The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1. City Council amend Site Specific Zoning By-law 123-2016, for the lands at 14 Trent Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 1 to the report dated February 8, 2018 from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

The purpose of the amendment is to allow a cash contribution originally directed toward park improvements to be applied to public realm and laneway improvements in the area near Trent Avenue, Kelvin Avenue and Luttrell Avenue.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1. City Council refuse the application for Zoning By-law Amendment at 10-16 Wellesley Street West, 5-7 St. Nicholas Street and 586 Yonge Street for the reasons contained in this report.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor together with City Planning and other appropriate staff to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board in support of City Council's decision to refuse the application, in the event that the application is appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

3. In the event that the Ontario Municipal Board allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request the Ontario Municipal Board to withhold the issuance of any Order(s) on the Zoning By-law Amendment appeal for the subject lands until such time as:

a. The owner has provided draft by-laws to the Board in a form and with content satisfactory to the Director, Community Planning, Toronto East York District and the City Solicitor;

b. The owner and the City has secured appropriate community benefits in consultation with the Ward Councillor together with any matters to be secured as a matter of convenience with the final allocation and distribution determined by the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and enter into and register an Agreement to secure those benefits, pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act;

c. The owner has entered into Heritage Easement Agreements with the City for the properties at 10, 12, 14 and 16 Wellesley Street West, 5 St. Nicholas Street, and 586 Yonge Street (including 586A Yonge Street and 7 St. Nicholas Street) to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services including execution and registration of such agreements to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor;

d. The owner has provided a Conservation Plan prepared by a qualified heritage consultant for the properties at 10, 12, 14 and 16 Wellesley Street West, 5 St. Nicholas Street, and 586 Yonge Street (including 586A Yonge Street and 7 St. Nicholas Street) to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 64-storey (199.7 metres, including mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building at 10-16 Wellesley Street West, 5-7 St. Nicholas Street and 586 Yonge Street, consisting of a 4-storey (18.0 metre) podium element and a 60-storey tower element.  The proposal includes 466 residential units and 153 square metres of retail uses at grade.  A total of 47 parking spaces are proposed in a 3-level underground parking garage accessed from St. Nicholas Street.  The proposed development would retain the listed heritage building at 586 Yonge Street and retain the façades of the listed heritage buildings at 10-16 Wellesley Street West.  The buildings at 5 and 7 St. Nicholas Street would be demolished.

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

This application is not appropriate for the site. The site is not large enough to accommodate a tall building with appropriate setbacks, stepbacks, and separation distances to surrounding properties.  The proposed development does not adequately conserve the cultural heritage value of the site and the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District.  It does not conform to the Official Plan, including OPA 352 for tall buildings in the Downtown and OPA 183 for the North Downtown Yonge Area; is inconsistent with Council-approved guidelines and the Historic Yonge Street Heritage Conservation District policies; and does not fit within the existing and planned context for the area.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.  City Council refuse the applications to amend the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law at 995-1005 Broadview Avenue and 2-4 Mortimer Avenue for the reasons contained in this report.

2.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor together with City Planning and other appropriate staff to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board in support of City Council's decision to refuse the application, in the event that the application is appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

There are two applications discussed in this report. One application is to amend the

Official Plan to re-designate a portion of the subject lands (2-4 Mortimer Avenue) from Neighbourhoods to Mixed Use Areas. The second is an application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 10-storey mixed-use building containing 111 dwelling units and retail at grade.

 
Planning staff recommend that the applications be refused. The proposal does not meet Official Plan policy for Avenues, built form principles, healthy neighbourhoods, or development criteria for the relevant land use designations.

The site is within Site and Area Specific Policy 509 (SASP 509) applying to Broadview Avenue north of Danforth Avenue. SASP 509 was approved by City Council on June 7, 2016 and therefore constitutes the most recent policy direction of Council and the direction of growth and intensification for this stretch of Broadview Avenue. SASP 509 is currently under appeal at the Ontario Municipal Board.

The applicant for this application is one of the appellants. An Ontario Municipal Board hearing is scheduled for April 9, 2018

SASP 509 is intended to: guide and manage moderate incremental development on Broadview Avenue, between Danforth Avenue and O'Connor Drive; complement, build upon, and strengthen the physical character of the area as a whole and within each of its five character areas; conserve and reinforce the area's natural and cultural heritage; and ensure compatibility between existing and future development.

