This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the City's Zoning By-law 569-2013 and Zoning By-law 7625 for the former City of North York for the property at 831, 833 and 837 Glencairn Avenue and 278, 280 and 282 Hillmount Avenue to permit the construction of a 10 storey (30 metre, excluding mechanical penthouse) mixed use residential and commercial building with a total gross floor area (GFA) of 16,876 square metres and a floor space index (FSI) of 4.55 times the area of the lot. A Rental Housing Demolition application was submitted under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code to demolish a total of 11 residential dwelling units, five of which were last used for residential rental purposes, located within six buildings at 831, 833, and 837 Glencairn Avenue and 278, 280 and 282 Hillmount Avenue. The building would have 218 residential units including two live-work units and 367 square metres of retail uses on the ground floor along Marlee Avenue. A total of 190 vehicle parking spaces are proposed, of which 5 spaces would be on the surface at the rear of the building and the remainder in two underground levels. Vehicle access to the underground parking garage is proposed on the west side of the building via a north-south laneway with access onto Glencairn Avenue and Hillmount Avenue. The laneway would be buffered from the adjacent dwellings to the west by a landscape strip a minimum of 1.5 metres in width. The proposed development includes 436 square metres of indoor amenity space and 436 square metres of outdoor amenity space. A 3.44 metre road widening along Marlee Avenue will be secured in accordance with the Official Plan. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) as it provides residential intensification on site and a mix of land uses which efficiently uses land and resources in an area identified as appropriate for growth in the City's Official Plan. The proposal supports the goal of providing a range and mix of housing types and is transit supportive being in close proximity to the Glencairn subway station. The proposal conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) as it provides a compact built form supporting higher order transit in an area identified in the City's Official Plan as appropriate for intensification. The development would be located and massed to provide a transition to the neighbouring properties through appropriate setbacks and stepping down of height toward the Neighbourhoods to the west to adequately limit impacts on those adjacent lower scale residential areas. This report recommends approval of Zoning By-law Amendment application and the Rental Housing Demolition application under Chapters 667 and 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code. Replacement of the rental dwelling units is not required as the property contains fewer than six rental dwelling units. This development can be the impetus for a revitalized Marlee Avenue and help to provide more housing options for the community with additional residents to support existing and planned transit infrastructure and local business.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit seven townhouse units fronting Bayview Avenue and two detached houses to the rear of the site fronting onto a shared private north-south driveway. The townhouses are separated into two blocks of three units on the north side and four units on the south side of the site. The townhouses are proposed to be three storeys and the detached houses would be two storeys in height. Vehicular access to the townhouse rear integral garages and the front integral garages of the detached houses is proposed from a shared private east-west driveway off Bayview Avenue.

Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - Don Mills Crossing Properties
This report recommends that City Council include 16 properties identified in Recommendation 1 of this report on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The properties are located within the Don Mills Crossing Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) study area. As part of the Don Mills Crossing Study, which resulted in the Don Mills Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 404), City Planning initiated a CHRA to ensure that all properties of cultural heritage value or interest were appropriately identified, understood and conserved as part of an up-to-date planning framework. The planning framework is supported by analysis of the broader context through a number of component studies, including the CHRA, to enable a thorough review of the area context. The CHRA Study Area (noted as 'Study Area' within this report) includes properties currently located between Leslie Street to the west, Barber Greene Road and Green Belt Drive to the north, and the Canadian National Railway line to the south and east. The CHRA identified a collection of company headquarters, institutional and clean industrial buildings constructed between 1950 and 1975 whose Modernist design, low-rise scale, and landscaped settings linked together by a series of curvilinear roads has resulted in a unique cultural heritage landscape informed by the Garden City principles combined with Modernist architecture style. This approach to architecture and a generous landscaped setting was fundamental to the planning of Don Mills. The CHRA also identified housing that responded to the principles of incorporating Modernist architecture in a landscaped setting. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register. Properties on the City's Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
North York Community Council: 1. Deferred consideration of the item until its meeting on January 8, 2020.
