Final Report - 523 Rogers Road - Rental Housing Demolition Application
This Rental Housing Demolition application proposes to reconfigure five rental dwelling units located within a residential rental building at 523 Rogers Road, which currently has a total of six rental dwelling units. The condition of the existing building on the subject property does not meet applicable Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire Code requirements, and was not in compliance with the Zoning By-law. Interior alterations were previously made to the building without building permits and without zoning approvals, converting one commercial space and one residential unit in the building into six rental dwelling units. In order to bring the building on the subject property into compliance with applicable Ontario Building Code and Ontario Fire Code requirements, the six-unit residential rental building is proposed to be reconfigured into a five-unit residential rental building. The five rental dwelling units would include one new rental dwelling unit, one existing rental dwelling unit to be retained in its current form and three rental dwelling units to be created as a result of the required internal reconfiguration. A Minor Variance application (File No. A0561/19EYK) was approved by the Etobicoke York panel of the Committee of Adjustment on December 5, 2019, approving the variances required to permit the proposed five-unit residential rental building. The Committee of Adjustment approval is subject to a condition that the owner obtain a Rental Housing Demolition Permit from the City pursuant to Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code. This report reviews and recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council approve Rental Housing Demolition application No. 19 244273 WET 05 RH in accordance with Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code and pursuant to Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 to allow for the reconfiguration of five (5) rental dwelling units located at 523 Rogers Road into three (3) rental dwelling units, and to create one (1) new rental dwelling unit and retain one (1) existing rental dwelling unit, subject to the following conditions: a.

Final Report - 10 Eva Road - Application to Lift Holding Provisions (H)
This application proposes to lift the Holding (H) symbol for the northeastern portion of the lands identified in site-specific Zoning By-law No. 600-2009. This amendment would allow for the development of a 28-storey residential tower and its associated podium on the lands municipally known as 10 Eva Road, described as Tower Element C in the Phase 2 lands on Schedule 'B' of Zoning By-law No. 600-2009. The Holding (H) symbol would be partially lifted as the Holding (H) symbol would continue to remain on the northwestern portion of the lands, which relate to Tower Element D of this By-law. The Holding Provisions of Zoning By-law No. 600-2009 require that prior to lifting the Holding (H) symbol, the owner must satisfy the following four conditions: (i) dedication of the land shown on Schedule 'A' of the By-law for a future public road; (ii) provision of detailed cost estimates and adequate financing for 50% of the cost of constructing the future public road from Eva Road to the extension of the northern boundary of the Lands; (iii) entering into an agreement between the owner of the Lands, or any portion of the Lands, and the City, that will provide for the landscaping and maintenance, at no cost to the City, of the land to be dedicated as shown on Schedule 'A' of the By-law for a future public road until such time as the public road is constructed; and (iv) one or more of the following conditions being fulfilled: (a) permanent closure by the Ministry of Transportation of the ramps connecting Eva Road and Highway 427; or (b) provision of direct access to either Civic Centre Court or The West Mall for vehicular traffic generated by the lands shown on Schedule 'A' to the By-law with a zone symbol that possesses an "H" Holding Symbol prefix; or (c) other road alterations, traffic improvements and/or Transportation Demand Management measures satisfactory to the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services. All four of these conditions, specifically (iv)(c), have been satisfied. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend site-specific Zoning By-law No. 600-2009 to partially lift the Holding (H) symbol.
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend Zoning By-law No. 600-2009 to remove the Holding provision (H) from the northeast portion of the lands, substantially in accordance with the Draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 6 to the report (June 23, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the Draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