The proposed 10-storey development is within Character Area B of SASP 509, which allows 5-storey mid-rise developments with appropriate step backs. The proposal is twice the height of the height permissions in SASP 509 and both applications fail to meet the policies of SASP 509 and the policies of the Official Plan as a whole. As well, the Official Plan Amendment application seeks to undermine the objectives of the Avenue designation in the Official Plan and the urban structure of the City.

The proposed 10-storey building is significantly taller than what the Official Plan would permit for new development on the subject property. As such, Planning staff cannot support the Official Plan Amendment or the Zoning By-law Amendment.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1. City Council refuse the application to amend the Official Plan at 1132 Broadview Avenue for the reasons contained in this report.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor together with City Planning and other appropriate staff to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board in support of City Council's decision to refuse the application, in the event that the application is appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan to redesignate the subject lands from Neighbourhoods to Mixed Use Areas and to permit an 11-storey residential building while maintaining the existing heritage coach house building at the rear of the site.

Planning staff recommend that the application be refused. Policy 5.3.1.4 of the Official Plan states that amendments to the Official Plan that are not consistent with the Official Plan's general intent will be discouraged. Further, the policy states that developments permitted through amendments to the Official Plan will be compatible with its physical context and will not affect nearby Neighbourhoods in a manner contrary to the neighbourhood protection policies of the Official Plan. The proposed amendment directly contradicts Policy 5.3.1.4 as the proposed amendment is not consistent with the general intent of the Official Plan and the development that the proposed amendment would facilitate is not compatible with the physical context and would adversely affect nearby Neighbourhoods.

The site is also within Site and Area Specific Policy 509 (SASP 509) applying to Broadview Avenue. SASP 509 was approved by City Council on June 7, 2016 and therefore constitutes the most recent policy direction of Council regarding growth and intensification on this portion of Broadview Avenue. SASP 509 is currently under appeal at the Ontario Municipal Board. The applicant for this application is one of the appellants. An Ontario Municipal Board hearing is scheduled for April 9, 2018.

SASP 509 is intended to guide and manage moderate incremental development on Broadview Avenue, between Danforth Avenue and O'Connor Drive; complement, build upon, and strengthen the physical character of the area as a whole and within each of its five character areas; conserve and reinforce the area's natural and cultural heritage; and ensure compatibility between existing and future development. The proposed 11-storey development permission is within Character Area E of SASP 509, which recognizes the existing physical character as a Neighbourhood, thus requiring that any new development respect and reinforce the existing physical character of that neighbourhood. The application fails to meet the policies of SASP 509.

The proposed 11-storey development proposal is significantly taller than what the Official Plan would permit for new development in an area designated Neighbourhoods. As such, Planning staff cannot support the Official Plan Amendment, which would facilitate the redevelopment of this site.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1. City Council direct the City Solicitor and City staff, as appropriate, to attend the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing, and to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment application for 451-457 Richmond Street West in its present form for reasons set out in the report (February 2, 2018) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

2. City Council authorize City Planning staff to continue discussions with the applicant on a revised proposal which addresses the issues set out in this report, including:

a. conserving the heritage property at 457 Richmond Street West consistent with the Official Plan and King Spadina Heritage Conservation District Plan;

b. reducing the proposed height and massing and increasing building stepbacks to avoid overdevelopment of the site and to limit the negative impacts on adjacent properties;

c. improving compliance with Council's approved planning framework for the area including the King-Spadina Urban Design Guidelines (2006); and

d. improving compliance with emerging policies reflected in the King Spadina Secondary Plan review.

3. City Council authorize the Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, to secure services, facilities or matters pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, should the proposal be approved in some form by the Ontario Municipal Board.

