The proposal also includes a 3-level underground parking garage containing 405 parking spaces.  The proposed development would require the demolition of the existing Salvation Army building at 77 River Street and the low-rise office building at 7 Labatt Avenue.

This proposal is the result of discussions between the City and applicant related to the applicant's appeal of the Ontario Municipal Board of the Queen-River Secondary Plan (OPA 287) and site specific development criteria.  The proposal represents appropriate intensification and reinvestment on a large underutilized site within a Regeneration Area.  While the height of the proposal exceeds that proposed by the secondary plan, the application has been revised to reduce the number of towers on site from 2 to 1 and provides an overall massing and land use that is more in keeping with the staff recommended and Council adopted Secondary Plan.  It provides retail, office and residential uses as well as an improved public realm consisting of widened sidewalks, street trees and a more animated street frontage on both River Street and Labatt Avenue.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on October 13, 2016, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This application proposes a four-storey residential building containing 22 stacked townhome units with associated below grade parking at 96 - 104 Coxwell Avenue.  A total of 20 parking spaces are proposed.  The related residential rental demolition application proposes to demolish 4 existing buildings on site.

A Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion application was submitted under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act to demolish the 4 buildings located on the subject lands containing 10 residential dwelling units, of which 4 are residential rental dwelling units.  This report recommends approval of the rental housing demolition application under Municipal Code Chapters 667 and 363.  Replacement of the residential rental dwelling units is not required.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.  City Council amend Zoning By-law 438-86, for the lands at 1030 Danforth Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 10 to report (September 20, 2016) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District; with Attachment 10 amended by:

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

This application proposes an 8-storey mixed-use building with a total of 53 residential units, 615 m2 of non-residential space at grade, and 41 below-grade parking spaces at 1030 Danforth Avenue.

The City Planning Division is recommending approval of the proposed development based on its location on an Avenue and on its planning and design attributes:

a.  the proposed development provides a transition in scale and density as it steps down from the Danforth Avenue mixed use corridor to the low density neighbourhood to the north;

b.  the proposed development achieves the City's public realm objectives, including desired sidewalk width on Danforth Avenue; and

c.  the site is an appropriate location for intensification.  The site is on Danforth Avenue, in close proximity to both Donlands and Greenwood subway stations, and close to retail, service, entertainment facilities, and places of employment.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law amendment application at 263-267 Adelaide Street West in its current form.

2.  City Council withhold a decision on the application No. 12 152672 STE 20 RH under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code pursuant to Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act 2006 to demolish rental housing units at 263 Adelaide Street West pending an Ontario Municipal Board decision on the related Zoning By-law Amendment application.

2.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to continue negotiations with the applicant to address the issues outlined in the report (September 22, 2016) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, including appropriate heights and massing for this development site, rental housing matters, and appropriate public benefits to be secured  pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, to determine if an agreement can be reached.

3.  City Council direct City Planning staff, in the event that the Ontario Municipal Board allows the appeal in whole or in part, to request that the Ontario Municipal Board withholds its Order(s) approving the application until such time as the Board has been advised by the City Solicitor that:

a.  the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments are in a form satisfactory to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor, and that they, among other matters, provide for the securing of the rental housing matters, including rental housing replacement, securing of rents and tenant assistance;

b.  a Section 37 Agreement has been executed and registered to secure the Section 37 contribution and related matters satisfactory to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning; and

c.  a Site Plan Agreement has been entered into between the City and the owner, that City Planning has issued Notice of Approval Conditions for Site Plan Approval, and all pre-conditions to such Site Plan Approval are fulfilled including addressing parking spaces and access, and loading and servicing issues as outlined in the memo from the Manager, Development Engineering, Toronto and East York District dated November 10, 2015.

4.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor and necessary City staff to take such necessary steps, as required, to implement the foregoing.

This application proposes to develop the subject site at 263 Adelaide Street West with a 49-storey mixed-use building (161.9 metres including mechanical penthouse) comprised of a 44-storey tower atop a 5-storey base.  The proposed development has an FSI of 27.4 times the lot area and a gross floor area of 39,348 square metres including 39,188 square metres of residential gross floor area and 160 square metres of non-residential gross floor area comprised of commercial uses at grade.  The proposed development would retain the façade of the existing 5-storey Purman Building, listed on the City's Heritage Register, which currently occupies the site.  Five levels of underground parking are proposed which would include 104 vehicular parking spaces.

The applicant has appealed its application for a Zoning By-law Amendment to the Ontario Municipal Board due to Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time prescribed by the Planning Act.

This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application given the inappropriate height and the massing in relationship to the heritage building on site.  The application does not conform to the policies of the Official Plan, constitutes overdevelopment and is not good planning or in the public interest.

