206 Russell Hill Road - Repeal of Heritage Designation By-law
The property at 206 Russell Hill Road contains a 2½-storey house form building dating to 1910 that is known historically as the William S. Hodgens House. On May 18, 2018, the property owner's applications for a zoning by-law amendment and site plan approval were deemed complete. The applications are to replace the existing house with a low-rise four-unit townhouse development. An application to demolish the existing house in order to facilitate the development of this property was submitted in April 2019 (2019 141774 DEM 00 DM). The demolition permit was not issued due to the absence of a permit for a replacement building as per the City's Residential Demolition Control By-law. On June 18, 2019, City Council adopted recommendations and provided directions to state its intention to designate the property municipally known as 206 Russell Hill Road under section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act (the "Act"). The owner of the property filed a formal objection to the City's Notice of Intention to Designate and applied to demolish the existing house and detached garage at the property pursuant to s. 34(1) of the Act. The notice of objection was subsequently withdrawn at the Conservation Review Board. On April 30, 2020, the City enacted and passed By-Law 335-2020, being a by-law to designate the property at 206 Russell Hill Road as being of cultural heritage or value pursuant to section 29 of Part IV of the Act. On October 30, 2020, the City enacted and passed By-Law 930-2020, being a by-law to amend By-Law 335-2020 to correct the legal description. This Report for Information relates to the repeal of By-Law No. 335-2020, being a by-law designating the property municipally known as 206 Russell Hill Road as being of cultural value or interest pursuant to the Ontario Heritage Act.

The proposal before Council today seeks to paint murals on 13 Bell Canada outdoor junction cabinets in neighbourhoods throughout York Centre, Ward 6, in Toronto. The murals will be painted July 12 to 26, 2021.

New Funding from Health Canada Substance Use and Addictions Program
The COVID-19 pandemic is worsening the opioid poisoning crisis in Toronto and across Canada. Multiple jurisdictions, including Toronto, have reported spikes in fatal and non-fatal overdoses during the pandemic, which may reflect changes in the unregulated drug supply, as well as service reductions and physical distancing requirements. On March 8, 2021, the Government of Canada notified Toronto Public Health of available funding from the Health Canada Substance Use and Addictions Program for expanded harm reduction services provided through The Works. This report seeks approval for the Medical Officer of Health to enter into a Contribution Agreement with Health Canada for the expanded harm reduction services. This report also recommends increasing Toronto Public Health's 2021 Operating Budget to accept the new federal funding that will cover 100 percent of the cost of the program.
City Council on April 7 and 8, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council increase the Approved 2021 Operating Budget for Toronto Public Health by the amount identified in Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (March 29, 2021) from the City Manager and the Medical Officer of Health and four temporary positions to fund expanded harm reduction services. 2. City Council authorize the Medical Officer of Health to enter into the Contribution Agreement with Health Canada for expanded harm reduction service on such terms and conditions that are satisfactory to the Medical Officer of Health and in a form approved by the City Solicitor. 3.

There have been recent observations made by residents in my Ward who are part of the sidewalk snow clearing pilot about the volume of salt being used on our sidewalks after winter weather events and snowfalls. I have heard from many residents that winter maintenance vehicles are using excessive amounts of salt, beyond what is necessary to ensure safe and clear sidewalks. While they love the sidewalk clearing, they are extremely concerned with the amount of salt being spread. They have told me that the over use of salt is not only wasteful, it is also harmful to the environment and animals that walk on it. The City of Toronto's Website states: Salt is damaging to shoes, infrastructure, and the paws of our pets. Salt doesn't disappear with the snow; it washes into Ontario's creeks, lakes and rivers and stays there. This is bad for the environment and can harm wildlife, or even contaminate drinking water. However, the City of Toronto's salt use in practice does not reflect our very own understanding of the detrimental impacts of its use. It is imperative that the City of Toronto review its salt usage guidelines to better reflect the damaging effects of salt overuse.
City Council on April 7 and 8, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to review and update the Salt Management Plan in regards to salt usage on sidewalks, such review to include maximum salt application rates, vehicle calibration, operator training, accidental spills and to report back to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee about updates to the Salt Management Plan prior to the fourth quarter of 2021. 2. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Director, 311 Toronto to provide a better mechanism on 311 to record and track residents' calls about excessive salt use and include dedicated service requests for calls on this issue, and to report to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee by the third quarter of 2021 on the matter.