4. In the event that the Ontario Municipal Board allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request the Ontario Municipal Board to withhold the issuance of any Order(s) until:

a. the final form of the Zoning By-law amendments are to the satisfaction of the  satisfactory to the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto East York District and the City Solicitor;

b. the owner has entered into a Heritage Easement Agreement with the City for the property at 457 Richmond Street West to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services including execution and registration of such agreement to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor;

c. the owner has provided a Conservation Plan prepared by a qualified heritage consultant for the property at 457 Richmond Street West to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services;

d.  the owner has addressed the outstanding items in relation to servicing outlined in the memorandum from Engineering and Construction Services dated February 8, 2017; and

e. community benefits and other matters in support of the development as are determined appropriate are secured in a Section 37 Agreement executed by the owner and registered on title to the satisfaction of the Acting Director Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the City Solicitor.

5. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and other City staff to take such necessary steps, as required, to implement the foregoing.

This application proposes to redevelop the site at 451-457 Richmond Street West with a 19-storey mixed-use building containing retail uses at grade and 139 residential units above. The building will have a height of 57 metres, including the mechanical penthouse.

The proposed development is not supportable because it represents an overdevelopment of the site, both in terms of built form and density and fails to conserve the existing heritage building. The proposal does not conform with Official Plan heritage and built form policies nor does it satisfactorily respond to the King Spadina built form urban design guidelines.  Issues raised by the proposal include:

- The proposed height at 19-storeys (57 metres) is not in keeping with the existing and planned context for the King-Spadina West Precinct which is intended to be of a mid-rise warehouse character;

- The proposed built form is not consistent with the King Spadina Secondary Plan and Built Form Guidelines which require new buildings to achieve a compatible relationship with the surrounding context through consideration of such matters as height, massing, scale, architectural character and expression;

- The heritage property on the site is not being conserved consistent with the heritage policies in the Provincial Policy Statement, Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, Official Plan and the King Spadina Heritage Conservation District Plan; and

- Appropriateness of the proposed reduction in outdoor amenity space.

The purpose of this report is to seek Council's direction for the City Solicitor and other appropriate City staff to attend an Ontario Municipal Board hearing in opposition to the applicant's current development proposal and appeal.

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

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.  City Council direct the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board in support of the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications for 462 Eastern Avenue subject to the applicant revising the proposal to ensure the entire building falls within a 45 degree angular plane at a height of 18 metres beyond the heritage structure along Booth Avenue, and subject to the conditions in this report.

 
2. In the event that the Ontario Municipal Board allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request the Ontario Municipal Board to withhold the issuance of its final Order until:

a. a final form of the Official Plan Amendment and  Zoning By-Law Amendment are prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning;

b. submission and acceptance of a Functional Service Report to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services;

c. the applicant pay for and construct any necessary improvements to the municipal infrastructure in connection with the Functional Servicing Report, to be resubmitted for review and acceptance by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services;

d. confirmation that City Planning has received a satisfactory Noise and Air Quality Study to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning;

e. the applicant enters into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the property at 462 Eastern Avenue in accordance with a Heritage Impact Assessment and architectural drawings and subject to and in accordance with an approved Conservation Plan, all to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, including registration of such agreement to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor;

f. the applicant obtains, in consultation with the Toronto Preservation Board, City Council approval for the required alterations to the heritage property at 462 Eastern Avenue pursuant to Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act;

g. the applicant provides a Conservation Plan, prepared by a qualified heritage consultant, that is consistent with the conservation strategy set out in a Heritage Impact Statement for the property at 462 Eastern Avenue to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services;

h. the applicant enters into an agreement under Section 37 of the Planning Act to secure the community benefits that are determined as per Recommendation 3.
 

3.  City Council authorize the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, to secure services, facilities or matters pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, as may be required by the Chief Planner, should the proposal be approved in some form by the Ontario Municipal Board.

In January 2012, the previous owner of the subject lands filed applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 7-storey mixed-use development on lands designated Employment Areas in the City of Toronto Official Plan.   In March 2015, the applicant appealed its application to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council's failure to enact the requested amendment within the time allotted by the Planning Act.

In December 2013, City Council adopted Official Plan Amendment No. 231 (OPA 231), which redesignated the Subject Lands from Employment Areas to Mixed Use Areas, which included Site and Area Specific Policy No. 416 (SASP 416).

