Final Report - 15 Martha Eaton Way - Zoning By-law Amendment Application
This application proposes to amend the relevant Zoning By-laws (former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625, as amended by Zoning By-law No. 30883, as well as City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013), to permit an 11-storey (38.4 m in height, including mechanical penthouse) residential infill building containing 155 rental dwelling units while retaining the existing 23-storey apartment building containing 364 rental dwelling units. The proposed building would have a total gross floor area of 13,385 m2, and when combined with the existing building's total gross floor area of 39,284 m2, would result in an overall density of 3.46 times the area of the combined lots (52,669 m2). The proposed building would be located adjacent to Trethewey Drive, in an area that currently contains passive outdoor space, an outdoor pool and a small playground. The proposal seeks to utilize the existing three-level underground parking garage, with 14 existing spaces being removed to facilitate the development. A resulting total of 416 below grade resident parking spaces are proposed for the site. An additional 8 surface visitor parking spaces would be added to the existing roadway loop, resulting in a total of 51 surface visitor parking spaces. In addition, 264 bicycle parking spaces would be located within the existing and proposed buildings. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposed development represents appropriate intensification that is massed to be compatible with the existing Apartment Neighbourhoods properties in the area. The proposal addresses the Official Plan Healthy Neighbourhoods, Built Form, Public Realm and Mixed-Use policies and the City's Avenues and Mid-Rise Buildings Study and Performance Standards. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-laws subject to conditions before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment. Provided the conditions are fulfilled, staff are of the opinion the proposed development is appropriate in this location.

Final Report - 2996 Weston Road - Zoning By-law Amendment Application
This application proposes to amend the former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 and City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to permit five 3-storey detached dwellings on lands municipally known as 2996 Weston Road. Three of the dwellings are proposed to have frontage on George McKenzie Court, while the remaining dwellings would front on Weston Road. The subject property is partially located on lands that are regulated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the Ravine and Natural Features Protection By-law. The existing dwelling would be demolished and a future Committee of Adjustment Consent application would be required to sever the property into five lots to facilitate the proposal. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) and complies with the City's Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-laws.
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 for the lands at 2996 Weston Road substantially in accordance with the Draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 5 to the report (August 18, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District. 2. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 for the lands at 2996 Weston Road substantially in accordance with the Draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 6 to the report (August 18, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District. 3.

The owner of the site at 26 - 38 Burnhamthorpe Road and 45 - 49 Burnhamthorpe Crescent has appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application for these lands to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time period prescribed under the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference is scheduled for September 1, 2020. This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-laws to permit a five block townhouse development consisting of 123 stacked back-to-back, 3½ storey townhouses (ranging from 12.9 - 13.5 m in height to the top of the mechanical penthouse/rooftop stair enclosure) at 26 - 38 Burnhamthorpe Road and 45 - 49 Burnhamthorpe Crescent (a site comprised of a land assembly of nine separate lots with existing detached dwellings). The proposal would have a gross floor area of 10,184 m², representing an overall density of 1.6 times the area of the lot. The development would have an underground parking garage containing 161 automobile parking spaces and two surface level automobile parking spaces. The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction for the City Solicitor and other appropriate City staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing to oppose the applications, as currently proposed. The proposed development is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and does not conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019), the Official Plan, the Zoning By-laws nor the City's Townhouse and Low-Rise Apartment Guidelines. The proposed assembly of nine separate lots and demolition of existing detached dwellings to accommodate the proposal is inappropriate on lands designated Neighbourhoods, particularly in the interior of the neighbourhood on Burnhamthorpe Crescent. The proposed residential built form of stacked back-to-back townhouses and the level of intensification proposed represents overdevelopment of the site. The proposal in its current form does not conform with the Official Plan policies (particularly the Neighbourhoods development criteria Policies and Built Form Policies) and does not respect or reinforce the existing physical character of the established neighbourhood. The proposed pattern of driveways and blocks; size and configuration of lots; dwelling type; height; density; massing; scale; setbacks and landscaping/open space (among other matters) are not consistent with the low scale context of the area. The proposal would destabilize the character of the established neighbourhood and set a negative precedent for future development in the neighbourhood. As such, staff are of the opinion the proposal in its current form does not represent good planning and is not in the public interest.
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) hearing to oppose the applicant's appeal respecting the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application for 26 - 38 Burnhamthorpe Road and 45 - 49 Burnhamthorpe Crescent. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to continue discussions with the applicant to address the issues outlined in this report and to report back to City Council on the outcome of discussions, if necessary. 3. In the event the LPAT allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request the LPAT to withhold the issuance of any Order(s) on the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment appeal for the subject lands until such time as: a. The proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments are in a final form satisfactory to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor; b. A Section 37 Agreement satisfactory to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor, has been executed and registered on title to the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, securing community benefits to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning in consultation with the Ward Councillor, and securing the matters of legal convenience outlined in Recommendation 4 below; c. The owner has submitted a revised Functional Servicing Report to determine the stormwater runoff, sanitary flow and water supply demand resulting from this development and whether there is adequate capacity in the existing municipal infrastructure to accommodate the proposed development to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; d.

The owner has provided space within the development for the installation of maintenance access holes and sampling ports on the private side, as close to the property line as possible, for both the storm and sanitary service connections, in accordance with the Sewers By-law Chapter 681; f. The owner has submitted a completed Hydrological Review Summary and Servicing Report Groundwater to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; g.

The owner has submitted a tenant relocation and assistance plan to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor; k.

City Council, or the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning where authorized to do so, has authorized the Rental Housing Demolition Application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code pursuant to Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, as applicable, to demolish the existing rental dwelling units at 26 - 38 Burnhamthorpe Road and 45 - 49 Burnhamthorpe Crescent. 4. In the event the LPAT allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to enter into an agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act securing the following as a legal convenience to support development: a. The owner to satisfy the requirements of the Toronto Catholic District School Board regarding warning clauses and signage with respect to school accommodation issues; b.
