Incorporating the existing warehouse building into the proposal will help to maintain the industrial history and sense of place of this part of the City. The proposed change in use from industrial will reinforce the residential use prevailing in the surrounding area.

Staff worked with the applicant and the community to address and resolve various massing issues including appropriate setbacks and heritage conservation matters.  The provision of affordable housing and/or community service and facilities space through a Section 37 contribution and a range of dwelling unit types will help address housing and community issues. Staff recommend that Council support approval of the application.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

2. City Council authorize the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, to issue Preliminary Approval for the Rental Housing Demolition Permit under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code for the demolition of the 12 existing rental dwelling units at 507 King Street East after all of the following have occurred:

This application proposes to demolish 13 residential dwelling units (12 rental dwelling units and 1 owner occupied dwelling unit) located within the existing four-storey industrial building at 507 King Street East. The applicant also proposes to demolish an additional 3 dwelling rooms located within the existing building.

A related Minor Variance application has been submitted for the subject site and proposes to alter the existing four-storey industrial building by constructing a fifth storey addition associated with a proposed rooftop amenity space, undertaking interior renovations and expanding the permitted uses to include office space.

The subject site is zoned I1 D3 pursuant to Zoning By-law 438-86, as amended. This zone category does not permit residential uses. As such, replacement of the existing rental dwelling units and residential Gross Floor Area associated with the existing dwelling rooms is not permissible.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition Application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions, which include the provision of Tenant Relocation and Assistance and the obligation to replace the existing rental dwelling units if a Zoning By-law Amendment Application is submitted to the City to permit residential uses on the subject site within 15 years of Council's decision on this application.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with appropriate staff, to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") hearing to oppose the appeal respecting the Zoning By-law Amendment application (File No. 19 186473 STE 19 OZ) as proposed at 9-25 Dawes Road.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to continue discussions with the applicant to address the issues outlined in this report and to report back to City Council, as necessary.

3. In the event that the LPAT allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request the LPAT to withhold the issuance of any Order(s) until such time as the LPAT has been advised by the City Solicitor that:

- The final form of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor;

 
- The approval is to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, General Manager, Solid Waste Services, and General Manager, Transpiration Services; and

 
- Community benefits and other matters in support of the development are secured in a Section 37 Agreement executed by the owner and registered on title to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor.

On December 4, 2019, the applicant appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") citing Council's failure to make a decision on the Zoning By-law Amendment Application within the timeframe prescribed by the Planning Act. The first prehearing conference has not yet been scheduled.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law for the property at 9-25 Dawes Road to permit two towers atop a shared base building which comprises residential, retail and community space. The North Tower would be 24 storeys, and the South Tower would be 30 storeys. Together, a total of 684 units are proposed with a total gross floor area of 46,498 square metres.

This report recommends that the City Solicitor together with Planning Staff and other appropriate Staff be directed to oppose the appeal at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. The proposal requires further revisions to the site organization, the massing and scale of the towers, and to the public realm before the application can be considered to represent good planning. In its current form, the proposal is inconsistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), does not conform to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019), and does not conform to the Official Plan. The proposal also does not conform to the Council-adopted Official Plan Amendment 478.

Councillor Layton recommends that:

1. City Council exempt the implementation of Permit Parking on Beverley Street, between D'Arcy Street and Baldwin Street from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of Permit Parking at this location.

In 2019, my office received a petition supporting the implementation of permit parking on Beverley Street, between D'Arcy Street and Baldwin Street.

This block has residents without any access to off-street parking and as a result require street parking to meet their parking needs. During the polling process, the number of required ballots was not met even though those who did vote, voted in favour of implementing the program. 

I am seeking an exemption from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking as the residents that did vote, were in favour of implementing the permit parking program and the total was only 2 received ballots shy of meeting the required threshold.

Councillor Joe Cressy recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council amend Schedule A of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate the north and west sides of Little Norway Crescent, between Queen's Quay and Stadium Road, on a street name basis, under the operating hours of 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.

At its meeting of January 29, 2020, City Council approved item TE12.61, regarding an exemption for the implementation of permit parking on Little Norway Crescent, between Queen's Quay and Stadium Road, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking.

Subsection 925-4B, 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

Little Norway Crescent, between Queen's Quay and Stadium Road is a local roadway near Billy Bishop Airport. Residents are finding it difficult to locate available overnight parking spaces. Implementing permit parking would resolve their long term parking needs by provide a legal overnight parking option.

Councillor Joe Cressy recommends that:

1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize parking for a maximum period of one hour from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight daily on the south side of Carr Street, between Denison Avenue and Bathurst Street.

My office has received complaints from residents about long term parking and low enforcement on Carr street, and these neighbours have submitted a petition to switch Carr to a 1 hour parking zone.  Most streets in the neighbourhood have been designated as 1 hour parking for years, but Carr Street remains a 3-hour (unrestricted) zone. This amendment to authorize a maximum period of 1 hour will bring Carr Street in line with neighbouring streets, striking a balance for permit parking holders and accessible permits while allowing for temporary parking for visitors and services.

Councillor Matlow recommends that:

1. Request that the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, research and evaluate the property at 49 Heath Street West for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register and to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council with the results of this evaluation.

It has been brought to my attention by the community and a local historian that this property may have architectural and cultural significance. Preliminary research has already been conducted identifying the Brass family, which were a well-known Toronto business owners, as the original occupants of the home. This large home was then converted to a multi-unit dwelling after 1929 and remains so today.

This property is one of the last remaining homes of this character in the area and represents part of the history of the Deer Park neighbourhood. The home is currently up for sale and in order to preserve the existing property as a potential heritage resource, I am requesting that City staff urgently undertake an evaluation for inclusion to the City's Heritage Register.

Councillor Bailão recommends that Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Reduce the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Rowntree Avenue, between Old Weston Road and Prescott Avenue.

 
2. Reduce the speed limit from 50 km/h to 30 km/h on Chambers Avenue, between Rowntree Avenue and Rogers Road.

 
3. Reduce the speed limit from 50 km/h to 30 km/h on Rosethorn Avenue, between a point 38.6 metres north of Rowntree Avenue and Rogers Road, and from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Rosethorn Avenue, between Rockwell Avenue and a point 38.6 metres north of Rowntree Avenue.

4. Reduce the speed limit on Turnberry Avenue, from 40 km/h to 30 km/h, between Old Weston Road and Silverthorn Avenue.

Residents contacted my office seeking to better protect vulnerable road users on streets within the Silverthorn neighborhood area, where the speed limit is currently either 40km/h or 50km/h on area streets. Vision Zero 2.0 will eventually lower the speed limit on all local streets to 30 km/h, however implementation is planned on a ward-by-ward basis over five years starting in 2021. Area residents, including parents at the nearby General Mercer Junior Public School, requested that action be taken immediately. My response to residents is to request that speed limits be reduced in these areas through Community Council. Therefore, my purpose with this motion is to recommend that the speed limits on Rowntree Avenue, Chambers Avenue, Rosethorn Avenue and Turnberry Avenue be reduced to 30 km/h.