In July 2014, the Minister of Municipal Affairs (the Minister) deferred a decision on the approval of OPA 231 based on the subject lands location within the Lower Don Special Policy Area.  The applicant subsequently appealed the Ministry's decision on OPA 231, and the current applicant Graywood Development Ltd., assumed the appeal.  The OMB consolidated the site specific appeals and the OPA 231 appeal, which resulted in a procedural phase of the Hearing.  Issues relating to land use designation and flood plain issues were resolved at a Pre-Hearing Conference on September 13, 2017.  At this time dates were set for a Hearing to deal with the site specific appeals. This Hearing will commence July 9th, 2018.

This application proposes the construction of a 9-storey mixed-use building with 308 residential units and 1,033 square metres of ground floor employment space fronting onto Eastern Avenue.  A total of 323 parking spaces were provided within a 3-level underground parking garage accessed via Logan Avenue.  The existing 4-storey building and the 2-storey addition on the heritage register at 462 Eastern Avenue is proposed to conserved and altered. 

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction with respect to the position of the City at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing. A separate report (dated November 21, 2017) from Heritage Preservation Services is scheduled to be considered together with this report.

This report recommends that Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to support the proposal at the Ontario Municipal Board.

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

The Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, recommends that:

1. City Council refuse the issuance of a demolition permit for the heritage property at 170 Merton Street, in accordance with Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

2. If the owner appeals City Council’s decision to refuse the issuance of a demolition permit under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the heritage property at 170 Merton Street, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and the necessary City staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing in opposition to the appeal.

The Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, recommends that:  

1. City Council adopt the Statement of Significance: 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East (Revised Reasons for Inclusion) attached as Attachment 4 to the report, January 22, 2018, from the Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division.

This report recommends that City Council adopt the revised Reasons for Inclusion (Attachment 4) for the property at 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East to ensure that all of the heritage values and attributes of the site are identified.

The property at 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East contains the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) headquarters (1954), comprising the adjoining office building and warehouse.  The complex occupies most of the city block bounded by Lake Shore Boulevard East (north), Cooper Street (east), Queen's Quay East (south) and Freeland Street (west).  It was listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties (now known as the Heritage Register) in 2005.

Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City of Toronto also applies for properties on its Heritage Register.

The property at 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East is the subject of an application for a mixed-use development that proposes to retain the Liquor Control Board of Ontario office building and partially retain the adjoining warehouse.  In 2016, the provincially-owned site was sold and is now in private hands.  The revised Reasons for Inclusion will assist in informing the ongoing planning process for the property, and will form the basis for the future Reasons for Designation as the site continues to evolve.

Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

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

6. City Council waive the application fee as found as reference no. 36.1 under Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 441, Fees and Charges, Appendix C, Schedule 2, Transportation Services, for applicants for outdoor cafés on a curb lane and public installations on a curb lane for the duration of the King Street Transit Pilot. 

7. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bills to give effect to Council's decision and authorize the City Solicitor to make any necessary clarifications, refinements, minor modifications, technical amendments, or by-law amendments as may be identified by the City Solicitor in order to give effect to the reasonable operation of the King Street Transit Pilot – Outdoor Cafés and Public Installations in the Curb Lane Public Spaces.

8.

9. City Council authorize the General Manager of Transportation Services, to enter into agreements, in a form satisfactory to the General Manager, and to execute the agreements associated with the issuance of permits for public installations on a curb lane for the King Street Transit Pilot Project.

Transportation Services is requesting approval to create parklet cafés and public parklets in the King Street Transit Pilot area to animate the street. Parklet cafés are curb lane spaces used for outdoor cafés. Public parklets are curb lane spaces for public uses such as street furniture, beautification (e.g., street art and/or planters) and other pedestrian amenities.

Transportation Services will work in partnership with Municipal Licensing & Standards to review and process the applications by businesses or sponsoring organizations for parklet cafés and public parklets for the Pilot area.

This report proposes waiving the application fee as found as reference no. 36.1 under Chapter 441, Fees and Charges, Appendix C, Schedule 2, Transportation Services, for applicants for outdoor cafés and public installations on a curb lane for the duration of the King Street Transit Pilot. This application fee is related to the right-of-way permit application fee and is being waived since the curb lane will be used to expand the public realm.

If this fee were to be charged for the nineteen (19) curb lane public spaces identified in this report, it would represent approximately $10,700 in revenue for 2018 (based on the proposed 2018 Schedule 2 for a one-time application fee of $552.52 per public space for an outdoor café or public installation on a curb lane, plus the non-recoverable portion of HST of 1.76%).

