The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017), and is in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan, including the Neighbourhoods policies. The proposal represents a suitable and moderate intensification of the site which is on Marlee Avenue and considered a major street, and presents a built form that is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood context. This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law.

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law at 110 and 112 Sheppard Avenue West to permit a mixed use building with a height of 24 metres and 7-storeys, containing 30 residential units and 53 square metres of commercial gross floor area. The application proposes a gross floor area of 2,981 square metres resulting in a Floor Space Index of 2.73 times the lot area. Vehicular access to the subject site is proposed along the western limit of the site. A total of 29 parking spaces are proposed within a two-level underground garage and 24 bicycle parking spaces are proposed. The Official Plan Amendment proposes to amend the in-force Sheppard Avenue Commercial Area Secondary Plan (SACASP) to permit a density of 2.73 times the lot area and a height of 7-storeys. The Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to amend the former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 and will bring the site into the City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to permit the proposed mixed use development and establish appropriate performance standards. The recommended Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), conform to and do not conflict with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017), and are consistent with the general intent and purpose of the City's Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-laws. Staff are recommending City Council approve a maximum gross floor area of 2,731 square metres resulting in a Floor Space Index of 2.5 times the lot area. The proposed development, with staff's recommended maximum density, is in keeping with the objectives of the Council-adopted Sheppard Lansing Secondary Plan to create a mixed use avenue with a vibrant and attractive streetscape with greening and pedestrian amenity while protecting the abutting lower density residential uses. The draft zoning by-laws recommend the lands be zoned with a holding provision ("H") until such time as a Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report is deemed acceptable by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1.

This report recommends approval of a City initiated Official Plan Amendment to reduce the planned right-of-way width for Gordon Baker Road from "45 metres and over" to 27 metres between Harold Evans Crescent and the North York Hydro Corridor on Map 3, Right-of-Way Widths Associated with Existing Major Streets. The City initiated Official Plan Amendment is to reflect the right-of-way width needed to be consistent with the right-of-way width requirement shown on Map 3 for Gordon Baker Road North of Harold Evans Crescent, which has been determined by staff to be sufficient to meet the City's needs in the area and minimize property impacts on the abutting land owners along Gordon Baker Road which would result from taking the "45 metres and over" planned right-of-way width on Map 3 of the Official Plan. The Official Plan Amendment would also facilitate the application at 101 Gordon Baker Road (App No. 17 226908 NNY 17 OZ) that proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the construction of six self-storage buildings.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1.

This report summarizes the findings of the Lawrence Avenue West Block Study and recommends approval of a Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) as an amendment to the Official Plan for the lands fronting the south side of Lawrence Avenue West between Shermount Avenue and Englemount Avenue (excluding the properties known municipally as 567, 575 and 577 Lawrence Avenue West). The SASP implements the findings of the Lawrence Avenue West Block Study. The SASP seeks to: - Provide a variety of housing typologies within the Study Area without amendment to the Official Plan, including semi-detached houses, duplexes, triplexes and various forms of townhouses, as well as apartments that are no higher than four storeys; - Guide and manage moderate, incremental development within the study area; - Encourage a sense of place, by promoting well-designed built form; - Respect and reinforce the existing Neighbourhoods area to the south of the Study Area; - Achieve appropriate transition between new development and the adjacent Neighbourhoods area to the south; and - Promote a vibrant, animated and safe public realm along Lawrence Avenue West and into the Neighbourhoods area to the south. The proposed SASP is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). This report reviews and recommends approval of the City-Initiated application to amend the Official Plan. The proposed SASP conforms to the Townhouse and Low-Rise Apartment Guidelines (2018), the proposed housing typologies are currently permitted by the in-force Official Plan designation of Neighbourhoods and the proposed built form is compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the Official Plan, for the lands generally fronting Lawrence Avenue West between Shermount Avenue and Englemount Avenue (excluding the properties known municipally as 567, 575 and 577 Lawrence Avenue West) substantially in accordance with the Official Plan Amendment 433 appended as Attachment No. 10 to the report (May 3, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District. 2.

