This report requests that City Council deny the application for a permit to remove one (1) City-owned tree located at the front of 22 Edenbrook Hill. The applicant is requesting removal to address concerns that the tree is creating a sightline obstruction and is interfering with hydro wires.

The subject tree is a Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens) measuring 21 cm in diameter. Urban Forestry does not support removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located at 768 Windermere Avenue.

This report requests that City Council deny the application for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located at 768 Windermere Avenue. The application indicates the reasons for removal is that the tree is growing fast, over-shading the yard, and thereby preventing the planting of small perennial plants.

The subject tree is a Norway maple (Acer platanoides) measuring 44 cm in diameter. Urban Forestry does not support removal of this tree as it is currently in good condition, both structurally and botanically.

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

This supplementary staff report is in regards to a matter for which the Etobicoke York Community Council has requested Solid Waste Management to report back.  The original decision on the issue was delivered during the January 19, 2016 Etobicoke York Community Council meeting Item EY11.11.

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council approve the enactment of a “No Right Turn, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday” restriction for eastbound traffic on Lake Shore Boulevard West at Marine Parade Drive/Park Lawn Road.

The purpose of this report is to obtain approval to prohibit eastbound right-turning vehicles on Lake Shore Boulevard West at Marine Parade Drive/Park Lawn Road between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, for the duration of the rehabilitation of the Gardiner Expressway.

The proposed turn prohibition is to address the concerns of the Humber Bay Shores Condominium Association (HBSCA) regarding Marine Parade Drive being used as a short-cut to by-pass eastbound queued traffic on Lake Shore Boulevard West, east of Marine Parade Drive/Park Lawn Road.

As Lake Shore Boulevard West is a transit route, this matter requires the approval of City Council.

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council designate part or those parts of the private road or roads shown on the site plan filed with the Fire Chief in respect of the municipal addresses set out below, as fire routes pursuant to Municipal Code Chapter 880 - Fire Routes:

-  105 The Queensway

-  50 Queen Elizabeth Blvd.

-  300 New Toronto Street (Buildings A, B & C – Units #1-39).

2.  City Council authorize the Fire Chief and City Solicitor to take the appropriate action to make a designated Fire Route.

To obtain Council approval for the amendment of the Fire Route By-law to designate certain locations as fire routes within the meaning of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 880, as amended.

Fire Services uses designated fire routes as a key mechanism in regulating fire prevention, including the prevention of spreading of fires and the delivery of fire protection services.

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to:

a.  Undertake a review of the current planning framework for the Mount Dennis area including: built-form, density, height, and public realm of the properties on Weston Road between Ray Avenue and Humber Boulevard.

b.  Consult with the community, including landowners and other stakeholder groups, together with the Ward Councillor, to understand the community's concerns and to develop a vision for future development in the study area.

c.  Report back on the findings of the review and to provide recommendations for changes, if necessary, to the planning framework for the study area.

2.  City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to prioritize this planning study on the work program for 2017 or earlier.

Mount Dennis prior to amalgamation had a Secondary Plan and Urban Design Guidelines.  After amalgamation these were consolidated into several Site and Area Specific Policies (39 to 43, 53 and 320). Although Mount Dennis is not currently subject to extensive development pressure, the siting of a new Mount Dennis Station for the Eglinton Crosstown at the intersection of Weston Road and Eglinton Avenue West is seen as a catalyst for the area. 

To prepare for future applications, the existing policy framework should be reviewed and aligned so that a cohesive planning vision for the area can be determined. 

The local community has been involved in various initiatives that have taken place over the years and have expressed a desire to see development investment in the area.  A planning study would provide the policy framework and new zoning to provide for good-quality and appropriate development in this area.

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to:

a.  Undertake a review of the current planning framework for the study area including: built-form, density, height, and public realm of the properties on Weston Road between Parke Street and Wilby Crescent/Wright Avenue.

b.  Consult with the community, including landowners and other stakeholder groups, together with the Ward Councillor, to understand the community's concerns and to develop a vision for future development in the study area. 

c.  Report back on the findings of the review and to provide recommendations for changes, if necessary, to the planning framework for the study area.

2.  City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to prioritize this planning study on the work program for 2017 or earlier.

Recent initiatives including the Weston 2021 study and the Weston Community Hub are considered to be the foundation for future development potential in Weston Village, which is home to the Weston GO Station and a stop on the UP Express.

The Weston Village area has a number of existing site and area specific policies that apply to various properties throughout the area as well as two overall policies (SASP 45 and 51) that provide a broader perspective.  To prepare for future applications, the existing policy framework should be reviewed and aligned incorporating updates where necessary so that a cohesive planning vision for the area can be determined. 

