Final Report - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - 3401 Dufferin Street and 1 Yorkdale Road
This application proposes to amend the parking provisions in the site-specific by-law at 3401 Dufferin Street and 1 Yorkdale Road. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) and conforms with the Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the zoning by-law's parking requirements. Parking requirements for the site are currently based on a site-specific zoning by-law which is outdated and based on a specific gross leasable floor area (GLFA) which includes below grade storage, an area which does not generate any parking demand. The revised parking rates are intended to reflect a contemporary approach to parking in a way that is flexible to ensure future needs of retail tenants can be met.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 7625, as amended, for the lands at 3401 Dufferin Street and 1 Yorkdale Road substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 3 to this report (November 13, 2020) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

NY20.2adopted
In 2011 the owner of Newtonbrook Plaza (5799 to 5915 Yonge Street) made Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to permit the redevelopment of the site to a mixed-use project. The owner appealed Council's failure to make a decision to the Ontario Municipal Board, now the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). The City and the owner settled the appeals at the City Council meeting of July 7, 2015. One of the terms of the settlement was that the owner would construct a community recreation facility, including a daycare, having an area of 3,232 square metres. Since the settlement, it has been determined that the size of the community recreation facility is not large enough to make optimal use of the City's programs and functions. City staff have had some discussion with the owner and they are amenable to entertaining an expansion of the community recreation facility subject to further increases in height and density and other permissions from the City. On October 7, 2020, North York Community Council authorized staff to enter into discussions with the owner to explore the possibility of increasing the size of the proposed community recreation facility and to report back to North York Community Council no later than December 3, 2020 with possible mechanisms of implementation. This report outlines the details of the expansion of the community recreation facility in exchange for certain permissions in height and density and attaches the proposed City-initiated Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments to implement these changes as well as a financial analysis of proposed costs to the City. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020), and also conforms to the City's Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the City-initiated application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to expand the community recreation facility and to increase the height and density of approved mixed-use buildings in Phase 2/Block 2. The expanded community recreation facility will result in an improvement to the community services for the North York City Centre, will help it develop as a complete community and it represents good planning. The increased height and density in Phase 2/Block 2 respects the existing and planned built form context in the surrounding area and meets the objective of the built form and urban design policies of the Official Plan and the North York Centre Secondary Plan.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the Official Plan Number 208, for the lands at 5799 to 5915 Yonge Street, 45 and 53 Cummer Avenue, and 46 and 47 Averill Crescent substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment attached as Attachment No. 3 to this report (November 13, 2020) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District. 2. City Council amend Zoning By-law No. 7625, as amended, for the lands at 5799 to 5915 Yonge Street, 45 and 53 Cummer Avenue, and 46 and 47 Averill Crescent substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment No. 4 to this report (November 13, 2020) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Official Plan Amendment and/or draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required. 4. Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, City Council require the Owner to enter into an amending Agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act to secure the following community benefits: a. the Owner provide for an expanded Community Recreation Facility of a minimum of 5190 square metres, finished, including a daycare of 900 square metres, and an abutting 300 square metres of outdoor play space, and subject to the following: i. design and construction shall conform with City regulations, guidelines and design criteria; ii. all materials, products, finishes, devices, signs, appliances and systems shall be designed with regard for the demands of an intensively used public building operated and maintained by the City; iii. 11 parking spaces shall be provided to the City at no cost; iv. prior to condominium registration containing the second tower of Phase 2/Block 2, the Owner will convey the Community Recreation Facility, as freehold strata title, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation; and v. the City and the Owner will enter into such reciprocal and cost agreements and provide such easements as are commercially reasonable and typical of a multiple-use, stratified, multiple-owner, integrated development block. b. City Council authorize the City of Toronto to enter into, and the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to execute on behalf of the City, a Construction Management Agreement with the Owner for the construction of the Community Recreation Facility, on terms and conditions deemed necessary and appropriate by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the City Solicitor, in accordance with City policies applicable to capital projects; c. City Council authorize the City of Toronto to enter into, and the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to execute on behalf of the City, any other ancillary agreements necessary to complete construction of the Community Recreation Facility, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the City Solicitor; d.

