over the next year, Friends of Allan Gardens is requesting permit fees be waived for their park programming until the pending management agreement is signed. This will assist Friends of Allan Gardens in activating the park. The General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation does not have the delegated authority to waive permit fees. Therefore, this Motion is requesting the necessary authority from City Council. This will provide the flexibility and capacity to be able to appropriately activate the park with a variety of programs in a timely manner.
\r\n\r\n
Friends of Allan Gardens's activations will provide opportunities for the diverse local community to come together, enjoy the park, and participate in unique programming. All events will be free to the public. Events will fall into three categories: Recurring Events like the Community Market Series, Single Day Events, and Passive Ongoing Activations.

","financialImpactWep":"The City Planning Division confirms there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in the report in the current budget year or in future years. 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 528 (OPA 528), which amends the City's Official Plan policies to specify limited exemptions when the sale or disposal of City-owned lands in Parks and Open Space Areas, within or outside of the Green Space System, may be permitted without the requirement of an Official Plan Amendment (OPA). The purpose and intent of Official Plan Amendment 528 is to facilitate conservation projects and essential public works and utilities that support Toronto's development and growth, provided certain criteria are met.
\r\n\r\n
An associated amendment to Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 213 is also recommended. As recommended, Official Plan Amendment 528 will not revoke Council's current disposal framework contained in the City's Municipal Code, but rather will prescribe narrow circumstances under which a site-specific Official Plan Amendment is not needed.
\r\n\r\n
Lands in the Parks and Open Space Areas of the Official Plan, within or outside of the Green Space System, accommodate natural habitat areas, important ecological services and many of the City's recreational opportunities. They are essential to health, prosperity, and quality of life in our City and receive a high level of protection in the Official Plan.
\r\n\r\n
In the Official Plan, the City's Green Space System is made up of lands in Parks and Open Space Areas, much of the natural heritage system, and a variety of privately managed but publicly accessible spaces. Parks and Open Space Areas policies, which govern the Parks, Other Open Space Areas, and Natural Areas land-use designations, prohibit development within Parks and Open Space Areas, except for a limited list of uses, including conservation projects and essential public works and utilities. However, the Official Plan does not allow City-owned lands in Parks and Open Space Areas to be sold or disposed of by the City, except where the City-owned land is exchanged for nearby land of equal or greater size and comparable or superior green space utility.
\r\n\r\n
This means that although certain land uses are permitted in Parks and Open Space Areas, such as conservation projects and essential public works and utilities, the enabling transaction to allow the sale or disposal of the land is prohibited and requires a site-specific Official Plan Amendment to proceed.
\r\n\r\n
In Toronto's Municipal Code, the sale or disposal of land includes granting either a fee simple interest or a leasehold or easement interest for a term longer than 21 years. Chapter 213 of the Municipal Code requires that land be declared surplus prior to its sale or disposal. Official Plan Amendment 528 is intended to work together with the City's current disposal framework in Chapter 213 of the Municipal Code and provide a mechanism to allow transactions for specific types of projects to proceed without the requirement for a site-specific Official Plan Amendment.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends a balanced approach that would allow the sale or disposal to proceed without site-specific Official Plan Amendments in certain circumstances, provided:
\r\n\r\n
1. the sale or disposal is to a public agency to undertake conservation projects; or
\r\n2. the sale or disposal is an easement to facilitate essential underground public works and utilities, including alternative energy systems; and
\r\nThe recommended amendment is technical in nature and seeks to reduce redundancy in the current process without changing policy direction or intent. Site-specific Official Plan Amendments would still be required for the sale or disposal of City-owned land in Parks and Open Space Areas related to all other project types, including public transit projects. This report does not propose changes to the City's current disposal framework set out in the Municipal Code beyond specifying limited exceptions where a site-specific Official Plan Amendment is not required, and this report will not result in the declaration of any City-owned lands as surplus.
\r\n\r\n
This report proposes an amendment to Chapter 213 of the Municipal Code, Real Property, to add a new General Condition in Appendix B (Attachment 3). This new General Condition will make authority to approve a sale or disposal of land in the Parks and Open Space Areas of the Official Plan conditional upon either a site-specific Official Plan Amendment being in force that exempts the lands from the prohibition on sale or disposal, or confirmation from the Chief Planner and Executive Director of City Planning and the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation that the proposed sale or disposal satisfies Policy 4.3.9 of the Official Plan.

","agendaItemSummary":"On an ongoing basis, the City rectifies technical errors to the text and mapping of Zoning By-law 569-2013.
\r\n\r\n
This report proposes technical amendments to Zoning By-law 569-2013 to correct cross references and typographical errors. Technical amendments are proposed to clarify an outdoor patio may be combined with an eating establishment in the open space golf course and marina zones. In response to a zoning enquiry by the owner of 244 Virginia Avenue, the lands are added to Zoning By-law 569-2013 to confirm its residential zoning.
\r\n\r\n
For By-law 1154-2023 relating to outdoor patios located on private property that prevail over the former municipal zoning by-laws, a typographical error is corrected by separating a regulation into two regulations.
\r\n\r\n
On May 22, 2024, City Council adopted By-law 499-2024 to amend the Municipal Code Chapter 415, Development of Land, and Chapter 169, City Officials, to delegate authority to approve technical amendments to Zoning By-law 569-2013 to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning or their designate, as identified in Section 5.1.10 of the Official Plan. A process to implement delegated authority is currently underway but is not yet in place.
\r\n\r\n
All proposed revisions are in keeping with Council's intentions when first approved by Council, and do not affect the substance of the by-laws.

","agendaItemSummary":"This report reviews and recommends approval of a City-initiated Zoning By-law amendment to permit a 4-storey residential apartment building with 78 new affordable rental dwelling units with supports at 35 Bellevue Avenue in the Kensington Market neighbourhood. The proposal is to replace an existing surface parking lot and add a mass timber building designed to have net zero greenhouse gas emissions, and will meet or exceed the Toronto Green Standard Version 4.
\r\n\r\n
This project is one of five being delivered under a new Public Developer model, whereby the City retains ownership of its lands and is taking a more direct and intentional approach to the delivery of non-market homes that are affordable to low-and-moderate-income residents. Additionally, this project will support the City in delivering a full range of housing opportunities in line with the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (\"HousingTO Plan\") target of approving 65,000 rent-controlled homes, including 18,000 supportive homes, within complete communities.
\r\n\r\n
Approval of the recommendations in this report will enable the City to move quickly to start construction on this project by the end of 2024 and ensure residents can move into new homes by the end of 2025. Once completed, the building will offer 78 rent-geared-to-income and supportive homes to be operated by the Kensington Market Community Land Trust (KMCLT) in partnership with St Clare's Multifaith Housing Society (St Clare's), who has been selected as the not-for-profit housing provider for the site.

","financialImpactWep":"Delivery of the HousingTO Plan
\r\n\r\n
In November 2023, through EX9.3, the City adopted an increase to the HousingTO Plan’s housing approval targets and the costing associated with these increased housing targets. This report highlighted the urgent need for increased federal and provincial actions to increase purpose-built rental housing supply, with a focus on affordable rental homes.
\r\n\r\n
As outlined in EX9.3, the successful implementation of the HousingTO Plan is estimated to cost all three orders of government approximately $44.4 to $47 billion. This includes $31.6 to $33 billion in contribution and funding and $12.8 to $14 billion in repayable loans and financing.
\r\n\r\n
Since the launch of the HousingTO Plan, all orders of government have made contributions towards its delivery. The breakdown of commitments to-date as well as outstanding investments are as follows:
\r\nFederal and provincial governments made significant investments towards the new supply of affordable rental homes in 2023:
\r\nThe City is investing these funds through programs including the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition, Rental Housing Supply, and supportive housing programs that aim to protect existing supply of homes and increase net new homes delivered on City, private and non-profit lands.
\r\n\r\n
In spite of these investments, there continues to be inadequate financial support in the form of capital funding, low-cost financing and public land to build a new supply of homes, and insufficient operating funding to lower the cost of rent and provide wrap-around support services for residents. These enhanced investments are particularly needed to help the City make meaningful progress in meeting the following targets that are currently behind schedule, including:
\r\nAdditionally, increasing social assistance rates along with increased investments in mental health and addictions services, enhanced resources for community and primary health care providers, new and sustainable funding to ensure availability of appropriate harm reduction and overdose prevention services are critical to complement investments in housing solutions.