Outdoor café application fees and permit fees still apply as noted under Recommendation 2b and in the body of this report.

Other costs related to the outdoor cafés and public installations on a curb lane would be borne by the establishments or individuals seeking permission to construct and maintain these curb lane public spaces. 

The General Manager, Transportation Services recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council grant a temporary permit to each of Boxcar Social and John and Sons Oyster House for the operation of a parklet café within the north portion of Temperance Street between Sheppard Street and Bay Street, in one of the two (2) locations shown as a parklet zone on the drawing entitled. "Schematic Site Plan" attached as Appendix "A" of this report, for the period of April 15, 2018 to November 14, 2018, inclusive subject to the following requirements:

This report is required to enable the implementation and evaluation of a pilot project as the first phase of the potential transformation of Temperance Street into a flexible, shared street.

The proposed modifications to the section of Temperance Street between Sheppard Street and Bay Street will maintain the existing westbound lane of traffic and consolidate the existing Wheel-Trans stop and proposed parklet café and bicycle parking uses in the north portion of the travelled portion of the road adjacent to the northerly sidewalk.

The proposed modifications to the section of Sheppard Street at Temperance Street will enable the construction of a curb extension that is required for the placement of a proposed Bikeshare station.

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

All costs related to the parklet cafés will be borne by the establishments seeking permission to construct this facility.

All costs related to construction of the proposed curb extension will be borne by the Financial District Business Improvement Area.

The Acting Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District recommends that:

1. City Council approve the continuation of the closure of the south sidewalk on Queen Street West, between a point 17.8 metres west of Simcoe Street and 30.1 metres further west from March 31, 2018 to July 31, 2018.

2. City Council approve the continuation of the closure of the eastbound curb lane on Queen Street West, between a point 17.8 metres west of Simcoe Street to a point 41.3 metres further west and the provision of a sidewalk within the closed lane from March 31, 2018 to July 31, 2018.

3. City Council direct the applicant to continue posting a 24-hour monitored construction hotline number on the hoarding board, which must be prominently placed and legible from 20 metres and on all elevations from the construction site.

4. City Council direct the applicant to continue providing and installing public art, including mural artwork, onto every elevation of the hoarding board with adequate spotlighting for night-time illumination, at their sole cost, to the satisfaction of the Ward Councillor.

5. City Council direct that Queen Street West be returned to its pre-construction traffic and parking regulations when the project is complete.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Queen Street West, City Council approval of this report is required.

A 25-storey residential condominium building is currently being constructed by Malibu Investments Inc. at 219 Queen Street West. The site is bounded by Queen Street West to the north, an existing CIBC bank (205 Queen Street West) and Simcoe Street to the east, a public laneway (Ln S Queen W Simcoe) to the south and existing commercial uses to the west.

Construction staging areas for the development have been set up on the south side of Queen Street West and on the north side of the public laneway located to the south of the site.

The sidewalk and a portion of the eastbound curb lane on the south side of Queen Street West are closed to accommodate construction staging operations for the development.

Toronto and East York Community Council, at its meeting on July 4, 2017, approved the subject construction staging area on Queen Street West, from July 10, 2017 to March 10, 2018. Transportation Services is requesting approval to extend the duration of the subject construction areas for a period of 4 months (i.e. from March 31, 2018 to July 31, 2018).

The construction staging area within the public laneway also requires an extension of the duration. However, this matter is dealt through a companion report "Construction Staging Area Time Extension - Public Laneway (219 Queen Street West)" requiring Toronto and East York Community Council approval.

There is no financial impact to the City. Malibu Investments Inc. is responsible for all costs, including payment of fees to the City for the occupancy of the right-of-way. Based on the area enclosed and projected duration of the closure, these fees will be approximately $39,000.00.

The Acting Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council approve the continuation of the closure of a 3.3 metres wide portion of the public laneway (Ln S Queen W Simcoe), between a point 17.8 metres west of Simcoe Street and a point 26.0 metres further west, from March 31, 2018 to September 30, 2018.

2. Toronto and East York Community Council approve the continuation of the one-way eastbound operation on the public laneway, between Simcoe Street and Duncan Street, from March 31, 2018 to September 30, 2018.

3. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the applicant to continue posting a 24-hour monitored construction hotline number on the hoarding board, which must be prominently placed and legible from 20 metres and on all elevations from the construction site.

4. Toronto and East York Community Council direct the applicant to continue providing and installing public art, including mural artwork, onto every elevation of the hoarding board with adequate spotlighting for night-time illumination, at their sole cost, to the satisfaction of the Ward Councillor.

5. Toronto and East York Community Council direct that the public laneway (Ln S Queen W Simcoe) be returned to its pre-construction traffic and parking regulations when the project is complete.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws.

A 25-storey residential condominium building is currently being constructed by Malibu Investments Inc. at 219 Queen Street West. The site is bounded by Queen Street West to the north, an existing CIBC bank (205 Queen Street West) and Simcoe Street to the east, a public laneway (Ln S Queen W Simcoe) to the south and existing commercial uses to the west.

Construction staging areas for the development have been set up on the south side of Queen Street West and on the north side of the public laneway located to the south of the site.

A portion of the public laneway abutting the site have been closed to accommodate construction staging operations for the development.

Toronto and East York Community Council, at its meeting on June 13, 2017, approved the subject construction staging area on Queen Street West, from July 10, 2017 to March 10, 2018. Transportation Services is requesting approval to extend the duration of the subject construction areas for a period of 6 months (i.e. from March 31, 2018 to September 30, 2018).

The construction staging area on the south side of Queen Street West also requires an extension of the duration. However, this matter is dealt through a companion report "Construction Staging Area Time Extension - 219 Queen Street West" requiring City Council approval.

There is no financial impact to the City. Malibu Investments Inc. is responsible for all costs, including payment of fees to the City for the occupancy of the right-of-way. Based on the area enclosed and projected duration of the closure, these fees will be approximately $59,000.

1. Toronto and East York Community Council request the Acting Director of Transportation Services – Toronto and East York District to conduct a comprehensive safety review of traffic and pedestrian safety on Soudan Avenue between Bayview Avenue and Yonge Street.
    
2. Report back to the May 2018 Toronto and East York Community Council meeting with recommendations for safety improvements which should include but not be limited to; a plan to coordinate construction staging and truck routing for all developments related to both private and the Crosstown LRT construction; a plan to improve safety at key crossing locations and the feasibility of enhanced zebra and pavement markings; a plan to work with the Toronto Police Service on enhancing enforcement for drivers speeding, running stop signs and travelling the wrong way on one way streets. 

I am asking on behalf of the residents of Soudan Avenue for some coordinated support from Transportation Services to address some urgent concerns relating to traffic safety. Soudan Avenue is a residential street located immediately south of Eglinton Avenue, running between Bayview Avenue and Yonge Street.  For the next several years Soudan Avenue will face immense traffic impacts due to the construction of the Crosstown LRT and several private developments in the immediate area. 

The Crosstown LRT is the largest transit expansion project in North America. While the Crosstown LRT once constructed will be an incredible benefit for our community, its construction is also creating significant issues for the community. The intersections of Yonge and Eglinton, Mount Pleasant and Eglinton and Bayview and Eglinton have been, and will continue to be subject to turn restrictions to allow for the safe construction of the LRT stations. As a result many drivers have been avoiding these intersections and using Soudan Avenue instead.

We have already seen increased incidents of driver frustration along this corridor.  I, along with Transposition Services Staff, have met with countless residents along Soudan from Bayview to Yonge Street and the many north / south streets that connect Eglinton and Soudan in between. All are reporting the same concerns. More congestion, more rolling stops and more speeding.  

Within the immediate area of Soudan between Yonge and Mount Pleasant, the construction of private developments also are having a significant impact on area residents.

Currently there are active developments at 2131 Yonge Street (Yonge and Soudan), 2221 Yonge Street, 45 Dunfield (at Soudan and Dunfield) and 11, 15 and 17 Lillian Street and 142 Soudan Ave, 161-173 Eglinton Ave East (at Redpath Avenue). There is also a proposed development at 18 Brownlow, as well as a proposed expansion of the existing Briton House Retirement Centre to include a 25 storey tower at Soudan Avenue and Brownlow.  