A Rental Housing Demolition application has also been submitted under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act 2006 (implemented by Chapter 667 of the Municipal Code) to demolish the existing building and facilitate the redevelopment.  This application is required as the building now contains both commercial units and at least 12 residential rental units (including live-work units).  The revised proposal relating to the Rental Housing Demolition has not yet been submitted by the applicant.  This report recommends that the City's decision under Chapter 667 of the Municipal Code pursuant to Section 111 be withheld, until the OMB reaches a decision on the related Zoning By-law Amendment application.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve the issues outlined in the report (September 26, 2016) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, and to report to City Council on any settlement offer that may be provided, including Section 37 matters.

2.  In the event that the outstanding issues contained in the report (September 26, 2016) from the Director of Community Planning, Toronto and East York District are not adequately resolved, City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and other City staff, to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment (File No. 12 113502 STE 27 OZ) and Site Plan Control (File No. 16 126210 STE 27 SA) applications as proposed.

3.  In the event that the Ontario Municipal Board allows the appeals in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request that the Ontario Municipal Board withhold its final Order to approve the Zoning By-law amendment and Site Plan applications for the subject lands until such time as:

a.  the City and the owner have presented to the Ontario Municipal Board a Zoning By-law amendment that implements the decision of the Ontario Municipal Board in a form and substance satisfactory to the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the City Solicitor;

b.  community benefits and other matters in support of the development as are determined appropriate are secured in a Section 37 Agreement executed by the owner to the satisfaction of the Director Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the City Solicitor;

c.  the Toronto Preservation Board and City Council consider the alteration to the property designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and if required enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement; and,

d.  the Site Plan referral has been settled consistent with the Board decision on the zoning appeal and the Notice of Approval Conditions has been finalized by the City.

The Toronto and East York Community Council requested the Director, Community Planning, City Planning to monitor the ongoing discussions between the applicant, the Bloor Yorkville Business Improvement Association, the ABC Residents' Association and the Greater Yorkville Residents' Association and to report‎ the outcome of such discussions‎ directly to the November 8 and 9, 2016 City Council meeting.

On October 20, 2015, the owner of the property at 33-45 Avenue Road and 140-148 Yorkville Avenue appealed its application for Zoning By-law Amendment (File No. 12 113502 STE 27 OZ) to the Ontario Municipal Board due to Council's failure to enact the requested amendment within the time allotted by the Planning Act.  On August 4, 2016 the owner filed a referral of its Site Plan Control application (File No. 16 126210 STE 27 SA) to the Ontario Municipal Board.

This application proposes a new 30-storey mixed-use building with retail uses on the ground and second floors and residential uses above.  The tower height is 127.6 metres including a 6.5 metre mechanical penthouse. A total of 74 residential units, 179 resident parking spaces and 102 bicycle parking spaces are proposed. The applicant also proposes to alter the designated heritage buildings on the site, commonly known as York Square, by removing the majority of the buildings and retaining the west and south facades of the building at the corner of Avenue Road and Yorkville Avenue.

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction with respect to the position of the City at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing.

This report recommends that Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to oppose the current proposal at the Ontario Municipal Board, and continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve the concerns outlined in this report.

The currently proposal's height and massing does not comply with the policies in the Official Plan; does not fit within the existing and planned context for the Bloor-Yorkville and North Midtown Area; and, does not adequately conserve the heritage attributes on the property.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council refuse the application for Zoning By-law Amendment at 8 Elm Street for the reasons outlined in the report (September 16, 2016) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

2.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with appropriate staff, to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board in support of City Council’s decision to refuse the application, in the event that the application is appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

3.  City Council direct the City Solicitor to request the Ontario Municipal Board, in the event the application is appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board and the Ontario Municipal Board allows the appeal and permits additional height or density, or some variation, to:

a.  Secure the following community benefits with the final allocation determined by the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning in consultation with the Ward Councillor's office and enter into and register an Agreement to secure those benefits, pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act:

A payment to the City in the amount up to $ 2.9 million based on applications height and density (indexed to reflect increases in the Construction Price Statistics between the date of the Ontario Municipal Board Order and the delivery of such payment), for capital improvements in the vicinity of the site for one or more of the following:

i.        streetscape improvements;

ii.       multi-purpose community space;

iii.      parkland improvements within the area;

iv.      affordable housing; and

v.       library;

provided that in the event the cash contribution referred to in this section has not been used for the intended purposes within three years of the By-law coming into full force and effect, the cash contribution may be redirected for other purposes, at the discretion of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, provided that the purpose(s) is identified in the Toronto Official Plan and will benefit the community in the vicinity of the site.

