It’s been 18 months since the expansion of our Food Centre and Agincourt Community Services Association’s Dorset Park hub is an excellent example of how Agincourt Community Services Association leads this dynamic community asset with 9 community partners all working together to serve Scarborough residents get the services they need in a one stop shop.

The Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 2771 and 2773 Victoria Park Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to this report.

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.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the development of a four-storey stacked and back-to-back townhouse building containing 62 dwelling units and 31 surface parking spaces.

City Planning staff have reviewed the proposal and are recommending approval of the application in an amended form. Staff will refer to the applicant's original proposal as the "Applicant's Proposal," while the amended form of the application, supported by staff, will be referred to as the "Amended Proposal."

The changes made to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment address several concerns with the Applicant's Proposal raised through the development review process and in consultation with the community. This has resulted in an Amended Proposal with 1) greater building setbacks along Huntingwood Drive (an identified Major Street in the Official Plan) to enable the creation of an enhanced public realm; 2) a reduced massing to complement the existing physical character while having regard for the future redevelopment of the neighbourhood; 3) a minimum parking rate to reduce the impacts of parking spilling over onto neighbouring streets; and 4) amenity space for residents' exclusive use. A holding provision is placed on the lands to ensure outstanding engineering issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services prior to permitting the development.

The Amended Proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The Amended Proposal also conforms to the City's Official Plan.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law on the basis that the Amended Proposal represents good planning and will set a positive precedent for the future redevelopment of similar sites along Huntingwood Drive and Victoria Park Avenue.

The City Planning Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years. If City Council does not make a decision on this Report, there may be financial implications to the City to the current budget year and in future years.

The Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District recommends that:

1. City Council receive this report for information.

The purpose of this report is to provide updated directions on the holding provision and vehicular parking rates outlined in the Decision Report dated March 14, 2024.

The updated directions are to be reflected in the Draft Zoning By-law, and is based on the resolution with the applicant to better accommodate the Amended Proposal as supported by City staff.

The Director, Community Planning Scarborough District recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended, for the lands at 1125 to 1137 Markham Road and 2141 Eglinton Avenue East substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 7 to this report.

4. City Council approve the acceptance of on-site parkland dedication, subject to the Owner transferring the parkland to the City free and clear, above and below grade, of all easements, encumbrances, and encroachments, in an acceptable environmental condition to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation   subject to the following:

a. the Owner may propose an exception of encumbrances for tiebacks, where such an encumbrance is deemed acceptable by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, in consultation with the City Solicitor; and

b. such an encumbrance will be subject to the payment of compensation to the City, in an amount as determined by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management.

5. City Council approve a development charge credit against the Parks and Recreation component of the Development Charges for the design and construction by the Owner of the Above Base Park Improvements to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry & Recreation. The development charge credit shall be in an amount that is the lesser of the cost to the Owner of designing and constructing the Above Base Park Improvements, as approved by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and the Parks and Recreation component of development charges payable for the development in accordance with the City's Development Charges By-law, as may be amended from time to time.

6. In accordance with the delegated approval under By-law 229-2000, as amended, City Council be advised that the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning intends to approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision as generally illustrated in Attachment 9 of the report from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District, dated March 13, 2023, subject to:

a. the conditions from various City divisions generally listed in Attachment 8, which, except as otherwise noted, must be fulfilled prior to final approval and the release of the Plan of Subdivision for registration; and

b. any such revisions to the proposed subdivision plan or any such additional modified conditions as the Interim Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning may deem to be appropriate to address matters arising from the on-going technical review of this development.

7. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the local Ward Councillor and the City Solicitor, to continue to work with the applicant to explore an in-kind community benefit package pursuant to Section 37(6) of the Planning Act that includes the provision of affordable housing units within the proposed development and to report back to City Council for further instruction on any offer of in-kind community benefits made by the owner.

This application proposes to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended, to permit the redevelopment of the lands at 1125 to 1137 Markham Road and 2141 Ellesmere Road. The proposal includes three towers (18, 33 and 37-storeys in height) and an 8-storey mid-rise building. The proposal also includes a public park and two public roads which would be dedicated to the City. The existing structures on the site would be demolished.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with the Growth Plan (2020). The proposed development also conforms with Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) 322 by implementing new public road connections and adding a park to the area while maintaining commercial uses on the site. The proposal contributes to the emergence of an intensifying mixed use community at the southeast corner of Markham Road and Ellesmere Road and conforms with the Official Plan policies for Mixed Use Areas as further articulated by the Markham-Ellesmere Revitalization Study Urban Design Guidelines and Conceptual Master Plan and Site and Area Specific Policy 322.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The recommended Zoning By-law Amendment includes a holding provision (H) on the lands which can be lifted upon the submission of a Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer, Engineering Construction Services. The hold would also remain in place until confirmation that a lot addition application has been approved and additional lands acquired by the owner to facilitate an interim road condition required for the development and that other matters relating to the associated plan of subdivision were in place.

