Agenda

Should City Council wish to reallocate the Section 37 community benefits related to the development at 11 Dunbloor Road, City Council can provide the following direction:

1.  City Council amend Site Specific Zoning By-law No. 751-2003, for the lands at 11 Dunbloor Road (formerly known as 5145 Dundas Street West) substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 1 to the report of the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, dated May 25, 2016. 

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

3.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor to amend the registered Section 37 Agreement for the property at 11 Dunbloor Road (formerly known as 5145 Dundas Street West) to reallocate the remainder of the original $225,000 contribution (plus accrued interest) for Section 37 community benefits to capital streetscape improvements within Ward 5.

4.  Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, require the owner to execute an Amending Section 37 Agreement, satisfactory to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, and the City Solicitor.

This City-initiated application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law and Section 37 Agreement for the lands at 11 Dunbloor Road (formerly known as 5145 Dundas Street West) to reallocate previously secured Section 37 community benefits for streetscape improvements within Ward 5.

At its meeting of May 15 2012, Etobicoke York Community Council directed staff to review the status of secured but unexpended Section 37 funds in Ward 5 for the purpose of identifying funds that could be reallocated to alternate appropriate community benefits and to undertake City-initiated Zoning By-law Amendments accordingly.

The property at 11 Dunbloor Road (formerly known as 5145 Dundas Street West) was identified as one such property with a Section 37 Agreement which could be amended.

At its meeting of July 16-19, 2013, City Council adopted recommendations to permit the Section 37 community benefits to be reallocated to a community centre and/or park improvements, if and when consent was provided by all the relevant parties to amend the Section 37 Agreement.

 This report is required because the current proposal is to reallocate the funds further, to be spent on capital streetscape improvements within Ward 5.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

Should City Council wish to reallocate the Section 37 community benefits related to the development at 11 Dunbloor Road to include heritage initiatives, City Council can provide the following direction:

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.  City Council amend the Official Plan by adding the lands subject to the Official Plan Amendment (see Attachment 1) at 2445 Lake Shore Boulevard West to the list of properties in Site and Area Specific Policy No. 265, substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment attached as Attachment 6 to the May 24, 2016 report from the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.

2.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Official Plan Amendment as may be required.

This City-initiated application proposes an Official Plan Amendment to allow for a lease extension by Storefront Humber Incorporated, a non-profit organization, on part of the lands known as 2445 Lake Shore Boulevard West to allow Storefront Humber to continue to operate in this location.

An Official Plan Amendment is required as the property is located in the Green Space System and is designated as Parks and Open Space Areas under the Toronto Official Plan.  The sale or disposal of City owned lands in the Green Space System and Parks and Open Space Areas is prohibited by Official Plan policies.  The extension of a lease that exceeds a period of 21 years is a form of disposition that is not permitted.  The building at 2445 Lake Shore Boulevard West has been leased to Storefront Humber Incorporated for a period of 20 years, since 1996, and the existing lease expires on May 31, 2016.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan for the purpose stated.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.  City Council repeal By-law No. 379-2015 for the lands located at 2 Station Road.

2.  City Council re-instate the R3 – Third Density Residential zone of the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code for the lands at 2 Station Road substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 2 to the Report of the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District dated May 11, 2016.

At its meeting of July 8, 2014 City Council approved a proposal for the adaptive re-use of the heritage building, the Wesley Mimico United Church, at 2 Station Road.  The application proposed a multi use facility including a new worship area, community uses and 30 seniors apartments.  Part 6 of City Council's decision stated that if the development did not proceed within five (5) years from the passage of the Bills by City Council, the site specific Zoning By-law Amendment would be null and void and new plans and drawings for the development of the site must be submitted to the City of Toronto for approval.

The execution of a Section 37 Agreement was required prior to the Bills being submitted to City Council.  The Section 37 agreement was executed on March 31, 2015 and City Council adopted By-law No. 379 -2015, a site specific zoning amendment for the property.  The Section 37 Agreement and Heritage Easement Agreement provided that should the City receive notice in writing from the developer that the proposal would not proceed, the Section 37 Agreement and the associated Heritage Easement Agreement would be terminated and the Zoning By-law provisions applicable to the site on the day immediately prior to the passing of the Amending By-law could be restored by City Council.

