Item - 2019.TE7.11

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 438-86, for the lands at 100 Devonshire Place, substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 6 to the report (June 5, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

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

3. Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, City Council require the Owner to:

a. Provide the results of fire hydrant flow testing and a comparison of calculated domestic and fire demand with available flow and pressure from the water system based on results of hydrant tests;

b. Provide a revised Functional Servicing Report to clearly indicate that the proposed development will have no negative impact on downstream sanitary sewer capacity and that no downstream sanitary analysis is required, to the satisfaction of Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; and

c. Pay for and construct any improvements to the municipal infrastructure identified in the revised Functional Servicing Report, to be submitted for review and acceptance by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, should it be determined that improvements to such infrastructure are required to support this development.

The Toronto and East York Community Council commenced a statutory public meeting on June 25, 2019 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes to add a 14-storey institutional tower at the northern portion of the existing four-storey Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport, which would form the base of the building at 100 Devonshire Place.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019).

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The application proposes a compact built form on a site that is appropriate for further intensification, within a built-up area, that would take advantage of existing infrastructure, provide new institutional uses, and contribute to the vitality of the campus and surrounding neighbourhoods.