All of these developments have, and will continue to have an impact on the volume of traffic in between Mount Pleasant and Yonge Street. While arrangements have been made with the builder at 2131 Yonge Street to prevent their contractor's trucks from going east of their site along Soudan or Hillsdale Avenue East, for some of the other developments it is impossible for them to access their site without using Soudan Avenue. 

There have been longstanding concerns about traffic safety along Soudan Ave which runs parallel to Eglinton Ave East – and has always offered a relatively unobstructed route for drivers wishing to avoid using major arterial roads. Recent construction on Eglinton Avenue for the construction of the Crosstown LRT and developments have exacerbated this issue to the point where even greater intervention is required.    

Residents have expressed concern that it is dangerous to cross at both Brownlow and Soudan and Redpath and Soudan, which is a walking route for parents and children going to Eglinton PS.  Similar concerns have been brought forward along the stretch of Soudan Avenue between Bayview and Mount Pleasant as well, including the many connecting streets between Soudan and Eglinton Ave East.

Toronto Building recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Refuse the applications to demolish the mixed-use building on the lands because there is no building permit for a replacement building on the site;

Or, in the alternative,

2. Approve the application to demolish the subject buildings containing a residential use at 342-346 Davenport Road, notwithstanding that there is no building permit for a replacement building on the site at this time, with the following conditions:

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

b. that any holes on the property resulting from the demolition of the buildings is 

    backfilled with clean fill;

c. that solid construction hoarding be erected to the rear of the site adjacent  

    to "Designers Walk Lane" and such hoarding to be designed complete with a lighting   

    plan to the satisfaction of the local councillor in consultation with the local    

    neighbourhood;

d. that all demolition and construction staging activity be restricted to Davenport Road;

    and  

e. any further condition(s), that in the opinion of Toronto East York Community

    Council is reasonable, having regard to the nature of the residential properties to

    be demolished.

In accordance with the city-wide residential demolition control under Article II, Demolition Control, of Municipal Code Ch. 363, as amended by By-law No. 1009-2006, enacted by City Council on September 27, 2006 under the authority of Section 33 of the Planning Act, I refer the following three demolition application(s) 17- 238310 DEM, 17-17- 238308 DEM, 17- 238306 DEM for 342, 344, and 346 Davenport Road inclusive to you, to decide whether to grant or refuse the applications, including any conditions, if any, to be attached to the permits.

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

Not applicable. 

Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Prohibit stopping at all times on the west side of Dan Leckie Way, between Housey Street and a point 15 metres north.

2. Amend the existing parking machine regulation on the west side of Dan Leckie Way, between Housey Street and a point 75 metres north, operating from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Sunday for a maximum period of three hours at a rate of $3.00 per hour, to operate between a point 15 metres north of Housey Street and a point 37.5 metres south of Fort York Boulevard.

3. Rescind the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the west side of Dan Leckie Way, between a point 37.5 metres south of Fort York Boulevard and a point 41 metres south of Fort York Boulevard.

Area residents requested amendments to parking regulations on the west side of Dan Leckie Way, north of Housey Street, to improve sight lines and safety at this intersection. Prohibiting stopping at all times on the west side of Dan Leckie Way, between Housey Street and a point 15 metres north, will deter parking within close proximity of the intersection and improve site-lines. Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District staff have investigated and have no objections to the proposed amendments.

Councillor Ana Bailão recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Amend the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the east side of Emerson Avenue, between Bloor Street West and a point 83.8 metres north, to be in effect between Bloor Street West and a point 68.0 metres north.

2. Amend the existing parking prohibition in effect from the 16th day to the last day of each month, from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the east side of Emerson Avenue, between a point 83.8 metres north of Bloor Street West and Dupont Street, to be in effect between Paton Road and Dupont Street.

3. Prohibit parking from December 1 to March 31, inclusive, on the east side of Emerson Avenue, between a point 68.0 metres north of Bloor Street West and Paton Road.

4. Amend the existing parking prohibition in effect from December 1 to March 31, inclusive, on the west side of Emerson Avenue, between a point 83.8 metres north of Bloor Street West and Dupont Street, to be in effect between Paton Road and Dupont Street.

