Toronto Builds - 1631 and 1641 Queen Street East, and 1080 (Portion) and 1090 Eastern Avenue - Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment - Decision Report - Approval

The existing Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) building on 1080 Eastern Avenue will remain. Staff recommend approval of amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law 569-2013. The proposed amendments would permit the development of a mixed-use mid-rise building on Queen Street East of up to 6 storeys (with a partial 7th storey containing only indoor amenity space), and a residential building along Eastern Avenue of up to 18 storeys. A development concept, as outlined in this report and which guides the amendments, demonstrates the opportunity to accommodate approximately 328 dwelling units, of which 20-30% will be affordable. Investment in this site also provides the opportunity to expand the City-owned Coxwell Early Learning and Child Care Centre, and for Indigenous Placekeeping along the abutting Kishigo Lane. The site will remain in City ownership and will be leased to a development partner for a term of 40-99 years. At a future date, a development partner will be responsible for detailed design and submission of a Site Plan Control application based on technical work by CreateTO, their consultants, and City divisions. The recommended amendments are consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conform with the Official Plan.

3. City Council authorizes the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the recommended Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required. 4. City Council direct the Executive Director, Housing Development Office, in consultation with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the Executive Director, Development Review, to engage City partners and any future development partners to advance the detailed design of the development requirements identified in Attachment 11 to this report to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the Executive Director, Development Review, and to secure the delivery of the development requirements on terms, including details and timing, in a Lease Agreement with the development partner. 5. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review and report back on the feasibility of amending Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to exclude the development located at 1631 and 1641 Queen Street East, and 1080 (portion) and 1090 Eastern Avenue from Permit Parking.