NY20.3adopted
This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 4 storey, 43-unit residential condominium building with 89 parking spaces on two and a half levels of a below-grade parking structure at 41 Chatsworth Drive. The 8,667 square metre building would have a height of 17.56 metres (exclusive of the mechanical penthouse) along Chatsworth Drive and a gross density of 1.96 times the lot area. The applicant has appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). The appeal was made citing Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the timeframe prescribed by the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference was held on October 6, 2020. A further Case Management Conference is scheduled for January 12, 2021. A Hearing date has not been scheduled. In its current form, the proposed development is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and does not conform with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020), the City of Toronto Official Plan and the Townhouse and Low-Rise Apartment Guidelines. This report reviews and recommends that the City Solicitor together with City Planning staff and other appropriate staff be directed to oppose the application in its current form at the LPAT. This report also recommends that despite the applicant's appeal of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application to the LPAT, City Planning staff continue to work with the applicant to address the issues raised in this report.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) to oppose the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications in their current form for reasons as set out in this report (November 16, 2020) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District, for 41 Chatsworth Drive. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to continue discussions with the applicant and to seek revisions to the applications in an attempt to resolve the issues outlined in this report (November 16, 2020) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District. 3. In the event the LPAT allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request the LPAT to withhold the issuance of any Order(s) on the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment appeal for the subject lands until such time as: a. the final form and content of the draft Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments are satisfactory to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor; b. the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal has received confirmation from the City Solicitor that: i. the Owner has at his sole expense provided a revised Functional Servicing Plan and Report and Stormwater Management Report, Hydrogeological Assessment Review, including the Foundation Drainage Report, and a Functional Road Plan and Pavement Marking and Signage Plan, all to be satisfactory to the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, and the General Manager, Toronto Water; ii. the Owner has submitted revised architectural plans and an updated shadow study reflecting the proposal, such plans and shadow study to be to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning; iii. the Owner has provided specific transportation demand management measures to meet the Toronto Green Standard v3 requirements AQ1.1, to reduce single occupancy auto vehicle trips generated by the proposed development by 15%; iv. the Owner has provided a revised Arborist Report which accurately details the proposed effect of the project on the City owned trees and accurately details present conditions and size of the subject trees, to the satisfaction of General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation; v. the Owner has provided a revised Landscaping Plan showing soil volumes, species and planting details for the proposed trees to be planted on the City owned right of way to the satisfaction of General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation; vi. the Owner has submitted an updated complete Toronto Green Standards (TGS) Checklist and Statistics Template; vii. the Owner has addressed the requirements of the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority as per their memo dated March 7, 2018; and viii. all other required plans and reports have been submitted and accepted by relevant City Divisions and external agencies to enable the City to complete the review of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications.

Final Report - Part Lot Control Exemption Application - 15 Mallow Road
This application is requesting exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act for a portion of the lands municipally known as 15 Mallow Road to facilitate the construction of 33 three-storey freehold townhouses with integral garages. An application for Draft Plan of Common Element Condominium (20 168572 NNY 16 CD) has also been submitted for approval in conjunction with this application. The common element condominium application is currently under review by the Chief Planner pursuant to the delegated approval under By-law 229-2000, which proposes to establish two private vehicular laneways and a pedestrian sidewalk. The requested Part Lot Control Exemption is required to permit the creation of the 33 conveyable townhouse lots currently under construction, which will become the Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) to the Common Element Condominium. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020), and conforms to the Official Plan. The lifting of Part Lot Control is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands. This reports reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law. Furthermore, this report recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Lands Titles Act against the subject lands, as descried in "Schedule A" in Attachment 5 of this report. This is to ensure the owner agrees to not convey or mortgage any part of the lands without prior consent of the Chief Planner or his designate.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council enact a Part Lot Control Exemption By-law with respect to the subject lands at 15 Mallow Road, as generally illustrated on Attachment 3 to this report (November 12, 2020) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District, to be prepared to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and to expire two years following enactment by City Council. 2. Prior to the introduction of the Part Lot Control Exemption Bill, City Council require the owner to: a. provide proof of payment of all current property taxes for the subject lands to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, prior to the enactment of the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law; and b. register, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act agreeing not to transfer or charge any part of the subject lands described in Schedule "A" in Attachment 5 to this report (November 12, 2020) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District, without the written consent of the Chief Planner or his/her designate. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to take the necessary steps to release the Section 118 Restriction from all or any portion of the lands in the City Solicitor's sole discretion after consulting with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning at such a time as confirmation is received that the Common Elements Condominium has been registered. 4. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title. 5. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Part Lot Control Exemption By-law as may be required.