On January 24, 2016, the applicant provided the City with written notice that the project, as approved, would not proceed, and the owners waived the 90 day period for the termination of the Section 37 Agreement and the Heritage Easement Agreement.

This report recommends that Zoning By-law No. 379-2015 be repealed consistent with the terms of the Section 37 Agreement and the R3 – Third Density Residential zone in the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code be restored.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.  City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to the subject lands at 10-76 Dryden Way (Formerly 4750 Eglinton Avenue West) as generally illustrated on the plans in Attachment 1 to this report, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two years following enactment by City Council.

2.  City Council require the owner to provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, prior to the enactment of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law.

3.  City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title.

4.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law as may be required.

This application requests an exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act for the lands located at 10 – 76 Dryden Way (Formerly 4750 Eglinton Avenue West) in order to allow for the division of land to create conveyable parcels for the 68 townhouse units currently under construction.  It will also allow for the creation of reciprocal easements for those lots which have side yard building setbacks of less than 1.2m.

The proposal complies with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.  The lifting of Part Lot Control for a period of two years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of these lands.

This report reviews and recommends approval of Part Lot Control Exemption.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.  City Council authorize the Director, Transportation Services, Etobicoke York District, further to the request to examine the feasibility of establishing a raised intersection at the vehicular entrances and exits from 251 Manitoba Street and at 200, 250 and 300 Manitoba Street, to report back to the September 7, 2016 Etobicoke York Community Council meeting on the feasibility of installing traffic calming measures on Manitoba Street.

The purpose of this report is to review and report on the feasibility of establishing a bus route, a raised intersection and additional lay-by parking on Manitoba Street. At its meeting of March 31 and April 1, 2016, City Council adopted confidential Recommendations authorizing the City Solicitor to appear at the Ontario Municipal Board in support of a proposed settlement for a 499 unit apartment building at 251 Manitoba Street.

As part of its approval of the settlement, City Council directed the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to report to the Etobicoke York Community Council regarding the feasibility of establishing the following improvements, in consultation with Transportation Services and Toronto Transit Commission staff, as necessary:

1.  A raised intersection at the vehicular entrances and exits from 251 Manitoba Street and at 200, 250 and 300 Manitoba Street and the potential for 4-way stop signs at this intersection;

2.  A bus route servicing Manitoba Street running easterly from Grand Avenue to Legion Road North, and continuing to meet Park Lawn Road; and

3.  A lay-by on the south side of Manitoba Street to provide short term parking.

This report responds to that direction.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.  Staff be directed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 82 Buttonwood Avenue together with the Ward Councillor.

2.  Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site.

3.  Notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act be given according to the regulations of the Planning Act.

The application proposes to modify the previous approval for the redevelopment of West Park Health Care Centre at 82 Buttonwood Avenue (Official Plan Amendment No. 126 and Zoning By-law No. 1001-2010) approved by City Council in August 2010. The current application focuses on the hospital lands (Block A) and seeks to permit the development of a new hospital building as an alternative to the renovation of the existing hospital buildings contemplated in the 2010 approvals. In addition, the current proposal would necessitate adjustments to the configuration of the previously approved block plan, including modifications to the delineation of Block B and Block C. The modifications to Blocks B and C are limited to their delineation and area and do not seek substantial changes to the permissions that were a part of the previous approvals.

This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted application and seeks Community Council's direction on further processing of the application and on the community consultation process.

Transportation Services recommends that:

1.  Etobicoke York Community Council NOT approve installing fencing across the laneway between MacDonald Avenue and Lawrence Avenue West, east of Ralph Street in order to block access to pedestrians.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Following requests by local residents to block pedestrian access to a laneway due to concerns about illegal and antisocial behaviours, this report advises on the advantages and disadvantages of converting existing guardrails to full fences to prevent pedestrian through traffic on the public laneway which runs north-south between Lawrence Avenue West and MacDonald Avenue, east of Ralph Street. 

