Origin
Summary
This report brings forward a proposed King-Parliament Secondary Plan (proposed Plan), which is the outcome of Phases 1 and 2 of the King-Parliament Secondary Plan Review and concurrent study of the North Side of Queen Street East between Jarvis Street and River Street.
The proposed Plan builds on the success of the in-force King-Parliament Secondary Plan (1996) in addition to updated direction provided in the recently-approved Downtown Plan. The proposed Plan addresses heritage conservation, the improvement and expansion of parks and the public realm, and built form direction. The proposed Plan also includes specific objectives to support and enhance the employment cluster in the King-Parliament area and simplify the interpretation of overlapping policy frameworks that exist in the area. The Secondary Plan area comprises five Policy Areas, each reflecting a unique built form character.
As an area targeted for growth and new investment, the proposed Plan recommends that development provide a full mix of uses that are designed to be compatible with their existing and planned context, conserve cultural heritage resources and improve and expand the public realm.
The proposed Plan is consistent with the Toronto Official Plan (2006), Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019).
This report recommends that the proposed Plan be used as the basis for further stakeholder and public consultation to support the development of a recommended Secondary Plan, to be brought forward to City Council by Q3 2020. In addition to Secondary Plan policy development, the report recommends preparation of an update of Zoning By-law 438-86 and Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the King-Parliament Secondary Plan area. Consultation for the Zoning By-law amendments will be held concurrently with further Secondary Plan consultation activities.
