EY26.1adopted
This Rental Housing Demolition application proposes to demolish 236 existing social housing units within two- and four- storey residential rental apartment buildings at 3 and 36 Marsh Grassway, 7 & 11 Blue Grassway, 1, 2 and 8 Dune Grassway, 4 & 17 Cane Grassway and 5, 10 and 40 Turf Grassway, as part of the Firgrove Community revitalization proposed by Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC). In 2017, the 134 existing social housing units located at 3 and 36 Marsh Grassway, 7 and 11 Blue Grassway, 1, 2 and 8 Dune Grassway (South Block) were deemed to be unsafe for occupancy, and were vacated and tenants relocated to other TCHC units. The 102 existing social housing units located at 4 and 17 Cane Grassway and 5, 10 and 40 Turf Grassway (East Block) are proposed to be demolished in order to facilitate the overall revitalization of the Firgrove Community. At this time, 49 of the 102 units have been vacated and tenants relocated. The remaining tenants will be relocated by September 30, 2021. The overall Firgrove Community revitalization is subject to a Zoning By-law Amendment application and a Draft Plan of Subdivision application (File Numbers. 20 122745 WET 07 OZ and 20 122857 WET 07 SB respectively) which proposes to establish 9 blocks and 5 public roads that will result in 6 new buildings, a community centre, a public park and the retention of 2 existing buildings. The revitalization would result in the demolition and replacement of 236 social housing units at 3 and 36 Marsh Grassway, 7 and 11 Blue Grassway, 1, 2 and 8 Dune Grassway, 4 and 17 Cane Grassway and 5, 10 and 40 Turf Grassway and the retention of 152 social housing units at 5, 2-14 and 22-36 Needle Firway. The 236 replacement social housing units are proposed to be located in either a high rise or mid-rise form, with grade-related housing integrated at the base of the buildings. The Rental Housing Demolition application proposes to demolish the 236 existing social housing units in advance of an approval on the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment application. On February 26, 2020, City Council approved the Initial Development Proposal, which contemplated that a Rental Housing Demolition Application may precede the approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment application due to the condition of the housing and safety concerns. The South Block has been vacant since 2017 and TCHC has indicated challenges and concerns around securing the deteriorating buildings. The Final Report to recommend approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment application is anticipated for the fourth quarter of this year. This report precedes the rezoning in order to address safety concerns with the vacant and deteriorating units. This report recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code and the demolition permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.

EY26.2amended
This application proposes to amend City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 140, 150, 160, 170, 190 and 220 Sherway Drive. The application is for a new nine storey (46 metres) hospital building with 416 beds at the north end of the site, a new central utility plant to the west of the proposed new hospital building, and a new eight storey (23 metres) above grade parking structure with 838 parking spaces at the south end of the site. All other existing buildings are proposed to remain onsite. The proposal would include approximately 47,500 square metres of new gross floor area for the new hospital, 2,500 square metres of new gross floor area for the new central utility plant and 26,500 square metres of gross floor area for the new parking structure. The ninth floor of the new hospital would be limited to approximately 335 square metres to be used for an indoor amenity area connecting to an outdoor amenity area on the roof of the 8th storey. This is the first phase of redevelopment on the Trillium Health Partners Queensway Hospital site and includes protecting for a public street to be conveyed in future phases of the redevelopment of the site. The application would also rezone lands below the Long Term Stable Top of Slope and their adjoining 10 m buffer from IH (Hospital) to ON (Open Space Natural Area). 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). The proposal conforms with the Official Plan and Sherway Area Secondary Plan policies and is generally consistent with the City's guidelines. The proposed institutional use fits with the existing and planned context of the site. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013 subject to the owner entering into a Section 37 Agreement for matters required to support the development. The proposed zoning will include and be subject to a Holding (H) symbol for a portion of the site which will require certain conditions to be met prior to future development proceeding. The provision of a Holding (H) symbol facilitates consideration of the zoning by-law amendment now and enables staff to conclude that the proposed development is appropriate and represents good planning. While discussions, analysis and revisions of the proposal have evolved since the intial application, a resubmission of material was made on August 18, 2021 which included a newly proposed central utility plant and revised parking information. In the interest of advancing the development of this important health care infrastructure, staff are providing this report and will supplement the material contained in this report with additional comments and the draft zoning by-law amendment prior to the September 10, 2021 Etobicoke York Community Council.

Installation of Speed Cushions on Tandridge Crescent
Dear Chair and Members of Etobicoke York Community Council, The Tandridge community is a close and tight-knit residential neighbourhood located in the Northeast corner of Etobicoke North. With single family dwellings, co-ops, townhomes, a Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) building and Braeburn Junior School, there are many children and young families typically out and about in the area - whether it is going to school or meeting up with friends to play at the local basketball court. With a consistent flow of people outside around the neighbourhood, there have been countless concerns raised over the past few years from residents regarding vehicles speeding and driving both dangerously and recklessly. Unfortunately, these concerns have been amplified by the recent tragic shooting that took place this June in the Tandridge community, where three children were injured at a birthday party. In the aftermath of this saddening event, at a local community meeting with Mayor Tory, one resounding concern was the consistency and frequency of speeding vehicles in the neighbourhood. These community members informed us that oftentimes many of the speeding vehicles are from other neighbourhoods outside of the Tandridge community, and in some cases are entering the area for nefarious purposes. Following this community meeting, residents unanimously supported the idea of installing traffic calming measures on Tandridge Crescent to address speeding concerns. The installation of speed humps is also supported by two residents' associations in the area- the Tandridge Community Collective Group and the Tandridge Residents Cooperative. Following discussions with my office, Transportation Services staff from the City of Toronto, as well as staff at the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) are supportive of the installation of speed cushions to alleviate speeding in the neighbourhood and act as critical traffic calming measures. This motion is requesting to waive the polling requirements under the City's Traffic Calming Policy, authorize the installation of speed cushions on Tandridge Crescent, reduce the speed limit on Tandridge Crescent from 40km/hour to 30km/hour and prepare the necessary by-laws to make these alterations to the roadway.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council waive the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed cushions) on Tandridge Crescent. 2. City Council direct the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway for the installation of six speed cushions on Tandridge Crescent, generally as shown on drawings number EY21-036 dated August 2021 and attached to the letter (September 8, 2021) from Councillor Michael Ford. 3. City Council, subject to approval of Recommendations 1 and 2 above, reduce the speed limit from 40 km/h to 30km/h on the entire length of Tandridge Crescent, in conjunction with the installation of speed cushions.
