The full agenda, as filed
All 22 items in the clerk’s order. Each carries the city’s own words: the staff recommendation, what the body decided, and its status. Nothing below is written by us.
NY9.1amended
These applications propose an 8-storey mixed-use residential and commercial development at 2270-2280, 2296 Eglinton Avenue West, 6 Sanderstead Avenue and 9 Croham Road consisting of 141 residential units in 10,001 square metres of residential use and 822 square metres of commercial use at grade for a total of 10,823 square metres of gross floor area. The proposed density (Floor Space Index - FSI) is 4.08 times the area of the lot and the proposed height is 29 metres including the mechanical equipment. Two levels of below grade parking would accommodate 86 vehicular spaces along with 149 bicycle parking spaces. The subject property presently consists of an irregular front lot line along Eglinton Avenue West. A 40.8 square metres portion of the lands will be required to be conveyed to the City of Toronto for road widening proposes. The design of the proposed building will also require the applicant to purchase a 33.4 square metre portion of the Eglinton Avenue West road allowance from the City of Toronto. A stub portion of roadway that exists in front of the proposed development that presently permits a westbound right turn from Eglinton Avenue West onto northbound Croham Road is also proposed to be closed but will remain in City of Toronto ownership. The former roadway and boulevard is proposed to be improved and utilized as a public plaza with pedestrian amenities. This public plaza would be located just east of the public access to the Caledonia LRT/GO Transit Station at 2400 Eglinton Avenue West which is currently under construction. To the north of the subject property a rear two-way publicly accessible private laneway would provide access to 2 at-grade visitor parking spaces, as well as to enclosed ground floor bicycle parking and a shared commercial and residential loading area. The lane would also provide access to the below grade parking levels. The proposed laneway would occupy the 2 lots known as 9 Croham Road and 6 Sanderstead Avenue, and the two existing residential dwellings would be demolished. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-laws. The proposal represents an appropriate built form for a mixed use building and provides for an appropriate transition from Mixed Use Areas to Neighbourhoods. The proposal implements the setback and streetscape requirements of the Eglinton Crosstown Plan.

Final Report - Rental Housing Demolition Applications - 110, 114 and 120 Broadway Avenue
This Rental Housing Demolition application at 110-120 Broadway Avenue seeks approval to demolish three existing residential rental apartment buildings. Together, the three existing buildings contain a total of 121 rental dwelling units. All 121 units would be replaced within a purpose-built rental building at 100 Broadway Avenue. The replacement rental units will have similar unit sizes and rents. The unit mix for the replacement rental units would be an improvement on the existing rental units at 110-120 Broadway Avenue with all of the one-bedroom units being replaced as two-bedroom units and all but two of the two-bedroom units replaced with three-bedroom units. A Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan will appropriately address the impacts on tenants. The rental building at 100 Broadway Avenue will contain 413 rental units. In addition to the 121 replacement rental units to replace the existing rental units at 110-120 Broadway Avenue, the rental building will also be the recipient site for 203 other replacement rental units associated with three nearby rental housing demolition applications at 100 Broadway Avenue and 223-233 Redpath Avenue, 117-127 Broadway Avenue, and 174-180 Broadway Avenue for a total of 324 replacement rental units. The remaining 89 rental units would be comprised of 50 new affordable rental units secured as part of the Section 37 contribution for the 110-120 Broadway Avenue development application and 39 market-rate rental units with unrestricted rents. The lands at 110-120 Broadway Avenue are also subject to an application under the Planning Act for an amendment to the Zoning By-law, Application No. 17 218847 NNY 25 OZ, which was the subject of a settlement hearing at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) (Case No. PL180033) on July 29, 2019. The LPAT issued a decision on August 9, 2019, approving the Zoning By-law Amendment in principle, with the final Tribunal Order being withheld until all outstanding matters, including the necessary agreements with the City, are secured. City Council endorsed the settlement for the Zoning By-law Amendment application subject to conditions, including a rental replacement requirement. City Council also withheld its decision on the related Rental Housing Demolition application until a Decision was issued by the LPAT on the related Zoning By-law Amendment application. This report also recommends approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions. This report also recommends entering into Section 37 and Section 111 agreements for the site.