The local community has been involved in the various initiatives that have taken place and have expressed a desire to see development investment in the area.  A planning study would provide the policy framework and new zoning to provide for good-quality and appropriate development in this area.

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located at 6 Erica Avenue.

This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located at 6 Erica Avenue.

The subject tree is a Norway maple (Acer platanoides) measuring 71 cm in diameter. Urban Forestry does not support removal of the subject tree as it is healthy and maintainable.

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located at 16 Chipstead Road.

This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one (1) privately-owned tree located at 16 Chipstead Road. The owner is requesting removal to improve clearance, facilitate the installation of services, improve aesthetics, and alleviate safety concerns.

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council exempt the applicant at 3011 Bathurst Street from the City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 parking requirement of one additional parking space and former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625 parking requirement of five additional parking spaces, subject to a $2,500.00 payment-in-lieu of parking, provided the applicant signs a Payment-In-Lieu of Parking Agreement with the City, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

This report seeks Council's approval to exempt the applicant from the parking requirement specified in the City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to provide one additional space and former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625 to provide five additional parking spaces. Instead of accommodating the parking on-site, the applicant has requested a Payment-In-Lieu of Parking to the City which amounts to $2,500.00.

The parking exemption is considered appropriate since the parking space shortfall will not have a significant impact on parking conditions in the area.

Section 40 of the Planning Act grants Council the authority to approve payment-in-lieu of parking. This application has been made pursuant to the City’s Payment-In-Lieu of Parking Policy, adopted in July 2004. City Council approval is required as this matter has not been delegated.

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council approve Patrick Rocca as the recipient of the 2016 Agnes Macphail Award.

The Agnes Macphail Award was established by the Borough of East York.  It continues today as an annual event to recognize an outstanding volunteer who lives within the boundaries of the former borough. 

The Agnes Macphail Selection Committee met, as established in the selection process, on Wednesday February 3, 2016 to examine the nominations received and to select this year's award recipient.

5. City Council authorize the appropriate City officials to take such actions as are necessary to implement the foregoing, including execution of the Section 111 Agreements.

North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on February 23, 2016 and notice was given in accordance with Municipal Code Ch. 227 under the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

This application for a Section 111 permit proposes to demolish three existing 3-storey  rental apartment buildings with a total of  18 rental units and one house-form building at 31-37 Helendale Avenue with 1 rental unit for a total of 19 rental units.  All units were assessed at affordable and mid-range rents. The application proposes a 29-storey mixed-use building with 378 residential units as well as full replacement of the 19 existing rental units plus 1 additional rental unit for a total of 20 rental units within the building.

Originally separate zoning by-law amendment applications were received for the site at 31-37 Helendale Avenue and the adjacent site at 2360-2378 Yonge Street. Each of the applications were appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board by their respective owners due to Council's failure to make a decision on each within the time allotted by the Planning Act.  Subsequently, the owners of the 2360-2378 Yonge Street site purchased the site at 31-37 Helendale Avenue and filed a consolidated application.

This report's recommendations are in regard to the rental demolition application on the consolidated site under Municipal Code Chapter 667, pursuant to the City of Toronto Act.  This report provides the results of the negotiations on the rental housing matters, an overview of the approved development, and makes recommendations to approve a Section 111 permit under Chapter 667 and Chapter 363 for the demolition of the 19 existing rental units subject to conditions of replacement. This report recommends entering into agreements under Section 37 of the Planning Act and Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act to secure these conditions.

The recommendations of this report fulfill these requirements.

North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on February 23, 2016 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

These applications by Deltera Inc (Tridel) and Toronto Community Housing Corporation propose amendments to the Official Plan, the Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan and North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 and seek permission to demolish the existing 121 social housing townhouse units on the site and replace them on the site with 115 social housing townhouse and apartment units with 132 parking spaces (including 17 visitor spaces) and 529 condominium units with 544 parking spaces (including 80 visitor spaces). 

The social housing component is proposed on the northern portion of the site and would comprise 48 dwelling units in 3-storey, back-to-back townhouses and 67 units in a 4-storey apartment building along Leslie Street. The  6 remaining social housing replacement units are proposed to be accommodated at the 3, 5, 11, 17, 21 Allenbury Gardens and 3 and 5 Kingslake Road location.

The residential condominium component is proposed on the southern portion of the site,

south of a proposed public road bisecting the site. The condominium development would comprise 529 dwelling units in a terraced 17-storey apartment building along the south edge of the site, a terraced 11-storey apartment building along the Leslie Street frontage, and 3 and 4-storey apartment buildings along the south side of a proposed public road.

The Official Plan amendment application proposes to re-designate the southern half of the site that falls within the Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan area from Neighbourhoods to Apartment Neighbourhoods and designate the site as a key development area with site and area specific policies to permit the proposed condominium development and the social housing replacement.

