Origin
Summary
This report recommends the adoption of a comprehensive new planning framework for the Yonge-Eglinton area in Midtown Toronto (Midtown). This report recommends adoption of amendments to the Official Plan and a new Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan (recommended Plan). The recommended Plan sets out a 25-year vision for Midtown that provides policy direction to ensure Midtown develops as a complete community, maintain the diversity of Midtown's neighbourhoods and integrate land use and infrastructure planning.
This report also recommends endorsement of the Midtown Parks and Public Realm Plan and Midtown Community Services and Facilities Strategy to inform and guide the provision of new and improved parks and community service facilities. The final outcomes of the Transportation and Municipal Servicing Infrastructure Assessments are summarized with physical infrastructure investment priorities identified to support future growth.
Growth and Change in Midtown
Midtown has experienced significant growth since the early 2000s, with development activity markedly accelerating in the past five years. Yonge-Eglinton Centre, at the heart of Midtown and already the most densely populated Urban Growth Centre in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, is poised to double in residential population as a result of approved and proposed development.
Development has benefitted from Midtown's existing assets, including a diversity of land uses and past investment in transit, parks, schools, community centres and other physical and social infrastructure. However, in the absence of an updated planning framework, the cumulative impacts of development risk compromising the character and liveability of Midtown and exceeding existing infrastructure capacity.
A Clear and Comprehensive Policy Response for a Complex Community
The recommended Plan, the culmination of the multi-year Midtown in Focus study, provides clear and detailed direction to guide both intensification and priority infrastructure improvements. The recommended Plan sets the stage for updating zoning in the area and prioritizes improvements that will contribute to the creation and maintenance of Midtown as a complete community. This includes, among others, a connected network of parks and open spaces, improved active transportation options, expanding school and child care capacity and vibrant local employment and retail sectors.
The recommended Plan provides specific direction for the evolution of Midtown's diverse neighbourhoods, each with different development histories, scales and functions, which together serve the daily needs of a broad segment of residents, workers, students and other Torontonians.
Alignment and Consultation
The recommendations presented in this report build on previous initiatives undertaken in the area since 2012, including Eglinton Connects (2014), the Midtown in Focus: Parks, Open Space and Streetscape Plan (2014) and the associated Official Plan Amendment (OPA) adopted in 2015. The recommendations are informed by over three years of consultation and analysis, led by City Planning and supported by Parks, Forestry and Recreation, Toronto Water, Transportation Services and other divisions, agencies, boards and corporations.
Amendments to the Official Plan
The Official Plan policy framework for Midtown has not been comprehensively updated since 2002. The recommended Official Plan Amendment (Attachment 1) includes a new Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan as well as amendments to relevant policies and maps in the Official Plan. It is a comprehensive amendment that conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2017, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and has regard to matters of provincial interest identified in Section 2 of the Planning Act.
Following adoption by City Council, the OPA will be forwarded to the Minister of Municipal Affairs for approval under Section 26 of the Planning Act. This report recommends that the new Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan be used in the evaluation of current and future development applications during the approval period.
Parks and Public Realm Plan
In tandem with the Official Plan Amendment, this report presents the recommended Midtown Parks and Public Realm Plan for City Council's endorsement (Attachment 2). The plan examines the need for parkland in Midtown and articulates a parks and public realm vision for the area. It sets out the priorities for improving public parks and streets and acquiring new parkland needed to serve Midtown's growing population. Together, the plan and associated Secondary Plan policies will guide public and private actions to develop an appropriate, inviting, well-programed network of public spaces to meet the needs of people living, working and visiting Midtown now and into the future.
Community Services and Facilities Strategy
The recommended Plan establishes policies on the timely provision of Community Service Facilities (CSF), including child care, schools, libraries, recreation centres and human services agencies. These policies support implementation of the Midtown Community Services and Facilities Strategy (Attachment 3), including priorities to preserve existing CSF space and projects and expand their provision in new and renewed facilities.
Transportation and Municipal Servicing Assessments
The Midtown in Focus study also included undertaking assessments for transportation and municipal servicing to identify potential infrastructure gaps and potential capital upgrades. The assessments addressed both existing conditions and future growth potential and identified capital upgrades and/or service improvements needed to sustain continued development in the area. Summaries of the outcomes of these assessments are provided in this report.
Implementation Strategies
Additional work is recommended to be undertaken to inform the implementation of the Midtown Parks and Public Realm Plan, Community Services and Facilities Strategy and outcomes of the Transportation and Municipal Servicing Assessments. The implementation strategies will address the scope, cost and timing for new and improved physical and social infrastructure in more detail and ensure that the necessary infrastructure improvements are coordinated.
This next phase of work is intended to ensure that the priorities are incorporated into the 10-year Capital Plan and identify the anticipated timing for other required infrastructure. The strategies will also be developed in consideration of other Council-directed priorities. These implementation strategies will link continued growth to the provision of adequate infrastructure.
Next Steps
Recommendations in this report identify next steps to support implementation of the Official Plan policy framework for Midtown, in addition to adoption of the OPA and endorsement of the Parks and Public Realm Plan and Community Services and Facilities Strategy. These include the following:
- Preparing Infrastructure Implementation Strategies for parks and the public realm, community services and facilities, transportation and municipal servicing;
Initiating a zoning review in accordance with the directions of the recommended Plan for identified lands;
- Undertaking a study of properties of heritage significance in the Mount Pleasant Village Character Area and Glebe Manor Estates as a potential Heritage Conservation District;
- Reviewing the technical feasibility of decking and redevelopment of the Davisville Yard and decking over the open subway trench located west of Yonge Street for new park space;
- Preparing a By-law to amend Chapter 415 of the Municipal Code to enact an alternative requirement for parkland provision for the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan area in accordance with the permissions under Section 42 of the Planning Act; and
- Initiating a study of multi-modal access opportunities from Midtown to the Downtown, including dedicated cycling facilities and improved bus service, as well as a parallel on-street parking review.
Division heads and staff from CreateTO, Financial Planning, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, Toronto Parking Authority, Toronto Water, Transportation Services, Toronto Transit Commission and other City divisions were consulted on the recommendations in this report.

Summary
At its meeting on June 7, 2018, Planning and Growth Management Committee (PGMC) adjourned the Statutory Special Public Meeting for the recommended Official Plan Amendment for the Yonge-Eglinton area. At this meeting, PGMC directed staff to host a further community consultation meeting to solicit feedback from the public on:

Increasing employment opportunities in areas with a proposed Mixed Use Areas "A" and "B" designation on Map 21-4 of the recommended Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan area.
PGMC requested that City Planning staff report to the July 5, 2018 PGMC meeting on the feedback received at the community consultation meeting held on June 21, 2018, potential amendments to the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan to address the feedback and whether the potential amendments would continue to conform with the Growth Plan, be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and have regard to matters of provincial interest in Section 2 of the Planning Act. PGMC also requested City Planning staff to report to the July 5, 2018 PGMC meeting on:
-Including building height limits on Maps 21-11 to 21-16 in geodetic metres for all sites in the recommended Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan and other amendments required to the Secondary Plan as a result; and
-The appropriate use of holding provisions to ensure the provision of infrastructure in the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan area.
This supplementary report summarizes the outcomes of the community consultation meeting. As requested by PGMC, this report provides potential amendments (building height options) for the four Character Areas for the Committee's consideration, inclusive of additional amendments required to the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan to implement the options.