United Way of Greater Toronto Donation to the City of Toronto
\r\n\r\n
This report seeks approval from City Council to accept a donation in the amount of $120,000 and enter into a donor agreement with United Way of Greater Toronto, a registered charity, to provide kitchen equipment at the new modular supportive housing building at 90 Dunn Avenue. The value of this donation exceeds the $50,000 threshold for donation acceptance under the Donations to the City of Toronto for Community Benefits Policy. As a result, City Council approval is required to accept this donation.
\r\n\r\n
The donated funds will be used for one-time contribution towards the development of 90 Dunn Avenue and will not create any future year pressure on the City. The proposed changes are not included in the Housing Secretariat’s 2024 proposed budget.
\r\n\r\n
City staff will submit a request for an in-year adjustment through the next 2024 Operating Variance report.
\r\nFinancial Incentives for New Affordable Rental Homes in Downsview
\r\n\r\n
In May 2024, City Council adopted the \"Update Downsview Plan: Secondary Plan, Zoning By-law, Urban Design Guidelines and Master Environmental Servicing Plan\" as a comprehensive planning framework for the Downsview area to guide development of resilient, sustainable and equitable complete communities.
\r\n\r\n
The Downsview Secondary Plan facilitates a significant amount of new housing – including affordable housing – that contributes to achieving the City’s housing targets, as well as employment growth that contributes to the local and regional economy.
\r\n\r\n
Canada Lands Company, a self-financing federal Crown corporation specializing in real estate and development, is planning to deliver approximately 2,560 affordable rental homes at Downsview West and Arbo (William Baker), exceeding its affordable housing requirements under the Downsview Secondary Plan (see Figure 1).
\r\n\r\n
Through this report, City staff are requesting Council authorization to enter into an Memorandum of Understanding with Parc Downsview Park Incorporated, a subsidiary of Canada Lands Company, to support the delivery of the affordable housing outcomes in Downsview. This is a unique partnership opportunity for the City and Canada Lands Company to advance a public developer model on federally-owned lands.
\r\n\r\n
As part of the Memorandum of Understanding, and in order to achieve these affordable housing outcomes, Canada Lands Company is requesting a waiver of planning application and building permit fees for these affordable rental homes from the City. The value of these incentives is estimated at $5.3 million. The waivers are not a direct payment from the City but rather forgone revenues.
\r\n\r\n
| \r\n Affordable Rental Homes \r\n | \r\n\r\n Estimated Affordability Period \r\n | \r\n\r\n Estimated Planning Application Fees \r\n | \r\n\r\n Estimated Building Permit Fees \r\n | \r\n\r\n Estimated Total \r\n | \r\n
| \r\n 2,560 \r\n | \r\n\r\n 49 years \r\n | \r\n\r\n $2,195,428 \r\n | \r\n\r\n $3,094,180 \r\n | \r\n\r\n $5,289,608 \r\n | \r\n
\r\n
Additionally, these affordable rental homes, which also meet the provincial definition of affordable residential units as outlined under the Development Charges Act, 1997, are eligible for waivers of Development Charges, Community Benefit Charges and Parkland Dedication requirements as required under Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23).
\r\n\r\n
Bill 23 and other recent provincial legislation (including Bill 108, More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 and Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022) have negatively impacted the City's key tools and programs for creating new housing.
\r\n\r\n
In the absence of the City being fully reimbursed by the province for the lost revenues as a result of Bill 23, and without new financial and policy tools, the City is at risk of not being able to provide the services essential to support growth even in the short term, and deliver existing housing programs necessary to scale up supply and respond to the needs of residents, and plan for complete communities.
\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 is facing housing and homelessness crises - one where rising rents are creating unaffordable conditions for middle-income earners to live and work in the city; while a second crisis is due to a lack of deeply affordable and supportive homes for those with low-incomes, or who are experiencing homelessness, and often physical, mental health and/or addiction challenges. These crises are being driven by factors that range from inadequate housing supply, low wages and social assistance rates that have not kept pace with the rising cost of living, and structural inequities that disproportionately impact Indigenous, Black, and other racialized groups.
\r\n\r\n
As noted in the Perspective on the Rental Housing Roundtable report, these intersecting but separate crises require different policy solutions. The City of Toronto and its partners are taking a range of actions across the housing continuum that are guided by the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (\"HousingTO Plan\") and the Housing Action Plan (2022-2026). Together, these plans provide a blueprint for comprehensive action that is rooted in the Toronto Housing Charter - Opportunity for All which recognizes that all orders of government, including municipalities have a role to play in furthering the progressive realization of the right to adequate housing that is affirmed in international law.
\r\n\r\n
City Council, through EX9.3 - Generational Transformation of Toronto’s Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes, directed staff to combine the annual update reports for the HousingTO Plan and Housing Action Plan. This report, along with Attachment 1, provide an overview of the progress made in 2023 in implementing these housing plans through five key areas:
\r\nBuilding upon the progress made in 2023, the City is advancing transformative initiatives that will further support these objectives including establishing the new Rental Housing Supply Program (RHSP), the Community Housing Sector Modernization and Growth Strategy and developing the City’s first Renovictions By-law. This report also emphasizes the priority actions being taken by the City throughout 2024 to continue making progress towards these objectives.
\r\n\r\n
This report also seeks authority to advance a number of critical partnerships that will further enable the City to deliver more affordable housing and support services for residents:
\r\nAs outlined in this report, the City and its community partners continue to invest the greatest effort and resources towards addressing the housing crises. While municipal and community action are important to meet the objectives the City's HousingTO Plan and Housing Action Plan, action and increased investment by federal and provincial governments are required to make transformative improvements to housing outcomes for Toronto residents.
\r\n\r\n
The 2023 Housing Update Report is prepared by the Housing Secretariat with input from various City divisions and agencies including: City Planning, CreateTO, Environment and Energy, Financial Planning, the Indigenous Affairs Office, the Office of Strategic Partnerships, Municipal Licensing and Standards, Seniors Services and Long-Term Care, Toronto Shelter and Support Services, Social Development, Finance and Administration, Strategic Public and Employee Communications, Toronto Building, and Toronto Community Housing Corporation.

These potential impacts will be evaluated as part of future reports and Housing Secretariat and TCHC annual budget requests.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as identified in this Financial Impact section.
","agendaItemSummary":"Toronto is Canada’s largest and most diverse city, and home to over 476,000 seniors and over 570,000 people with disabilities. While Toronto is facing a housing and homelessness crisis impacting residents across the City, individuals with disabilities face additional barriers to accessing housing that is affordable, accessible, and livable. These challenges include a shortage of housing options that allow safe and independent living for residents with diverse abilities, inconsistent standards and requirements for accessibility across government programs, and a lack of universal design features that accommodate diverse needs.
\r\n\r\n
In 2019 City Council adopted the Toronto Housing Charter and the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan, and committed the City to furthering the progressive realization of the right to adequate housing. This approach is grounded in the principle of all residents having a right to housing that is accessible and takes into account the specific needs of historically disadvantaged and marginalized groups. A human rights-based approach also engages and empowers rights-holders in the process to identify and/or implement the actions required to address barriers. The HousingTO Action Plan outlined Strategic Priorities and Actions, including to develop interventions that will improve housing outcomes for specific populations, including people with disabilities.
\r\n\r\n
To advance this priority, in 2020 City Council directed the City to establish a working group consisting of community members and advocates with lived experience in accessibility, staff from the Housing Secretariat, City Planning, Toronto Building, CreateTO and stakeholders from the development industry, to explore the feasibility of increasing the percentage of accessible units and incorporating universal design features for new housing development projects part of the City's Housing Now Initiative. The Accessible Housing Working Group (AHWG) was formed to advance this mandate. In 2022, City Council expanded the working group’s scope beyond Housing Now to include other accessible housing-related matters.
\r\n\r\n
The AHWG has met over 25 times since being established in 2021 to undertake analysis and provide advice to the City, including reviewing existing technical standards for accessibility included in the Ontario Building Code and the City's Affordable Housing Design Guidelines, as well as to conduct assessments of the various industry standards that exist for accessibility. The knowledge and insights of the AHWG members have been instrumental in identifying opportunities to improve the accessibility and livability of new homes, the existing barriers faced by Toronto residents with disabilities in accessing affordable rental housing, as well as actions that the City could take to increase accessibility in the City's existing rental housing stock.
\r\n\r\n
The recommendations in this report were developed in close consultation with the AHWG, who led the process of shaping them. The AHWG provided analysis and advice through information sessions and workshops, with a membership that grew from the original 13 members to include over 45 of the industry's most prominent accessibility experts, advocates, stakeholders, and builders. Out of these sessions, seven recommendations have emerged that seek to align Toronto with leading Canadian and global cities in their approach to accessible housing. Principally, these recommendations will improve housing outcomes for Toronto residents with disabilities by:
\r\nAs Toronto's population continues to age, the need for rental housing that is both accessible and affordable will continue to grow. Taking action to improve the accessibility of new and existing homes respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities will help enhance independence, quality of life and equitable outcomes for residents with disabilities. In addition, this work will support the City in furthering the progressive realization of the right to adequate housing.
\r\n\r\n
While Toronto takes action, the insufficient rates of social assistance available through the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) remains a core barrier preventing low-income Torontonians with disabilities from being able to afford an accessible home. The level of financial support provided by ODSP has not kept up with the rising costs of living. In 2023, the average market rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Toronto was $1,708, and actual asking rents for vacant apartments were much higher. Meanwhile, a single person receiving ODSP is provided $556 per month for shelter costs. This report recommends Council reiterate its many previous requests that the Government of Ontario improve the adequacy and structure of social assistance programs so recipients are able to meet their basic needs including the high cost of housing in Toronto.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"City Council on June 26 and 27, 2024 referred Motion MM19.19 to the Planning and Housing Committee for consideration.
\r\n
Lead poisoning poses a serious risk to the wellbeing of Torontonians, especially children and people who are pregnant. Exposure to even small amounts of lead can impede kids’ ability to learn, cause adults nerve and brain damage, and lead to miscarriages. In Toronto, upwards of 20,000 households have City-owned lead water services pipes, and likely more have privately-owned lead pipes, from which lead can leach into drinking water.
\r\n
Through the Priority Lead Water Service Replacement Program and Capital Water Service Replacement Program, the City of Toronto has taken important steps to eliminate lead pipes. However, landlords currently have no obligation to replace dangerous lead pipes on their properties, nor inform potentially vulnerable tenants that they are present.
\r\n\r\n
Tenants must not be kept in the dark. This motion seeks to protect tenants, especially those who are pregnant or have young children, by requesting that staff investigate requiring landlords to inspect their property for lead pipes, disclose the presence of lead pipes if they are found, and take action to prevent lead poisoning, either by replacing the pipes or providing their tenants with a high-quality filter. Currently, the City of Toronto provides a rebate for these filters for families with young children or pregnant women who earn under $50,000 – a lead poisoning prevention By-law would protect the right of every tenant to clean water while minimizing expense to the City.
\r\n\r\n
Implementing this By-law would make Toronto a leader in lead poisoning prevention as one of the first cities in Canada to require both disclosure and mitigation or replacement of lead pipes. However, the By-law would not be unprecedented – the Regina, Saskatchewan City Council approved requiring property owners to replace the private portion of lead water pipes in conjunction with city repairs when they take place in 2021.