Reducing public through access on this laneway has the potential to reduce the rate of illegal activity now associated with pedestrian access. The advantage of closing the laneway to public access is to provide the abutting landowners with the benefits of a private lane, while being maintained by the City. The disadvantages of closing the lane include the removal of an efficient transportation link for a significant number of pedestrians between Lawrence Avenue West and MacDonald Avenue, including the local high school, Weston Road Collegiate. The closing of the lane with fencing would also be contrary to the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and may lead to situations where, as a result, the affected lanes become less safe due to limited access and visibility from the street. Once access is limited, there is also an increased likelihood that the lanes will be used for illegal parking. Finally, the addition of a chain-link or wood fence is likely to attract a variety of maintenance issues, including graffiti, garbage and weeds which will require additional City resources on an ongoing basis. As a result, City staff do not recommend that the laneway be blocked against pedestrian use.

The cost of adding new chain-link fences is estimated to be $3,000. In addition, the fences are likely to have ongoing maintenance costs which would have potential impacts on future operating budgets.

Funding for these costs is not included in the 2016 Operating Budget for Transportation Services.

The Deputy City Manager & Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.

Transportation Services recommends that Etobicoke York Community Council approve the following actions:

1.  The occupation of the westbound lanes on the north side of Sherway Gardens Road between Sherway Gate and a point 61 metres further east, from June 1, 2016 to November 30, 2016, as shown on the attached drawing.

2.  Direct that Sherway Gardens Road be returned to its pre-construction traffic when the project is complete.

EllisDon Corporation is expanding Sherway Gardens by demolishing 4,000m2 of existing floor area presently occupied by Sporting Life, replacing it with a 12,500 m2 Nordstrom Store and a three-storey parking garage. The subject site is located on the north side of Sherway Gardens Road, opposite Sherway Gate.

The Sherway Gardens site is regulated by By-law No. 1204-2007 (OMB), and currently consists of a one-storey shopping mall providing a gross floor area of 115,910 m2. The by-law allows the site to develop up to 157,930 m2 of retail-commercial gross leasable area. The westbound lanes on the north side of Sherway Gardens Road between Sherway Gate and a point 61 metres further east will need to be closed for a period of six months with this construction work. Two-way traffic will be maintained at all times on the south side of Sherway Gardens Road consisting of lane in each direction. A pedestrian walkway will be maintained on the north side Sherway Gardens Road, fronting the construction staging area.

This report presents a high level overview of the anticipated development process; general scope of work required for re-purposing; order of magnitude cost estimates; and related impacts on the site.

There is limited value for money in the repurposing of the sales centre as a community building relative to what the amenity would offer as a re-purposed structure. 

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as the land owner, City Planning, Toronto Building, and Transportation Services as Authorities having jurisdiction, and Parks, Forestry and Recreation as the potential facility owner/operator, have all provided a review and analysis in their respective areas for the development and re-purposing of the sales centre and site.

That the Etobicoke York Community Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, to report to the Etobicoke York Community Council meeting on September 7, 2016 for consideration of reducing the speed limits on all local roads in Ward 13 to 30 km/h.

Requests from residents of Ward 13 for speed reductions and traffic calming measures have increased in recent years. Residents are concerned with vehicle speeds and volumes on our residential streets. Our ward currently has 19 requests for traffic calming in progress or recently completed by Transportation Services. Each of these traffic studies take 6-8 months to complete as well as considerable staff and financial resources.

This street-by-street approach has left us with a patchwork of varying speed limits throughout the ward and in some cases, up to three different speed limits on a single street. Many in our ward supported the efforts of Toronto-East York Community Council which voted last year to make all local, residential streets 30 km/h and thought it would apply in their neighbourhoods as well. Since that time, I've heard from growing numbers that want to see this measure in Ward 13.

