This report recommends approval of an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a multi-phased, mixed-use development at 250 The East Mall (currently occupied by Cloverdale Mall). Phasing of the development would allow for the continuous operation of portions of the mall, including the grocery store, during construction. Key elements of the proposal are listed below.

- A total of 9 development blocks with 10 tall buildings ranging in height from 25 to 41 storeys (84.6 metres to 135.4 metres), 5 mid-rise buildings ranging in height from 6 to 12 storeys (23.6 metres to 43.5 metres), and a total of approximately 5,536 residential units in 4 phases of development.

Park Block A would be conveyed to the City in Phase 1 of the development, Park Block B would be conveyed in Phase 3, and Park Block C would be conveyed in Phase 4.

- The parks would be complemented by additional public realm elements including 2 privately owned publicly-accessible open spaces (POPS) within the northern and southeastern portions of the site, and 2 pedestrian mid-block connections from Dundas Street West to the Retail Main Square in Block 7 and to Street A.

- Three new pedestrian-oriented streets - Public Street A, Public Street B, and Public Street C (Retail Main Street), with Street A connecting the site with the East Mall on the east and Dundas Street West on the south, Street B connecting different parts of Street A, and Street C connecting Street A with The East Mall Crescent on the east.  Integrated bike lanes are planned within Street A, and Street C would focus on retail.

- Connections to the existing and future regional transit network including Highway 427 adjacent to the site on the west, providing important north-south connections to Highway 401 and The Gardiner Expressway.

- Phase 1 of the development would consist of Blocks 1, 2, and 3, and Streets A1 and B1 (as generally shown on Diagram 3 of the draft Zoning By-law) to provide servicing, frontage and access to the development blocks.

- Phase 2 would consist of Block 4 and Street B2 (as generally shown on Diagram 3 of the draft Zoning By-law) to provide access and servicing for Block 4.

- Phase 3 would consist of Blocks 5 and 6, Street A (Street A2) and Street B (Street B3), and Street C (as generally shown on Diagram 3 of the draft Zoning By-law) to provide frontage, servicing and access to the development blocks.

- Phase 4 would consist of Blocks 7, 8, and 9 which are serviced from Street C (as generally shown on Diagram 3 of the draft Zoning By-law).

- The proposed phasing of the development would allow for the continuous operation of portions of the mall (including the grocery store) during construction.

A Draft Plan of Subdivision application has been submitted to create the necessary development blocks, park blocks, streets and open spaces to support the proposed development and secure the proposed phasing plan.

The Director, Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services recommends that:  

1. Etobicoke York Community Council not authorize all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Whitfield Avenue and Emily Avenue.

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

There is no financial impact resulting from the adoption of the recommendation in this report.

If Etobicoke York Community Council amends the recommendation in this report and authorizes the installation of all-way stop control, the estimated cost associated with the amendment is $1000.00. Funding would be subject to availability and competing priorities within the Transportation Services 2026 interim Operating and Capital Budgets.

Councillor Amber Morley recommends that:

1. Etobicoke York Community Council re-open Item EY21.15 - 37 Advance Road and 212-216 Norseman Street - Encroachment Agreement.

2. Etobicoke York Community Council amend its decision by deleting the word “City” and replace it with “General Manager, Transportation Services” so that it now reads:

"1. Authorized the General Manager, Transportation Services to enter into an encroachment agreement (the "Agreement") with the property owner of 37 Advance Road and 212-216 Norseman Street permitting two existing storm control maintenance holes and one existing sanitary control maintenance hole (the "Encroachment") on the terms and conditions to be set out by the Director, Permits and Enforcement, Transportation Services and on any other or amended terms and conditions satisfactory to the General Manager of Transportation Services and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor."

City staff are in the process of executing an encroachment agreement for the property at 37 Advance Rd (212–216 Advance Rd). This encroachment was previously reported to Council and authorized in April 2025. However, due to the wording of the decision report, specifically the phrase “Authorized the City to enter into an encroachment agreement…”, Legal Services has advised that the agreement cannot be executed as encroachment agreements are typically executed by the General Manager, Transportation Services. Accordingly, it is requested that the authorization be amended to read: “Authorized the General Manager, Transportation Services, to enter into an encroachment agreement…”.

Etobicoke York Community Council will introduce bills.
