","agendaItemSummary":"This Report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit three blocks of four-storey stacked and back-to-back townhouse units for the site municipally known as 5, 7, 9 and 11 Bellamy Road South (the \"Site\").
\r\n\r\n
The development would contain a total of 110 residential units with a total residential gross floor area of 14,100 square metres, resulting in a density of 1.85 times the area of the Site. A total of 3 two-bedroom units, 60 three-bedroom units and 47 four-bedroom units are proposed. The proposed development would be supported by a total of 108 vehicular parking spaces, as well as 84 bicycle parking spaces.
\r\n\r\n
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024), and conforms to the City’s Official Plan. It provides residential intensification on lots that vary from the local development pattern with a form proportionate to what is permitted by zoning for adjacent residential properties while benefitting from frequent bus service along Kingston Road and a nearby GO station.
\r\n\r\n
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the proposed development.

","agendaItemSummary":"This Report recommends that City Council adopt the Guildwood Village Neighbourhood Character Guidelines (the \"Guidelines\").
\r\n\r\n
On December 17, 2024, City Council adopted a motion which directed that the Executive Director, Development Review, and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning undertake a review of existing development guidelines and zoning regulations within the Guildwood Community and develop specific design guidelines that clearly articulate the desired architectural character and principles of the community.
\r\n\r\n
Planned and developed in the 1950s and 1960s, Guildwood Village, located along the Scarborough Bluffs, reflects the mid-century modern residential planning and design principles. The architectural character integrates with curvilinear streets and mature trees, creating an attractive, livable community.
\r\n\r\n
The Guidelines (Attachment 5) have been developed in consultation with the community, to identify the predominant existing built form characteristics within Guildwood Village and provide guidance on how new development can be informed by these features as the neighbourhood evolves. An Architectural and Site Design Overview template is also included in Appendix E.
\r\n\r\n
The Guidelines are intended to complement existing Zoning By-law permissions. They may be considered by homeowners and builders when introducing new residential development into the study area, and by City staff when reviewing development applications.

Funding would be subject to availability and competing priorities within the Transportation Services 2026 Capital Budget.
","agendaItemSummary":"As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Kingston Road, City Council approval of this report is required.
\r\n\r\n
Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at the intersection of Kingston Road and Blantyre Avenue, and to remove the existing pedestrian refuge island (PRI) on Kingston Road, approximately 95 metres west of Blantyre Avenue.
\r\n\r\n
While our analysis indicates that based on the current motor vehicle volumes, delays and collisions, the installation of traffic control signals is not technically warranted, we are recommending the installation at Kingston Road and Blantyre Avenue due to several factors:
\r\n\r\n
- PRI's do not provide right-of-way for pedestrians and are not considered an enhanced form of pedestrian crossing protection.
\r\n- The heavy traffic on the four-lane cross section of Kingston Road poses potential safety concerns for pedestrians crossing at the PRI to access the businesses located on either side of Kingston Road in the vicinity of the PRI.
\r\n- Improve pedestrian access at the intersection of Kingston Road and Blantyre Avenue to TTC bus stops located on both sides of Kingston Road.
\r\n- The distance between the nearest protected pedestrian crossings (traffic control signals) on Kingston Road is approximately 440 metres.
\r\n\r\n
The installation of traffic control signals and removal of the PRI will provide enhanced safety for all road users and is justified based on the assessment undertaken.
\r\n\r\n
In addition, the PRI removal will also necessitate parking changes. Previously, parking had been prohibited at all times on both sides of Kingston Road, adjacent to the PRI. With the PRI removal, parking can be re-instated in these areas, adding approximately seven spaces.

This facility will serve as the primary gateway for residents and tourists to experience the park's full potential, making it essential that the transportation links and arrival points are clearly established and intuitively named well in advance of the opening date.
\r\n\r\n
Currently, two separate roadways share the name \"Zoo Road,\" which creates significant navigational confusion. The eastern portion—while retaining the name—no longer leads to the Toronto Zoo and instead functions as the main access route for the national park. This duplication creates challenges for first-time visitors who find themselves misdirected and places an operational strain on local stakeholders like the ZooShare Biogas Plant, which has reported years of fielding calls from lost suppliers. Furthermore, clear and distinct road names are a prerequisite for efficient emergency response times within the park and surrounding industrial areas.
\r\n\r\n
This renaming is not merely an administrative change but a unified request from every major tenant in the area, including Parks Canada (Appendix 1), the Toronto Zoo (Appendix 2), the Friends of Rouge National Urban Park (Appendix 3), the Waterfront Regeneration Trust (Appendix 4), and the ZooShare Biogas Co-operative (Appendix 5). This request meets the spirit of the policy through its unanimous institutional support and the undeniable suitability of the name “Rouge National Urban Park Road” for this specific location.
\r\n\r\n
Given the impending 2027 opening and the low-cost, high-impact nature of this improvement, I am requesting to approve this renaming. It mirrors previous successful renamings, which strengthened the identity of a major City landmarks. Approval will ensure all technical mapping and signage updates are completed in time for the park's next chapter.
