2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be require.

 

3. City Council allow the owner to provide a public art installation at the northeast corner of Kingston Road and Fallingbrook Road, to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, Development Review, as an in-kind contribution pursuant to subsection 37(6) of the Planning Act.

 

4. City Council attribute a value to the in-kind contribution set out in Recommendation 3 above, equal to 100 per cent of 4 percent of the value of the land (net of any exclusions or exemptions authorized under the Community Benefits Charge By-law), as determined the day before the day the first building permit is issued in respect of the development.

 

5. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Development Review to enter into an Agreement pursuant to subsection 37(7.1) of the Planning Act (the "In-kind Contribution Agreement") to address the provision of the in-kind contribution identified in Recommendation 3 above to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, Development Review, and the City Solicitor.

Summary

This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law for the site municipally known as 1212 to 1238 Kingston Road to permit the redevelopment of the subject lands with a 10 storey mixed use building, comprised of a total of 13,276 square metres of gross floor area. A total of 200 residential units are proposed, including 10 rental replacement units. A total 596 square metres of commercial gross floor area is proposed on the ground floor and 101 vehicular parking spaces are proposed to be provided in two levels of underground parking. Access to the underground garage is proposed from one driveway to the rear of the site off Fallingbrook Road.

 

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan. It would provide housing options in a mid-rise form, intensifying an underutilized site along Kingston Road consistent with the emerging context. It also replaces the majority of the existing commercial space on site, providing local services for existing and new residents.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

Financial Impact

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.

 

Community Benefits Charge

This Report requests Council approval of a Community Benefits Charge (CBC) in-kind contribution of Public Art to be located within the public boulevard at the northeast corner of Kingston Road and Fallingbrook Road. The estimated value of the proposed CBC in-kind contribution is equal to 4% value of the land that is the subject of the development or redevelopment in accordance with the CBC By-law. The percentage ascribed to the in-kind contribution will not be a direct CBC payment to the City.

Summary

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit the redevelopment of lands located at 20, 40, 50, 70, 80 and 100 Cowdray Court. The proposal would result in 2,157 dwelling units in multiple tall buildings ranging in height from 23 to 41 storeys, and 2,238 square metres of retail space (1.4% of total floor area). The proposed total gross floor area of 167,390 square metres represents a density of approximately 5.2 times the lot area.

 

The subject lands currently contain 4 commercial buildings and are approximately 6.6 hectares in size. The subject lands are located within the Agincourt Secondary Plan and subject to Site and Area Specific Policy 4 (SASP 4) which implements the Mixed Use Areas designation on the subject lands and provides for development criteria to guide their redevelopment. In addition to the development permissions set out above, the proposal will expand the existing Collingwood Park and reserves lands to facilitate the construction of a new, north-south road that will eventually be part of a connection between Village Green Square to Sheppard Avenue East.

 

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) (PPS). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan and delivers key city building priorities, including a mixture of housing units, non-residential uses, parkland and the realization of a road network that will improve connections and expand the existing local transportation network.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. It also seeks the necessary authorization to enter into appropriate agreements with the Owner to facilitate land exchanges to realign Cowdray Court and create more rational development blocks fronting the new north-south connection. Finally, this report advises that the Executive Director, Development Review, acting under delegated authority, intends to approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision necessary to advance the comprehensive redevelopment of the subject lands.

Financial Impact

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.

SC28.21 - 428 Livingston Road North - Request for Property Acquisition Review

Consideration Type:
ACTION
Ward:
24 - Scarborough - Guildwood

Origin

(December 12, 2025) Letter from Councillor Paul Ainslie

Recommendations

Councillor Paul Ainslie recommends that:

 

1. Scarborough Community Council request General Manager, Parks and Recreation to undertake a comprehensive review and assessment of the possibility and feasibility of purchasing 428 Livingston Road North for divisional use, exploring options for parkland, parking lot expansion, or other beneficial community uses for Greenvale Park.

Summary

I am requesting the Parks and Recreation Division undertake a review of the possibility of acquiring the property located at 428 Livingston Road North when it becomes available for sale.

 

428 Livingston Road North has the potential of offering flexible opportunities for beneficial use, including expansion of the existing parkland area, significantly expanding and improving the park parking lot to enhance safety and user access and/or developing other complementary community uses that directly support Greenvale Park operations.

 

-The property fronts onto Greenvale Park.


-The park currently features a highly utilized baseball diamond. The existing parking lot is frequently inadequate, resulting in vehicles lining up and parking along Greenvale Avenue and Livingston Road North. This overflow parking creates unsafe conditions for pedestrians, park users, and drivers.
 

Securing the property at 428 Livingston Road North to address the park deficiencies would benefit the community and park users and permit holders to fully utilize the sports field.

SC28.22 - Speed Limit Reduction on Dearham Wood between Galloway Road and Toynbee Trail

Consideration Type:
ACTION
Schedule Type:
Delegated
Ward:
24 - Scarborough - Guildwood

Origin

(December 17, 2025) Letter from Councillor Paul Ainslie

Recommendations

Councillor Paul Ainslie recommends that:

 

1. Scarborough Community Council reduce the speed limit from 40 km/hr to 30 km/hr on Dearham Wood, between Toynbee Trail and Galloway Road.

