Decisions

The Scarborough Community Council:

1. Deferred the consideration of this item until the June 12, 2024 meeting of the Scarborough Community Council.

The Scarborough Community Council commenced a statutory public meeting on May 6, 2024, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application to demolish a two-and-a-half storey rental apartment building comprised of eight rental dwelling units at 3291 Kingston Road. The units will be replaced with eight new rental dwelling units as part of the approved redevelopment of the site consisting of a 12-storey residential building with 357 dwelling units in addition to the replacement units.

Two of the eight rental units at 3291 Kingston Road were previously demolished without permits and are recommended to be included in the Rental Housing Demolition permit and replaced as part of the application. The proposal also includes the provision of a Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan for all eligible tenants of the existing rental dwelling units, including the right to return to a replacement rental dwelling unit. The proposal also includes the demolition of two owner-occupied, single-detached houses at 2 and 4 Windy Ridge Drive.

The properties are also the subject of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application (20 209863 ESC 20 OZ) which was appealed by the owner to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) in August 2022 due to a lack of decision from  City Council. The Ontario Land Tribunal issued a written decision on November 10, 2023, approving the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment in principle, with the final order being withheld until all outstanding matters, including the necessary agreements with the City, are secured, including considerations related to rental housing matters.

This report recommends approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council designate the lands municipally known as 1891 Eglinton Avenue East, as a Class 4 Noise Area pursuant to Ministry of Environment Environmental Noise Guideline - Stationary and Transportation Sources - Approval and Planning Publication NPC-300, August 2013, as shown in Attachment 3 to the report (April 17, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning,.

2. City Council direct the Interim Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning or their designate to forward a copy of the City Council Decision Document to the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP).

This report recommends that City Council designate a portion of the lands known municipally as 1891 Eglinton Avenue as a Class 4 Noise Area under the NPC-300 noise guidelines administered by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP).

City Council accepted a settlement offer for a portion of the subject site which will result in lands at 1891 Eglinton Avenue East being redeveloped with a mixed use proposal consisting of a total of four buildings: three towers, with heights of 48 storeys (Building A), 44 storeys (Building B), 44 storeys (Building C), and one mid-rise building with a height of 12 storeys (Building D). The buildings would comprise a total gross floor area (GFA) of approximately 106,831 square metres of which102,190 square metres is residential gross floor area and 4,641 square metres is non-residential gross floor area. A total of approximately 1,700 residential units are proposed.

A Detailed Noise and Vibration Impact Study was prepared by RWDI to support to the proposed development at 1891 Eglinton Avenue East which concludes that the proposed development site is suitable for a Class 4 designation as defined in the NPC-300 Environmental Noise Guideline. The study was peer-reviewed for the City by RJ Burnside and Associates Limited and they concluded that the Class 4 area designation for the proposed development site is supportable.

Under NPC-300, a Class 4 Area designation allows for higher daytime and night-time sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a noise sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas. Any impact of the permitted higher levels would be mitigated by noise control measures that are part of the development of sensitive uses. Similarly, the slight increase in permitted noise levels provide for the continued operation of surrounding employment uses without impact caused by the introduction of residential uses on the subject lands. The Class 4 designation would apply to the identified portion of 1891 Eglinton Avenue East shown in Attachment 3 to this report and any future development of the site would be subject to further peer-review and potentially further reporting to City Council.

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate staff, to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal in opposition to the applications regarding the Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision appeals, in their current form, for the lands at 180 and 260 Brimley Road.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to continue discussions with the applicant to address outstanding issues, including but not limited to those outlined in this report.

3. In the event that the Ontario Land Tribunal allows the appeals in part, City Council instruct the City Solicitor to request the Ontario Land Tribunal to withhold its Order on the until such time as the Ontario Land Tribunal has been advised by the City Solicitor that:
 

a. the form and content of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments and conditions of Draft Plan of Subdivision approval are satisfactory to the Interim Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor;

On July 6, 2021, Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications were submitted to permit the redevelopment of 180 and 260 Brimley Road. The application also seeks to remove  the Holding "H" symbol in the existing zoning to facilitate the development of the  proposed plan of subdivision for an area of 15.625 hectares

The subdivision proposed a number of new public streets, a new public park and blocks to support the construction of 1,337 dwelling units comprised of 215 back-to back townhouses, 950 stacked back-to-back townhouses and 172 on-street townhouses.

