801 The Queensway - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Final Report
This application proposes to amend the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code (Site Specific Zoning By-law No. 514-2003) to permit a 10-storey (31.5 metres in height plus an additional 5.5 metres for the mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building at 801 The Queensway. The proposed building would contain 203 dwelling units, a Gross Floor Area of 14,972 square metres (of which 645 square metres would be commercial space) for a total density of 5.26 times the area of the lot. A total of 133 parking spaces (including three car-share spaces) are proposed and spaces would be provided within a two-level underground parking garage and two drop-off spaces are proposed at ground level. 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). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application in its current form with respect to the proposed building typology, building height, massing, and density to amend the Zoning By-law. Although the building height and density exceeds the development standards established in the Avenue Study, City Planning staff are of the opinion that the necessary revisions have been made to ensure that the development is in keeping with the intent of the mid-rise vision for The Queensway. The revised proposal is reflective of a mid-rise built form typology generally consistent with the vision of The Queensway Avenue Study as well as the Mid-Rise Building Design Guidelines. Further, the building has been massed with various setbacks and stepbacks that minimize shadow and visual impacts on the public realm and to achieve a well-proportioned pedestrian-scale streetwall along The Queensway.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 514-2003, for the lands at 801 The Queensway, substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (June 9, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District. 2.

8 to 16 Locust Street and 15 Oxford Drive - Rental Housing Demolition Application - Final Report
This application proposes to demolish six rental units at 8 and 12 Locust Street as part of the development of the lands at 8 to 16 Locust Street and 15 Oxford Drive. The related Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications propose a 36-storey residential building comprised of 383 dwelling units, including six replacement rental units on the second floor of the new building. The proposal includes a Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan that addresses the right for existing tenants to return to a replacement rental unit at similar rent and financial compensation to mitigate hardship. The existing 10-storey rental apartment building known municipally as 15 Oxford Drive, which is comprised of 430 rental dwelling units, would be retained as part of the development and none of the building's residents would experience any changes to their tenancies. The properties are the subject of an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) application (20 113215 WET 05 OZ), which was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). A settlement offer was endorsed by City Council on February 2, 2022.

Mount Dennis Secondary Plan - Final Report
This report recommends the adoption of a new Secondary Plan for the Mount Dennis area as a result of the Picture Mount Dennis Planning Framework Study ("Study"), and advises on next steps required to complete the implementation of the Study. The report recommends amendments to the Official Plan for Chapter 6, Secondary Plans; Chapter 7, Site and Area Specific Policies; Map 2 - Urban Structure; Maps 14 and 17 - Land Use Plan, Map 25 - Site and Area Specific Policies Key Map; Map 35 - Secondary Plan Key Map; Schedule 2 - The Designation of Planned but Unbuilt Roads of the Official Plan; and Schedule 4 - Description of Views. These recommended amendments are the result of extensive consultation and engagement with local residents and businesses, stakeholder groups, Indigenous communities and agencies conducted through all three phases of the Study. The Study has been a collaborative effort from various City Divisions including: City Planning; Parks, Forestry and Recreation; Transportation Services; Toronto Water; Economic Development and Culture; Toronto Public Health; Children's Services; Social Development, Finance and Administration; Indigenous Affairs Office; and Environment and Energy Division; along with other key divisions. City Planning retained a planning consultant to undertake the Picture Mount Dennis Planning Framework Study and to support associated public engagement processes. The consultant's final report contains study findings and policy recommendations for an updated planning framework to establish local development policies necessary to guide current and future growth and change in the area. At its meeting on January 5, 2022, Etobicoke York Community Council considered a final report on the study (EY29.2) providing an overview of the consultant's report entitled Picture Mount Dennis Planning Framework. Community Council adopted the recommendations of the report, with an amendment directing staff to bring forward a draft Official Plan Amendment for Mount Dennis to a meeting of the Etobicoke York Community Council by June 2022. This recommended Official Plan Amendment for Mount Dennis has regard to matters of provincial interest under Section 2 of the Planning Act, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The Secondary Plan also maintains the intent and purpose of, and conforms to the City's Official Plan. Following approval of this recommended Official Plan Amendment, City Planning staff will commence a transition to implementation phase of the study with ongoing community engagement focused on the development of a zoning by-law amendment, urban design guidelines, mobility feasibility assessment and an implementation strategy for servicing infrastructure.

