Community Council Recommendations
The Toronto and East York Community Council submits the item to Council without recommendation.
Decision Advice and Other Information
The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on September 11, 2012, October 10, 2012, November 6, 2012 and January 22, 2013, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.
Origin
Summary
By way of Order No. 2799 issued on October 3, 2006, the Ontario Municipal Board approved Official Plan Amendment No. 342 (By-law No. 25-2007) of the Official Plan for the former City of Toronto and site specific Zoning By-law No. 26-2007 to permit a mixed use development with two residential condominium towers and retail uses at grade on the lands municipally known as 40 The Esplanade. A Section 37 Agreement was entered into, which required the Owner of the lands to, amongst other matters, contribute $700,000 (with indexing) towards the creation of a municipal park on the lands bordered by The Esplanade, Market Street, Wilton Street and Lower Jarvis Street (known municipally as 125 The Esplanade).
This report recommends that By-law No. 26-2007 be amended to direct the funds originally allocated to the park to be reallocated to the Market Street Streetscape Improvement Project. This is a road narrowing and flexible boulevard project on Market Street between Front Street East and The Esplanade, less than two blocks east of the subject property. Any remaining unused portion of the funds would be directed to local parkland creation or improvements and/or local streetscape enhancement projects.
This report further recommends that the Section 37 Agreement for 40 The Esplanade be amended to reflect the reallocation of the $700,000.00 cash contribution (now $738,674.79 with interest).
