25 Mabelle Avenue - Zoning By-Law Amendment Application - Request for Direction Report
On March 9, 2020, the owner of the property at 25 Mabelle Avenue appealed its Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the prescribed timelines of the Planning Act. A LPAT Case Management Conference was held on September 23, 2020 and a 10-day hearing is scheduled to start on April 19, 2021. The site is currently occupied by a 30-storey residential rental apartment building located on the eastern portion of the subject site. The existing building has a total of 416 rental units. The western portion of the subject site is an open space area above the underground parking structure servicing the existing building. The TTC subway tracks pass beneath the southwest corner of the site, as such there is an 323 m2 triangular shaped TTC easement at the southwest corner of the property. The application proposes to amend the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code and Site-Specific Zoning By-law No. 1088-2002 for the property at 25 Mabelle Avenue to develop, on the western portion of site, a 49-storey tower having an overall building height of 153 m (excluding mechanical equipment). The proposal would contain 486 residential units, with approximately 154 m2 of non-residential gross floor area located at-grade fronting Mabelle Avenue. A total of 318 vehicular parking spaces are to be provided in a 4-level underground garage accessible from Mabelle Avenue. The existing underground ramp that services the 30-storey apartment building would be relocated to the east side of the existing building. This report recommends that City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to oppose the current proposal at the LPAT. The proposed built form does not fit within its existing and planned context, nor does it conform to the urban structure set out in the Etobicoke Centre Secondary Plan. The proposal is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), does not conform with the Growth Plan (2020), Official Plan and Etobicoke Centre Secondary Plan, and does not adequately address the City Council-approved design guidelines. The subject site is located in a mid-block location on a local road with no direct access to the Islington subway station, as such the proposed building height and density are not warranted.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and other City staff, and/or retain external consultants, as may be appropriate, to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law amendment application (File Number 18 270817 WET 03 OZ) as proposed. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve the issues identified in this report; and to report back to City Council on the outcome of those discussions, if necessary. 3. In the event that the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal withhold the issuance of any Final Order(s) on the appeal until such time as: a. The Draft Zoning By-law Amendment has been submitted to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor, which is to include the following: i. Securing the existing rental dwelling units, Construction Mitigation and Tenant Communication Plan, and other rental matters as required to conform with Policy 3.2.1.5 of the Official Plan, to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director. ii.

Mimico Land Assembly for Waterfront Trail
The Mimico Waterfront Park, situated between Humber Bay Park West and Norris Crescent Parkette, is a 1.1km multi-use waterfront trail created by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) with funds provided by Waterfront Toronto. It was developed in two phases, the first completed in 2008 and the second in 2012. It provides safe access to the waterfront, improves the ecological functioning of this section of the Lake Ontario shoreline and offers environmental, economic and social benefits to the Mimico community and broader region.

The subdivision at 19 Glen Agar Drive was approved by City Council on March 9, 2017 through item 2017.EY20.5, and it has been nearly completed. The draft plan of subdivision included the creation of a public park, Chimney Swift Park. Parks, Forestry and Recreation worked closely with the local residents, the builder, and the builder's consultant to develop a concept plan for Chimney Swift Park, and construction was planned to start in 2020/2021. In 2020 it was brought to my attention by the City's Project Coordinator that there was a monetary gap of approximately $240,000 between the cost to construct the park with the amenities that were promised to the community and the funds committed by the builder. I requested Parks staff to work with the builder to close this gap. I am writing to request a status update from Parks, Forestry and Recreation on their discussions with the builder.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to report on progress to build Chimney Swift Park at the April 19, 2021 Etobicoke York Community Council meeting.
