EY28.1amended
This application proposes to amend the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code, as amended by Site-Specific Zoning By-laws 1088-2002, 1100-2016 and 769-2016, to permit a comprehensive multi-phased mixed-use development which includes four buildings and eight towers at 5415-5481, 5485 & 5487 Dundas Street West and 15 & 25 Shorncliffe Road. This new proposal would over-ride the previously approved development on the subject lands with the exception of Phase 1, which is under construction. The new development of Phases 2, 3, 4 and 6 would contain over 15,000 m2 of non-residential gross floor area and 2,875 residential units. The towers would range in height from 26 to 44 storeys. The application proposes a public street connecting Dundas Street West and Shorncliffe Road, as well as new municipal infrastructure upgrades to the existing sanitary sewer. The application will result in a total of 6,792 m2 of parkland, with the subject application proposing a 4,144 m2 public park fronting onto Dundas Street West and 2,468 m2 of parkland which is to be conveyed as part of the Phase 1 development. Although Phase 1 development does not form this application, this report also seeks City Council authority to amend the existing Section 37 agreement with respect to the timing of the Phase 1 parkland conveyance. Site-Specific Zoning By-laws 1100-2016 and 769-2016 approved a multi-phased tall building development with six buildings and eight towers, 2,311 residential units, and an overall gross floor area of 215,988 m2. Not including the Phase 1 building that is under construction, the remaining permissions for the subject lands would be 2,016 residential units and with an overall gross floor area of 188,034 m2 within five buildings and seven towers. The new application proposes taller buildings and an overall gross floor area of 233,493 m2 on the same lands, which is a difference of 859 units and approximately 45,500 m2 from the previous approval. An application for Draft Plan of Subdivision approval is required to create the new public street, the public park block and to secure municipal infrastructure upgrades. 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 site is consistent with the policies of the Official Plan and Etobicoke Centre Secondary Plan. The proposal respects and reinforces the existing and planned built form context of the surrounding area. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-laws and also advises that the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning may approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision.

180 Queens Drive - Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register
This report recommends that City Council include the property at 180 Queens Drive on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for its cultural heritage value. The subject property is situated prominently at the northeast corner of Queens Drive and Pine Street, south of Church Street, west of Jane Street, and north of John Street in the Weston neighbourhood. It contains a three-storey brick and stone house and was constructed in 1912 for the prominent Weston resident, Oliver Master, and his family. The house is situated on a large corner lot and setback from Queens Drive, reflecting the original lot pattern and organization of the street. The subject property is a representative example of the Queen Anne Revival Style. As one of the earliest properties constructed in the historic Town of Weston in the area east of Pine Street, south of Church Street, west of Jane Street, and north of William Street, the property at 180 Queens Drive is important in maintaining and supporting the context of the area. The property at 180 Queens Drive contributes to a sense of place within the Weston neighbourhood, and is valued by the local community as a significant part of the area's history and present-day context. The property at 180 Queens Drive was nominated for inclusion on the Heritage Register by Cherri Hurst, President of the Weston Historical Society, on their behalf in September 2020. Following research and evaluation according to Ontario Regulation 9/06, it has been determined that the property at 180 Queens Drive (Oliver Master House, 1912) is significant as a representative example of the Queen Anne Revival Style, as well as its association with Oliver Master, a prominent resident in Weston, and for it contributing to the historic context of the Weston neighbourhood. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the property at 180 Queens Drive on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Listing Statement (Reasons for Inclusion), attached as Attachment 3 to the report (October 21, 2021) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning.
