2. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 2759 and 2761 to 2763 Kingston Road and 52 St Quentin Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 6 to this Report.

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

4. City Council require the owner to provide and implement an acceptable Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning for Eligible Tenants of the existing rental dwelling units proposed to be demolished, addressing financial compensation and other assistance to lessen hardship, including the provision of rent gap payments.

5. City Council require the owner to enter into an agreement or legal undertaking with the City to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, securing the implementation of the Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan required by Recommendation 4 above, prior to the issuance of the Notice of Approval Conditions for Site Plan Approval by the Executive Director, Development Review or their designate, pursuant to Section 114 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006. 

This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the site municipally known as 2759 and 276 to 2763 Kingston Road and 52 St Quentin Avenue to permit the development of a 10-storey (36.83 metres including the mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building containing 95 residential units with retail on the ground floor. The development is proposed to contain 6,408 square metres of residential gross floor area and 433 square metres of retail gross floor area with two levels of underground parking with access from a private driveway off of St Quentin Avenue.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan. It will provide housing options in a mid-rise form, intensifying an underutilized site along Kingston Road consistent with the existing and planned context.

The Development Review 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 Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended by 988-2022 for the lands municipally known as 253 Markham Road, 12, 20 and 30 Dunelm Street substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included as Attachment 3 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.

3. City Council authorize City officials to take such action as is necessary to implement the recommendations above, including the amending and execution of necessary agreements as required.

This report recommends City Council approve a City-Initiated Zoning By-law Amendment which proposed revisions to City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended by Site Specific Zoning By-law 988-2022, including matters secured through Section 37 of the Planning Act as detailed in Schedule A.

An associated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Number 16 1735545 ESC 36 OZ was, approved by City Council in 2022 to permit the construction of a 783 unit (54,634 square metre) residential development. The approved development consists of four residential buildings ranging between 8 and 20 storeys in height (Buildings A, B, C, D), two blocks of three and a half storey stacked back-to-back townhouses (Buildings E and F) and a new 4,455 square metre (1.1 acre) public park. Vehicular access to the buildings is via a C-shaped private street off Dunelm Street, with parking located in an underground garage. The proponent has an opportunity to quickly advance the construction of Building A which would provide 245 affordable rental and rental controlled housing units, supported by financial commitments made by the federal governments and the City.

The proposed amendments recommended by this report would not assign any further development rights to the subject property but will help to facilitate the delivery of an affordable rental and rent controlled housing project in the first phase of construction (Building A).

The estimated cost for installing a PXO is $120,000.00.

The estimated cost of relocating one TTC bus platform on the south side of Huntingwood Drive at Ridgecrest Drive, along with the accompanying tree removals and drainage relocations, is $125,000.00.

Councillor Parthi Kandavel recommends that:

1. Scarborough Community Council authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Fishleigh Drive, between Glen Everest Road and Midland Avenue.

2. Scarborough Community Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install thirteen speed humps on Fishleigh Drive, between Glen Everest Road and Midland Avenue, generally as shown on the attached Drawings Number TC-446, and TC-447, dated January 2025 from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

This proposed motion is intended to address safety concerns of all road users, especially children, seniors, pedestrians, and cyclists residing on Fishleigh Drive. The residents of this area are facing a significant increased volume of traffic and associated speeding. Increased congestion of roads in the area resulting from increased construction and development work is adding pressure to the existing road. Based on data, we were able to understand that residents are overwhelmingly in support of traffic calming measures on Fishleigh Drive. Speed humps will improve safety and the quality of life for residents by allowing vehicles to travel at slower speeds. The following recommendations serve as an important tool to improve safety for community members.

(v) In the event the cash contribution referred to in subsection (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above has not been used for the intended purpose within three (3) years of this By-law coming into full force and effect, the cash contribution may be redirected for another purpose, at the discretion of the Chief Planner and Executive Director of City Planning, in consultation with the local Councillor, provided that the purpose(s) is/are identified in the Toronto Official Plan and will benefit the community in the vicinity of the lot. 

The zoning by-law amendment for the development at 1251 Bridletowne Crescent included a Section 37 Agreement. One of the community benefits secured in the agreement included the construction a 1.5 m pedestrian walkway from Timberbank Boulevard to the existing bridge over the channelized Highland Creek watercourse in a value of up to $250,000 through a Municipal Infrastructure Agreement The city has since then abandoned this infrastructure improvement and the amount has not been used.

Section 37 funds that are not used do not provide any community benefit. Thus, this motion directs staff to bring forward a City-initiated Zoning By-law Amendment to the first possible Scarborough Community Council meeting for a statutory public meeting to amend the zoning by-law to reallocate dormant funds to other capital improvements within Ward 22 Scarborough-Agincourt.

Scarborough Community Council will introduce bills.