An application to amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law Nos. 438-86 and 569-2013 has been received for the lands at 405 and 415 Mount Pleasant Road, 323, 323R and 325 Balliol Street. The application proposes a 9-storey, 32.68 metre high (36.54 metres to the mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building, which will be primarily used for seniors' care and living. The proposal consists of 8,822 square metres of gross floor area, including 325 square metres of ground floor retail/community use space, 372 square metres of office space, 68 memory care suites and 18 assisted living units. Proposed at the rear of the 9-storey mixed-use building on the 323R Balliol Street portion are three, 3-storey, 9 metre high residential townhouses. The proposed density (floor space index) is 3.85 times the area of the lot. In addition, a request has been received for permission to amend the City's Yonge- Eglinton Secondary Plan. The current Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan was approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing as Official Plan Amendment 405 ("OPA 405") on June 5, 2019. The related rezoning application was submitted on August 25, 2020 after OPA 405 came into force and effect, and it is subject to the policies of the current Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan. The subject site is located at the southeast corner of Mount Pleasant Road and Balliol Street and is a consolidation of five properties. The site is subject to two land-use designations: Mixed Use Areas "C" fronting Mount Pleasant Road and Neighbourhoods fronting Balliol Street. To facilitate the proposed redevelopment, an Official Plan Amendment to the Yonge- Eglinton Secondary Plan is required to permit vehicular access and landscaped open space accessory to the proposed seniors' care facility within the Neighbourhoods designated portion of the site. Subsection 22(2.1.1) of the Planning Act states that: "No person or public body shall request an amendment to a secondary plan before the second anniversary of the first day any part of the secondary plan comes into effect". The applicant's request to amend the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan has been submitted prior to the second anniversary of the Minister's decision approving OPA 405, and as a result is not permitted pursuant to the Planning Act.

This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services is recommending that the existing short-term parking and no parking anytime areas on the north side of Stilecroft Drive, east of Sentinel Road be amended. The amendments to the existing parking regulations on the north side of Stilecroft Drive, east of Sentinel Road, will provide additional short-term parking for 24 to 25 vehicles and address the school's concerns regarding the safety of students during drop-off and pick-up operations.

Turn Prohibitions - Avenue Road and Glencairn Avenue
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Avenue Road, City Council approval of this report is required. Transportation Services recommends the prohibition of eastbound and westbound left turn and through-traffic movements at all times at the intersection of Avenue Road and Glencairn Avenue. These prohibitions are intended to reduce the likelihood of collisions at the intersection. Transportation Services completed a safety review of the intersection of Avenue Road and Glencairn Avenue that revealed a pattern of angle collisions. The majority of these collisions involved eastbound and westbound through or left-turning motorists crossing Avenue Road during the off-peak periods. These movements are already prohibited during the peak periods. While traffic control signals are warranted based on the collision history at the intersection, the proposed prohibitions are recommended as a less restrictive measure to address these collisions. Also, the installation of signals would result in increased traffic on Glencairn Avenue, which may be concerning to Glencairn Avenue residents.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the eastbound and westbound left-turn prohibitions in effect from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, at Avenue Road and Glencairn Avenue, to be in effect at all times. 2. City Council amend the eastbound through-movement prohibition in effect from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, at Avenue Road and Glencairn Avenue, to be in effect at all times. 3. City Council amend the westbound through-movement prohibition in effect from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, at Avenue Road and Glencairn Avenue, to be in effect at all times.

Parking Amendments - Hilltop Road
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services is recommending that parking be prohibited from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Hilltop Road, between Wembley Road and Old Forest Hill Road. The proposed parking prohibition will replace the existing one-hour maximum parking regulation on this section of Hilltop Road during this time period. This change was requested by residents to improve sight lines when exiting their driveways. Parked vehicles on the west side of the street combined with the slope of the roadway obstruct visibility of southbound traffic on Hilltop Road. The proposed parking prohibition will result in a clear sight line for vehicles exiting driveways on the west side of Hilltop Road. It will also be consistent with the parking regulations on Hilltop Road, north of Old Forest Hill Road. It will result in the loss of six on-street parking spaces between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., Monday to Friday.
North York Community Council: 1. Amended the existing maximum one-hour parking regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, on the west side of Hilltop Road, between Wembley Road and Old Forest Hill Road, to be in effect from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Saturday. 2.