b.  As a legal convenience, secure the following in the Section 37 Agreement to support the development:

i.  The Owner be required to pay for and construct any improvements to the municipal infrastructure in connection with a Functional Servicing Report as accepted by the City's Executive Directorm Engineering and Construction Services should the Executive Director determine that improvements to such infrastructure are required to support the development all to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services;

c.  Withhold its Order allowing the appeal in whole or in part allowing the Zoning By-law Amendment until:

i.   The Owner has entered into an Agreement under Section 37 of the Planning Act to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to secure appropriate public benefits and the Section 37 Agreement has been registered on title to the site to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor;

ii.  The Ontario Municipal Board has been provided with a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment by the City Solicitor together with confirmation the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is in a form satisfactory to the City; and

iii.  The Ontario Municipal Board has been advised by the City Solicitor that the Functional Servicing Report has been completed to the satisfaction of Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services.

4.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor and any other City staff to take such actions as necessary to give effect to the above recommendations.

This application proposes to redevelop the site at 8 Elm Street with an 80-storey mixed use tower.  The project is proposed to contain 469 dwelling units and 715 m2 of office space for a total gross floor area of 29,965 m2; this equates to a Floor Space Index of 45.6 times the area of the lot.  The proposed building would have a height of 259.5 metres including the mechanical penthouse.  The proposal also includes one level of underground parking which would be used for bicycles.

This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Zoning By-law as the proposed development site is too small to accommodate the proposed development.  The proposed development is not consistent with the PPS; does not conform to the Official Plan and is inconsistent with Council approved guidelines.  In particular:

-  tower massing and resulting transitioning do not fit within the existing or planned context;

-  the tower does not maintain adequate setbacks;

-  tower height is excessive with resultant shadowing;

-  development does not adequately protect the existing on-site heritage building or adjacent heritage buildings;

-  development lacks sufficient outdoor amenity space;

-  development lacks an appropriate number of family sized units;

-  no parking is provided; and

-   Functional Servicing Report does not adequately address Engineering issues and concerns.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council approve the alterations to the heritage property at 100 Queen's Park, in accordance with Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act, to alter the existing landing and stairs and construct a new accessibility ramp at the east entrance of the ROM on the lands known municipally in the year 2016 as 100 Queen's Park, with such alterations substantially in accordance with plans and drawings dated August 3, 2016 prepared by Hariri Pontarini, date-stamped received by the City Planning Division August 19, 2016, and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services; and the Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), prepared by ERA Architects Inc., dated September 6, 2016, date-stamped received by the City Planning Division on September 6, 2016, and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, all subject to and in accordance with a Conservation Plan satisfactory to the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services and subject to the following additional conditions:

i.  Provide a Conservation Plan, prepared by a qualified heritage consultant, that is consistent with the conservation strategy set out in the Heritage Impact Assessment for 100 Queen's Park prepared by ERA Architects Inc., dated September 6, 2016, to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services; and

ii.  Provide full building permit drawings, including notes and specifications for the conservation  and protective measures keyed to the approved Conservation Plan, including a description of materials and finishes, to be prepared by the project architect and a qualified heritage consultant to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services.

2.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor to amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement, registered on the title for the heritage property at 100 Queen's Park, Instrument No. AT347470 dated November 28, 2003 and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services.

3.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill in Council to amend the Heritage Easement Agreement.

This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations to the designated heritage property at 100 Queen's Park and give authority to amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement with the owner. The property at 100 Queen's Park, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The applicant is proposing to alter the existing landing and stairs at the east entrance of the ROM on Queen's Park and to construct a new accessibility ramp. City Council's approval of the proposed alterations to the heritage property and authority to amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement is required under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Toronto Preservation Board on September 28, 2016, considered a report (September 6, 2016) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division regarding Alterations to a Designated Heritage Property and Authority to Amend a Heritage Easement Agreement - 100 Queen's Park.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council include the property at 29 Sussex Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion): 29 Sussex Avenue attached as Attachment 3 to the report (September 14, 2016) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.

2.  City Council include the property at 33 Sussex Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion): 33 Sussex Avenue attached as Attachment 4 to the report (September 14, 2016) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.

This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 29 and 33 Sussex Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. 

Located on the south side of Sussex Avenue between Huron Street and Spadina Avenue, in the Huron-Sussex neighbourhood, these two companion properties are part of a trio of originally identical Second Empire style house-form buildings constructed in 1879. The adjacent property at 31 Sussex Avenue was recently restored by the University of Toronto.

Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the properties at 29 and 33 Sussex Avenue meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City of Toronto also uses when assessing properties for inclusion on the Heritage Register. 

The inclusion of the properties at 29 and 33 Sussex Avenue on the City's Heritage Register would identify all of the cultural heritage values and attributes of the properties and ensure they are conserved.