","agendaItemSummary":"An application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law 569-2013 has been submitted for the development of a 30-storey residential building with a five-storey base building, containing 403 rental dwelling units and a daycare facility (the “proposal”) at 3400 Weston Road and 2405 Finch Avenue West (“subject lands”). Two existing 26-storey apartment buildings, containing 517 rental dwelling units, are proposed to be retained. The proposed daycare facility is to be relocated from the existing building at 2405 Finch Avenue West. The proposal would add a total gross floor area of 31,915 square metres and result in a Floor Space Index (“FSI”) of 2.73 times the area of the lot. A total of 938 parking spaces, distributed on surface and multiple underground levels, are to be provided for both the proposed and existing buildings.
\r\n\r\n
The subject lands are designated as Apartment Neighbourhoods and are located within the Emery Village Secondary Plan of the Official Plan. The subject lands are also within a Council-adopted Protected Major Transit Station Area (“PMTSA”) for Emery Station on the Finch West Light Rapid Transit (“LRT”) line; however, the associated Site and Area Specific Policy for the Protected Major Transit Station Area is yet to be approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
\r\n\r\n
The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (“PPS”) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2019, as amended (“Growth Plan”).
\r\n\r\n
The report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013.

","agendaItemSummary":"The applications propose to develop four residential towers ranging from 40 to 53 storeys (174 metres, 162 metres, 153 metres, and 135 metres, all inclusive of mechanical penthouse) , adding approximately 2,536 new residential units. The proposed residential gross floor area (GFA) will be 139,544 square metres and will provide 760 new vehicular parking spaces, of which 32 are visitor parking spaces and 43 are barrier free parking spaces, and 2,542 bicycle spaces on site. The proposal includes a new public park with an area of 2,823 square metres at the centre of the development. The proposal would maintain the existing buildings with a total of 562 rental dwelling units as rental housing for 20 years, provide on-site building improvements and access to new outdoor amenity areas for existing tenants.
\r\n\r\n
The proposal has been reviewed against the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) (2020), the Growth Plan (2020), and the Toronto Official Plan. Staff are of the opinion that the proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with the Growth Plan (2020). Furthermore, the proposal is in keeping with the intent of the Toronto Official Plan, particularly as it relates to development in Apartment Neighbourhoods.
\r\n\r\n
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The proposed development represents appropriate intensification, maintains the existing rental units, and provides for new public facilities, including a new park and mid-block connections.

\r\n\r\n
a. The Community Benefits recommended to be secured in the Section 37 Agreement are as follows:
\r\n\r\n
1. Prior to issuance of the first above grade building permit, the Owner shall pay to the City a cash payment of eight hundred thirty-two thousand dollars ($832,000) to be secured towards the improvement of an existing park in the area as identified by the Parks Forestry and Recreation Facilities Master Plan, public art on-site, and streetscape improvements to the south of the subject property allowing for a zebra crosswalk on East Haven Drive to be determined by the Executive Director, Development Review Division and the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, in consultation with the Ward Councillor;

","financialImpactWep":"The Development Review Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.
","agendaItemSummary":"This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the development of a 13-storey mixed use building at 2257 Kingston Road.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed building would have a total gross floor area of 24,825.5 square metres and would contain 321 dwelling units fronting Kingston Road, resulting in a Floor Space Index of 5.90 times the lot area.
\r\n\r\n
The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). It adds to the range and mix of residential units available in a compact form while maintaining a portion of the non-residential gross floor area that is currently on the subject property.
\r\n\r\n
The proposal conforms with the Official Plan, as it intensifies a site designated Mixed Use Areas in a way that is compatible with the existing and planned context. It provides the necessary transition to adjacent low-scale land uses while introducing additional housing options within a contextually appropriate built form. The proposal is consistent with the goals of the Kingston Road (Cliffside Village) Avenue Study which introduced a Commercial-Residential (CR) zone to the Cliffside Village Kingston Road corridor in 2009 to facilitate intensification.
\r\n\r\n
Through revisions to the proposal, the applicant has increased the amount of non-residential floor area. As prescribed by the in-force Zoning By-law for the Cliffside Village area, it is recommended that a contribution of $832,000 be secured towards parkland improvements in the area as identified by the Parks Forestry and Recreation Facilities Master Plan, public art on-site, and streetscape improvements to the south of the subject property allowing for a zebra crosswalk on East Haven Drive.
\r\n\r\n
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

\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":"Highland Creek Village is located in south-east Scarborough. The Village was one of the first neighbourhoods established in Scarborough. Today there is a mix of commercial, residential and institutional uses in the Village. There are a number of active development applications in the area, primarily along Old Kingston/Kingston Road and Military Trail presenting opportunities to secure some transportation improvements in the area through the development review process.
\r\n\r\n
The area’s transportation network consists of highways/expressways as well as arterial, collector and local roads, bounded on the south and north by Highway 2A and Kingston Road/ Old Kingston Road respectively, and between Military Trail in the west and Meadowvale Road in the east. Key issues with the transportation network include:
\r\nIn 2012, City Council directed Transportation Services to undertake an Environmental Assessment (EA) / Transportation Master Plan (TMP) in the area as part of its decision on the Highland Creek Village Area Study (Area Study) - Final Report to review the feasibility of changes to the area’s transportation network.
\r\n\r\n
At its May 5 and 6, 2021 meeting, City Council endorsed the preferred street, pedestrian, and cycling network solutions associated with the Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan study and authorized the General Manager, Transportation Services to prepare the Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan based on the preferred street, cycling and pedestrian network solutions and issue the Notice of Completion.
\r\n\r\n
City Council also directed the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to prepare an Official Plan Amendment to reflect the planned right-of-way widths and new street connections associated with the Transportation Master Plan (TMP).
\r\n\r\n
This report outlines the necessary amendments to the Official Plan that result from the recently completed and approved Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan (HCV TMP) study. The associated transportation improvements will be vital in helping achieve the overall planning objectives for the area. The attached draft Official Plan Amendment, which includes changes to Official Plan Map 3 (Right-of-Way Widths Associated with Existing Major Streets), Schedules 1 (Existing Minor Streets with Right-of-Way Widths Greater than 20 Metres) and 2 (The Designation of Planned but Unbuilt Roads), as well as to the Highland Creek Community Secondary Plan, implement the findings of the Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan.
\r\n\r\n
This report also includes a summary of the outcomes of the recently completed and approved Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan undertaken under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process to consider transportation and servicing infrastructure needs in the Highland Creek Village area to support its current and longer-term redevelopment. Additional objectives included creating a balanced multi-modal transportation network, attracting investment to the community and improving the area’s various streetscapes, consistent with the vision for the area.
\r\n\r\n
The Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan's preferred solution provides a continuous, multi-modal transportation network that accommodates all users and will support reinvestment of City-owned land for public objectives once the Highland Creek Overpass is removed.
\r\n\r\n
The transportation network, streetscape and sidewalk improvements associated with the preferred solution provide a positive environment for pedestrians, support the City’s cycling network, and provide new bus routing opportunities for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). The preferred solution includes a number of improvements to the street network in the area including new signalized intersections, the widening of the Military Trail right-of-way to accommodate dedicated active transportation infrastructure, as well as the implementation of larger infrastructure projects, such as the removal of the Highland Creek Overpass and the conversion of Highway 2A between Lawson Road and Highland Creek to an arterial road. The more complex projects would require completion of additional phases of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, before confirming if they should proceed to detailed design and construction.
\r\n\r\n
The primary capital costs for the City could include improvements to Military Trail ($4.2 million), including potential signalization at Highway 2A and the potential dismantling of the Highland Creek Overpass ($7.5 million). As the Highland Creek Overpass was last reconstructed in 2000, and its service life is expected to continue to at least 2028 and beyond, it is not proposed for the City to make changes to this structure over the short-term, but rather to plan for its potential removal in the long-term. Regarding the improvements to the intersection of Military Trail and Highway 2A, it is important to note that the City is working to secure them through area development.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends the approval of an Official Plan amendment that is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms with the Growth Plan. Approval of the Official Plan Amendment will enable the improvements identified in the preferred solution to be implemented and advance the Transportation Master Plan’s preferred solution of a multi-modal transportation network in Highland Creek Village.

","financialImpactWep":"There is no financial impact to the City. Windmill Developments is responsible for all costs, including payment of fees to the City for the occupancy of the right-of-way. Based on the area enclosed and projected duration of the proposed closures on Kingston Road and Courcelette Road, these fees will be approximately $99,000.00.
","agendaItemSummary":"As Kingston Road is classified as a major arterial roadway, City Council approval of this report is required.
\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.
\r\n\r\n
City Council, at its meeting on July 24 and 25, 2024, authorized the subject construction staging areas, from June 27, 2024, to September 15, 2024. The developer originally requested the subject construction staging areas for a period of 11 months, ending on June 30, 2025. However, at the time of the report, the developer had planned to modify the construction staging area, as well as implement signal timing changes to address safety concerns and traffic congestion. Consequently, City Council only authorized the construction staging area for a two month period and directed Transportation Services to report back on the effectiveness of the aforementioned measures.
\r\n\r\n
Based on further review, the additional traffic mitigation measures are satisfactory. As such, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging areas on Kingston Road and Courcelette Road for a period of seven and nine months, respectively.

