Scarborough Community Council recommends that:  

1. City Council amend the City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013, the former City of Scarborough Kennedy Park Community Zoning By-law 9276, the former City of Scarborough Eglinton Community Zoning By-law 10048, the former City of Scarborough Bendale Community Zoning By-law 9350, the former City of Scarborough Woburn Community Zoning By-law 9510, and the former City of Scarborough Employment Districts Zoning By-law 24982 for the lands at 2439, 2453, 2455, 2457, 2461, 2583,  and 2742 Eglinton Avenue East; 155 Transway Crescent; 1269, 1360 and 1515 Danforth Road; 3050 Lawrence Avenue East; 25 Durrington Crescent; 1072 McCowan Road; 50 and 60 Brian Harrison Way; 200 and 230 Town Centre Court; 300 and 350x Borough Drive; 530 and 580 Progress Avenue; and certain lands within the Gatineau Hydro corridor, substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendments attached as Attachments 1-6 to this report (April 3, 2019) from the Director, Transportation Planning.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required.

Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on April 24, 2019 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report proposes zoning by-law amendments to facilitate the delivery of the Line 2 East Subway Extension (L2EE) project.  The purpose of these amendments is to provide relief from zoning by-law provisions related to transportation uses for lands to be acquired by the project and to address zoning compliance issues at properties where lands are required to be conveyed to accommodate L2EE project elements.

The zoning by-law amendments in this report affect lands which will accommodate the L2EE project, including emergency exit buildings, traction power substations, the future Scarborough Centre subway station and bus terminal, and new installations at the existing Kennedy Station.  The amendments apply to transportation uses only and are consistent with the City's zoning policies, and none of the proposed amendments reduce zoning permissions on abutting lands; nor will the amendments impact other uses permitted on properties affected by the amendments.
