Speakers/Presentations: The speakers list will be posted online at 8:30 a.m. on October 22, 2025.

Introduction and Enactment of General Bills and Bill to Confirm the Proceedings of Community Council will be last items.

The Director, Community Planning Scarborough District recommends that:

1. City Council amend the former City of Scarborough Employment Districts Zoning By-law 24982 for the lands municipally known as 5705 and 5789 Steeles Avenue East substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment included 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 Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the development of 2 single-storey industrial warehouse buildings with ancillary office uses on currently vacant lands at 5705 and 5789 Steeles Avenue East.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024). It would contribute to the employment intensification on an underutilized site, and generate new employment opportunities on lands that are designated General Employment Areas in the City of Toronto Official Plan. The proposed development achieves the directions on promoting efficient development and intensified land use patterns, as well as expanding the area's range of employment uses.

This Report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Former City of Scarborough Zoning By-law No. 24982 (Tapscott Employment District).

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 refuse the applications for the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment (Application No. 25 138374 ESC 24 OZ) for the lands municipally known as 402, 404, 406 and 408 Livingston Road North for the reasons identified in this Report.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City Staff, to appear before the Ontario Land Tribunal in support of City Council’s decision to refuse the application, in the event that the decision is appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and other appropriate City Staff to take any necessary steps to implement City Council's decision, including requesting any conditions of approval that would be in the City's interest, in the event an appeal of Council's decision is allowed by the Ontario Land Tribunal, in whole or in part.

This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the development of a 35-storey residential building at 402-408 Livingston Road North. The proposed total gross floor area is 30,888 square metres with 442 residential units, resulting in a density of 5.4 times the lot area. A total of 336 vehicular parking spaces are proposed, located within one level of underground parking and four levels of above-grade parking.

The application is not consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement 2024 (PPS 2024) and fails to meet applicable Official Plan policies. The proposed scale and massing of the 35-storey building represents an overdevelopment of the site in a way that is not contextually appropriate.

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 District Manager, Municipal Licensing and Standards, East District recommends that:

1. Scarborough Community Council refuse to grant the application for an exemption permit, by the owner(s) of 17 Bellehaven Crescent to use the existing fence at it's current heights.

There is no financial impact anticipated this report.