The site contains Spadina Gardens, a four-and-a-half-storey Edwardian Classical Style apartment building.

Located on the southeast corner of Richmond Street East and Berkeley Street, the subject site contains two heritage properties designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value. Constructed in 1881, 111 Berkeley Street contains a two-and-a half-storey Bay-and-Gable style semi-detached house-form building with fine Gothic Revival styling and details. The adjacent house-form building at 115 Berkeley Street, flanking Richmond Street East, represents a rare, surviving pre-Confederation era residence completed in 1845 by local brick mason, builder and City Councilman, Sheldon Ward.
\r\n\r\n
On December 22, 2023, a Zoning By-law Amendment application was made to permit a new 45-storey mixed use building on the subject site. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), prepared by MacNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson Planning Urban Design & Landscape Architecture (MHBC), dated October 2023 and revised May 31, 2024, was submitted to support the development application. The proposed alterations conserve the onsite and adjacent heritage buildings and are consistent with the existing policy framework.

\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, demolition and new construction under Part V Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act proposed for the heritage properties at 296-300 King Street East and 56-60 Berkeley Street in connection with the redevelopment of the site. The site is located within the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (SLHCD) which is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act.
\r\n\r\n
The properties at 298-300 King Street East (which includes 56 Berkeley Street) are identified as contributing, with attributes that characterize the commercial warehouse typology in the District. The properties at 296 King Street East and 58-60 Berkeley Street are identified as non-contributing in the SLHCD Plan. The adjacent properties at 528 Adelaide Street East and 70 Berkeley Street, and 359-361 King Street East and 54 Berkeley Street are also identified as contributing properties in the SLHCD Plan.
\r\n\r\n
On November 9, 2021, the City received Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications related to the proposed development of the subject properties to permit a 34-storey mixed use building with 1,188 square metres of commercial uses and 364 residential units.
\r\n\r\n
On September 26, 2022, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) due to Council not making a decision within the time frame prescribed in the Planning Act. Revised plans have been submitted by the applicant with prejudice, as reflected in this report.
\r\n\r\n
On June 18, 2024, the applicant submitted revised plans and an application under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act to alter the on-site heritage resources, erect a new building on the property and demolish select attributes, with conditions, to allow for the construction of a new mixed-use building within a designated Heritage Conservation District (HCD).
\r\n\r\n
The proposal involves retaining the contributing buildings at 298-300 King Street East in situ and removing the later one-and-a-half storey rear addition on the north elevation at 300 King Street East. The remaining building fabric, including the buildings on the non-contributing properties, is proposed to be removed to accommodate new construction. The new construction is comprised of a 46-storey tower to the north of the retained buildings, a one-and-a-half storey 5.9 metre tall infill component at 296 King Street East and a three-storey podium and streetwall along Berkeley Street. The tower component is set back from the retained buildings by 15.1 metres and cantilevers approximately two metres over the retained buildings at the sixth-floor level, with three stepbacks from King Street East.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development is consistent with the existing provincial and municipal policy framework and proposes an overall conservation strategy that is consistent with the SLHCD Plan and not contrary to the Plan’s Objectives.

\r\n\r\n
Summary from the revised report (September 16, 2024) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations, demolition and new construction under Part V Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act proposed for the heritage properties at 296-300 King Street East and 56-60 Berkeley Street in connection with the redevelopment of the site. The site is located within the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (SLHCD) which is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act.
\r\n\r\n
The properties at 298-300 King Street East (which includes 56 Berkeley Street) are identified as contributing, with attributes that characterize the commercial warehouse typology in the District. The properties at 296 King Street East and 58-60 Berkeley Street are identified as non-contributing in the SLHCD Plan. The adjacent properties at 528 Adelaide Street East and 70 Berkeley Street, and 359-361 King Street East and 54 Berkeley Street are also identified as contributing properties in the SLHCD Plan.
\r\n\r\n
On November 9, 2021, the City received Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications related to the proposed development of the subject properties to permit a 34-storey mixed use building with 1,188 square metres of commercial uses and 364 residential units.
\r\n\r\n
On September 26, 2022, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) due to Council not making a decision within the time frame prescribed in the Planning Act. Revised plans have been submitted by the applicant with prejudice, as reflected in this report.
\r\n\r\n
On June 18, 2024, the applicant submitted revised plans and an application under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act to alter the on-site heritage resources, erect a new building on the property and demolish select attributes, with conditions, to allow for the construction of a new mixed-use building within a designated Heritage Conservation District (HCD).
\r\n\r\n
The proposal involves retaining the contributing buildings at 298-300 King Street East in situ and removing the later one-and-a-half storey rear addition on the north elevation at 300 King Street East. The remaining building fabric, including the buildings on the non-contributing properties, is proposed to be removed to accommodate new construction. The new construction is comprised of a 46-storey tower to the north of the retained buildings, a one-and-a-half storey 5.9 metre tall infill component at 296 King Street East and a three-storey podium and streetwall along Berkeley Street. The tower component is set back from the retained buildings by 15.1 metres and cantilevers approximately two metres over the retained buildings at the sixth-floor level, with three stepbacks from King Street East.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development is consistent with the existing provincial and municipal policy framework and proposes an overall conservation strategy that is consistent with the SLHCD Plan and not contrary to the Plan’s Objectives.

