Item - 2023.TE9.6

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 209 Mavety Street substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (October 27, 2023) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

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

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on November 15, 2023 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013, to permit a Community Health Centre at 209 Mavety Street through an interior retrofit and renovation of the existing building.

In 2021, City Council authorized the City to enter into a Community Space Tenancy lease with Four Villages Community Health Centre for the City-owned space located at 209 Mavety Street.  The Four Village Community Health Centre is a not-for-profit organization that delivers a range of health services and health promotion programs to residents living in Toronto West such as the Roncesvalles, Swansea, Bloor West, and the Junction Area communities.  The services and programs offered by the organization focus on the needs of seniors, newcomers, families with children, and youth.

The recommended Zoning By-law Amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms with the Growth Plan (2020), and represents an appropriate use within the existing and planned context of the neighbourhood.