 

2. Scarborough Community Council authorize the amendment of Schedule XLV (Part 1) to City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950, Traffic and Parking, to remove Dearham Wood, between Toynbee Trail and Galloway Road, from being excluded from the Designated Area such that this portion of highway will then be included within the corresponding designated area in Column 1 in Schedule XLV (Part 1).

Summary

The posted speed limit on Dearham Wood between Galloway Road and Toynbee Trail is currently 40 km/h.

 

In 2020, Scarborough Community Council approved a reduction of the speed limit to 30 km/h for the adjacent section between Galloway Road and Poplar Road (SC12.23). The entire length of Dearham Wood is classified as a collector road.

 

Reducing the speed limit on remaining segment to 30 km/h will provide consistency along the corridor and improve safety for all road users, particularly in areas without sidewalks.

SC28.23 - Presley Avenue and Florens Avenue - All-Way Compulsory Stop Controls

Consideration Type:
ACTION
Schedule Type:
Delegated
Ward:
20 - Scarborough Southwest

Origin

(January 5, 2026) Letter from Councillor Parthi Kandavel

Recommendations

Councillor Parthi Kandavel recommends that: 

 

1. Scarborough Community Council authorize the installation of all-way compulsory stop control at the intersection of Presley Avenue and Florens Avenue 

Summary

Our office has been made aware of multiple collisions at the intersection of Presley Avenue and Florens Avenue, as well as recurring right-of-way conflicts and near misses, creating ongoing safety concerns for road users including pedestrians, cyclists, seniors, and children in this residential area with regular foot traffic from nearby schools and community destinations. 

 

All-way compulsory stop controls improve right-of-way clarity and enhance safety for all road users. While I understand the intersection does not meet technical warrants, documented safety concerns and strong community support justify the installation of an all-way stop to improve safety and neighborhood livability.

SC28.24 - Waldock Street - Parking Zones Adjustments

Consideration Type:
ACTION
Schedule Type:
Delegated

Origin

(January 12, 2026) Letter from Councillor Paul Ainslie

Recommendations

Councillor Paul Ainslie recommends that:

 

1. Scarborough Community Council amend the existing school bus loading zone, in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., on Waldock Street, between a point 133 metres east of Galloway Road and a point 37 metres further east, to be in effect between a point 151.5 metres east of Galloway Road and a point 18.5 metres further east.

 

2. Scarborough Community Council amend the existing maximum 30-minutes parking regulation, in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, between a point 90 metres east of Galloway Road and a point 43 metres further east, to be in effect between a point 90 metres east of Galloway Road and a point 61.5 metres further east.

Summary

As per the principal of Eastview Public School, the existing School Bus Loading Zone on Waldock Street is currently scaled for a capacity that far exceeds the school’s actual needs. Currently, the school is serviced by four to five buses. The current oversized zone results in a significant portion of the curb remaining vacant while simultaneously prohibiting parents from using that space for safe student drop-off.

 

The lack of a designated short-term stopping area has created a "friction point" on Waldock Street. Parents attempting to drop off students often stop in "No Stopping" zones or double-park, which forces following traffic to merge into the opposing lane to pass. By repurposing the surplus bus zone into a "Kiss and Ride" area, the school can provide a legal and predictable environment for families, thereby removing stopped vehicles from the active westbound through-lane and improving overall child safety.

 

These recommendations seek to right-size parking zones to match current school operations. These changes will alleviate traffic congestion and provide safer options for parents.

SC28.25 - Re-opening Item SC27.12 - Ellington Drive - Accessible Loading Zone (Ward 21, Scarborough Centre)

Consideration Type:
ACTION
Schedule Type:
Delegated
Ward:
21 - Scarborough Centre

Origin

(January 12, 2026) Letter from Councillor Michael Thompson

Recommendations

Councillor Michael Thompson recommends that:

 

1. Scarborough Community Council Re-open Item SC27.12, titled “Ellington Drive - Accessible Loading Zone” with respect to Recommendation 1.


2. Scarborough Community Council delete Recommendation 1 of its decision on Item SC27.12 and adopt the following instead:


1. Scarborough Community Council designate an accessible loading zone to be in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the east side of Ellington Drive, between a point 102 metres south of Guild Hall Drive and a point 13 metres further south.

Summary

Scarborough Community Council, at its meeting of November 27, 2025, adopted Item SC27.12 — Ellington Drive — Accessible Loading Zone (Agenda Item History: 2025.SC27.12).

 

Following further consultation with the applicant, it was determined that the originally approved dimensions were not optimal and that a minor adjustment would enhance the functionality of the accessible loading zone. As the original approval occurred less than one year ago, Council procedures require that the item be reopened and amended. Accordingly, Transportation Services is requesting a slight modification to the accessible loading zone to incorporate the applicant’s driveway, thereby improving accessibility and loading operations.