The Toronto Preservation Board on September 28, 2016, considered a report (September 14, 2016) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division regarding Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - 29 and 33 Sussex Avenue.

The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the report (May 11, 2016) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, respecting Heritage Evaluation - 51A, 53, 53A, 63, 65, 67 Mutual Street, until its April 4, 2017 meeting.

This report recommends the receipt of the heritage evaluation of the properties at 51A, 53, 53A, 63, 65, 67 Mutual Street.  The report concludes that these properties do not merit inclusion on the City of Toronto Heritage Register because they do not meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed by the Province of Ontario for municipal designation.

Located on the east side of Mutual Street, between Shuter Street and Dundas Street East, the properties at 51A, 53 and 53A Mutual Street contain three,  two-and-a-half-storey, brick clad row houses completed between 1885 and 1890.  To the north, the properties at 63, 65 and 67 Mutual Street contain three, two-and-a-half storey row houses; originally brick clad, they were completed by 1880.

The Toronto Preservation Board on June 2, 2016, considered a report (May 11, 2016) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division regarding Heritage Evaluation - 51A, 53, 53A, 63, 65, 67 Mutual Street.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council refuse the proposed alteration of the heritage property at 311 Sumach Street under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

2.  If the owner appeals City Council's decision to refuse the application for an alteration under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and the necessary City staff to attend at the Ontario Municipal Board in opposition to the appeal.

In accordance with the Cabbagetown South Heritage Conservation District Plan, this report recommends that City Council refuse the proposed alteration to 311 Sumach Street, a property designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proposed porch design is conjectural, not based on adequate historical evidence and lacks a roof, one of the key attributes of historic porches in Cabbagetown identified in the HCD Plan.

The Toronto Preservation Board on September 28, 2016, considered a report (September 1, 2016) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division regarding Alteration to a Designated Heritage Property within the Cabbagetown South Heritage Conservation District- 311 Sumach Street.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act the properties with the confirmed municipal addresses of 78 Ontario Street (Hamilton Brewing Association Building), 90 Ontario Street (Newell Building), 410 Richmond Street East (Newell Building Annex), 384 Richmond Street East (Dominion Envelope Company Building), and 245 Queen Street East (S.

The properties in the city block bounded by Queen Street East, Ontario Street, Richmond Street East and McFarrens Lane (east of Sherbourne Street) contain an important collection of industrial buildings that individually retain their integrity and contribute collectively to the historical character of the neighbourhood southeast of Queen and Sherbourne streets, particularly the section along Richmond Street East as it was transformed into an industrial district in the early 20th century.

Staff has completed its examination of all of the properties within the block and, following research and evaluation, determined that those listed in Recommendations Nos. 1-6 below meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Toronto and East York Community Council referred Recommendation 1 contained in the report (September 23, 2016) from the Acting Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District to Transportation staff for review and for report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council by the end of the first quarter of 2017.

Recommendation referred:

1. City Council prohibit northbound left turns, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, at the intersection of Carlaw Avenue and Eastern Avenue, TTC buses excepted.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Carlaw Avenue and Eastern Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.

Transportation Services is requesting approval to implement northbound and southbound left turn prohibitions at the intersection of Carlaw Avenue and Eastern Avenue, during the morning and afternoon peak periods. The implementation of the turn prohibitions at this intersection will improve the flow of traffic on Carlaw Avenue and eliminate the potential for conflicts between left-turning motorists and opposing traffic. These prohibitions will inconvenience motorists and may result in increased traffic volumes at adjacent intersections.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council authorize the installation of pedestrian traffic control signals across Royal Drive at Danforth Avenue. 

2.  City Council prohibit northbound left-turns from the driveway located on the south side of Danforth Avenue, 132 metres west of Broadview Avenue, between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Additionally, northbound left-turns will be prohibited between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, for motorists exiting the driveway from the City Adult Learning Centre on the south side of Danforth Avenue.  These measures will enhance the pedestrian environment in this section of Danforth Avenue and will have minor impacts on the flow of traffic.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Approved a reduction of the maximum speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on Macpherson Avenue, between Kendal Avenue and Spadina Road.

