Summary

This report recommends approval of a Rental Housing Demolition application which proposes to demolish two 4-storey apartment buildings containing a total of 128 rental dwelling units located at 7 and 11 Rochefort Drive. The 128 rental units are proposed to be replaced as part of the new development on the site. The proposal includes a Tenant Assistance Plan that addresses the right of existing tenants to return to replacement rental units at similar rents and provides financial compensation to mitigate hardship.

 

The proposed development on the site at 7 and 11 Rochefort Drive is the subject of a related Zoning By-law Amendment application 21 239141 NNY 15 OZ which was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). The Ontario Land Tribunal issued a written decision on December 17, 2025, approving the Zoning By-law amendment in principle, with the final Order being withheld until all outstanding matters, including the rental housing matters and necessary agreements with the City, are secured. The Ontario Land Tribunal approval in principle permits the development of 3 residential buildings with heights of 53, 47 and 30 storeys (Towers A, B and C) containing a total of 1,496 dwelling units, including 128 rental replacement units. The rental replacement units are proposed to be replaced in Tower C which will be constructed as the first phase of a two phase development, along with Tower B.

 

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

Financial Impact

City Planning confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this Report in the current budget year or in future years.

Summary

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

 

ACLP – Sheppard Avenue Group is constructing a 12-storey residential building at 181 Cocksfield Avenue and 824 Sheppard Avenue West. The subject site fronts both Cockfield Avenue and Sheppard Avenue West.

 

By way of background, City Council at its meeting on October 8 and 9, 2025, adopted item - 2025.NY26.18 and in so doing authorized a closure of the pedestrian sidewalk and a 3.2 metre wide portion of the westbound lane on the south side of Cocksfield Avenue, between a point 60 metres east of Wilmington Avenue and Goddard Street, from November 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026, to facilitate staging operations for the underground garage construction.

 

Since the Council meeting in October 2025, the approved closures on Cockfield Avenue have not been implemented until early January 2026 due to delays in obtaining City permits for drainage and below grade construction. The developer is now requesting an extension for the duration of the closures on Cockfield Avenue to allow for the underground garage construction phase of the development to be completed.

 

It should be noted that since February 1, 2026 the site has been operating under a temporary Monthly Street Occupation Permit.

 

In view of the above, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area on Cockfield Avenue for additional three months, from March 1, 2026 to May 31, 2026. During the requested time extension period, pedestrian movements will be maintained within a protected walkway on the south side of Cocksfield Avenue, between a point 60 metres east of Wilmington Avenue and Goddard Street.

 

Furthermore, the issuance of the construction permit shall remain contingent upon the developers ongoing responsibility to clean and maintain the temporary walkway in a condition clear of snow and ice, as required, through the winter months for the entire term of the construction staging area permit. The applicant will also need to ensure that Cocksfield Avenue in the vicinity of the proposed construction staging area, as well as the residential driveways adjacent to the site, are maintained free of snow accumulation and snowbank sight-line obstructions during the winter months. In addition, the developer will be required to provide designated Traffic Control Persons, at the intersection of Cocksfield Avenue and Goddard Street to escort heavy trucks to the construction staging area, in order to ensure safe and efficient truck movements and eliminate conflicts with general vehicular traffic and pedestrian movements.

Financial Impact

The total estimated fees applicable to the Developer, which include the City Right-of-Way Occupation Fee, and the new Road Disruption Activity Reporting System (RoDARS) - Traffic Management Recovery Fee, amount to approximately $62,350.00. An overview of these fees can be found below.

 

- Based on the area enclosed and projected duration of the proposed closures on Cocksfield Avenue, the city right-of-way occupancy permit fees amount to approximately $62,000.00 including lost revenue from the parking machines (if applicable); and

 

- As of April 1, 2025, applicants are subject to the new Road Disruption Activity Reporting System (RoDARS) - Traffic Management Recovery Fee for the temporary closure of a traffic lane. Based on the proposed duration, length, and extent of the proposed lane closure on Cocksfield Avenue, this amounts to approximately $350.00.

NY30.14 - 120 Dallimore Circle - Addressing Changes to Parking Provisions, Community Bus Stop

Consideration Type:
ACTION
Ward:
16 - Don Valley East

Origin

(January 28, 2026) Letter from Councillor Jon Burnside

Recommendations

Councillor Jon Burnside recommends that:

  

1. City Council prohibit standing, Monday to Friday, on the southside of Dallimore Circle, between a point 93 metres southwest of Haldenby Terrace (east intersection) and a point 21 metres further southwest.

Summary

Multiple residents have contacted my office regarding a new community bus stop in front of 120 Dallimore Circle. This stop removes approximately three on-street parking spaces to accommodate an accessible bus stop. While I understand the need for such a stop, the current implementation restricts on-street parking at all times through a “no stopping” bylaw, even though the community bus only operates Monday to Friday.

Given the limited schedule of the community bus, I propose amending the by-law to apply “no stopping” restrictions only on weekdays. This change would allow visitors to park for up to three hours on weekends.

 

Reasons for changing the current ‘no stopping at all times’ provision:

 

- To allow for on-street parking during the weekend as the community bus stop will only be used Monday to Friday.

k. Kestell Lane, between Three Valleys Drive and the south end of Kestell Lane; and

 

l. Lacewood Crescent, between Three Valleys Drive (south intersection) and Three Valleys Drive (north intersection).

Summary

Several residents have discussed speed limit concerns within their neighbourhood. The roads of concern are local roads with the speed limits of 50 kilometre per hour, I wish to reduce this speed limit to 40 kilometre per hour in conformity with other local roads in Don Valley East.

 

Reasons for implementing these speed limit changes include:

 

- The desire to reduce vehicle operating speed and improve pedestrian safety.

 

- The need for a consistent posted speed limit on local roads, where some may not have sidewalks.

Ward:

Origin

(January 28, 2026) Letter from Councillor Jon Burnside

Recommendations

Councillor Jon Burnside recommends that:

 

1. North York Community Council amend the parking prohibition in effect at all times on the east side of Upjohn Road, between York Mills Road and the south end of Upjohn Road, to be in effect between York Mills Road and Dyas Road.

Summary

Toronto Police Services’ 33 Division has contacted my office regarding the insufficient amount of visitor parking available for their station. 33 Division’s station is located at 50 Upjohn Road, which is 400 plus meters away from the nearest major arterial road and TTC stop. The lack of parking on-site creates an issue because most people who visit 33 Division do so by car.

 

Given these circumstances, I would like to amend the current “no parking” by-law on the east side of Upjohn Road from the south end, north to Dyas Road.

 

Reasons for changing the current ‘no parking’ provisions include:

 

- Alleviating the lack of visitor parking for 33 Division.

 

- To ensure that drivers have a legal space to park if they ever need to speak or visit police.