On February 14, 2024, the Applicant appealed the applications to the Ontario Land Tribunal (the "OLT") due to City Council failing to make a decision within the prescribed time frames in the Planning Act.

This report recommends that the City Solicitor together with appropriate City staff attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing to oppose the application in its current form and to continue discussions with the Applicant to resolve outstanding issues.

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council approve 1880-1890 Eglinton Avenue East and 1523 and 1525-1545 Victoria Park Avenue (Golden Mile) - Public Art Plan as attached Attachment 1 to the report (April 17, 2024) from the Director, Urban Design, City Planning.

The purpose of this staff report is to seek City Council approval of the 1880-1890 Eglinton Avenue East and 1523 and 1525-1545 Victoria Park Avenue, Public Art Plan. The Plan, which is included as Attachment 1 of this report, outlines the method by which the owner will commission public art within the privately-owned, publicly accessible area of the site.

The Public Art Plan provides a framework and description of the commissioning of public art including: a land acknowledgement; introduction; owner; site context; public art direction; research overview; public priorities, public art opportunity, project vision; site selection; mentorship program; implementation; timeline; budget; selection process; engagement; communications; conservation and maintenance.

The attached plan meets the objectives of the City's Percent for Public Art Guidelines and is supported by the Toronto Public Art Commission.

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council adopt the Eglinton GO Area Urban Design Guidelines substantially in accordance with Attachment 1 to the report (April 17, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning.

2. City Council direct the Interim Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to use the Eglinton GO Area Urban Design Guidelines in the evaluation of all current and new development applications within the Study area as shown in Attachment 1 to the report (April 17, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning.

The Planner, Urban Design, Scarborough District, gave a presentation on Eglinton GO Area Urban Design Guidelines - Final Report.

In response to a series of development applications and interest for sites near the Eglinton GO station, City Council directed City Planning staff to initiate a Planning Study for the segment of Eglinton Avenue East generally between McCowan Road and Mason Road. The subsequent Council adoption of Official Plan Amendment 570 identified lands around Eglinton GO Station as a Protected Major Transit Station Area and included Site and Area Specific Policy 625 that provides for minimum densities for sites within the PMTSAs. With the planning framework anticipating intensification and limited guidance for the lands from a policy or zoning perspective it was important to examine the area and determine appropriate built form guidance for future development. The Urban Design Guidelines recommended for adoption in this report respond to the original Council direction and reflect a work plan initiated, developed and implemented by City Planning staff and informed by community and landowner consultation.

The Eglinton GO Area Urban Design Guidelines will assist in advancing the vision of a connected and sustainable community along a vibrant commercial main street anchored by the Eglinton GO Station and the Eglinton East Light Rail Transit (EELRT) line. The Guidelines seek a diversity of building types that will frame and support an attractive, green, and memorable public realm supporting non-residential uses at grade.

This report recommends that City Council adopt the Eglinton GO Area Urban Design Guidelines. This report also recommends that City Council direct the Interim Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to use the Eglinton GO Area Urban Design Guidelines in the evaluation of all current and new development applications within the Study area.

Transportation Services is recommending parking amendments on Lee Centre Drive to improve accessibility and sightlines for pedestrians crossing to/from Lee Centre Park. Installing pedestrian crossing protection would be potentially unsafe and problematic on this street, due to the road alignment and the presence of driveways. However, parking changes can be implemented to improve sightlines and remove parked vehicles from the uncontrolled pedestrian crossing desire lines.

These changes will result in the loss of approximately three pay-and-display parking spaces on the south side of the north leg of Lee Centre Drive. However, to add parking in the area and offset the loss of these spaces noted above, Transportation Services has confirmed it is feasible to install approximately three new pay-and-display parking spaces on the east side of the west leg of Lee Centre Drive.