A related Draft Plan of Subdivision application has been submitted. This report advises that the Interim Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning intends to approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision application to create the development block, proposed park block and new roads/widenings.

The City Planning Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years. If City Council does not make a decision on this Report, there may be financial implications to the City to the current budget year and in future years.

The Director, Zoning and Secretary-Treasurer, Committee of Adjustment and Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District, recommends that:

1. City Council enact the temporary use zoning by-law amendment with respect to temporary public spaces substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 1 to this report.

2. City Council direct the Interim Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to report back to the Planning and Housing Committee prior to the expiration of the temporary use zoning by-law amendment on potential permanent city-wide modifications of zoning regulations for public spaces on private property.

3. City Council direct the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the temporary use zoning by-law amendment as may be required.

4. City Council direct the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend and support the temporary use by-law in its current form, should it be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal within the statutory timeframe of the Planning Act.   

PlazaPOPS, a not-for-profit organization, supports the transformation of parking lots and other under-utilized spaces into free, safe and accessible gathering places for the community and are proposing several public spaces on both public and private property in the Wexford Heights Business Improvement Area (BIA). However, Zoning By-law 569-2013 does not permit the reduction of lawfully existing parking spaces to accommodate these public spaces.

This report recommends a temporary use by-law pursuant to Section 39 of the Planning Act for three years to permit public spaces to occupy parking spaces or drive aisles leading directly to those parking spaces adjacent to commercial uses in the Wexford Heights Business Improvement Area (BIA). This will support planned public spaces to be installed and maintained in Wexford by plazaPOPS, a not-for-profit organization.

The proposed temporary use by-law will apply to all lots in the Commercial Residential (CR) Zone abutting Lawrence Avenue East between Victoria Park Avenue and Canlish Road. The by-law will also limit the size of these public spaces to 400 square metres per lot and permit entertainment such as performance, music or dancing, subject to a maximum size of 10% of the lot area and a minimum distance requirement of at least 10 metres from the Residential or Residential Apartment Zone categories.

Enabling public spaces on private property creates opportunities to support and animate the public realm, contribute to complete communities by providing places for rest, recreation and socialization, revitalize commercial main streets, and to be an asset for local businesses. Enacting a temporary use by-law will provide temporary permission for public spaces in Wexford as a pilot project, where staff can monitor the impacts of these spaces and consider potential amendments to zoning regulations on a city-wide basis.

The proposed temporary use by-law is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and the Official Plan.

The City Planning Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years. The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact Section.

The Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services recommends that:  

1. Scarborough Community Council prohibit parking at all times on the east side of Homestead Road, between Coronation Drive and a point 28 metres south of Skelding Court.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services is recommending that parking be prohibited at all times on the east side of Homestead Road, between Coronation Drive and a point 28 metres south of Skelding Court. This section of Homestead Road does not currently have a sidewalk on either side. Accordingly, pedestrians in this section must walk along the side of the street. A continuous sidewalk is planned over the entire length of Homestead Road; however, this work cannot be delivered in the near future.

The east side parking prohibition is recommended as an immediate measure to provide sufficient walking space for pedestrians. It will improve sightlines for motorists and prevent pedestrians from having to walk between, and around, parked vehicles. There will be a loss of approximately 35 on-street parking spaces.

The estimated costs of installing the signs are $2,000.00. Funding is available within the Transportation Services 2024 Operating Budget.

Councillor Jennifer McKelvie staff’s recommendations, below:

1. City Council designate a two-way centre left-turn only lane on Port Union Road, between a point 58 metres south of Island Road and Dear Gate.

2. City Council prohibit eastbound right-turns on red signal at all times at the intersection of Lawrence Avenue East and Port Union Road, bicycles excepted.

Construction on the Port Union Road widening project is underway. Transportation Services staff are recommending additional minor changes to Port Union Road to enhance safety and operations.

Councillor Michael Thompson recommends that:

1. Scarborough Community Council designate a two-way centre left turn only lane on Howden Road, between a point 58.5 metres north of Lawrence Avenue East and Laura Secord Walk and consider the installation of a watch your speed sign on Howden Road.

Concerns have been raised to my office by residents of Howden Road about traffic safety and speeding along the road.

In response to the residents’ concerns, I request that the Scarborough Community Council consider designating a two-way center left-turn lane between a point 58.5 meters north of Lawrence Avenue East and Laura Secord Walk. This aims to enhance safety for motorists and pedestrians alike. Additionally, I request the installation of a "watch your speed" sign on Howden Road to serve as a reminder for drivers to adhere to the speed limit, further enhancing road safety in the area.
