Confirmation of Minutes - Meeting on December 5, 2025

Speakers/Presentations: The speakers list will be posted online at 8:30 a.m. on January 6, 2026.

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

The Director of Urban Forestry, Environment, Climate and Forestry recommends that:

1. North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 10 Glencairn Avenue.

This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties of 10 and 12 Glencairn Avenue. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is that the homeowner is concerned about the tree potentially failing due to defects and its proximity to a fence.

The white mulberry tree (Morus alba) measures 45 centimetres in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied, and the applicant is appealing the decision. Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant appeals the City's decision to deny a tree permit.

There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report

The Deputy Chief Building Official and Director, Toronto Building, recommends that the North York Community Council give consideration to the demolition applications for 383, 385, 387 and 389 Cleveland Street and decide to:

1. Refuse the applications to demolish the single-family dwellings because there is no permit to replace the building on the site; or,

2. Approve the applications to demolish the single-family dwellings without conditions; or

3. Approve the applications to demolish the single-family dwellings with the following conditions:

a. that a construction fence be erected in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Code, Chapter 363, Article 7, if deemed appropriate by the Chief Building Official;

b. that all debris and rubble be removed immediately after demolition;

c. that sod be laid on the site and be maintained free of garbage and weeds, in accordance with the Municipal Code Chapter 489; and

d. that any holes on the property are backfilled with clean fill.

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

In accordance with City-wide residential demolition control under Article 3, Demolition Control, of Municipal Code Chapter 363, under the authority of Section 33 of the Planning Act, the applications for the demolition of four semi-detached dwellings at 383, 385, 387 and 389 Cleveland Street is being referred to North York Community Council to consider as a building permit has not been issued for a replacement building. This staff report is regarding a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Future property tax may change due to a change in the property's classification.

Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin recommends that:

1. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Rawlinson Avenue, between Eglinton Avenue East and Broadway Avenue, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as North York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location.

My office received strong support from residents of Rawlinson Avenue, between Eglinton Avenue and Broadway Avenue, for the implementation of on-street permit parking.

Subsection 925-4B of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, provides that:

Where permit parking is not currently available and where a petition requesting permit parking signed by the residents of a minimum of 25 percent  of the total number of residential premises having a residential address on the street or the flank of the street is submitted to the General Manager, a poll shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 190, Polling and Notification, to determine if the residents wish to have permit parking on their road or area, as the case may be. In the event of a positive polling result, the General Manager shall report such result to the appropriate community council, which community council under delegated authority, shall be authorized to pass any necessary by-laws to implement permit parking on the road or area. In the event of a negative result, permit parking shall not be extended to the road or area, and no further permit parking poll shall be conducted for a period of two years.

As it stands, City Clerk’s staff have advised that polling is being paused, due to the ongoing labour disruption at Canada Post.

On both blocks of Rawlinson Avenue between Eglinton Avenue and Broadway Avenue, a resident petition showed support from more than 60 percent of the addresses for implementation of the permit parking program.

Given these special circumstances, I am seeking an exemption from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking. My office will distribute a letter to impacted residents to inform them of this motion.

The Director, Community Planning North York District recommends that:

1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 11 Greenbriar Road 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.

3. City Council require the owner to provide a Tenant Assistance Plan for tenants of the 1 existing rental dwelling unit proposed to be demolished to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.

4. City Council direct that before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, the applicant be required to:

a. Provide a lawyer’s undertaking to the City, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, securing the implementation of the Tenant Assistance Plan required by Recommendation 3 above.

b. Provide updated Vehicle Maneuvering Diagrams demonstrating ingress and egress for each stacked space to the satisfaction of Transportation Review.

This Report recommends approval of the application for a Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a three-storey residential building. The proposal includes one-level of underground parking, accessed from Dervock Crecent, with 24 vehicle parking spaces, including 3 visitor parking spaces and 22 bicycle parking spaces.

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 North York District recommends that:

1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law for the lands municipally known as 28-32 Evergreen Gardens substantially in accordance with the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law included as Attachment 5, and as generally illustrated on the Part Lot Control Plan on Attachment 3, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two (2) years following enactment by City Council.

2. Prior to the introduction of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law, City Council require the owner to:

a. provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor; and

b. register, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act agreeing not to transfer or charge any part of the subject lands described in Schedule “A” to this Report, without prior written consent of the Executive Director, Development Review or their designate to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to take the necessary steps to release the Section 118 Restriction from all or any portion of the lands in the City Solicitor's sole discretion after consulting with the Executive Director, Development Review at such time as confirmation is received that a plan of condominium has been registered or upon expiry or repeal of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law.

4. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title.

5. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to repeal or amend the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law to delete part of the lands described in the by-law, if the City Solicitor determines, in their sole discretion after consulting with the Executive Director, Development Review, that it is necessary prior to releasing or partially releasing the 118 Restriction from title.

6. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law as may be required.

This Report recommends approval of the application to exempt the lands from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act for the lands municipally known as 28-32 Evergreen Gardens to permit the creation of conveyable lots for five townhouse units.

This application will facilitate the creation of five Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) for the proposed townhouse units (Parts 2-6), and also Part 1 for a road conveyance to widen the Bayview Avenue right-of-way and Part 7 for a shared swale which extends along the entire width at the rear of the property as shown on Attachment 3.

A related Common Elements Condominium application (File No. 25 115684 NNY 15 CD) has been submitted to create a common element condominium corporation for the shared swale which extends along the entire width at the rear of the property referenced as Part 7 on Attachment 3.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the Official Plan. The lifting of Part Lot Control is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands.

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 North York District recommends that:

1. City Council classify the lands municipally known as 849 Eglinton Avenue East as a Class 4 Noise Area pursuant to Publication NPC-300 (Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Environmental Noise Guideline - Stationary and Transportation Sources - Approval and Planning) shown as Attachment 1 to this report.

2. The Executive Director, Development and Growth Division or his/her designate be directed to provide a copy of the City Council Decision Document to the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks (MECP).

This report recommends that City Council classify the development at 849 Eglinton Avenue East as a Class 4 Area under relevant provincial noise guidelines administered by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC).

A Class 4 Area classification allows for higher daytime and nighttime 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. The impact of such higher levels is mitigated by specified noise control measures.

An Environmental Noise Analysis prepared in support of the development with the lands at 849 Eglinton Avenue East confirm that the development can be appropriately considered for a Class 4 Area classification.

A Class 4 Area classification endorsed by City Council resolution would allow for existing industrial, manufacturing and transit operations close to the subject site, to use this noise classification and sound level limits in applications for required provincial approvals including operating certificates.

There are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.