On January 27, 2021, the Committee of Adjustment refused a Consent and Minor Variance application brought by the owners of 14 Penaire Street (the "Applications"). A copy of the Committee's decisions are attached. The Applications propose to sever the property into two undersized residential lots and to construct a detached dwelling on each lot. In a report from the Director of Community Planning, dated January 18, 2021, Planning Staff opposed the Application. A copy of the Planning staff report is attached. Planning staff opined that the Applications do not maintain the intent and purpose of the Official Plan, do not maintain the intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law, are not minor and are not desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land. On February 2, 2021, the owner appealed the Committee's decision to refuse the Applications to the Toronto Local Appeal Body.
City Council on April 7 and 8, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff to attend at the Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing to support the Committee of Adjustment's decision to refuse the Consent and Minor Variance application requested in Applications B0031/20SC, A0197/20SC, and A0198/20SC, respecting 14 Penaire Street. 2.

Development Charges Deferral for Anishnawbe Health Toronto at 425 Cherry Street East
In response to the March 10, 2021 Council request, this report comments on the feasibility of deferring the payment of development charges as long as the proposed development at 425 Cherry is maintained and operated as a non-profit Indigenous health care centre. The City currently imposes development charges based upon a bylaw that was approved by Council on April 18, 2018. In the case of Anishnawbe Health Toronto, there is a proposal to construct a new four storey medical office building at 425 Cherry Street. Development charges are anticipated to total $624,243.36 and are being requested to be deferred. Development charges for this project are normally due and payable at the issuance of a building permit. While it is feasible to provide a deferral through a section 27 agreement, staff recommend that Council refer this request to the comprehensive bylaw review currently underway. This report seeks authority to enter into an agreement to defer payment until that review has been completed and where Council may see it fit to provide an exemption of the charges. This report has been prepared in consultation with the City Planning, Legal Services, and Toronto Building.
City Council on April 7 and 8, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, in consultation with the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, to enter into an agreement in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor to defer the payment of development charges for 425 Cherry Street based on the general terms and conditions in Attachment 1 to the report (March 29, 2021) from the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, including any amendments to previously executed agreements, as necessary, relating to the payment of development charges. 2. City Council direct the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to review this matter as part of the Development Charges By-law review process currently underway.

The CafeTO program has provided a lifeline for many local cafes, restaurants and bars through the pandemic. For 2021, the CafeTO program required applications to be submitted in full by March 26 to be processed for the first round of installations later in the spring. This included the requirement to demonstrate full operating liability insurance coverage. I have been contacted by multiple stakeholders in our Business Improvement Areas who had downgraded their insurance package in recent months to "contents only" insurance, rather than full operating liability, as they had been unable to provide indoor or outdoor dining during the Provincial stay-at-home order or, until very recently, the lockdown. Many businesses have discovered that due to delays in the private insurance market, they could not receive quotes for reinstating full liability coverage before the end of March. For these establishments, their applications were incomplete as a result of this challenge outside of their control, and they will miss the earliest possible installation dates. While I recognize that the firm cut-off date to qualify for early installation was intended to ensure that City staff can focus on the applications of businesses most prepared to set up their CafeTO spaces on an accelerated timeline, I believe this unforeseen challenge with insurance providers requires a more flexible and fair response. I am requesting that City staff work with CafeTO applicants and offer a grace period for those who would have complete applications if not for the delay reinstating insurance for full operating liability, with the goal of achieving early installation for these applicants to the greatest extent possible. The CafeTO program is vital for our local businesses and main streets after a very difficult winter, and although vaccines give us hope, there will be more challenging months ahead. Working with these operators to allow an extra month or more of outdoor dining is essential.
City Council on April 7 and 8 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to offer a reasonable grace period for CafeTO applications where the only outstanding documentation pertains to insurance, in order for as many businesses as possible to achieve the earlier planned installation date.

Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Mayor John Tory, recommends that: 1.

The purpose of this report is to seek authority for the City to enter into an agreement with the heirs, executors and trustees of the estate of Alice Kilgour, the Government of Canada and the University of Toronto, to confirm that the conveyance by the University of Toronto to the City, for road widening purposes, of a portion of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre site will not trigger the reversion of the remainder of the site to the City for public park purposes or to the heirs of Alice Kilgour pursuant to the terms of the original 1928 conveyance of these lands to the City by Alice Kilgour. This matter is time sensitive because the conveyance and dedication of the road widening lands adjacent to Bayview Avenue cannot be completed until this agreement is executed. Consequently, this report is being sent directly to City Council.
City Council on April 7 and 8, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the City to enter into an agreement with the heirs, executors and trustees of the estate of Alice Kilgour, Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada as represented by the Minister of Veterans Affairs and The Governing Council of the University of Toronto, to confirm that the conveyance by The Governing Council of the University of Toronto to the City of Toronto, for road widening purposes, of a portion of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre site will not trigger the reversion of the remainder of the site to the City of Toronto for public park purposes or to the heirs of Alice Kilgour pursuant to the terms of the original 1928 conveyance of these lands to the City of Toronto by Alice Kilgour, on such terms and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