\r\n\r\n
Summary from the report (August 28, 2024) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the heritage buildings 570, 572, 574, 576 Sherbourne Street, and 37 Linden Street (formerly 578 Sherbourne Street) and the removal of the heritage building on the property at 29 Linden Street, all designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
\r\n\r\n
The development application proposes a 69-storey tower (plus a mechanical penthouse) on the site that incorporates retained portions of the heritage buildings as part of the base building at the corner of Sherbourne Street and Linden Street. The facades, portions of their return walls at the north and south ends, and significant portions of their gabled roofs of 570, 572, 574, 576 Sherbourne Street, and 37 Linden Street are proposed to be retained. 29 Linden Street is proposed to be relocated within the site at the current location of 33 Linden Street. It is proposed that all the retained heritage facades be fully restored.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed alterations conserve the onsite and adjacent heritage buildings. Heritage Planning staff are of the opinion that the heritage impacts of the development proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy.
\r\n\r\n
On April 10, 2024, GBCA Architects prepared a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) describing proposed conservation and mitigation measures designed to reduce the proposal's impact. On July 26, 2024, the applicant's heritage consultant prepared addendums to the Heritage Impact Assessment to provide additional information and rationale regarding the conservation of the subject properties.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"I am kindly asking for your support in implementing up-to-date turn restrictions that will ensure there are one way traffic flows during Forest Hill Junior and Senior Public School’s (FHJSPS) morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. In 2020, FHJSPS altered its drop-off and pick-up times to 8:30am and 2:45pm. Historically, the turn-restrictions in the school’s zone created a clockwise traffic flow by restricting two-way traffic during the school’s drop-off and pick-up times. With the passage of this motion, the turn-restrictions will again align with FHJSPS’s pick-up and drop-off times, making it safer for caretakers and schoolchildren getting to and from school.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"I am kindly asking for your support in amending the northbound left-turn prohibition on Westover Hill Road to help alleviate its daily traffic grid-lock condition, where vehicles often bypass major arterials to cut to Allen Road and get caught on Westover Hill Road with no safe opportunity to access Eglinton Avenue towards Allen Road.
\r\n\r\n
Transportation Services Staff have advised me, based on their technical analysis, that Westover Hill’s close proximity to the Allen, and absence of a traffic control signal at the intersection of Westover Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue West, significantly inhibits traffic flushing onto Eglinton Avenue West. This leads to extreme traffic backlogs both on Westover Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue in the approach to Allen Road. Although Westover Hill Road has existing left-turn prohibitions during peak times, wayfinding apps do not register the turn restrictions and staff advise that a daily 7am to 7pm turn-restriction will register with wayfinding apps to no longer direct traffic onto Westover Hill Road. The volume of cars using this route is relatively low, so there is no concern of impact of this extended restriction to other side streets, but the impact of the current condition makes Westover Hill near impassable and exacerbates congestion at the westbound approach to Eglinton Avenue and Allen Road.
\r\n\r\n
Since the Metrolinx-built intersection at Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road was installed in June 2023 as part of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT [see Item – 2012.CC17.1] congestion matters have persisted in the vicinity. While the City now has jurisdiction over the intersection and several critical adjustments have been made to improve operations of the intersection, neighbourhood streets north and south of Eglinton Avenue continue to be impacted by congestion caused by traffic destined for Allen Road. Through consultation with the community, the development of an area-wide plan aimed at alleviating the impact of this congestion on neighbourhood streets is being prepared, while longer term improvements to the Eglinton-Allen intersection are sought.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The new affordable housing development at 35 Bellevue Avenue in Kensington Market will create approximately 78 new rent-geared-to-income homes with social supports on what is now a parking lot but used to contain multiple affordable homes. To preserve long-term affordability, this modular building will be constructed by the City as a public builder on city land. Accordingly, it must meet the City (highest) tier of Toronto Green Standard Version 4.
\r\n\r\n
Vulnerable people, including the future residents of 35 Bellevue, tend to suffer the most from climate breakdown, and often have multiple health concerns. Ward 11 section 37 funds will enable the building to meet the City tier of Toronto Green Standard Version 4 as a Net Zero affordable housing development, and to provide a high quality of life to the future residents.
\r\n\r\n
The project will be constructed using mass timber building technology with high sustainability and energy efficiency performance, supporting the City’s TransformTO Net Zero Strategy goals and shortening construction time. The design will maximize indoor air quality, tenant comfort and resilience, and minimize operating costs, air pollution and climate damage. It will also avoid future retrofit costs to comply with the city’s planned Emission Performance Standard.
\r\n\r\n
Project features will include:
\r\n\r\n
1. High performance building envelope components such as triple glazed windows and better insulation to maintain consistent, comfortable and draft-free indoor temperatures.
\r\n\r\n
2. Freedom from fossil gas with air source pumps for heating and hot water, energy recovery ventilators, and energy-efficient electric appliances.
\r\n\r\n
3. Solar-readiness, with a dedicated rooftop area for solar panels and space in the mechanical room for connections to support renewable energy enhancements such as an expanded solar PV system, on-site energy storage, and green roof.
\r\n\r\n
4. Healthier indoor air, reducing respiratory issues and allergies, through no fossil gas combustion in the building, ‘Low-VOC’ (volatile organic compound) materials, advanced ventilation systems, and better air filtration.
\r\n\r\n
5. Features that promote well-being, such as natural lighting, access to green spaces, and use of non-toxic materials.
\r\n\r\n
6. Energy-efficient systems and appliances, better insulation, and water-saving fixtures reduce monthly utility bills, reducing costs for both tenants and the non-profit housing provider over time – savings that can put back into building maintenance and programming for residents.
\r\n\r\n
Overall, these sustainable features offer a range of benefits for communities and tenants making homes more efficient, comfortable, and healthier, aligning with the values of communities who expect a high-quality living experience.
","annotation":"* Notice of this Motion has been given.Councillor Dianne Saxe, seconded by Councillor Jon Burnside, recommends that:
\r\n\r\n
1. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to report to City Council by the first quarter of 2025 with recommendations for credible maximum fines, and whether to authorize charges against corporate officers and directors, for serious breaches of the offence provisions in the Municipal Code chapters that Transportation Services enforces, including Municipal Code Chapter 743, Streets and Sidewalks, Use of, and former Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 313, Streets and Sidewalks, subject to the maximum penalties allowable under applicable provincial statutes.
\r\n
2. City Council direct the City Manager to report to City Council by the first quarter of 2025 with recommendations for maximum fines, and whether to authorize charges against corporate officers and directors, for serious breaches of other chapters of the Municipal Code, other than the chapters that Transportation Services enforces, subject to the maximum penalties allowable under applicable provincial statutes.
Transportation Services is responsible to enforce Municipal Code Chapter 743, Streets and Sidewalks.
\r\n
A young woman was tragically killed on Bloor Street in July 2024 close to a construction bin that was blocking the bike lane without a permit. Transportation Services issued several Provincial Offences Act tickets to the companies allegedly responsible for the bin, but these tickets will cost the companies as little as $200. Due to Council’s failure to set a credible maximum fine for breaches of Chapter 743, or to authorize charges against officers and directors, Transportation Services could not do much more. This result is grossly inadequate, and shocks the conscience of the community.
It also reveals that Toronto has no consistent, coherent approach to penalties for breaches of its Municipal Code, nor any explicit rationale for its inconsistencies.
The City of Toronto Act gives Council unfettered authority to set a maximum fine, up to $100,000, for serious breaches of the Municipal Code. However, where Council has not specified a maximum fine, the default maximum for even the worst offence by the worst offender is set at $5,000 by the Ontario Provincial Offences Act.
This $5,000 Provincial Offences Act maximum has remained unchanged for many decades, and is an insignificant deterrent for most businesses. This ceiling may be adequate in minor cases, and for those of limited means, but is far too low to deter offences by those who gain financially from their offence. Accordingly, most provincial statutes have set much higher fine maximums for their regulatory (non-criminal) offences. Ontario sets maximums such as $6 million/day for individuals (plus jail) or $10,000,000/day for corporations under s. 187 of the Environmental Protection Act, or $1.5 million for individuals (plus jail) or $2,000,000 for corporations under s. 66 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Vancouver sets maximum fines such as $1,000,000 under s. 46 of its Air Quality Management Bylaw 1082, and $200,000 under s.11 of its Tipping Fee and Solid Waste Disposal Regulation 379.
Council has established maximum fines of $100,000 in many chapters of the Toronto Municipal Code, such as Chapters 349 (Animals); 354 (Apartment Buildings); 417 (Dust); 423 (Environmental Reporting and Disclosure); 447 (Fences); 497 (Heating); 546 (Licencing of Vehicles for Hire); 547 (Licensing and Registration of Short-term Rentals); 575 (Multi-Tenant Houses); 591 (Noise); 632 (Property, Vacant or Hazardous); 667 (Residential Rental Property Demolition and Conversion Control); 681 (Sewers); 693 (Signs); 742 (Sidewalk Cafes, Parklets and Marketing Displays); 760 (Municipal Land Transfer Tax) and 813 (Trees). Chapter 629 (Property Standards) authorizes corporate fines of up to $1,500,000. In some Chapters, Council has explicitly provided that corporate officers and directors may be charged for the offence, which is a critically important provision for increasing corporate compliance; for unspecified reasons, others are silent.
For offences on streets and sidewalks, where vulnerable road users are most at risk of injury or death (Chapter 743), Council has taken no action. No maximum fine has been set and charges against officers and directors are not provided for.
This inaction sends an important message to the courts, to potential offenders, and to the community. When charges are laid, judges determine the fine that is actually imposed, taking into account the circumstances of the offender and the circumstances and consequences of the offence. One important factor is the range of permissible fines, which gives the judge a clear message about the seriousness of the prohibited act and why it matters to the community. Higher maximum fines, combined with laying charges when warranted, are key tools in achieving higher levels of compliance.
Prohibited acts on city roads and sidewalks can have very serious consequences, as illustrated by this tragic case. The people of Toronto rightfully expect the city to be willing and able to punish serious offences appropriately and in proportion to the circumstances. It is therefore time for Council to restore credible deterrence to Municipal Code Chapter 743, Streets and Sidewalks, Use of, and former Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 313, Streets and Sidewalks, by setting a substantial maximum fine for offences contrary to these bylaws, subject to the maximum fine allowable under the applicable provincial statutes, and to consider authorizing charges against corporate officers and directors.
Council should also ask staff to recommend credible maximum fines, and whether to authorize charges against corporate officers and directors, for other serious breaches of the Municipal Code, especially where no credible maximum fine has been established, such as Chapters 363 (Building Construction and Demolition); 415 (Development of Land); 433 (False Alarms); 463 (Firearms); and 548 (Littering and Dumping), or where the responsibility of officers and directors has not yet been addressed.

\r\n\r\n
1. City Council express its support for the remaining City-owned lands at 770 Don Mills Road (Ontario Science Centre), not covered by the proposed Housing Now site, to remain solely for recreational and educational purposes.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"This motion seeks to have the City support the maintenance of recreational and educational uses on the site of the current Ontario Science Centre located at 770 Don Mills Road. The Province has announced the closing of the Ontario Science Centre at its current location in Don Mills. Further, they have indicated it will be relocated to Ontario Place on the waterfront.
\r\n\r\n
As part of the New Deal between the City and the Province it was agreed “The Province agreeing to discuss partnership opportunities with the City for maintaining public, community-oriented science programming at the legacy Ontario Science Centre.”
\r\n\r\n
Given that the Flemingdon Park area located next to the Science Centre has a population density of 110 people per hectare and already has approved development that will nearly double that density and population to just under 40,000 or 188 people per hectare and could increase to 60,000 residents or 278 people per hectare with applications under review, the need to develop complete communities has never been more important.
\r\n\r\n
Two Housing Now sites are planned for the corner of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue. East. The first will have 1,254 residential units spread over three towers on the southwest corner, which is currently the north parking lot of the Ontario Science Centre, the second Housing Now site consists of 840 residential units in two buildings at the southeast corner.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto needs places not only to live, but to play, visit, work and study. In short, we need complete communities. The residents of Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe Park have made this perfectly clear and the key role the Science Centre plays in the community.

