This application requests a Part Lot Control Exemption for a portion of the lands formerly known as 115 Torbarrie Road (Parts 109-113 of Block 152 and Lot 1 on Plan 66M-2436). The site was subject to previous Part Lot Control Exemptions for the creation of conveyable lots for the development of 224 townhouse dwelling and 24 pairs of semi-detached dwelling units which have expired. This Part Lot Control Exemption would only apply to the six remaining lots that have not yet been conveyed to individual purchasers. The exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act would permit the creation of conveyable lots for the development of the remaining dwelling units. The proposal complies with the existing Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The lifting of Part Lot Control for a period of two years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of these lands. This report reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption.
Etobicoke York Community Council deferred consideration of this Item to its meeting on February 14, 2019.
Staff recommendation as filed

City Council require the owner to provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, prior to the enactment of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law. 3. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title. 4.

The owner of the site at 1197 The Queensway and 8 Zorra Street has appealed the 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 Pre-Hearing Conference is scheduled for January 29, 2019, to set the parameters and the future date of the hearing. This application proposes to amend the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code (Site Specific By-law No. 514-2003) to permit a 13 storey (44 m in height including the indoor amenity space on the roof and the mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building containing 159 dwelling units at 1197 The Queensway and 8 Zorra Street. The development would have a total gross floor area of 13,110 m², including 347 m² of retail space at grade, representing a Floor Space Index of 7.93 times the area of the lot. A total of 118 parking spaces within a 3 level underground parking garage are proposed. 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 application, as currently proposed. This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application in its current form with respect to the proposed building height, massing, stepbacks and density. The proposed building height and density are not in keeping with the existing or planned context for the Avenues area along The Queensway as identified in Official Plan policies, The Queensway Avenue Study, the implementing Zoning By-law nor the Queensway Design Guidelines and Streetscape Improvements. The proposed development is also not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and does not conform, and conflicts with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017), and fails to conform to the City's Official Plan in its current form.
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and other appropriate staff, to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment application in its current form for the reasons contained in the report (December 14, 2018) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to seek revisions to the proposal and continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve the issues detailed in the report (December 14, 2018) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and to report back to City Council on the outcome of discussions, if necessary. 3. City Council require that, in the event the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal approves the Zoning By-law Amendment application, in whole or in part, an on-site parkland dedication or a combination of cash in-lieu payment and on-site dedication pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act be conveyed to the City, as described and set out in the report (December 14, 2018) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, to the satisfaction the General Manger, Parks, Forestry and Recreation. 4. In the event the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal allows the appeal, in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request the LPAT to withhold its Order on the Zoning By-law Amendment application until such a time as: a. The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal has been advised by the City Solicitor that the final form and content of the draft by-law is satisfactory to the City Solicitor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, to include: i. The requirement for appropriate matters, services and facilities to be provided by the owner at its expense pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act and any other matters necessary to support the development. 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 City Planning staff and the Ward Councillor and executed and registered on title to the lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor. The Agreement is to also include as a legal convenience: i. All matters pertaining to parkland dedication conveyance, design and construction. ii. The owner shall enter into a financially secured Development Agreement for the construction of any improvements to the existing municipal infrastructure, should it be determined that upgrades are required to the infrastructure to support this development. iii.

The owner has entered into a financially secured Development Agreement for the construction of any improvements to the municipal infrastructure, should it be determined that upgrades and road improvements are required to support the development, according to the Transportation Impact Study accepted by the General Manager of Transportation Services and the Functional Servicing Report and Stormwater Management Report and Geotechnical/Hydrogeological Report, accepted by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services. f. The owner has provided space within the development for 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. g. The owner shall be required to satisfy a set of standard pre-conditions related to parkland conveyance, including, but not limited to, matters such as compliance with the Municipal Code, Environmental Assessments, Building Code fire separation distance and base park improvements to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation. h.

Parking Regulations - Esther Lorrie Drive
I have received multiple complaints from residents on Esther Lorrie Drive who are concerned about traffic safety related to on street parking between Jansusie Road and Kipling Avenue. During the winter months it is difficult to clear snow with vehicles parked on the street. Snow piles up next to parked cars and greatly reduces the lane width needed to accommodate two way traffic and the left turn lane to Kipling Avenue. I would ask that you support the recommendation below which would prohibit parking on the south side of Esther Lorrie Drive between Jansusie Road and Kipling Avenue.
Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Prohibited parking at all times on the south side of Esther Lorrie Drive, between Jansusie Road and Kipling Avenue.

Request for Attendance at a Toronto Local Appeal Body Hearing - 10 Academy Road
Michael Manett (the "Applicant"), on behalf of the owners Daniel and Herminio Oliviera, applied to the Etobicoke-York Panel of the Committee of Adjustment (Application Numbers A0028/18EYK, A0029/18EYK and B0004/18EYK) (the "Applications") for minor variances and for consent to sever respecting the site at 10 Academy Road. The applicant sought consent to sever the property into two lots and proposed a new two storey single detached dwelling for each new lot. On March 22, 2018, Community Planning for the Etobicoke York District wrote a report to the Committee of Adjustment recommending that the consent and minor variances be refused. On April 26, 2018, the Committee of Adjustment deferred the application to the next available hearing date in order to provide the applicant with time to consult with Community Planning and the Councillor's office. The owner met with Community Planning on April 30, 2018 and subsequently submitted revised plans. On October 4, 2018, Community Planning wrote a Revised Staff Report, which still recommended the refusal of the consent and minor variances because the proposed undersized residential lots and resulting variances would not respect and reinforce the existing physical character of the neighbourhood and would not be in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. On October 11, 2018, the Committee of Adjustment refused the applications. The decisions are attached to this Motion. The applicant appealed the decision on October 29, 2018. The City Solicitor brought a motion to the Toronto Local Appeal Body (the "TLAB") on January 3, 2019 to be added as a party to the proceeding. This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor, and appropriate City Staff, to attend the TLAB in order to oppose the proposed variances and consent requested in the Applications. This matter is time sensitive and urgent as the City Solicitor has already filed a motion to the Toronto Local Appeal Body to request party status and requires instructions to attend the hearing for this matter.
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, along with appropriate City Staff, to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body in order to oppose the variances and consent requested in Application Numbers A0028/18EYK, A0029/18EYK and B0004/18EYK respecting 10 Academy Road.