Transportation Services has been requested to report on the results of our investigation in reducing the maximum speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on Macpherson Avenue, between Kendal Avenue and Spadina Road. Our review shows that the criteria to reduce the speed limit are not satisfied.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1. Approved the implementation of a pilot project to evaluate the impacts of intoducing mini (sub-standard) cul-de-sacs to Foxbar Road, with the following conditions:

a. Implement using the introduction of temporary planters to narrow the driving surface on the roadway to mimic the mini cul-de-sac drive aisle connection. "Entry prohibited" signs could be erected to prohibit though traffic at that point (emergency vehicles and cyclists excepted) to provide an similar deterrence to through traffic.

b. The provision of a turnaround area (similar to the mini cul-de-sac design) would require a portion of the roadway to be reconstructed, and is not feasible for a pilot project installation.

c. For the duration of the pilot project, all portions of the Foxbar Road would be designated for two-way traffic. A "No through traffic" advisory sign would be erected at the intersections of Avenue Road/Foxbar Road and Foxbar Road/St. Clair Avenue West.

d. The pilot project could be installed for a duration of one year. Following one year of installation, the General Manager, Transportation Services would report back to Toronto and East York Community Council with its findings and long term recommendations for Foxbar Road.

e. Notwithstanding, the above, Transportation Services could report earlier, if safety or operational concerns arise, with recommendations such as, but not limited to the removal of on street parking along Foxbar Road, or the removal of the pilot project installation.

f. The driving surface between the planters identified in the report (September 23, 2016) from the Acting Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, be raised to a height that provides vertical deterrence and accommodates vehicles that require through-way access including Emergency Services vehicles, Winter Maintenance operations, and Solid Waste operations.

g. The final design of the pilot project be completed in consultation with the Ward Councillor.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws.

Transportation Services is reporting on the implementation of a pilot project to evaluate the feasibility of introducing two back-to-back mini (sub-standard) cul-de-sacs on Foxbar Road, in order to eliminate transient vehicular traffic from the roadway.  Transportation Services does not recommend the installation of mini cul-de-sacs to Foxbar Road.

Accordingly, continuing the process to install mini cul-de-sacs as a pilot project along Foxbar Road is not recommended.

The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the report (September 23, 2016) from the Acting Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, respecting Toronto East End Streetcar Routes - Extended Peak Period Regulations until its November 15, 2016 meeting.

As part of the City of Toronto's Congestion Management Plan, continuing efforts to reduce traffic congestion, and improve streetcar operations, this report recommends the modification of peak hour restrictions on Toronto and East York District mixed-traffic streetcar route sections east of Parliament Street.

The study area covers Broadview Avenue, Coxwell Avenue, Kingston Road and Queen Street east of Parliament Street (Appendix A). An analysis of TTC GPS-based data further calibrated through manual traffic surveys and field observations supports the recommendations in this study.

The recommended changes, which consist primarily of extensions to many "No Stopping" and some "No Left-Turn" signed restrictions, are intended to improve transit service reliability, to better manage vehicular and cycling flow during the new extended peak period, and to match the City's existing traffic regulations with prevailing traffic conditions on these corridors. The By-law amendments also include the related changes to on-street parking operations to coincide with the new stopping prohibitions.

Conditions will be monitored following implementation to determine whether the changes have the intended effect, and whether any adjustments need to be made. While these changes do not immediately impact streetcar service scheduling or planning, they are intended to improve the consistency of travel times, and allow for subsequent schedule adjustments by the TTC.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council approve the amendment to Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate a revised map of permit parking area "9A", as attached in Appendix A of the report (September 22, 2016) from the Manager, Right of Way Management, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District.

Transportation Services is requesting approval from City Council to amend the boundary of permit parking area 9A.

Transportation Services has assessed the realignment of permit parking area 9A to exclude the property located at 2301 and 2315 Danforth Avenue as requested by Toronto and East York Community Council on September 7, 2016. We are recommending approval of the realignment as it will not impact negatively on the permit parking area.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Amended the existing permit parking regulations on the even side of West Lynn Ave, between the south end of West Lynn Ave and Danforth Avenue to exempt permit holders from the requirement to pay at the parking machines at this location.

Transportation Services is requesting approval from Toronto and East York Community Council to amend the existing permit parking regulation on West Lynn Avenue between the south end of West Lynn Avenue and Danforth Avenue to exempt permit holders from the meters during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

By amending this restriction, permit holders on the street will have the same exemptions as in other permit areas of the city.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Amended Schedule A of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to incorporate north side of Western Battery Road, between Pirandello Street and Lynn Williams Street, on an area basis, within permit parking area 4J, under the operating hours of 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., 7 days a week.  

At its meeting of June 7 2016, City Council approved an exemption for the implementation of permit parking on Western Battery Road, between Pirandello Street and Lynn Williams Street, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Approved in principle the names for laneways in Ward 21, and requested staff to undertake their due diligence review and to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council as soon as possible.

 Ward 21 has about 90 unnamed laneways. As the local councillor, I have been working with a local committee to seek nominations from the community and to vet the names for suitability. I am thankful to the Ward 21 Adjudication Committee for their work in bringing forward the names (my role was to facilitate and I was not involved in the decisions).