\r\n\r\n
While beneficial to building public support in communities across the country, these campaigns have been limited by provincial/territorial jurisdiction over municipal election law.
\r\n\r\n
The City of Toronto’s polls for changes in a neighbourhood present an opportunity for the City to become the first in Canada to unilaterally allow 16- and 17- year-olds the opportunity to vote. This summary includes an overview of the evidence supporting the extension of voting rights to 16- and 17- year-olds, drawing from cognitive science, political science and young people’s experiences.
\r\n\r\n
Electoral Competence of 16- and 17-Year-Olds
\r\n
Across the world, 17 countries have a voting age of 16 in elections for at least one level of government. These countries are Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Malta, Nicaragua, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, the United States, and Wales. The three Crown Dependencies (the Isle of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey) also have a minimum voting age of 16.
\r\n
As the list of jurisdictions with a minimum voting age of 16 expands, a consensus is growing in the neuroscientific and social science literatures that 16-year-olds are sufficiently mature, informed and ready to exercise the right to vote. Research by scientists including Dr. Laurence Steinberg, a world leading expert in adolescence, has shown that the critical cognitive ability needed for voting—the ability to make decisions in unhurried and non-impulsive contexts—reaches maturity by 16.
\r\n\r\n
Further research from Austria, Belgium, and Germany, three countries that have extended the voting age, shows that 16- and 17-year-olds also match adults in the quality of their vote choice. This research demonstrates that 16-year-olds make their voting decisions as effectively and as competently as adults.
\r\n\r\n
In Scotland, an analysis revealed that 16- and 17-year-olds do not merely adopt the voting prescriptions of their parents. Along with having sought out comparatively more sources of information than their non-enfranchised peers in the rest of the UK, more than 40 percent of Scottish 16- and 17-year-olds voted differently from their parents during the country’s independence referendum.
\r\n\r\n
Canadian scholars have found that 16- and 17-year-olds are not less politically developed than adults, and, depending on the aspect being looked at, they are more knowledgeable or as knowledgeable as adults. Compared to 18- and 20-year-olds, they know as much about political
\r\ninstitutions, the campaign promises, and the candidates.
\r\n\r\n
Research by Elections Canada has found that 16- and 17-year-olds are just as
\r\ninterested, if not more, in participating in various forms of political activity, including voting and non-electoral civic activities.
\r\n\r\n
During Prince Edward Island’s referendum on electoral reform in 2016, the province allowed 16- and 17-year-olds the right to participate. During this referendum, 16- and 17-year-olds voted at a higher rate of turnout than those aged 18 to 44.
\r\n\r\n
International Experience
\r\n
Before they were allowed to vote for the first time during Scotland’s 2014 pilot, public support for letting 16- and 17-year-olds vote stood at approximately 35 percent. After the election, when the views about youth as political actors had evolved, public support increased to 60 percent and the Scottish Parliament voted unanimously to make the change permanent.
\r\n
The Northwest Territories' chief electoral officer has recently recommended that the territory extend the voting age to 16.
\r\n\r\n
In jurisdictions where the voting age has been lowered to 16, the voting rate for 16- and 17-year-olds is higher than older first-time voters between the ages of 18-24. This may be partly due to still being at home, and being able to have conversations with parents, teachers, and peers more easily than when one is away or navigating the first challenges of adulthood. By allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to participate fully in the electoral process, it is demystified, removing a barrier to future participation in elections.
\r\n\r\n
There is a positive, lasting effect on turnout from extending the voting age. Social science research confirms that the “habit of voting” develops in a citizen’s first one or two elections, meaning that a boost in youth voter turnout will continue into the long term, as citizens continue voting over the course of their lives.
\r\n\r\n
Youth Support
\r\n
In 2020, the Government of Canada commissioned 90 youth consultation sessions hosted by youth-serving organizations and youth facilitators. These sessions heard from a diverse cohort of young people on the priority areas established in Canada’s Youth Policy.
\r\n
Nearly 1,000 youth from all over Canada contributed their experiences, perspectives, insights and expertise. This work culminated in Canada’s first-ever State of Youth Report, which included a set of recommendations brought forward by youth under each of these priority areas. In the words of the report:
\r\n\r\n
[Y]outh want to be more involved across governments and have more opportunities to grow as leaders and sustain leadership opportunities. Furthermore, youth want to participate in the decisions that affect them and want those in the government and others to acknowledge and recognize their agency and autonomy.
\r\n\r\n
One of the five recommendations under the “Leadership and impact” heading was for the government to
\r\n\r\n
“Urgently prioritize lowering the voting age for youth from 18 to 16.”
\r\n\r\n
Supportive youth-led and youth-affiliated organizations includes Apathy is Boring, the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children, the Canadian Federation of Students, the Childcare Resource and Research Unit, Children First Canada, For Our Kids Canada, Generation Squeeze, New Majority, Toronto Foundation for Youth Involvement in
\r\nPolitics, UNICEF Canada, Young Canadians Roundtable on Health, Young Politicians of Canada, and Youthful Cities.
\r\n\r\n
In line with growing multi-partisan and grassroots support for this policy, a 2020
\r\nElections Canada survey found that 50 percent of 16- and 17-year-olds actively support the idea of having the right to vote, with an additional 21 percent expressing no opposition to it.
\r\n\r\n
Neighbourhood Polls
\r\n
The City conducts polls to determine the opinions of property owners, residents and businesses that could be affected by a change in their neighbourhood.
\r\n
If the result of the poll is positive, the application may proceed through the approval process. Depending upon the type of poll, final approval by City Council may be required. All regulations concerning neighbourhood polls, including the minimum age to participate, are set independently by the City.
\r\n\r\n
Between September 13, 2023, and September 13, 2024, the City of Toronto opened 76 neighbourhood change polls. Forty-six of these polls were opened for Front Yard Parking requests, 20 were opened for Traffic Calming proposals, 9 were opened for Permit Parking proposals, and 1 was opened for a Business Improvement Area. Of these 76 polls, all but 11 received sufficient response rates for an actionable result.
\r\n\r\n
16- and 17-year-olds have an interest in the safety, accessibility, and attractiveness of their communities. Changing the minimum age to participate in City polls from 18 to 16 will allow Toronto to substantively promote and advance the cause of youth voting
\r\nrights. Two sections of the City of Toronto Municipal Code are relevant to considerations of this change.
\r\n\r\n
§ 190-4. Polling list.
\r\n
The City Clerk's Office shall compile a polling list including names and corresponding addresses of those listed on the following documents as owners, residents and tenants of property located wholly or partially within the polling area:
\r\n
A. Current Returned Assessment Roll;
\r\n\r\n
B. Municipal Connect, Toronto Property System (TPS) or any other related geographic information system (GIS) developed using information from Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) and City records; and
\r\n\r\n
C. Affidavit delivered to the City Clerk during the polling period in a form prescribed by the City Clerk and asserting that the affiant is an owner, resident or tenant of property located wholly or partially within the polling area.
\r\n\r\n
§ 190-9. Voting eligibility.
\r\n
No person shall be eligible to vote in a poll unless the person's name appears on the polling list and the person is 18 years of age or over, and is an owner, resident or tenant of property located wholly or partially within the polling area as of the closing date of the poll.
Councillor Chris Moise, seconded by Councillor Shelley Carroll, recommends that:
\r\n\r\n
1. City Council increase the 2024 Operating Budget for Non-Program on a one-time basis by $20,000 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 community benefits obtained from the development at 89, 97 and 99 Church Street secured for capital projects (Source Account: XR3026-3701195), for the purpose of providing one-time capital funding to STEPS Public Art for the installation of custom vinyl-wraps onto 6 garbage receptacles in the business impact analysis (Cost Centre: NP2161), as outlined in Appendix A.
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council direct that $20,000.00 be forwarded to STEPS Public Art, subject to the organization signing an Undertaking governing the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Participatory Budgeting is a system of direct democracy where residents imagine how their neighbourhood could be improved, suggest potential ideas and then vote on how funds are spent to improve their community through capital projects. 2023 was the first year Participatory Budgeting was implemented in Toronto Centre to determine how community benefits funding should be allocated.
\r\n\r\n
Between May 25 to November 1, 2023, my office hosted online and in-person engagements with local residents and business improvement areas to crowdsource ideas. These ideas were then vetted for costing and feasibility with City staff and presented to the local community to vote on which projects they would like to see funded.
\r\n\r\n
In the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood, nine projects were supported by the local community that fit within the allocated budget of $750,000. One of the projects, Custom vinyl-wrapped garbage receptacles, required additional review.
\r\n\r\n
The release of funds for these projects would allow for locally supported capital projects to move forward in a timely manner.

\r\n\r\n
1. City Council request the Province of Ontario to consider the feasibility of a high speed rail system instead of the disruptive and costly tunneling under Highway 401 running through the middle of Toronto.
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council request the Minister of Transportation to conduct a cost-benefit analysis for the construction of a high speed rail system that would potentially connect cities like Hamilton, Toronto, Kingston, and Montreal – increasing the frequency of trains and significantly reducing travel times for Ontarians and reducing congestion.
\r\n\r\n
3. City Council direct the City Manager to estimate the possible costs of tunneling under the 401, using examples such as the “Big Dig” in Boston and the State Route 99 in Seattle to inform their calculation.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The Premier of Ontario is proposing to tunnel under Highway 401, a major transportation route used by hundreds of thousands of Ontarians and Torontonians every day as they commute to work, visit family, and partake in other day to day tasks or events. The 401 is one of the busiest and widest highway corridors in the world with over 500,000 cars and trucks using it daily.
\r\n\r\n
This proposal for a tunnel is expected to be incredibly costly, with preliminary estimates ranging far above $50 billion. This massive cost does not include the expected impacts on hundreds of thousands of Toronto residents, businesses, and industrial spaces spread across 15 of the City’s wards and hundreds of residential neighbourhoods. A tunnel would be disruptive, costly, and is not guaranteed to fix the congestion woes we are currently facing.
\r\n\r\n
Instead, the City of Toronto and other municipalities in the region will be better served by a proven transit and congestion management solution used in over 30 countries for the last 60 years – a reliable high speed rail system.
\r\n\r\n
High speed rail will help Toronto and Ontario reach our environmental targets, significantly reduce the travel time between Ontario’s biggest cities, further integrate residential and business hubs across the Quebec City-Toronto corridor and allow Toronto to benefit from the thousands of permanent jobs created through transit expansion.
\r\n\r\n
Canada is the only G7 nation that does not yet have a high-speed rail system. Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area deserves a second opinion before over $50 billion dollars are spent to tunnel under the 401.