Research indicates that lowering speed limits to 30 km/h on residential streets reduces fatality rates and makes our streets safer – something that has been echoed by the World Health Organization and our own municipal agencies:

·  The Board of Health has advocated for lower speeds to reduce injuries and fatalities (April 30, 2012 –HL13.1 – 'Road to Health: A Healthy Toronto by Design'), recommending that the General Manager, Transportation Services consider reducing vehicle speed limits to 30 km/h on residential streets.

·  The City of Toronto adopted a new 30 km/h speed limit policy in 2015, recognizing the increased demand for lower speeds without physical traffic calming.

       
At Etobicoke York Community Council, Councillor Grimes (Ward 6) and I moved to have the General Manager, Transportation Services "report on measures to reduce traffic speeds in Wards 6 and 13, including a reduction in speed limits, to 40 km/h and 30 km/h, specifically in school zones, parks and near day cares," noting the dangerous levels of speeding facing our communities.

Consulting with Ward 13 residents, I received hundreds of responses in support of making this change. In addition to petitions, emails and calls on the subject, The Bloor West Village Residents' Association, the Bloor West Village BIA, the Junction BIA, the Swansea Historical Society, Cycle Toronto's Ward 13 Chapter and local environmental organisation Green 13 have all submitted letters of support for this measure on behalf of their members.

On behalf of the residents of Ward 13, I am requesting that Transportation Services report on the feasibility of reducing the speed limits on residential streets (local roads).

Municipal Licensing and Standards recommends that the Etobicoke York Community Council:

1.  Deny the application for the proposed boulevard café on the frontage of 2457-2459 Bloor Street West based on the application not meeting the bylaw requirements as outlined in Chapter 313.

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

To report on the refusal to issue a permit by Municipal Licensing and Standards for a boulevard café permit application on the frontage of 2457-2459 Bloor Street West.

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

That Etobicoke York Community Council:

1. Re-open Item EY13.30, headed "Traffic Calming/Speed Limit - Mould Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West and Pritchard Avenue", only as it pertains to Parts 2b and 2c of the decision.

2. Remove Sections b and c from Part 2 of the decision, and renumber them as stand-alone, so that the decision of EY13.30 now includes the following Parts 3 and 4:

Etobicoke York Community Council:

3. Approved a reduction in the speed limit on Mould Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West to Pritchard Avenue, from 40 km/h to 30 km/h.

4. Approved a reduction in the speed limit on Mould Avenue, from Pritchard Avenue to Corbett Avenue, from 50 km/h to 30 km/h.

At its meeting on April 5, 2016, Etobicoke York Community Council adopted, as amended, Item EY13.30, headed "Traffic Calming/Speed Limit - Mould Avenue, between St. Clair Avenue West and Pritchard Avenue," which authorized a poll to be undertaken to determine support for Traffic Calming on Mould Avenue.  Subject to favourable results of the poll, traffic calming is to be installed, together with a reduction in the speed limit on Mould Avenue.

The speed limit reduction was not to have been linked to the results of the Traffic Calming Poll, and was to be implemented immediately.

That Etobicoke York Community Council:

1.  Re-open Item EY12.12, headed "Front Yard Parking Appeal – 16 Raymond Avenue", adopted by Etobicoke York Community Council on February 23, 2016.

2.  Consider the Item at its next meeting on September 7, 2016, and direct that Notice be issued in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 918.

At its meeting on February 23, 2016, the Etobicoke York Community Council adopted Item EY12.12, headed "Front Yard Parking Appeal – 16 Raymond Avenue".  In so doing, the Community Council denied the request from the owner of 16 Raymond Avenue for front yard parking.

In light of recent changes to the parking regulations on this portion of Raymond Avenue, it is appropriate to reconsider this request.

Etobicoke York Community Council request City staff at Engineering and Construction Services to review and approve the naming of the subject laneway to "J Deleo Lane”, given the overwhelming community support in the form of a lengthy petition signed by local residents and business merchants along with neighbouring properties that abut the noted lane, and that the naming proposal complies entirely with the City of Toronto Street Naming Policy.