The names and locations of the proposed laneways are as follows:

NAME                         LOCATION

Fernandez Lane           Running north-south between Vaughan and Durham Avenue

 
Dov Altman Lane        Running east-west between West Over Hill Road and Menin Road

 
Art Lives Here Lane    Running north-south between Wychwood Avenue and Kenwood Lane

Alan Slobodsky Lane  Running east-west between Eglinton Avenue West and Wembley Road

I understand that the next step in the process is to have City staff review the names and locations of the proposed laneways.  I look forward to the report returning to TEYCC as soon as possible.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

Each year the Board’s Nominations Committee establishes priority recruitment targets as a mechanism to ensure that we comply with the City of Toronto Public Appointments and best equip our Centre to achieve its overall mission. This year recruitment also included:

1.    Diversity priorities to include continuing to advance the representation of individuals from a cross-section of age groups, members of diverse racial and ethno-cultural communities, women and trans people; and

Seeking Endorsement of events for Liquor Licensing Purposes.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Approved, under Section 33 of the Planning Act, the application to demolish the subject residential building at 31 Alhambra Avenue where a replacement building permit is already issued, with the following conditions:

a.  Completion of the new building within 2 years from the start of the demolition of the building;

b.  Failure to complete the new building within the time period, the City is entitled to add to the municipal taxes of the property a maximum amount of $20,000.00 for each dwelling unit in the building subject of the demolition project;

c.  That all debris and rubble be removed immediately after demolition; and

d.  That any holes on the property are backfilled with clean fill.

This application is before you in accordance with city-wide residential demolition control under Article II, Demolition Control, of Municipal Code Ch. 363, as amended by By-law No. 1009-2006, enacted by the City Council on September 27, 2006 under the authority of Section 33 of the Planning Act. The demolition application for 31 Alhambra Avenue is referred to Community Council for consideration (as an objection to this demolition application has been received by Toronto Building). The authority to issue the demolition permit and to impose conditions under the Planning Act with respect to the demolition permit application has been delegated to Community Council by City Council; accordingly, Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.  City Council direct the City Clerk to advise the Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) that the liquor licence application for Curry Bar, 1074 Bloor Street West (“Premises”), is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents, and that the Registrar should issue a Proposal to Review or Refuse the liquor licence.

2.  City Council request the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario or the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT) to provide the City with an opportunity to participate in any proceedings with respect to the Premises.

3.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attend all proceedings before the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario or the Licence Appeal Tribunal in this matter and the City Solicitor be directed to take all necessary actions so as to give effect to this Motion, including adding and deleting conditions to any liquor licence issued for the Premises, in consultation with the Ward Councillor.

1932703 Ontario Inc. has submitted an application for a new liquor licence to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) for a premises at 1074 Bloor Street West operating under the name Curry Bar (the “Premises”). The applicant is seeking a liquor licence for a capacity of 30 patrons indoors. Due to the Premises' close proximity to a residential area, impacts associated with the operation of the Premises may disturb neighbouring residents.  The deadline for filing an objection to the licence was October 9, 2016.

This application for a liquor licence is not in the public interest unless certain conditions, addressing the concerns of the community, are attached to the licence. Under no circumstance should a liquor sales licence be granted at the Premises without appropriate conditions attached.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install four speed humps on Brock Avenue, between Cobourg Avenue and Croatia Street, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. 421G-1719, dated April 2015.

2.  Reduced the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30 km/h on Brock Avenue, between Cobourg Avenue and Croatia Street, coincident with the installation of speed humps as set out in Part 1 above.

On February 18, 2015, Toronto and East York Community Council adopted, as amended, Item TE4.58 entitled "Traffic Calming - Brock Avenue, between Cobourg Avenue and Croatia Street" and, in doing so, authorized the installation of traffic calming on Brock Avenue, between Cobourg Avenue and Croatia Street, subject to a favourable poll of residents. The speed hump poll on the section of Brock Avenue was conducted in May 2015. Based on the poll results, the response rate was insufficient to satisfy the required criteria and therefore the poll was considered to be negative.   

Subsequently residents on Brock Avenue have contacted my office to express concerns about traffic volume and higher speed on their street. I conducted a survey of residents on Brock Avenue, between Cobourg Avenue and Croatia Street and found that more than 60% of residents supported installing traffic calming measures on the subject section of Brock Avenue.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install five speed humps on Shanly Street, between Dufferin Street and Dovercourt Road, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. 421G-1206, dated September 2013.

On October 17, 2013, Toronto and East York Community Council adopted, as amended, Item TE27.58 entitled "Traffic Calming – Shanly Street" and, in doing so, authorized the installation of speed humps on Shanly Street, between Dufferin Street and Dovercourt Road, subject to a favourable poll of residents. The speed hump poll on the section of Shanly Street was conducted in April 2014. Based on the poll results, the response rate was insufficient to satisfy the required criteria and therefore the poll was considered to be negative.   