\r\n\r\n
1. City Council urge the Government of Ontario to protect community health, well-being and safety by continuing to fund all currently operating Supervised Consumption Services and Consumption and Treatment Services Sites beyond March 31, 2025.
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council request the Government of Ontario to permit the co-location of Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment Hubs and Supervised Consumption Services and Consumption and Treatment Services sites to provide for live-saving medical services, primary care, and increased pathways to treatment services.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Proposed Changes by the Government of Ontario to Supervised Consumption and Consumption and Treatment Services Sites in Toronto
\r\n\r\n
On August 20, 2024, the Ontario government announced changes to supervised consumption and harm reduction services in Ontario. These changes will result in the closure of five supervised consumption sites and consumption and treatment services in Toronto by March 31, 2025, including the supervised consumption sites at The Works, which is operated by Toronto Public Health and currently located at 277 Victoria Street.
While the province also announced a $378 million investment for 19 new Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment Hubs across Ontario, these hubs will not be permitted to offer safer supply, supervised consumption or needle exchange programs. These changes can be expected to have a detrimental impact on the health and well-being of all Torontonians, including:
\r\n
- Increased deaths from overdose – Last year alone, Toronto Public Health’s supervised consumption services supported over 19,000 client visits and responded to approximately 500 overdoses.
\r\n\r\n
- Fewer pathways to treatment – While increased investment in treatment are welcome, the closure of supervised consumption sites will eliminate a key “front door” for people who use drugs to access treatment services.
\r\n\r\n
- Decreased community safety and well-being – supervised consumption site services, including needle-exchange are vital to ensuring the safety and well-being of the broader public, as well as people who use drugs. The recently announced changes can be expected to increase public use of drugs.
\r\n\r\n
- Increased strain on first responders and hospital emergency departments – supervised consumption sites provide a controlled setting where highly trained staff provide emergency first aid in the event of an overdose. The closure of these essential medical services will increase the pressures on hospital emergency departments and already over-burdened first responders, including paramedics and law enforcement.
\r\n\r\n
In light of these concerns, it is critical that the Government of Ontario continue to fund and support supervised consumption sites/consumption and treatment services as a key pillar in the response to the drug toxicity crisis, alongside prevention, treatment, and community safety and well-being.
","annotation":"* Notice of this Motion has been given.Councillor James Pasternak, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle, recommends that:
\r\n\r\n
1. City Council amend City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 415, Development of Land, Article III, Schedule B, to include the lands known in the year 2024 as 3 Cadillac Avenue, provided the lands are developed as a non-profit hospice (Neshama Hospice).
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"Neshama Hospice is a non-profit hospice being constructed on property known municipally as 3 Cadillac Avenue. A building permit is expected to issue shortly.
\r\n\r\n
The facility will contain twelve (12) rooms where patients can live out their final days with loved ones within a community of compassion. It will provide the highest quality patient and family-centred, end-of-life care in a peaceful, comfortable environment where people are surrounded by compassion, community, and friendship. Neshama Hospice is a member of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario and the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association.
\r\n\r\n
Toronto is in desperate need of more options for end-of-life care, including through non-profit hospices. Development Charges By-law 1137-2022 specifically recognizes that non-profit hospices are not the type of development that warrants imposition of development charges (i.e., growth that should pay for growth). Through adoption of Item 2022.EX34.1, City Council exempted non-profit hospices from development charges, provided the facility is owned by a not-for-profit corporation and operated on a not-for-profit basis to provide accommodation and end of life or palliative care for terminally ill persons. Neshama Hospice meets this definition.
\r\n\r\n
While Neshama Hospice is exempt from development charges and other City fees as a non-profit hospice, the application of Section 42 of the Planning Act through Article III of the Article 415 of the City of Toronto of Municipal Code has resulted in a potential cash-in-lieu of parkland payment of $308,617.31. A non-profit hospice should not be burdened with such a payment, especially when the proposal includes generous and peaceful greenspace for use by the hospice’s patients and their families. This motion would ensure that Neshama Hospice will not be subjected to parkland levy or dedication and enable this well-needed facility to proceed to construction.
","annotation":"* Notice of this Motion has been given.Councillor Brad Bradford, seconded by Councillor Jon Burnside, recommends that:
\r\n\r\n
1. City Council request the Auditor General to consider including an audit of the $150 million West Toronto Railpath Extension in the Auditor General's 2025 Work Plan, including addressing the following matters:
\r\n
a. a breakdown of the due diligence process undertaken by the City of Toronto to find cost savings and efficiencies and ensure value for money;
b. how this project was identified and prioritized for capital funding and requests for intergovernmental funding support;
c. factors that led to the cost estimate increasing by at least $74 million over the previous projection;
d. details of the impact of Metrolinx administrative costs on the increased estimate; and
e. an assessment of the City’s process for evaluating the budget increase and recommendations for improvement.
On August 1, 2024, the City of Toronto issued a news release announcing an intergovernmental partnership to fund the extension of the West Toronto Railpath multi-use trail.
\r\n\r\n
Under the funding agreement, the Government of Canada would provide $23 million, while the City would contribute the remaining $125.7 million. According to the release, the project would double the length of the 2.1 kilometre trail for a total project cost of $148.7 million – or nearly $75,000 per metre.
\r\n\r\n
Understandably, the significant price tag captured the attention of Torontonians, the media, and many members of Council. The cost of the extension has raised questions about the City’s responsibilities, priorities, and evaluation of the use of valuable taxpayer dollars – and those questions merit answers.
\r\n\r\n
At $150 million, the two kilometre trail would cost double what it’s costing to speed up the Gardiner Expressway rebuild by a year. With the same funding, two brand new community centres could be delivered for our communities. In fact, the cost has increased six-fold since 2016, when the extension project was budgeted at $23 million.
\r\n\r\n
The City has not made publicly available a detailed breakdown of the $150 million cost estimate, and questions about the due diligence process have gone unanswered.
\r\n\r\n
As a demonstration of transparency, this motion requests the City of Toronto’s Auditor General to include a value for money assessment of the West Toronto Railpath Extension in the 2025 Work Plan.

1. City Council request the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, to report as part of the 2025 Budget process on recommendations that update the service standard for wildlife cadaver removal, including the feasibility of returning to the previous standard of 48 hours.
\r\n\r\n
2. City Council request the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, to create a strategy for Toronto Animal Services to tackle the seasonal spike in animal cadaver removal service requests, including by considering this trend in preparation of the 2025 Operational Budget for Toronto Animal Services.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"In 2023, Toronto Animal Services received 13,900 calls for wildlife cadaver removals. While the target was to respond to 90 percent of requests within 48 hours, that standard was met for just 62 percent of calls.
\r\n\r\n
Despite being the third most submitted 3-1-1 service request, wildlife cadaver removal has the lowest Municipal Licensing and Standards service standard performance, with targets being met only 62 percent of the time - 10 percent below the average service standard of 72 percent .
\r\n\r\n
In response to long wait times, the target service standard for wildlife cadaver removal more than doubled from 48 hours to 5 business days in March 2024. According to the presentation by Municipal Licencing and Standards to the Service Excellence Committee on September 6 2024, the standard was lowered to set more realistic expectations for cadaver removal requests. Anecdotally, constituents attest that the current wait for the service is even longer than 5 business days.
\r\n\r\n
According to the September 2024 presentation, Municipal Licencing and Standards is experiencing a year-over-year increase in the number of animal-related service requests, which has affected Toronto Animal Services’ service standard performance.
\r\n\r\n
Our constituents deserve better. Residents should not be expected to witness a cadaver decompose for more than a week, resort to hiring a private company, or – worst of all – attempt to handle the situation themselves. It’s more than unpleasant and a nuisance. This is a public health and safety issue.
\r\n\r\n
When the City is not meeting service standards, the answer is to fix the service, not move the goalposts. It’s time to reevaluate our priorities to ensure we meet the most basic service obligations to residents. This motion asks staff to propose a plan to reinstate the previous service standard of 48 hours for wildlife cadaver removal service requests, as part of the 2025 Budget process.

This is primarily a health issue that falls under provincial jurisdiction and municipalities and regions should not be using the property tax base to fund these programs.

This motion will support the City in exploring how it can leverage existing programs, expand platforms (e.g., Count Yourself In Survey) and introduce system enhancements to increase access, enable consistent collection, and support high-quality reliable analysis and reporting to capture all workforce data which can offer a more meaningful understanding and insights into the employee journey, particularly in relation to Indigenous, Black and equity-deserving applicants and employees.

City Council direct the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to develop and implement measures that improve the registration process for recreational programs for seniors in the city, and report to the December 17, 18 and 19, 2024 meeting of City Council with an implementation plan for the 2025 registration period, such plan to include the following:
\r\n\r\n
Dedicated Registration Times for Seniors
\r\n\r\n
a. establish separate registration times for seniors, such as between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., to alleviate the burden of competing with families for program spots;
\r\n\r\n
Onsite Registration Options
\r\n\r\n
b. explore the feasibility of implementing onsite registration for seniors at designated recreation centers, providing a convenient alternative for those without access to computers or cell phones;
\r\n\r\n
Priority for Local Residents
\r\n\r\n
c. implement a system that prioritizes local residents in the registration process for recreational programs, ensuring that seniors have better access to programs within their communities; and
\r\n\r\n
Accessibility Review
\r\n\r\n
d. conduct a regular review of the registration process and accessibility measures to identify and address any emerging challenges faced by seniors.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"I am writing to express my concerns regarding the registration process for seniors in City of Toronto recreation programs. I believe that the current system is not equitable and presents significant challenges for seniors across the city.
\r\n\r\n
One of the primary issues is that seniors must compete with families at 7:00 a.m. to secure programming spots. This early registration time is particularly difficult for seniors who may not have access to computers or cell phones. Additionally, many seniors may not be able to rise at such an early hour, especially if they need to arrange transportation.
\r\n\r\n
Another concern is that seniors in the program area are not always able to obtain places in programs close to home, serving their community. A system prioritizing local residents first would address this concern, saving seniors travel time and enhancing their program experience. This is especially important for seniors in under-serviced communities.
\r\n\r\n
I propose that a separate registration time and possibly date be allocated for seniors, such as between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. This would allow seniors to register without the added stress and inconvenience of competing with families. Additionally, exploring options for onsite registration could further improve accessibility for seniors.
\r\n\r\n
I believe it is essential to respect and accommodate the needs of seniors in our communities across the city. By implementing a separate registration time and considering onsite registration, we can ensure that seniors have a fair opportunity to access the programs and services they deserve, especially those located close to their homes.