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law at 579, 581, 583 and 585 Lawrence Avenue West to permit the construction of 12 four-storey, freehold townhouses (excluding staircase access to roof top terrace) in 2 blocks fronting Lawrence Avenue West. The total gross floor area of the proposal is 2,885 square metres which results in a density of 1.62 times the lot area. The proposed height of the buildings is 16.06 metres for Block 1 at the eastern end and 15.78 metres for Block 2 at the western end. Each unit would be provided with one integral parking space at grade in the rear of the unit and two visitor parking spaces would be provided on site to serve all 12 residential units. Vehicular access is proposed from Lawrence Avenue West with a two-way access driveway. The applicant has appealed the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), citing Council's lack of decision on the applications within the time frame specified in the Planning Act. A Pre-Hearing Conference was held on November 29, 2018. A second Pre-Hearing Conference will be held on May 9, 2019. A Hearing has been scheduled for five (5) days commencing on November 18, 2019. As a consequence of these application submissions and several inquiries regarding intensification on other properties along this stretch of Lawrence Avenue West, the City Planning Division has undertaken a Block Study for a total of 38 lots along the south side of Lawrence Avenue West between Shermount Avenue and Glenmount Avenue, including the subject lands, to determine an appropriate development framework for the properties within the Study Area. The study has informed the current applications and will inform other applications that City Planning staff anticipates will follow. The City Planning Division has completed the Lawrence Avenue West Block Study and prepared a report and draft Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 433 and Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) 559 which will be considered at the May 22, 2019 meeting of North York Community Council. The proposed development has been reviewed against draft Block Study OPA and SASP and it has been determined that the proposal deviates in some ways from the proposed Block Study Official Plan Amendment and Site and Area Specific Policy recommendations. This report recommends that the City Solicitor, together with City Planning and other appropriate staff, attend the LPAT hearing in opposition to the site-specific Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications in their current form. An application for Rental Housing Demolition under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code has also been submitted to permit the demolition of 5 existing rental units at 579 - 585 Lawrence Avenue West. Staff recommend that Council withhold from making a decision on this application, as the proposed development in its current form is not supported by Planning staff. Council's decision under this statue is not appealable to the LPAT. Should the LPAT approve the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment appeals in whole or in part, the Chief Planner would have the delegated authority under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code to approve the Rental Housing Demolition permit application and impose conditions.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and any other City staff as appropriate, to appear before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) hearing to oppose the appeal respecting the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application in its current form for the lands at 579-585 Lawrence Avenue West. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to continue discussions with the applicant and seek revisions to the application in an attempt to resolve issues outlined in the report (May 2, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District regarding 579-585 Lawrence Avenue West, to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and report back to City Council on the outcome of discussions, if necessary. 3. City Council withhold from making a decision on the required associated Rental Housing Demolition application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code to demolish 5 existing residential rental dwelling units at 579-585 Lawrence Avenue West. 4. In the event that the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (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 Orders on the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment appeal for the subject lands until such time as: a. the Owner has provided a satisfactory Functional Servicing Report and Stormwater Management Report to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; b. the Owner has provided a satisfactory Arborist Report and Revised Landscape Plan to the satisfaction of the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation; c. the Chief Planner, under delegated authority, has dealt with the required associated Rental Housing Demolition application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal code to demolish 5 existing rental dwelling units at 579-585 Lawrence Avenue West; and d. the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) has been advised by the City Solicitor that the final form and content of the draft Official Plan Amendment and by-laws are satisfactory to the City Solicitor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning in consultation with the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services.

This application by QuadReal Properties Group, on behalf of the owner bcIMC Realty Corporation, proposes to amend the Official Plan, Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan, and the Zoning By-law to increase the permitted height and density at 2901 Bayview Avenue and 630 Sheppard Avenue East. The proposed amendments seek to permit the redevelopment of the site with three mixed-use buildings (6 - 19 storeys) and a retail expansion to the existing shopping centre in the north area of the site, two mixed-use buildings (28 and 33 storeys) connected by an six storey podium in the south area of the site, and a five level parking garage internal to the site. A total of 1,036 dwelling units are proposed as part of the full build out of the site. An amendment to the Official Plan is required to amend the Sheppard East Subway Corridor Secondary Plan to permit the proposed tall building height along the north portion of the site and the proposed density of 1.71 across the whole of the subject lands. An amendment to the former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 and the City-Wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 is required to permit the proposed location and amount of residential apartment units, height and density on the lands, and to create appropriate development standards to facilitate the proposed development. Both the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment applications have been appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) on the basis that the City failed to make a decision within the prescribed time period set out in the Planning Act. This report recommends that the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff, and other appropriate City staff, attend the LPAT hearing in opposition to the current proposal. It is also recommended that staff continue to work with the applicant in an attempt to resolve the outstanding issues with the application. The LPAT held a pre-hearing on October 17, 2018.