The Draft Plan of Subdivision application proposes the creation of five blocks, three of which will have the replacement rental housing, one block is proposed to be developed with condominium apartment building units and one block, along the southern portion of the lands, is proposed as public open space. The application also proposes a new public road through the site from Leslie Street.

The proposed development promotes intensification through a compact urban form and provides for a range of housing including the replacement of social housing and various housing forms and unit types.  It will promote ridership on the transit system and foster a healthy active community by creating safe and publicly accessible streetscapes, parks and landscaped areas.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan, the Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan and Zoning By-law, the rental housing demolition application and advises that the Chief Planner may approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision.

North York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council amend the former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625, for the lands fronting onto Avenue Road and within the Avenue Road study area, from Joicey Boulevard to Lawrence Avenue West substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 7 to the report (February 16, 2016) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District. 

2.  City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands fronting onto Avenue Road and within the Avenue Road study area, from Joicey Boulevard to Lawrence Avenue West substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 8 to the report (February 16, 2016) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District. 

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

North York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on February 23, 2016 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This City initiated application proposes to amend the former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 and the City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to revise the zoning by-law provision relating to third floor building step-backs for all buildings or structures within a portion of the Avenue Road study area, from Joicey Boulevard to Lawrence Avenue West.

As directed by City Council on May 12, 2015, a revision is required to provide clarity on the zoning bylaw requirement that any building or structure with 3 or more storeys must have a minimum 2.0 metre step-back at the top of the second storey, from all main walls facing a lot line which abuts a street, measured from the exterior face of the main wall.

This City-initiated amendment is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

The proposed amendment will clarify the wording of clause “f” in former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 and of clause “M” in the City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013.

As presently worded, clause “f’ in former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 reads as:

             (f) Building Step-backs

“Any building or structure greater than 3 storeys in height shall have a minimum 2 metre step-back of the main external building wall facing a lot line abutting a street, other than a public lane, at the top of the second storey. The stepback shall be measured from the main external face of the wall of the building at the top of the second storey.”

Clause “M” in the City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 is similarly worded.

The proposed change to both Zoning By-laws would read as follows:

“Any building or structure 3 storeys or greater in height must have a minimum 2.0 metre step-back at the top of the second storey, from all main walls facing a lot line which abuts a street, measured from the exterior of the main wall.”

The reworded Zoning By-law clauses would clarify that a step-back is required at the top of the second storey for any building 3 storeys or greater and for all walls facing a public street if the building is on a corner lot. This will assist in avoiding any future confusion over the interpretation of those particular clauses.

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council direct the City Solicitor to attend at the Ontario Municipal Board, together with appropriate City staff, in support of Community Planning’s position as set out in Community Planning’s report of January 11, 2016 respecting Application A1034/15NY for 164 Parkhurst Boulevard.”

At its hearing on January 21, 2016, the Committee of Adjustment refused variance Application No. A1034/15NY respecting 164 Parkhurst Boulevard to construct a new two-storey dwelling (the existing dwelling would be demolished).  The Committee of Adjustment Decision is attached.  In its report dated January 11, 2016 to the Committee of Adjustment, Community Planning recommended that the requested variances with respect to Floor Space Index be modified to be more in keeping with the intent of the Zoning By-laws.  The report of Community Planning is attached.  The Floor Space Index proposed by the applicant is 0.646 times the lot area, whereas the permitted Floor Space Index under the Zoning By-laws is 0.45 times the lot area.  Community Planning advises that although several properties within the neighbourhood have been approved at a Floor Space Index greater than is permitted under the Zoning By-laws, recent approvals for increased Floor Space Index on this section of Parkhurst Boulevard, have generally ranged between 0.45 and 0.54 times the area of the lot.   City staff also have concerns that certain variances may have been missed or incorrectly identified on this application and that additional variances may be required.

The applicant has appealed the refusal of the Committee of Adjustment to the Ontario Municipal Board.  A hearing has not yet been scheduled.

An application for consent and minor variance with respect to the property known as 4 Lovering Road (File A324/15SC) was heard by the Scarborough Committee of Adjustment on Thursday, January 21, 2016 for the permission to construct a new detached dwelling. On Thursday, January 21, 2016, the application was refused by the Committee of Adjustment on the following reasons:

-  The general intent and purpose of the Official Plan is not maintained.

-  The general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law is not maintained.

-  The variances are not considered desirable for the appropriate development of the land.

-  In the opinion of the Committee, the variances are not minor.

On February 10, 2016, the applicant appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

This request is made to authorize the City Solicitor and relevant staff to attend the OMB hearing to oppose the appeal and uphold the decision of the Scarborough Committee of Adjustment.