The Property has an area of approximately 8,288 square feet and a frontage of 105 feet along Queen Street East.

City Council request the Mayor and the City Manager to invite the Provincial Minister of Transportation and the Chief Executive Officer, Metrolinx to the November or December 2024 meeting of the Executive Committee to make a presentation and answer questions regarding the current status of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit, including:

b. when the project is expected to be complete;
\r\n\r\n
c. what is the expected additional cost to the project; and
\r\n\r\n
d. the additional supports will they provide to affected residents and businesses.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"\r\n
The recent news that the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit won’t open in 2024 is yet another disappointing setback for the many Torontonians that live and work along the line that is at least a billion dollars over budget and has been delayed for years. Residents and businesses along 19 kilometres of Eglinton Avenue have been enduring over 12 years of hardship due to the endless construction. They have suffered incredible disruption and unmanageable traffic and safety issues as well as greatly reduced customer traffic, loss of revenue and in many cases business closure.
\r\n\r\n
Despite repeated calls by City Council demanding greater transparency and accountability, Metrolinx continues to refuse to explain the repeated delays, cost overruns and won’t even set a forecasted completion date. It is unacceptable that residents whose real estate and business decisions based on the line opening in 2020 are still left waiting for the bus.
\r\n\r\n
Further to recommendations made in item 2023.MM2.1, this Motion calls upon City Council to once again ask for a public inquiry into this project and request Metrolinx and the provincial Minister of Transportation to appear before the Executive Committee to publicly report on the status of the project.

2. City Council request the Government of Canada to work with the Province of Ontario and the Toronto Police Service to optimize the existing bail system using data-driven recommendations made by the Province and local police to best assist with law enforcement and public safety objectives.
\r\n\r\n
3. City Council request the Province of Ontario to allocate additional funding and resources to support the Toronto Police Service and the City of Toronto as critical partners in our justice system, specifically to:
\r\n\r\n
a. improve monitoring of individuals released on bail to reduce the risk of re-offending; and
\r\n\r\n
b. develop and fund programs addressing the root causes of recidivism, including mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and rehabilitation programs.
\r\n\r\n
4. City Council request the City Manager to collaborate with the Toronto Police Service and other relevant local stakeholder organizations to collect data on the impact of current bail policies on public safety and report to City Council with recommendations for reforms to both the Federal and Provincial governments.

\r\n\r\n
6. City Council forward this item to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, the Premier of Ontario, the Attorney General of Ontario, and the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services for their consideration and necessary action.
","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"The City of Toronto has experienced an increase in violent crimes, with many incidents involving individuals released on bail under conditions that may not adequately prevent further offences. Ensuring the safety of Toronto’s residents is a key responsibility of City Council, and collaboration within the justice sector among all orders of government is crucial to maintain the integrity of the justice system. Recent concerns have been raised regarding the risks posed to public safety by repeat offenders and those involved in violent and gun-related crimes.
\r\n\r\n
The Criminal Code of Canada guarantees the right to reasonable bail unless just cause for detention is demonstrated, requiring the court to balance the presumption of innocence with the need to protect public safety. Toronto’s police services, along with many other stakeholders across the province, have identified significant challenges in the current bail system, particularly in cases where individuals accused of violent offences are released without adequate oversight or conditions to mitigate public risk.
\r\n\r\n
The Federal and Provincial governments have the authority to implement bail policy changes, including stricter provisions for repeat and violent offenders, increased resources for bail monitoring, and enhanced support for police and justice systems to enforce bail conditions. Toronto City Council recognizes that while justice reform is an ongoing necessity, it must strike a balance between protecting individual rights and ensuring public safety – all while doing a better job with limited resources

A technical amendment is required to modify to the size of the Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space easement area from a minimum of 44.0 square metres to a minimum of 20 square metres in the Bylaws to accurately reflect the size of the Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space easement area. This is to correct a mistake that the entirety of the Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space was located on private property due to an error on the architectural plans, whereas a portion of the planned Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space was located on public property. The eastern half of the Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space, approximately 20 square metres and located entirely on private property, will be considered as the Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space easement area. The western half, within the Raglan Avenue right-of-way, will remain under City ownership, and the City cannot grant an easement in favour of itself on its own lands. The 44.0 square metre space is intended to be located on both the public and private lands, originally described as the Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space, and will be constructed and designed as originally intended and noted in the Staff Report. The proposed development is not changing and these technical amendments are required to implement City Council’s decision.
\r\n\r\n
City Planning is of the opinion that the technical amendments to By-laws 1049-2022 and 1050-2022, as set out in the Recommendations are appropriate, are good planning and do not require any further public notice. There are no other changes to the approved Zoning By-laws and all other Section 37 requirements will remain unchanged.
\r\n\r\n
The reason for urgency is that the applicant is imminently about to execute the Sec 37 Agreement but this minor metric needs to be corrected. They cannot obtain Site Plan approval without resolving this Zoning By-law Amendment and approval requirement.

1. City Council authorize the exemption of General Condition E of Appendix B of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 213, Real Property in respect of a limiting distance agreement, construction staging licence agreement and/or crane swing licence agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) regarding the property municipally known as 1125 Danforth Avenue between:

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"This Motion seeks authority to enable staff to exempt the non-profit proponent from the payment of charges related to the Agreements under General Condition E of Appendix B of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 213. This will be achieved by waving the requirement that any property interest granted pursuant to authority delegated pursuant to Chapter 213 of the Municipal Code reflect fair market value. Since the other terms and conditions are under negotiation, authority to enter into the Agreements will be secured through the authority delegated pursuant to Chapters 213 and 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development at 1117 Danforth Avenue is a 14-storey mixed-use development consisting of 108 affordable and rent-controlled market units, including 27 social housing replacement units by Houselink and Mainstay Community Housing. This project is supported through the City's Rental Housing Supply Program (the “Program”), which provides City incentives to eligible rental housing units such as exemptions from development charges, parkland dedication fees, community benefit charges, if not exempted by provincial legislation, and waivers of planning application and building permit fees, to eligible housing developments. The Program does not include the exemptions of fees and charges collected through real estate agreements. If City Council approves this motion authorizing the exemption to the fair market value requirement for the Agreements, the value will be secured through the Contribution Agreement.
\r\n\r\n
To maximize affordable housing, the 1117 Danforth Avenue development is proposed to be built to the property line shared with 1125 Danforth Avenue, which Toronto Transit Commission owns in its capacity as agent of the City and which includes a below-ground Toronto Transit Commission tunnel and an above ground childcare centre operated by Children’s Services. A limiting distance agreement is an option under the Ontario Building Code to permit residential units facing the childcare centre to have operable windows and ensure sufficient separation between 1117 Danforth Avenue and any future redevelopment of 1125 Danforth Avenue. A limiting distance agreement will need to be in place to meet the Ontario Building Code and prior to issuance of a building permit. The potential need for a construction staging licence agreement and/or a crane swing licence agreement is currently under evaluation.
\r\n\r\n
Houselink and Mainstay Community Housing is a not-for-profit supportive housing agency 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
As of the date of this motion, Houselink and Mainstay Community Housing is the registered owner of 1117 Danforth Avenue. It is the intention of Houselink and Mainstay Community Housing to transfer title for this building to its related not-for-profit entity, 1117 Danforth Avenue Development not-for-profit prior to executing the Contribution Agreement.

Through the adoption of this item, 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 of Article II of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 415, Development of Land. An amendment to the parkland dedication article of the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement for dwelling rooms within Multi-Tenant Houses is consistent with the exemptions that apply to other growth funding tools for this form of housing.
\r\n\r\n
At its meeting of July 24 and 25, 2024, City Council adopted Item 2024.MM20.30 which directed the General Manager Parks, Forestry and Recreation, in consultation with the Executive Director Municipal Licensing and Standards, City Solicitor and Chief Financial Officer to bring forward an amendment to the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement for Dwelling Rooms.

\r\n\r\n
As one of Toronto’s iconic waterfront destinations, Harbourfront Centre serves as a year-round attraction, drawing a wide range of visitors and supporting the local economy through tourism and events. The previous skating rink, which had been a fixture at Harbourfront Centre for decades, was decommissioned last year as a result of significant maintenance and safety challenges. Its closure marked the end of an era for many who had fond memories of skating against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Ontario.

A new rink will not only preserve the beloved tradition of skating at the lakefront, but also create a modern, safe, and accessible space for both locals and visitors. It will continue to provide a venue for outdoor activity and social engagement, supporting both physical health and community building in the colder months. The skating rink, alongside other public programming, will ensure that Harbourfront Centre remains a key element of the city’s cultural and recreational landscape all year round.