5. Prohibit parking from the 16th day to the last day of each month, from April 1 to November 30, inclusive, on the west side of Emerson Avenue, between a point 83.8 metres north of Bloor Street West and Paton Road.

6.  Amend the existing alternative side permit parking regulation on Emerson Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Paton Road to authorized permit parking from 12:01 a.m. 10:00 a.m. daily, on the west side only.

Residents have contacted my office and requested that on-street parking on Emerson Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Paton Road, be increased/improved.  After discussions with Permit Parking staff, it was determined that the west side of Emerson Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Paton Road, can accommodate approximately 6 additional parking spaces. 

Due to the fact that there are more parking spaces on the west side of Emerson Avenue (Bloor Street West to Paton Road), I consulted with affected residents on whether they would support switching parking from the east side of the street to the west side of the street.  To date, I have received nothing but positive feedback and I am by way of this motion requesting that parking be switched to the west side of Emerson Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Paton Road.

Councillor Paula Fletcher recommends that:

1. That the Director of Transportation, Toronto and East York, report to the April 4, 2018 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on:

a. Switching the Pick-Up and Drop-Off area for Withrow P.S from the north side of Bain to the south side of Bain;

b. Extending the times of the Pick-Up and Drop-Off Area to 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, except July, August and Public Holidays;

c. The addition of Parking Islands on Bain Avenue between Broadview and Ingham to increase parking supply.

Recently my office has received two separate requests from Bain Avenue, one from residents asking for expanded parking options, and one from Withrow Public School looking to expand the times for their Pick-Up and Drop-Off times to better match the realities of the school day.

Transportation Services has indicated that there is a solution that I believe will satisfy all parties. This involves a relocation of the Pick-Up and Drop-Off Zone to the same side as the school (improving safety for the children) and allowing residents to park normally on the north side of the street. This will be accompanied by an expansion of the permitted Pick-Up and Drop-Off hours.

Councillor Paula Fletcher recommends that:

1. That the Director of Transportation Services, Toronto and East York, report to the May 2, 2018 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on instituting a 1 hour maximum (permit parking excepted) on Heward Avenue between Queen Street and Eastern Avenue, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Recently my office has received a petition from residents of Heward Avenue, requesting that Transportation Services look into instituting a 1 hour limit during weekdays. A 1 hour limit is more proactively enforced by Parking Enforcement and ensures that residential streets are not used as a de facto commuter parking lot.

I would like to thank the residents of Heward who worked to get the signatures and I ask that Community Council support this request.

Toronto and East York Community Council direct that:

1. Staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 193 -195 McCaul Street, which includes the provision of light refreshments and, when required, childcare and accessibility resources including sign language interpretation at the sole cost of the applicant, together with the Ward Councillor.

2. Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site, and to additional residents, institutions and owners to be determined in consultation with the Ward Councillor, with any additional mailing costs to be borne by the applicant.

A re-zoning application has been submitted for 193 -195 McCaul Street that proposes a 19-storey residential/mixed-use building.

It is desirable for a community consultation meeting to be held in advance of receiving a Preliminary Report so that local residents can give their comments and feedback to the applicant without unnecessary delay. A meeting is being scheduled for March with the applicant and Community Planning staff.

1. That Toronto and East York Community Council reopen Item TE29.49 entitled "Construction Staging Area – 100 Howard Street"

2. That Toronto and East York Community Council amend Item TE29.49 by deleting Recommendations 5 and 7 and adding the following new Recommendations 5, 7, 20 and 21:

"5. Toronto and East York Community Council rescind the existing permit parking regulation in effect on the south side of Howard Street, between a point 107 metres west of Parliament Street and a point 32 metres further west.

Item TE29.49 entitled "Construction Staging Area – 100 Howard Street" was adopted as amended by Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting held on January 16, 2018. Some errors in the recommendations have since been discovered and require correction before related By-laws are enacted.  As such, a reopening and amendment of the Item is required.

Corrections to measurements provided in Recommendations 5 and 7 are necessary.  Also, stopping should be prohibited at all times on the south side of Howard Street at two sections of the roadway where permit parking and on-street pay and display parking spaces are being removed. These parking spaces are being removed to facilitate inbound and outbound turning movements of delivery trucks at the site.

Introduction and consideration of bills for enactment as By-laws.
