The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to consider the emerging policy directions in the report dated May 27, 2015, from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District as part of the review of any new development applications within the study area.

The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:

1.  Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the study area.

2.  Notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act be given according to the regulations of the Planning Act.

This study will review and recommend refinements to existing Official Plan policies that apply to new development in the Raglan Avenue/Vaughan Road area.

The study area includes two areas on the north and south sides of St. Clair Avenue, west of Bathurst Street.  The north area extends up to Claxton Boulevard and to west of Vaughan Road.  The south area goes south along Vaughan Road to near Helena Avenue.

Planning staff will recommend possible area-specific amendments to Official Plan policies with respect to height, density, built form, public lanes, community benefits under Section 37, and other matters related to new development.

This report provides preliminary information on the policy review and seeks Community Council's directions on the community consultation process. It recommends that the review of any new development in the study area should consider the emerging policy directions of the Raglan/Vaughan Policy Review.
