The tower heights would be 81.7 and 113.3 metres, respectively, and the podium would have a height of 26.4 metres. The proposed development would have a total gross floor area of 67,458 square metres, which would result in a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 5.72 times the area of the lands. A new 1,575 square metre public park would be provided on the south-east corner of the site and an additional 759 square metres of Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS) is proposed between the buildings. 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 (2020).

City Council at its meeting on September 30, October 1 and 2, 2020 adopted By-law 843-2020 and By-law 844-2020 amending the former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625 and City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 respectively. On November 4, 2020 the applicant filed an appeal to City Council's decision related to the proposed amendment to City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 via By-law 844-2020 requesting a reduction in the west side yard setback for Lot 5. The side yard setback on the west side of Lot 5 was approved as 11.75 metres as shown on Diagram 5 of By-law 844-2020. The applicant has requested to reduce the setback to 1.8 metres to accommodate a larger dwelling on Lot 5. No changes are proposed to By-law 843-2020. The revised proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) and Neighbourhood policies of the Official Plan.

2200 Islington Avenue - Application to Lift Holding Provisions (H) - Status Update
At its meeting on March 3, 2021, Etobicoke York Community Council requested the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, to prepare a report with an update on the holding provisions for 2200 Islington Avenue, including a complete list of conditions required to lift the holding provisions, and an update on the status of the conditions. This report responds to this request. On October 16, 2020, an application was submitted to remove the Holding (H) symbol from the lands subject to Site-Specific Zoning By-law 808-2018 at 2200 Islington Avenue. The Holding (H) symbol only applies to the eastern portion of the site which is to be lifted upon the fulfillment of four conditions related to the realignment of the Islington Avenue and Rexdale Boulevard intersection (see Attachment 4: Schedule 'B' of Zoning By-law 808-2018). The adoption of the site-specific zoning by-law was based on the applicant's proposed construction phasing of the site, whereby the western portion of the lands would be constructed in advance of the eastern portion of the site subject to the holding provisions. This was done to allow for the reconstruction of the Islington Avenue and Rexdale Boulevard, as well as the sale of the remnant City lands to the applicant to be consolidated as part of the development site. Since the adoption of Zoning By-law 808-2018, the applicant has revised their construction phasing to prioritize the development of the eastern portion of the site to occur in conjunction with the development of the entire site. Planning staff are of the opinion that the holding provisions have not yet been satisfied. While the applicant has made significant strides in attempting to fulfill the holding provisions by advancing the intersection realignment construction and working towards finalizing the sale of the remnant lands, to date only one of the four conditions has been satisfied. Staff will prepare a further report regarding the lifting of the holding provisions once the conditions have been fulfilled.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend By-law 808-2018 to lift the holding provision (H) from the northeast portion of the lands and direct the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District and the City Solicitor to introduce bills at such time as the intent of the holding provisions contained in the by-law are satisfied as set out in the report from City Planning dated March 29, 2021, or as otherwise may be determined appropriate by the Director, Community Planning. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and any other City staff to take such actions as are required to implement the decision of City Council.

Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 96 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens Avenue
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the two properties at 96 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. City Council added the properties to the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in December 2020. Located on the west side of Superior and Queens Avenues at the convergence of the two streets, just south of Cavell Avenue and the CN railway. The properties at 96 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens Avenue have design value as well-designed house-form buildings constructed in 1923-24 that incorporate elements of the British-inspired Cottage style with their symmetrically-arranged principal elevations and stone cladding. The properties represent the two surviving examples in a fine collection of originally three stone cottages (along with the demolished cottage at 98 Superior Avenue) that is unique in the Mimico area. The adjacent property at 98 Superior Avenue was built together with the subject properties, however, the cottage was demolished in the hours preceding the November 30, 2020 meeting of the Toronto Preservation Board prior to considering staff recommendations for the intention to designate the property. Upon subsequent direction from the local councillor and members of the Etobicoke York Community Council to further evaluate the surviving two properties at 96 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens Avenue, Heritage Planning staff have determined that both properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. While the loss of the third cottage at 98 Superior Avenue is unfortunate, staff do not believe that this negatively impacts the cultural heritage value of the two remaining original dwellings at 96 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens Avenue.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 96 Superior Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 96 Superior Avenue (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (March 1, 2021) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning. 2.

If there are no objections to the designation(s) in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill(s) in Council. 4. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the proposed designation(s) to the Conservation Review Board. 5. If the designation(s) is referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council's decision to designate the property.

Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register- 60 Birmingham Street
This report recommends that City Council include the property at 60 Birmingham Street (including an active entrance address at 175 New Toronto Street) on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for its cultural heritage value. The subject property is situated on the north side of Birmingham Street, east of Islington Avenue, south of New Toronto Street, and west of Dwight Avenue. It is the site of the former Campbell Soup Company, Limited, of Canada, plant and is comprised of a complex of structures that were constructed from 1931-c.2000s (Figure 3). Campbell Soup Company, Limited, of Canada, continued to own and occupy the plant until 2019. It was designed by the prolific Toronto architectural firm Mathers & Haldenby, and the principal (south) elevation of the manufacturing building fronting Birmingham Street is a representative example of a factory-style building fashioned in the Art Deco style. In 1944, Mathers & Haldenby designed an eastern addition to the manufacturing building in the Art Deco style and continued to design additions to the complex until the early-1970s. Following further research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 60 Birmingham Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City of Toronto also applies when evaluating properties for its Heritage Register. A Site Plan Approval application was submitted on June 4, 2020 and is currently under review. Two community consultations were held on September 29, 2020. City staff have dialogued with the applicant and their consultants in identifying the cultural heritage value of the large industrial building complex. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.

The purpose of this report is to advise Council concerning an application by the property owner of 156 Church St for a site-specific Fence Exemption, pursuant to Section 447-1.5 B of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447- Fences. The property owner is seeking Council's permission to build a new fence, which does not comply with maximum fence height restrictions stipulated by Section 447-1.2 B(1) of the bylaw.
