The application for common elements condominium proposes a private common element driveway on the lands municipally known as 1359 Dupont Street.  The application is required to provide legal access to the individual townhouse units and to ensure ongoing shared ownership and maintenance of all the common elements.

The requested exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act is required in order to permit the creation of seven separate conveyable townhouse lots.  In addition, this report recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act agreeing not to convey or mortgage any part of the lands without the prior consent of the Chief Planner or his designate.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the Draft Plan of Common Elements Condominium and Part Lot Control Exemption.

This application was made after January 1, 2007, and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

This application proposes to create a common elements driveway to provide access to 10 units at 229 Wallace Avenue.

This report responds to the request of Toronto and East York Community Council that a Final Report be brought forward with an implementing Zoning-By-law and Section 37 Agreement for the proposed 37-storey mixed use building at 288A, 290 and 294 Adelaide Street West.

This application was made on or after January 1, 2007, and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006. It proposes a 37-storey mixed use building, 122.4 metres high, including mechanicals, at 288A, 290 and 294 Adelaide Street West.  The proposed development includes 281 apartments, approximately 276 square metres of retail space, 1562 square metres of office space, an at grade loading space, an 86 space, 5 level commercial parking garage above grade, and 4 levels of residential parking underground with 160 parking spaces.

The proposal represents over-development of the property contrary to the planning framework for King-Spadina. The building height that exceeds the zoning by-law permissions by 87.4 metres is significantly out of scale with the existing and planned built form context and creates negative impacts on the public realm and abutting and nearby properties that affects their use and enjoyment. Its approval would set a negative precedent for future development that undermines the vision for this area of the City. It also includes a 5-level above-grade commercial parking garage that promotes the use of private automobiles over transit and gives priority to commuter and all-day parking in the downtown contrary to the objectives of the Official Plan. City Planning recommends that Council refuse the zoning by-law amendment application.

This application was made before March 1, 2005, and is therefore not subject to the Provincial Policy Statement that came into force in 2006.

These lands are located adjacent to Grange Park. Both Grange Park and these lands are owned by the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). Grange Park is leased to the City of Toronto in perpetuity under the terms of a 1911 will. This application proposes that 20 Grange Road be re-designated Parks under the Official Plan and rezoned OR (x70) under the new Zoning By-law 1156-2010 to fully integrate the site into Grange Park. It will also be rezoned G under By-law 438-86.

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

The applicant has worked with staff since 2007 to modify the proposed above-ground structure in order to minimize potential impacts to the trees, and has provided a satisfactory arborist report and tree preservation plan outlining protection measures that will be implemented to protect the trees during construction. Urban Forestry is satisfied that if the tree protection measures are implemented as proposed construction of the new dwelling will have minimal impact on the health of the subject trees.

At the request of the Principal of St. Denis Catholic School, Transportation Services is seeking authority to change the 10-minute maximum parking regulation associated with the student pick-up/drop-off area on Spruce Hill Road to a parking prohibition.  This is intended to increase the capacity of the pick-up/drop-off area and mitigate complete blockages of the street.

Seeking endorsement of events of municipal significance for liquor licensing purposes.

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 (the “AGCO”) that the issuance of a liquor licence for the Pizza Delfina at 321 Roncesvalles Avenue (the “Premises”) is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents unless conditions are placed on the licence, and that the Registrar should issue a Proposal to Review the liquor licence application.

2.         City Council request the AGCO to provide the City of Toronto 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 AGCO in this matter and be directed to take all necessary actions so as to give effect to this motion, including adding conditions to any liquor licence issued for the Premises.

Pizzeria Delfina has submitted an application for a liquor licence to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) for the premises at 321 Roncesvalles Avenue to operate under the name of Pizzeria Delfina (“Premises”). This motion requests that Toronto and East York Community Council recommend that City Council advise the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (the “AGCO”) that 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.

This establishment is located in close proximity to residential units. There are concerns in the community that an establishment with a liquor licence can cause noise and disturbance to residents in the area. If conditions are put in place, these concerns may be mitigated. Under no circumstance should the establishment be granted a liquor sales licence without conditions attached.