Subsequently residents on Shanly Street have contacted my office to express concerns about traffic volume and higher speed on their street. I conducted a survey of residents on Shanly Street, between Dufferin Street and Dovercourt Road and found that more than 60% of residents supported installing traffic calming measures on the subject section of Shanly Street.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.      Amended the existing maximum 10 minute parking in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Mon. to Fri., from Sept. 1 of one year to Jun. 30 of the next following year, inclusive, except public holidays on the west side of Ashdale Avenue, between a point 50 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 17 metres further south to operate between a point 44.5 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 26 metres further south

2.      Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect anytime from Sept. 1 of one year to Jun. 30 of the next following year, inclusive, except public holidays west side of Ashdale Avenue, between a point 67 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 15 metres further south to operate between a point 70.5 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 9.5 metres further south.

3.      Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Mon. to Fri., from Sept. 1 of one year to Jun. 30 of the next following year, inclusive, except public holidays on the west side of Ashdale Avenue, between a point 50 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 17 metres further south to operate between a point 44.5 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 26 metres further south.

4.      Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect anytime from Sept. 1 of one year to Jun. 30 of the next following year, inclusive, except public holidays, on the west side of Ashdale Avenue, between a point 35 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 15 metres further south to operate between a point 35 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 9.5 metres further south.

5.      Amended the existing maximum 1 hour parking, during Jul. and Aug. and public holidays, on the west side of Ashdale Avenue, between a point 67 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 5 metres further south to operate between a point 70.5 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 9.5 metres further south.

6.      Amended the existing maximum 1 hour parking, during Jul. and Aug. and public holidays, on the west side of Ashdale Avenue, between a point 35 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 15 metres further south to operate between a point 35 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 9.5 metres further south.

7.     Amended the existing maximum 1 hour parking, during Jul. and Aug. and public holidays, on the west side of Ashdale Avenue, between a point 50 metres south of Fairford Avenue and a point 17 metres further south, to operate between a point 44.5 metres south of Fairford Avenue  and a point 26 metres further south.

The amendment of existing short-term parking along Ashdale Avenue, adjacent to Roden Public School located at 151 Hiawatha Rd, will provide additional parking spaces to parents and guardians dropping off and picking up students.  This change will provide approximately 2 additional parking spaces within the student pick-up/drop-off zone and result in the loss of approximately 2 on-street parking spaces during non-prohibited times.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Requested the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services to research and evaluate the properties at 160 and 170 Memorial Park Avenue for potential inclusion on the City's Heritage Register and to report to the Toronto Preservation Board and the Toronto and East York Community Council.

The property at 170 Memorial Park Avenue, the "S. Walter Stewart Building" was designed by Parrot, Tambling and Witmer, Architects for the East York Library Board in 1960.  The library was constructed to an unusual circular design and was named for S. Walter Stewart, a pioneer of library service in East York.  Immediately adjacent to the library on the property at 160 Memorial Park Avenue, True Davidson Park, is a sculpture by Canadian artist Gerald Gladstone.  This sculpture was also commissioned by the East York Library Board in 1960 and compliments the library's space age theme.  Given the significance of this building and sculpture to the community I am requesting that these properties be researched and evaluated by Heritage Preservation Services staff in order to determine whether or not they hold cultural heritage value.

The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:

1.  Staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 102-118 Peter Street and 350-354 Adelaide Street West, together with the Ward Councillor.

2.  Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site, and to additional residents, institutions and owners to be determined in consultation with the Ward Councillor, with any additional mailing costs to be borne by the applicant.

A re-zoning application has been submitted for 102 Peter Street and a separate application has been submitted for its neighbouring property 122 Peter Street. It is desirable to hold the community consultation meetings for these applications in sequence, at the same venue on the same evening, so that they may be considered together and in respect of community members’ time.

Community Council has already directed that a community consultation meeting be scheduled for 122 Peter Street but direction is still needed for 102 Peter Street.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Received the Bloor -Yorkville/ North Midtown Planning Framework Study prepared through the collaboration of the Bloor-Yorkville BIA, ABC Residents Association, Greater Yorkville Residents Association (GYRA) and Yonge Bay Bloor Business Association (YBB).

2.  Requested the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District to consider the Bloor- Yorkville/North Midtown Planning Framework during the preparation of the Secondary Plan for Bloor-Yorkville / North Midtown.

3.  Requested the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District to report to Toronto and East York Community Council in the first quarter of 2017 on the work plan and schedule for the preparation of the Secondary Plan for Bloor-Yorkville /North Midtown.