Secondary Plan implementation will focus on a community for everyone and anti-displacement, to ensure that those in the community who wish to stay are supported in doing so. The tools available will be used to maintain the diversity and affordability of the housing stock, to create a safe and welcoming public realm and community facilities, and to generate inclusive employment opportunities so that everyone feels that they belong in Mount Dennis. b. Amend section 12 of the Mount Dennis Secondary Plan by adding a new policy 12.4, with subsequent policies in this section to be appropriately renumbered.

Improving Safety and Enhancing the Public Realm in Long Branch
Lake Shore Boulevard West, is classified as a "major arterial" in the City of Toronto road system. There are two through lanes in each direction with Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) streetcars sharing the inside with other traffic, and bike lanes designated on both sides of the road. Currently, the south side of Lake Shore Blvd. W is configured to allow angled parking, which protrudes onto the sidewalk and makes reversing out of parking spots into traffic potentially dangerous due to other parked vehicles restricting visibility of oncoming vehicular and bicycle traffic. The streetscape along Lake Shore Boulevard West in Long Branch is changing, with new low and mid-rise residential development and new commercial operations at ground level. The public realm along Lake Shore Boulevard West would be greatly improved by replacing the angled parking with parallel parking spots and widening the sidewalk to allow more room for pedestrians, streetscape beautification, and restaurant patios. Given that there is no major capital construction scheduled for this area in the next five years, having a conceptual plan in place would allow for the work to be undertaken through potential future private development. In 2017, Etobicoke York Community Council approved a report for item EY23.58 Parking and Streetscape Pilot Project on Lake Shore Boulevard West, between Thirty Sixth Street and Thirty Seventh Street, with a conceptual design, cost and parking supply implications. The pilot project was never implemented.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, report back in the First Quarter of 2023 with a conceptual design to replace the angle parking between 3809 and 3285 Lake Shore Boulevard West, on the south side, with parallel parking and a widened sidewalk in consultation with the local City Councillor, and report back in the Fourth Quarter of 2023 with a more detailed design and funding sources.

Level Two Pedestrian Crossover Protection on Renforth Drive at Toledo Road
The intersection of Renforth Drive and Toledo Road has been the subject of past requests for consideration of pedestrian crossover protection. In August 2018, I identified this location among the top priorities for local Vision Zero initiatives in a letter to the General Manager of Transportation Services. More recently, I have received additional requests to examine this location by the Bloordale Junior Middle School community, and from the local Toronto District School Board Trustee. The intersection is adjacent Bloordale Junior Middle School; which is also a Community Recreation School, Bloordale Park and near The West Mall Pool and Tennis Courts. Due to the numerous community facilities and their location, there is a concentration of pedestrians including children and seniors who need to cross Renforth Drive at Toledo Road. Among the concerns with this intersection is that the nearest controlled crossing would require pedestrians to travel approximately either 485m north to the traffic control signals at Burnhamthorpe Road or 410m south to the pedestrian crossover at Bridgetown Drive. Despite lowering the speed limit to 40 km/h on Renforth Drive in 2019, examples of excessive speeding persist which contribute to the concerns. In the past, I requested Transportation Services to conduct an investigation into the feasibility of installing a pedestrian crossover at this intersection. The study results from 2018 indicated an adjusted pedestrian volume of 323. However the warrants for "Pedestrian Volume" and "Pedestrian Delays" were 77% and 100% fulfilled respectively. The installation of a PXO was deemed not justified nor recommended by staff as the pedestrian crossover warrant requirements were not satisfied Since that time, preliminary discussions with Traffic Operations staff suggest that this location could be a suitable candidate for a new Level 2 crossover. In more recent conversations I have learned that the work to develop new standards and specifications for new Level 2 crossovers are nearing conclusion which could make such an installation a viable and supportable option. I am writing to ask your support in directing Transportation Services to report back at the next Etobicoke York Community Council Meeting on the suitability of implementing a Level 2 crossover on Renforth Drive at Toledo Road to ensure that an appropriate solution may be provided as soon as possible.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Directed Transportation Services to report back to the next Etobicoke York Community Council meeting on the suitability of implementing a Level 2 pedestrian crossover on Renforth Drive at Toledo Road.
