NY12.1adopted
This application proposes to amend Zoning By-law Nos. 438-86 and 569-2013 to permit the redevelopment of the subject lands for a 8-storey (27.85 metre high) mixed use building containing 65 residential units (inclusive of 13 replacement rental dwelling units) and 143 square metres of non-residential gross floor area on the ground floor resulting in an overall density (Floor Space Index - FSI) of 4.03 times the lot area. The proposed development would include 73 parking spaces in a three-level underground garage. A Rental Housing Demolition application was submitted under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act to demolish two existing semi-detached buildings and two existing single-detached buildings containing a total of 14 existing residential dwelling units, of which 13 are currently rental dwelling units and 1 dwelling unit is owner occupied. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposal represents an appropriate built form for a mixed use building and provides for an appropriate transition from Mixed Use Areas to Neighbourhoods. The proposed development is also transit-supportive, being in proximity to the future Leaside LRT station at Bayview Avenue and Eglinton Avenue East. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. This report reviews and recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition Permit under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code and the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions. This report also recommends entering into a Section 111 agreement for the site.

Final Report - Zoning By-law Amendment - Removal of the Holding (H) Symbol - 2075 Bayview Avenue
This Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes to partially lift the Holding (H) Symbol on the site in order to increase the maximum gross floor area of the entire site from 259,798 square metres to 260,238 square metres to accommodate an enclosed Combined Heat and Power generating building at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. The proposed addition would be approximately 440 square metres and connected at the side to the existing Powerhouse building towards the interior of the site. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms and does not conflict with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposed addition would be integrated with the existing Sunnybrook health facility and would support the objectives of the PPS (2014) and the Growth Plan (2019) by improving an existing healthcare facility that will help improve the lives of patients.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 substantially in accordance with the Draft Zoning By-law Amendment, attached as Attachment No. 8 to the report (December 11, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District. 2.

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the properties at 2490-2514 Yonge Street, 10-12 Castlefield Avenue, and portions of 20 Castlefield Avenue and 567 Duplex Avenue to permit a 14-storey (50.4 metres - excluding mechanical penthouse) mixed use building containing 150 dwelling units and retail uses at grade along Yonge Street. Portions of the existing heritage building (Capitol Theatre) located at 2490-2506 Yonge St are proposed to be conserved. The Capitol Theatre façade, and existing canopy structure, are proposed to be incorporated into the development. The Capitol Theatre would be commemorated by replication of its volume on the ground floor, and the vestibule space would be rebuilt to a similar footprint. A total of 191 vehicular parking spaces are proposed that would be accessed from a driveway off of Castlefield Avenue. The proposal has an overall gross floor area of 18,675 square metres, of which 1,403 square metres are proposed to be dedicated to non-residential uses at grade, with the remaining 17,271 square metres of gross floor area dedicated to residential uses. An overall floor space index (FSI) of 6.21 is proposed. A total of 162 bicycle parking spaces are proposed for the development, of which 24 are proposed to be located at grade, with the remaining 138 bicycle parking spaces located within the first level of underground parking. The proposal includes a proposed land exchange with the City, where approximately 650 square metres of Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) lands with frontage on Castlefield Avenue would be acquired by the applicant to be incorporated in the proposed development proposal in exchange for an equivalent or nearly equivalent area of land with frontage on Duplex Avenue to be conveyed to the City (see Attachment 7). The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposal is in keeping with the intent of the Toronto Official Plan, particularly as it relates to intensifying a Mixed Use Areas site within close proximity to higher order transit and providing a range of housing types. The proposal provides an appropriate separation to the existing neighbourhoods to the west and provides an improved public realm along both street frontages with new sidewalks and landscaping. In addition, the proposal conserves a heritage resource on site (Capitol Theatre), and provides improved views to the Orange Hall, an adjacent listed heritage building. The proposed Section 37 benefits will include improvements to Northern District Library. This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

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 recommends that: 1. City Council include the following properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register: a. 81 Barber Greene Road; b. 849 Don Mills Road; c. 95-155 Leeward Glenway; d. 1133 Leslie Street; e. 44-52 Prince Andrew Place; f. 20 Wynford Drive; g. 90 Wynford Drive; and h. 100 Wynford Drive. 2. City Council defer including the following properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register to allow City Staff more time for further productive dialogue with the property owners: a. 789 Don Mills Road; b. 15 Gervais Drive; c. 33 Green Belt Drive; d. 1123 Leslie Street; e. 1135 Leslie Street; f. 39 Wynford Drive; and g. 50 Wynford Drive. 3.