The King-Liberty Pedestrian/Cycle Bridge is in the final stages of construction, and will be an important new link between Liberty Village and areas to the north of the Metrolinx rail corridor. Travel distances will be much shorter for pedestrians and cyclists between destinations such as the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Queen Street West, and Trinity Bellwoods Park to the north, and Liberty Village and Exhibition Place to the south. Regrettably, the project has been affected by multiple delays that continue to postpone the expected opening of the bridge. Hoisting the bridge span into place needed to be coordinated with Metrolinx work, which took place in Fall 2019. It was hoped then that the bridge would open to the public in Spring 2020. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening date has been revised later on multiple occasions. Stringent COVID-19 safety protocols, disrupted international supply chains, and labour shortages have played a part in slowing the work. At this time, City staff have advised the public that the contractor is unable to provide any firm date for completion until these issues improve. As we return to warmer weather, it is becoming even more important to open the new bridge without further delay. It is a much more direct connection for essential workers to reach the King streetcar and Exhibition GO station, and improves access for thousands of residents to businesses offering takeout and groceries, and green spaces including Trinity Bellwoods Park. We need to take the necessary steps to expedite safe public access across the new bridge, and any non-critical work should be completed at a later time if this allows for an earlier opening date.
City Council on April 7 and 8, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, in consultation with the General Manager, Transportation Services, to expedite allowing public access across the King-Liberty Pedestrian/Cycle Bridge, including considering phased opening options.

On January 9, 2015, the applicant (Duration Investments Limited) appealed its Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") due to a lack of decision by the City within the statutory timeframe. On November 28 and 29, 2017, the City Solicitor received a confidential and without prejudice settlement offer from the applicant (the "Original Settlement Offer"), accompanied by architectural plans, prepared by Quadrangle Architects dated November 24, 2017, all of which have since been made public (the "Original Settlement Plans"). During its meeting of December 5, 6, 7 and 8, 2017, City Council adopted, with amendments, the recommendation of the Request for Directions Report (November 29, 2017) from the City Solicitor to accept the Original Settlement Offer. On February 7, 2018, the LPAT rendered an oral decision allowing the applicant's appeal in part and withholding the final order pending satisfaction of a number of conditions. Subsequent to the LPAT decision, the site was transferred to a new owner. On September 6, 2019 the new owner submitted a Site Plan application accompanied by a new set of architectural plans, prepared by Turner Fleischer Architects Inc. These plans were not part of the Original Settlement Offer accepted by City Council. Since then the new plans have undergone a number of revisions resulting in the most recent versions, dated August 21, 2020 and February 9, 2021. The new architectural plans are attached hereto as Public Attachments 1 and 2. The new architectural plans are different from the Original Settlement Plans approved by Council in a number of material respects. As such they represent new proposed settlement plans (the "New Settlement Plans") and form part of a revised settlement offer with respect to the Zoning By-law Amendment appeal at the LPAT (the "Revised Settlement Offer"). The purpose of this report is to request instructions with respect to the Revised Settlement Offer.

The Anduhyaun Shelter is a family support shelter that is substance free. It provides culturally sensitive counselling and referrals for women and their children. Using a client focused and strength based approach, the Anduhyaun Shelter also promotes advocacy and empowerment for woman in the context of supporting their cultural identity in addition to respecting diversity of race, religion and sexuality. As women move along a healing path, the Anduhyaun Shelter looks to ensure that clients are able to protect and maintain their unique identity. The Anduhyaun Shelter has been required to pay $153,101.33 in development charges. Given their financing, it would not be feasible or possible for the Anduhyaun Shelter to meet this unexpected cost without significantly impacting the ability of the shelter to realize the creation of this important support for women and children. The services to be provided at this shelter are very much needed in this community and for clients from across the City.
City Council on April 7 and 8, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, in consultation with the City Solicitor and the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, to report to the May 5, 2021 meeting of City Council on the feasibility of deferring the payment of development charges in the amount of $153,101.33 for the Anduhyaun Shelter, a violence against women emergency shelter servicing Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women with or without children who are fleeing violence.
