Final Report - Sherway Area Secondary Plan
This report recommends that City Council adopt the Sherway Area Secondary Plan (the "Secondary Plan"). The Secondary Plan is a comprehensive planning framework for the lands bounded by Highway 427, the Queen Elizabeth Way, Etobicoke Creek and the Canadian Pacific rail corridor, which directs anticipated growth to appropriate locations, secures public realm amenities and identifies community facilities necessary to meet the existing and future needs of residents and workers. The Secondary Plan facilitates the transformation of the Sherway Area from an auto-oriented, primarily retail destination to a vibrant, complete mixed-use community, through the introduction of mixed-use development as well as new public streets, parks and open spaces to accompany development. The Secondary Plan provides an overarching framework for land use, development capacity, a new street network and a parks and open space system, within which more detailed precinct planning can be undertaken. Given the overall size of the Secondary Plan area (approximately 136 hectares), this approach is appropriate to respond to specific conditions and desired character of multiple precincts, including the need to acknowledge existing uses and required phasing of development. The Secondary Plan provides flexibility regarding the location and timing of dedication of public streets, the number and locations of new parks, and built form. The provision of clear and specific policy direction at the macro level, coupled with flexibility in implementation at the precinct level, will allow development to proceed in a predictable and consistent manner while ensuring precinct-specific conditions can be addressed. The Secondary Plan is the outcome of the Sherway Area Study, a four-phased process to address City Council's direction to review and update the planning framework for the area. The Sherway Area Study included a thorough public consultation process and the input of staff from various City Divisions and commenting agencies. Following the Sherway Area Study, City Council directed staff to replace the current Sherway Area Site and Area Specific Policies with a Secondary Plan for the area based on its key findings. A draft of the Secondary Plan was released in the Spring of 2019 for public consultation, as well as divisional and agency review. The Secondary Plan is accompanied by Urban Design and Streetscape Guidelines for the Sherway Area, which provides more detailed standards to assist in the review of development applications and public realm improvements, and the implementation of the Secondary Plan. The Secondary Plan has regard to matters of provincial interest under Section 2 of the Planning Act, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The Secondary Plan also maintains the intent and purpose of, and conforms to the City's Official Plan.

City Council adopt Official Plan Amendment 469, Sherway Area Secondary Plan, included as Attachment 1 to the supplementary report (October 9, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District. 2.

Request for Directions Report - 2 St. Lawrence Avenue - Official Plan Amendment Application
This application proposes to amend Site and Area Specific Policy 6 (SASP 6) of the Official Plan to permit high density residential uses (a total of 558 residential units) at 2 St. Lawrence Avenue (also known as Parcel 4 in SASP 6). Parcel 4 is currently designated for commercial uses only. SASP 6 also contains a maximum number of residential units and gross density limits for the lands bounded by The Queensway, St. Lawrence Avenue, the Gardiner Expressway and Zorra Street, which this application is seeking to increase. The owner of the site at 2 St. Lawrence Avenue has appealed this Official Plan Amendment application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") on the basis of City Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the statutory timeframe of the Planning Act. The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction for the City Solicitor and other appropriate City staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in support of the proposal as outlined in this report. The first Pre-Hearing Conference was held on August 27, 2018 and a second Pre-Hearing Conference was held on March 14, 2019. A third Pre-Hearing Conference is scheduled for November 28, 2019. The proposed Official Plan Amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposal would implement the Official Plan by providing for growth and a mix of uses in a Mixed Use Areas designation consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in conformity with the Growth Plan. The proposal would allow for a development that would integrate well with the planned and existing built form context of the neighbourhood and would contribute towards implementing the vision for new public streets as well as a new public park.
Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and any other appropriate staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) hearing on 2 St. Lawrence Avenue in support of the proposed Official Plan Amendment as outlined in this report. 2. In the event the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request that LPAT withhold its Order(s) approving the Official Plan Amendment until such time as the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the owner has provided a draft Official Plan Amendment to LPAT in a form and content to the satisfaction of the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, and pending: a. The draft Official Plan Amendment ensuring the provision of non-residential uses at an appropriate location fronting onto public streets. b. Confirmation from the City Solicitor that the owner has submitted a revised Traffic Study for review and acceptance by the General Manager of Transportation Services and Transportation Planning staff. This revised report would determine whether the existing road network can support the proposed increase in development permissions and whether improvements to the existing municipal road network are required. c. Confirmation from the City Solicitor that the owner has submitted a revised Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report for review and acceptance by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services. This revised report would determine whether the municipal water, sanitary and storm sewer system can support the proposed increase in development permissions as well as determine whether upgrades and improvements to the existing municipal infrastructure are required. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and other City staff to take such actions as are required to implement the above recommendations.

All Way Stop Control Janda Court/ Quinella Drive/ Triple Crown Avenue
In May 2019, Transportation Services staff conducted an All Way Stop Control study for the intersection of Janda Court/ Quinella Drive/ Triple Crown Avenue. The warrants for the implementation of the All Way Stop were not met at this time. Residents in this community continue to be concerned with the lack of controls at this intersection as it does have a heavier pedestrian traffic flow. Janda Park playground and Triple Crown parkette are directly to the north of this intersection. A pedestrian pathway is also located directly across from this intersection. This pathway leads to a local soccer field and is a connection to the sidewalk on Hwy 27. Many residents make their way from within the community to the pedestrian pathway so they can walk along Hwy 27 south to Woodbine Mall or north to Humber College. The recommendation below would permit the installation of an All Way Stop Control at this intersection of Janda Court/ Quinella Drive/ Triple Crown Avenue.
Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Authorized an All Way Stop Control at Janda Court/Quinella Drive/Triple Crown Avenue.

Speed Limit Reduction - Janda Court Community
Since 2017, my office has been working closely with residents in the Janda Court area to address traffic safety concerns in the community. I have met with this community on numerous occasions and residents have overwhelmingly requested a reduction in speed limit for the residential area north of Queens Plate Drive. This neighbourhood contains two parks and is in close proximity to both Woodbine Mall to the south and Humber College to the north. The City's "Vision Zero 2.0 - Road Safety Plan" report, as adopted by Council, recommended that all local residential roads be converted to 30 km/h. As authority for changing speed limits on local roads is delegated to Community Council, the bylaws to reduce local roads to 30 km/h will be part of future reports to Community Council. I am asking for your support to move this item forward for my community, to ensure that a speed limit reduction to 30km/hr can be put in place as quickly as possible.
Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Reduced the speed limit from 40km/hr to 30km/hr on the following streets: - Janda Court - Triple Crown Avenue - Quinella Drive - Mare Crescent - Stallion Place.
