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.

1 Heathcote Avenue - Part-Lot Control Exemption Application- Final Report
This application is requesting exemption from the Part-Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act for the lands municipally known as 1 Heathcote Avenue. The exemption request is to facilitate the creation and conveyance of six lots for a three-storey townhouse block development. An application for Draft Plan of Common Element Condominium (21 231948 NNY 15) 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 delegated approval under By-law 229-2000, which proposes to establish a private vehicular rear driveway accessed from Heathcote Avenue. The requested Part-Lot Control Exemption is required to permit the creation of the 6 conveyable lots for the townhouses, which will become Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) to the Common Element Condominium. The Common Element Condominium Corporation will be established to ensure vehicular access and maintenance of the shared private driveway comprising the common elements portion of the Plan of Condominium (the "Condominium Driveway"). 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 report reviews and recommends approval of the Part-Lot Control Exemption By-law that would be in effect for a maximum of two years. 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. This is to ensure that no part of the lands can be conveyed or mortgaged 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 1 Heathcote Avenue, substantially in accordance with the Draft Part-Lot Control Exemption By-law attached as Attachment 2, and as generally illustrated on the Part-Lot Control Exemption Plan on Attachment 3, to the report (April 28, 2022) from the 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 for enactment, 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; 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" to this report, 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 to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director. 4. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part-Lot Control Exemption By-law on title to the lands or any portion thereof against which the Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act has been registered. 5.

This staff report is about speed limit reductions for which Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws. The Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy focuses on how higher speeds contribute to higher risk of serious injuries and fatalities, and that setting lower speed limits is a key tool for reducing operating speeds on Toronto's roadways. The Vision Zero Speed Management Strategy includes a program for reducing speed limits on local roads, as defined in the City's Road Classification System and public lanes or public alleys, to 30 km/h on a neighbourhood basis. With this approach the City is no longer required to sign every individual street within that designated area but only the entry and exit points to/from the designated area where speed limits change and any internal roads with a different speed limit. The purpose of this report is to recommend area-based speed limit reductions to 30 km/h on public lanes or public alleys and local roads in North York Community Council area as part of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan Speed Management Strategy.
