Request for Interim Direction Report - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - 25 Fisherville Road
This application proposes to permit the construction of two 18-storey residential buildings at 25 Fisherville Road. The two buildings would have a total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 33 372 square metres and a total of 458 residential units, in addition to the 214 existing residential units on-site. The proposed buildings would have a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 2.21 and overall the site would have a FSI of 3.65. The proposal includes a proposed public park. The report sets out outstanding issues related to the application and makes an initial determination as to whether or not the application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). The proposal in its current form is not consistent with policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and does not conform to policies of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe as fully described in the Comments section of this report. In addition to issues related to consistency and conformity with provincial policies, a number of other issues regarding Official Plan conformity also need to be resolved, including: - demonstrating compatible infill, including appropriate level of residential amenity; adequate sunlight and landscaped open space for new and existing residents; and organization of development on site to frame streets and open space (4.2.2); - new buildings fronting onto public streets and providing pedestrian entrances from adjacent public streets (4.2.3 and Section 3); - improving the local network of new streets, including providing new streets for access and frontage for existing and future development, improving pedestrian and bicycle circulation, and safe access to parks, open spaces, transit, schools and pedestrian destinations (OP Policy 2.3.1.5.e); - enhancing community and neighbourhood amenities and encouraging and developing partnerships to better utilize common indoor and outdoor amenity areas for the use of residents in apartment properties (OP Policy 2.3.1.7.); and - addressing how larger sites which have the opportunity for more than one new building, provide a framework of additional public streets, shared driveways, new parkland and shared open space to create infill development that meets the objectives of this Plan. The application at 25 Fisherville Road is the most recent of several applications in the area seeking to intensify within tower sites in the Bathurst Fisherville area. City Planning staff have been working with the landowners to develop a block and context plan that would implement a public realm plan coordinated with parks and open spaces, any required streets, servicing, community facilities, and a comprehensive plan for the siting and built form for future redevelopment in the area. City Planning staff's opinion is that the best way to evaluate how additional density could be accommodated on these sites is through a comprehensive process. Although Staff have concerns with the application in its current form, Staff would like to continue to work with the applicant to resolve the outstanding issues for this redevelopment as part of a comprehensive framework that implements city building objectives.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct City Staff to continue to negotiate with the applicant to resolve the outstanding issues detailed in the report (February 12, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District. 2. City Council direct the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff to attend and oppose the application in its current form, should the application be appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") on the basis of Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the statutory timeframe of the Planning Act.

The report sets out outstanding issues related to the applications and provides the opinion of City Planning that the application in its current form is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), does not conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017), and does not conform with the Official Plan. The Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes a 39-storey residential rental building containing 364 units and a four-storey underground garage containing 329 parking spaces, at 2600 Don Mills Road. The existing 19-storey rental apartment building containing 149 units, located on the site, would be retained. Vehicular access to the proposed residential tower would be via a new east-west public street from Don Mills Road. The proposed new public street and a 1,345 m2 public park are proposed at the southern property limit of the site. The Official Plan Amendment is required in order to identify the site as a Key Development Area within the Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan and to permit the proposed density of approximately 3.84 FSI on lands where a density has not been prescribed by the Plan. This report recommends that the City Solicitor attend the LPAT hearing to oppose the application in its current form.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and other appropriate staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment Application in its current form. 2. City Council direct the City Solicitor to oppose any appeal of the Official Plan Amendment application in its current form, if one is made based on City Council's failure to make a decision within the statutory timeframe set out in the Planning Act taking a position consistent with the planning analysis set out in the report (February 6, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District, and any further direction from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning. 3. City Council direct City Planning Staff to continue to work with the applicant to resolve the issues detailed in the report (February 6, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District. 4. City Council require the owner to satisfy the on-site parkland dedication requirement through an on-site dedication of 640 square metres, with a cash-in-lieu dedication as per Section 415-26C of the Toronto Municipal Code for any on-site parkland dedication shortfall. 5. Should the owner agree to design and construct the Above Base Park Improvements to the new park, City Council approve a development charge credit against the Parks and Recreation component of the Development Charges to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry, and Recreation; the development charge credit shall be in an amount that is the lesser of the cost to the Owner of the Above Base Park Improvements, as approved by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and the Parks and Recreation component of development charges payable for the development in accordance with the City's Development Charges By-law, as may be amended from time to time.

Bathurst Manor Traffic Management Plan
The Bathurst Manor Neighbourhood is bounded by Sheppard Avenue West to the south, West Don Parkland to the east, Finch Avenue West to the north and Dufferin Street to the west. This area is comprised of a network of arterial, collector and local streets. The land use is mainly residential with parks and schools. Additionally, parts of the study area include commercial uses that front on the arterial roadways. In the past 5 years the Bathurst Manor neighbourhood has experienced a tremendous amount of cut-through traffic due to increased congestion on the main streets as well as the popularity of GPS Navigation Apps. The main concerns raised by neighbourhood residents include: sheer traffic volumes, excessive speeding, and pedestrian safety. The neighbourhood has asked me to move forward with a Plan that would allow members of the community to work together with Transportation Services as well as my office to come up with solutions to the longstanding concerns, comprehensively. Neighbourhood residents are looking to review all-way stop locations, speed humps locations, flashing beacons, signage, turn restrictions and any other solutions that may help with addressing traffic flows, speeding and pedestrian safety in the Bathurst Manor neighbourhood. Since this will be a lengthy process, residents are looking for a phased approach to the Plan, where when certain aspects of the Plan are agreed upon, the findings will be reported to North York Community Council/Council for approval.
North York Community Council: 1. Directed Transportation Services Staff, North York District, to work with the community to evaluate their traffic concerns and develop a Traffic Management Plan.