The Deleo family first opened shop under the business name Imperial Grocers back in 1956. In 1960, Tre Mari Bakery was established with the experience and expertise from family members that were professional bakers by trade. From the very beginning, the Deleo family were known for assisting recent immigrants to Canada living in the area.

As a young adolescent, Joseph Deleo began to work in his family business, and quickly proved himself by helping bake fresh bread daily, serving customers, and delivering groceries to their homes. When not working long hours and learning the bakery trade, he enjoyed playing hockey in the rear public laneway alongside his brothers, cousins, and many friends. In 1981, Joseph married Anne Marie and he helped raise their 4 sons while devoting a significant amount of time to the family business.

The bakery business demands long hours of intensive labour, day in/day out from dawn till dusk, including weekends and holidays. He was a selfless person that worked hard at everything he did. The discipline he learned was evident in his work habits and his determination is one of the defining features, which resulted in Tre Mari becoming such a success. Joseph’s entrepreneurial vision, coupled with his excellent customer service and friendly hospitality helped contribute to the success and vitality of our dynamic community, with Tre Mari Bakery becoming the focal point in the neighbourhood along with a destination place for fine Italian products.

Under Joseph’s stewardship, Tre Mari Bakery became one of the first businesses to offer a wide range of traditional Italian-Canadian brands, which you will still enjoy today along with the staples that older generation of Italian have bought for years such as amaretti, zeppoli, and sfoglia cake. All of which resulted in the bakery being recognized as a landmark within the Corso Italia Business Improvement Area. Sadly, unexpectedly, and most tragically, Joseph passed away on February 5, 2008, at the young age of 54. Although, this was the most tragic of times for the Deleo Family, it was a rallying point for the anguished family. Joseph’s wife and four boys were the catalysts that helped spearhead the revitalization, evolution, and gentrification of the bakery.

In order to commemorate Joseph’s legacy, the Deleo family are requesting to name the public laneway that runs on the south side of St. Clair Avenue West, between Greenlaw and St. Clarens Avenue to “J Deleo Lane”. This lane naming initiative will honour his many years of encouraging, motivating, and inspiring innovation as a local business operator whose roots were firmly planted in the local community.

Transportation Services give approval to naming the stairway located at the intersection of Regal Road and Glenholme Avenue that descends onto Davenport Road, "Dick Watts Steps", in honour of the late Dick Watts.  Transportation Services will also repair the asphalt ramp with a proper curb depression and install the plaque, free of charge, which will be supplied by the Regal Heights Residents' Association and inscribed with the name "Dick Watts Steps".

An application was filed on February 13, 2016 by the Regal Heights Residents' Association and subsequently forwarded to Transportation Services, Right-of-Way Management, requesting to name the stairway located at the intersection of Regal Road and Glenholme Avenue that descends onto Davenport Road "Dick Watts Steps" in honour of the late Dick Watts.

A site meeting to discuss the feasibility of this request was held on April 12, 2016 with staff of Transportation Services, Right-of-Way Management and members of the Regal Heights Residents' Association, whereby Transportation Services agreed to repair the asphalt ramp with a proper curb depression and also install the plaque, free of charge; plaque will be supplied by the Regal Heights Residents' Association, inscribed with the name "Dick Watts Steps"

1.  Etobicoke York Community Council request Municipal Licensing and Standards ensure the property at 16 Westleigh Crescent be maintained on a regular basis, once per month, to ensure that the grass is cut and the property is kept in order. Where any violation is found upon regular re-inspection that all appropriate enforcement measures are taken including required orders, Notices, remedial action at the owner's expense and court actions.

Vacant-derelict properties negatively impact neighbourhoods and individuals by becoming dilapidated, causing hazards, becoming unsightly, becoming infested with pests, attracting trespassers, impacting streetscapes and overall community standards.

The City, particularly the Municipal Licensing and Standards (ML&S) division, becomes involved on a regular basis with properties that have fallen into dereliction, and which are subject to repeated complaints from the neighbourhood in which they are impacting.