4.  Requested the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District to consult with the Director, Infrastructure Management and the Manager, Beautiful Streets, Transportation Services in preparing the report referred to in Part 3 above.

5.  Requested Planning staff to consider the Bloor-Yorkville/ North Midtown Framework’s strategies during the evaluation of current and future development applications and City projects in the Bloor Yorkville/North Midtown planning area prior to completion of the Secondary Plan.

The Bloor-Yorkville / North Midtown area is home to a dynamic residential and business community.  The storied history and heritage buildings form a vital part of the fabric of Toronto, providing an important destination point for locals and tourists alike.

Development applications in Bloor-Yorkville / North Midtown are currently at an all-time high.  The increasing density makes necessary a comprehensive approach to planning and transportation that will serve to manage growth and development into the future.  Such a strategy must factor in access to green space and sunlight, public and private streetscape improvements, pedestrian initiatives, and density management. Cognizant of the pressures on the Planning department to respond to the complex needs of the area, the residents and BIA of Yorkville have stepped forward in an effort to provide the tools and information necessary to move forward. 

The Bloor-Yorkville / North Midtown Planning Framework and Implementation Strategy is a project funded and produced entirely through community initiative.  This planning study examines the current neighbourhood makeup, and puts forward a framework and implementation strategy to manage growth and development as this dynamic area continues to mature.  The document represents a tremendous amount of work on the part of the local community and demonstrates an admirable commitment to neighbourhood engagement.  Such an effort is deserving of public acknowledgement and I, as a local Councillor, am offering my support for this work by bringing this motion here before you today.

The Bloor-Yorkville / North Midtown Planning Framework represents the hopes and desires of the local community for their neighbourhood going forward.  Now that the Framework has been produced, it is time for City Planning, Transportation Services and other appropriate City divisions to engage with strategies for its implementation.  An opportunity exists to introduce guidelines consistent with this document and, eventually to move forward to a formal Secondary Plan.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Re-opened Item TE18.97, headed "Metrolinx - Dufferin Street Long-Term Closure", with respect to Parts 1 and 2 of the Toronto and East York Community Council's decision.

2.  Replaced Parts 1 and 2 in Item TE18.97 with the following new Parts 1 and 2:

"1. Enact a "No Stopping, 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday" restriction on both sides of Peel Avenue, between Dufferin Street and Gladstone Avenue. 

2.  Enact a "No Stopping, 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday" restriction on both sides of Gladstone Avenue, between Queen Street West and Peel Avenue."

The Toronto and East York Community Council, at its meeting on September 27, 2016 adopted the report from Item TE 18.97 titled " Metrolinx - Dufferin Street Long-Term Closure", and in so doing approved amendments to traffic and parking regulations on Peel Avenue and on Gladstone Avenue, between Queen Street West and Peel Avenue, in order to facilitate traffic flow along the proposed detour route during construction. Due to the congestion from the closure of Dufferin Street, it is necessary to extend the time limits of the stopping prohibition on Peel Avenue and Gladstone Avenue. This revision will address concerns regarding the traffic congestion on the aforementioned streets.

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Re-opened Item TE12.107, headed "Nomination of Beaconsfield Avenue for Heritage Conservation District", with respect to Part 1 of the Toronto and East York Community Council decision.

2.  Replaced Part 1 in Item TE12.107 with the following new Part 1:

"1. Nominated Beaconsfield Avenue, between Queen Street West and Dundas Street West, for consideration as a Heritage Conservation District."

Beaconsfield Avenue and surrounding streets were built circa the 1880s and 1890s.  Many of the houses on Beaconsfield Avenue, have been designated 'Heritage Buildings' by City Council, as they are well crafted examples of late 19th century house for buildings that define, maintain and support the historical character of the street.  

Since the adoption of item TE12.107 on November 10, 2015, which directed Heritage Preservation Services staff to nominate Beaconsfield Avenue, between Queen Street West and Argyle Street, for consideration as a Heritage Conservation District (HCD), I have received feedback from community members asking that that the HCD study area boundaries be expanded.  Community members agree that the area of Beaconsfield Avenue, between Argyle Street and Dundas Street West, also contains an abundance of historic buildings that should be studied, hence their request.  Given this request, it would be necessary to extend the HCD study area.  This revision will address the concerns of community members.    

I have discussed this matter with staff from Heritage Preservation Services, who concur with this approach.   

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.  Requested the Acting Director, Transportation Services, to review and report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council on November 15, 2016, on the realignment of Permit Parking area 1A and the exclusion of the property located at 299 Campbell Avenue.

The development application for 299 Campbell Avenue was approved with a low parking ratio per unit. This action is being taken in order to mitigate the future impact of this development on the current on-street parking supply for residents within the "1A" permit parking area.