Final Report - Plan of Subdivision Application - 104-110 Bartley Drive
This application proposes to subdivide the subject lands into three blocks to permit an 84-unit townhouse development at 104-110 Bartley Drive. The proposal includes a new public street and a 999 square metre public park which would be adjacent to and expand upon an existing public park (Bartley Park). The proposed public street would link Bartley Drive from the south, with a yet to be constructed public street that was approved in January 2017 running west from Tisdale Avenue within the abutting development proposal. This report advises that the Chief Planner intends to approve the draft plan of subdivision and provides information on proposed changes to the related draft Zoning By-law approved by City Council on July 23, 2018, in which the bills were withheld pending draft plan of subdivision approval. The proposal to subdivide the lands facilitates the previously approved townhouse development and draft Zoning By-law amendment and complies with the Official Plan. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), in conformity with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019), and has regard for the criteria set out in Section 51(24) of the Planning Act with regards to the subdivision of lands.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1.

City Council amend Zoning By-laws 569-2013 substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 9 to the report (September 23, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District. 3.

Request for Direction Report - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - 2706 Bayview Avenue
This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-laws for the lands at 2706 Bayview Avenue to permit the relocation of the existing detached dwelling on the lot and to permit the construction of three 3 storey (11.4m high) townhouse units fronting Bayview Avenue. The proposed development would be accessed via a shared private driveway from Bayview Avenue providing access to rear integral garages of the townhouse units and an at grade integral garage for the relocated detached dwelling. The applicant has appealed their application for Zoning By-law Amendment to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) due to Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time prescribed by the Planning Act (LPAT Case No.PL 171398). A prehearing conference was held on June 12, 2018. A second prehearing conference was held on May 15, 2019. A third prehearing conference is scheduled for October 15, 2019. A full hearing is not yet scheduled. The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction for the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to attend the LPAT hearing to oppose the application in its current form, as staff have concerns with the development application with respect to the site organization and the location and configuration of the proposed driveway access. The proposal in its current form does not conform with the Official Plan policies with regards to Neighbourhoods infill criteria and does not appropriately address the Bayview Townhouse Design Guidelines. This report also recommends that the City Solicitor and appropriate staff be directed to continue discussions with the applicant in an effort to address the outstanding issues outlined in this report.

Leaside Traffic Management Plan and Speed Limit Reduction
The Leaside neighbourhood refers to the area bounded as follows: in the north, by Glenvale Boulevard/Killdeer Crescent/Rykert Crescent, between Bayview Avenue and Eglinton Avenue East. In the east, by Eglinton Avenue East, between the West Don River and Laird Drive and by Laird Drive, between Eglinton Avenue East and the CPR line. In the south, by the CPR line, between Laird Drive and Bayview Avenue and by Bayview Avenue, between the CPR line and Bayview Heights Drive. In the west, by Bayview Avenue, between Bayview Heights Drive and Glenvale Boulevard. This neighbourhood is primarily comprised of local and collector roads, and several of its boundaries are major arterial roads. The land use is mainly residential, with several parks and more than five schools. Partially due to the growing popularity of GPS Navigation Applications like Waze, this neighbourhood has experienced a significant increase in cut-through traffic, with drivers often operating at very high speeds. The neighbourhood's primary concerns are cut-through traffic, speed, volume, infiltration, lack of compliance with posted signage, and congestion. I have consulted with the Leaside Property Owners' Association who have asked me to move forward with a Traffic Management Plan that will allow Transportation staff to identify long-term, comprehensive solutions to these issues in consultation with the community. Within the Traffic Management Plan, staff should consider both traffic control and traffic calming measures including all-way stop locations, turn restrictions, speed humps, and other options that will address vehicle speed, volume, congestion, and traffic infiltration issues. To consult the community, staff should attend public meetings coordinated through the Councillor's office and local residents' association. When a Traffic Management Plan has been agreed upon, the findings will be reported to North York Community Council for approval. At the time of writing, more than 1,500 Leaside residents have also signed a petition calling for a speed limit reduction throughout their neighbourhood. As you know, speed limit reductions are one of our most effective tools to improve road safety. All of our data suggests that excessive speeds are a leading contributing factor in serious injuries and fatalities on our roads. A collision at 60 km/h has a 95% likelihood of death compared to one at 40 km/h with a 30% likelihood of death. At 30 km/h, that likelihood is all but eliminated. In August 2014, former Councillor Parker moved a motion (NY34.103) directing Transportation staff to report back on the feasibility of implementing a 30km/h speed limit throughout Leaside. Staff have confirmed that no follow up report was ever issued. There is TTC service on several streets in the neighbourhood.
North York Community Council: 1. Directed Transportation Services to work with the Leaside community to evaluate their traffic concerns and develop a Traffic Management Plan. 2. Reduced the speed limit to 30 km/h on the streets or segments of streets identified in Attachment 1 to the memo (September 24, 2019) from Councillor Jaye Robinson.

