NY30.4deferred
On December 14, 2018, applications to amend the Official Plan and former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 were submitted to permit a 10-storey, 32 metre residential building at 1304, 1306 and 1308 Wilson Avenue. In support of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications, the applicant also submitted an application for Site Plan Approval on June 29, 2020. The proposal would provide 90 rental residential units including five two-storey townhouse style units at grade along Wilson Avenue. Amenity space is proposed at the rear and on the tenth storey rooftop of the building. A driveway at the west side of the building would lead to a 2-level below grade parking garage providing 71 vehicular and 72 bicycle parking spaces. Since the application submission, the proposal has been considered alongside the adjacent property at 1326 and 1328 Wilson Avenue, for which an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application has also been made for a proposed 9-storey, mixed-use building with 73 residential units and retail and medical office uses (File # 16 123717 NNY 09 OZ). On June 14, 2021, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications and the Site Plan Control application to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal (LPAT), now called the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT"), citing Council's failure to make a decision within prescribed time frames in the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference has not yet been rescheduled. As detailed in this report, the proposed development is overall 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 proposal does not conform to the Official Plan, in particular to the policies for Avenues, Apartment Neighbourhoods, Natural Areas, Public Realm and Built Form and does not meet the intent of the performance standards of the Avenues & Mid-Rise Buildings Guidelines and Addendum. This report reviews and recommends that City Council instruct the City Solicitor with the appropriate City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) hearing to oppose the applications in their current form and to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve outstanding issues raised in this report.

Arguson Projects Inc. is developing an 8-storey mixed-use development at 1924 to 1928 Eglinton Avenue West. The site is located on the northeast corner of Eglinton Avenue West and Fairbank Avenue.

North York Community Council, at its meeting on November 4, 2020, approved the subject construction staging area on Fairbank Avenue from November 5, 2020 to December 31, 2021. The developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Fairbank Avenue, as the site has experienced a number of construction delays due to material/COVID-19 related delays, construction challenges and poor weather. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area on Fairbank Avenue for an additional six months, from February 24, 2022 to July 31, 2022, to allow for the construction of the development to be completed.

Community Standards for the Committee of Adjustment in Bayview Village
Over the past decade, the Bayview Village community has seen a significant increase in applications to the Committee of Adjustment. Increasingly, these applications and City Planning's own responses to them have pushed the established precedents for height, permeable surface, and setbacks from sensitive ravines further afield of our zoning bylaw. As the community deals with mounting ravine erosion issues, it's paramount that action be taken to establish guardrails on the types of applications we're facing in the community. Therefore, I am requesting that North York Community Planning convene community stakeholders, including the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, to establish community standards to guide City Planning in their response to future applications in the neighbourhood in order to address ravine erosion and escalating variance precedents.

Zoning By-law Amendments to Protect Allen Greenway
The Allen Greenway is a 3 km long linear open space and park system on both sides of Allen Road between Highway 401 and Eglinton Avenue West (see: Allen-Greenway-Guidebook_C.-Bucksbaum_Summer-2020_pages-compressed.pdf ( ecologicaldesignlab.ca ) ). The north section is secured by the Lawrence Allen Secondary Plan (see: https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/907d-cp-official-plan-SP-32-LawrenceAllen.pdf ). The Allen Greenway forms the central section of the 25 km long Northwest Cultural Trail (see: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2021/aa/bgrd/backgroundfile-169568.pdf ). The Allen Greenway connects with the 9 km long east west York Beltline Park/Kay Gardner Beltline Park. The Allen Greenway is an active transportation route and cultural corridor extending through the Lawrence Heights, Marlee Ville and Little Jamaica communities. These communities are deficient in parkland and are subject to many development applications. There are Transportation Services owned and maintained lands which form part of the open space system. Some of these lands are zoned O (Open Space) but some lands are zoned for uses which do not protect for the open space system. In order to protect these City owned lands from being sold off, these properties need to be zoned as O (Open Space).
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the Director of Community Planning, North York District to initiate and complete by the end of 2023, a Zoning by-law amendment for the following properties in order to protect the Allen Greenway: a. East side of Allen Road: 1. City-owned lands being used as a public north south walkway between Allen Road and the west side of 12 Flemington Road, Unison Health & Community Services (to O zone); 2. City-owned lands being used as a public north south walkway between Lawrence Avenue West and Dell Park Avenue (to O zone); 3.