The owner of 2650-2672 St. Clair Avenue West has appealed its Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications for the site to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the applications within the time prescribed by the Planning Act. A Pre-Hearing Conference of the LPAT has not been scheduled. These applications propose to amend the former City of York Zoning By-law No. 1-83 and City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 and seek Draft Plan of Subdivision approval to redevelop the site of the former Danier Leather factory, municipally known as 2650-2672 St. Clair Avenue West. The proposed development is for a new residential neighbourhood at the rear of the site, while renovating the existing building at the front of the site for employment uses. The proposed residential neighbourhood would be comprised of townhouses, below grade parking, public and private roads and publicly accessible open spaces (see Attachment 6: Site Plan and Attachment 7: Draft Plan of Subdivision). The townhouses would be in five blocks (Blocks A to E), having a total of 98 three-bedroom units. Each block is proposed to be 4-storeys (12.75 metres in height) with an additional pop-up access to rooftop private amenity space (14.71 metres in height). The total residential floor area of the proposal would be 14,334 m2 . The existing 2-storey building that fronts St. Clair Avenue West is currently under renovation and would be used for commercial and office uses. This building has a gross floor area of 6,500 m2. A total of 388 parking spaces are proposed to serve the development, with 225 parking spaces for the residential component and 163 parking spaces for the non-residential component. Each of the townhouses would have two parking spaces (a total of 196 spaces) and 29 residential visitor parking spaces are proposed. The Draft Plan of Subdivision application proposes to establish a new public road to the west of the existing commercial building extending from St. Clair Avenue West to the existing public lane to the north and creating two development blocks. Block 1 would be located to the east of the proposed public road and would contain both the residential and commercial developments. Block 2 would be located to the west of the public road and would contain a surface parking lot. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS 2020) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Key objectives include: building strong communities; wise use and management of resources; and protecting public health and safety. The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe provides a framework for managing growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe including: directions for where and how to grow; the provision of infrastructure to support growth; and protecting natural systems and cultivating a culture of conservation. City Council's planning decisions are required to conform, or not conflict, with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The policies contained in the Growth Plan are to be read in conjunction with all applicable provisions of the PPS. Both these documents are high-level and broad reaching. The City is a development area and infill is encouraged under these policies. Policy 4.6 of the PPS states that the most important method of implementing the policies is a municipality's Official Plan which guides the method of intensification and where it should be focused. While the proposed development would achieve the goals of residential intensification and the provision of employment uses, the development in its current form fails to conform to the Built Form policies of the City of Toronto Official Plan and therefore is not consistent with the PPS. Planning staff do not support the proposal in its current form, as it does not conform to the policies of the Official Plan and does not satisfactorily respond to applicable design guidelines. The proposed development does not fit within its existing and planned context and fails to respect and reinforce the existing physical character of the area, in particular its building heights, scale and site layout. The proposed public and private road network does not meet City design objectives (width of sidewalks, amount of streetscaping and tree planting) nor does it adequately provide appropriate frontage for the proposed building entrances or permeability of and mobility throughout the site. The development, as proposed, does not satisfy all fire protection requirements and therefore, from a health and safety perspective is not acceptable. Lastly, the proposal fails to conform to the recently approved Site and Area Specific Policy No. 540 in terms of building heights, building separation and the provision of a centrally located green space. Staff are of the opinion the current proposal constitutes an over-development of the site. However, a development which provides an appropriate road network and open spaces (private and public) and has building heights and setbacks respecting the context of the block and surrounding neighbourhood could be considered for this site. This report recommends that the City Solicitor, together with appropriate staff, be directed to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing to oppose the appeal respecting the Zoning By-law Amendment application (File No. 18 208427 WET 11 OZ) and to co-ordinate with the Chief Planner in connection with the associated appeal of the Draft Plan of Subdivision application (File No.18 208431 WET 11 SB), as proposed at 2650-2672 St. Clair Avenue West. Planning staff have undertaken discussions with the applicant regarding revising the proposal to develop a proposal that is more appropriate to its context. While unsuccessful to date, staff are recommending that discussions continue with the applicant on resolving the matters identified in this report.
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate staff, to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing to oppose the appeal respecting the Zoning By-law Amendment application (File No. 18 208427 WET 11 OZ), as proposed at 2650-2672 St. Clair Avenue West. 2.

City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with appropriate staff, to continue discussions with the applicant, including engaging in formal mediation, in an effort to resolve the outstanding matters identified in the report (June 24, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, and the applicant's appeal, to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Ward Councillor. City Council further authorizes the City Solicitor to report back to City Council for direction regarding the outcome of such discussions as appropriate. 4. In the event that the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request the LPAT to withhold the issuance of any Order(s) until such time as the LPAT has been advised by the City Solicitor that: a. The final form and content of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor; b. The owner has entered into an Agreement under Section 37 of the Planning Act with the City for the purpose of securing community benefits to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor in consultation with the Chief Planner and executive Director, City Planning and the Ward Councillor; c.