Request to Rename Woodsy Park to Ethennonnhawahstihnen' (Etta-nonna wasti-nuh) Park
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision, provided that it is not amended to be inconsistent with the City of Toronto Property Naming Policy. On July 16, 2019, City Council passed a motion to direct the General Manager of Parks Forestry and Recreation, in consultation with the Manager, Indigenous Affairs Office, to investigate the feasibility of renaming Woodsy Park located at 80 McMahon Drive to Ethennonnhawahstihnen' (Etta-nonna wasti-nuh) Park and report back to the North York Community Council with a recommendation based on the criteria and process outlined in the Property Naming Policy. City Council also waived Section 3.3.5 of the Property Policy which says City properties that have been named or renamed in the previous ten years will not be renamed. In 2016, City Council named the new park, Woodsy Park. Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world and is home to approximately 100,000 First Nations, Metis and Inuit, making it one of the largest Indigenous urban populations in Canada. The traditional keepers of the land, the Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Anishinaabe can trace their roots back thousands of years in Toronto and region. Thoughtfully considering Indigenous naming is a part of the City of Toronto's broader efforts in Indigenous place-making and truth and reconciliation. The Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division has reviewed the Council approved City of Toronto Property Naming Policy and found that this naming proposal meets the policy criteria and process. The Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division is recommending that Woodsy Park located at 80 McMahon Drive be renamed to Ethennonnhawahstihnen' (Etta-nonna wasti-nuh) Park.
North York Community Council: 1. Renamed Woodsy Park, located at 80 McMahon Drive, to "Ethennonnhawahstihnen' (Etta-nonna wasti-nuh) Park".

At its meeting of July 16, 2019, City Council adopted Item MM9.34 directing the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, in consultation the Manager, Indigenous Affairs Office, to investigate the feasibility of renaming Woodsy Park Lane to Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Lane and report back to the North York Community Council with a recommendation based on the criteria and process outlined in the Street Naming Policy. The proposed name "Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Lane" complies with the Policy, however, renaming of streets is addressed in section 3.4 of the Street Naming Policy which states: "3.4 Streets that have been named, renamed, or assigned a ceremonial name within the previous ten years will not be renamed." Because the original naming of this street occurred in 2014, a renaming at this time is not in compliance with the Street Naming Policy. Therefore, this report recommends that the renaming be rejected. Community Councils have delegated authority to decide street naming matters which comply with the Street Naming Policy. As this renaming is not in compliance with the Street Naming Policy, North York Community Council does not have delegated authority to approve a renaming within the previous 10 years. Any renaming of this street at this time would require the consideration and approval of City Council.
North York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council grant an exemption to its Street Naming Policy and approve the renaming of "Woodsy Park Lane" to "Ethennonnhawahstihnen' Lane".

The purpose of this motion is to request a reopening of item NY4.22 to extend the previous maximum 12-hour on-street parking measure, approved for the Stanley Greene Neighbourhood by the North York Community Council on July 23rd 2018 and later extended on March 19th, 2019. http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2019.NY4.22 This temporary maximum 12 - hour parking measure is set to expire on October 25th, 2019. The purpose of this arrangement was to provide residents with temporary overnight parking accommodation while proper consultation and polling around the Stanley Greene Community took place. The consultation and polling efforts aim to eventually include the neighbourhood in the City of Toronto's overnight permit parking program. Because of outdated Municipal Property Assessment Corporation records, and technical difficulties at the E-Polling division, the collection and revision of polling results will not be completed before the current temporary measure expires. In an attempt to provide an effortless transition between the current overnight 12 hour on-street parking measure and the implementation of a possible Permanent Permit Parking program, I have decided to extend the current parking measure to allow enough time for polling results to be collected and reviewed before any parking changes occur within the Stanley Greene Community. This has been discussed with Transportation Services and they are supportive of the extension.
North York Community Council: 1. Deleted Part 1 of the North York Community Council Decision on Item NY4.22 and adopted the following instead: "1. Authorize parking for a maximum period of 12 hours from 8:00 p.m. of one day to 8:00 a.m. of the next following day from Monday, April 22, 2019 to and including Tuesday, December 31, 2019 on the following streets or portions of streets: a.
