Councillor Mihevc, rising on a Point of Order, asked the Speaker to rule Mayor Ford's questions out of order as the number of lanes on Eglinton Avenue was dealt with two months ago and is not part of this matter.
Challenged by Councillor Josh Matlow
Rulings (City Council)
• the streetscape and traffic plans,
• plans for greening Eglinton and
• the built form along Eglinton
Speaker Nunziata stated that the current item addresses the latter part only - that is, the built form on Eglinton. It does not concern the streetscape or traffic plans.
Speaker Nunziata also advised Members that Council approved a very detailed streetscape and traffic plan at the May meeting contained in the Environmental Assessment Report. City Council adopted the EA report and authorized staff to submit it for provincial approval, which we still await.
Speaker Nunziata ruled that the debate and the motions today must relate to the built-form issues addressed in the report. Motions about the streetscape and traffic cannot be considered under this item.

Decision Advice and Other Information

Origin
Summary
Over the last two years, the Eglinton Connects Planning Study examined the future land uses, built form, public realm and road layout on Eglinton Avenue, in anticipation of the opening of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT in 2020. Together with various stakeholders and the community, a vision for the intensification of Eglinton Avenue was developed. The study resulted in a Plan with 21 recommendations, which were adopted by City Council in May 2014, along with direction to consult further on initial implementation measures.
The purpose of this report is to recommend the adoption of some initial implementation measures for the 21 study recommendations endorsed by Council, and to report back on the results of three community meetings held in May 2014. This report proposes that the Phase 1 implementation measures would be adopted in two parts: Part 1 includes Official Plan Amendments (OPAs) and two Council Resolutions, while Part 2 will include amendments to the Zoning By-law and other implementation measures.
This report recommends implementation of OPAs to facilitate the intensification of the corridor in accordance with the Plan. Changes to land use designations are recommended in certain areas to encourage lot consolidation and redevelopment or to recognize existing uses. A pilot project to demonstrate the implementation of a Neighbourhood Transition Area is proposed on one block. In Leaside, an OPA to permit townhouses on one block is proposed. Site and Area Specific Policies are proposed to secure the dedication of rear laneways as new development occurs. Site and Area Specific Policies are also proposed to guide the development of the Bayview, Dufferin and West Side Mall Focus Areas with respect to building massing, transportation connections, open space, and community facilities. Finally, two Resolutions are recommended to implement the Streetscape Plan and to adopt a Special Study Areas designation in part of the Mount Dennis area.
