Sheppard Avenue East Review - Next Steps
City Council directed City Planning on June 26, 2018 (NY31.8), in consultation with the appropriate City Divisions, to review the existing policies contained within the Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan between Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street to analyze the existing and planned built form context. City Planning initiated the review on existing and planned land use, City infrastructure, such as community services, sewer capacity, and parkland. That review has prompted staff to determine that a more fulsome Study of the corridor (Bayview Avenue to Leslie Street) is necessary, that will expand upon clarifying, refining and/or strengthening the density and height limitations. The expanded review will now look at the area as a whole in order to provide recommendations to inform planning policy that would establish a planning and infrastructure framework to accommodate prescribed population and job growth around the Subway stations, address transportation and servicing capacity issues and create a plan for a complete, mixed use and vibrant community.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council acknowledge that City Planning has undertaken and completed the review as directed by City Council on June 26, 2018 through Item NY31.8. 2. City Council direct City Planning to add this item to City Planning's workplan and work together with other Divisional staff as appropriate, to build upon the completed review and undertake a Study to analyze a streets and blocks network, parks and open spaces, an enhanced public realm, heritage, built form, multi-modal transportation options, adequate servicing infrastructure, and compatible land uses. 3. City Council direct City Planning to report back to City Council on the outcome of the study, including any recommended policies identified through the study process. 4. City Council direct City Planning and Economic Development and Culture to assess opportunities to enhance local economic development, the formation of a local business organization. 5. City Council direct City Planning to commence community consultation on the study by the second quarter of 2022.
