SC15.1adopted
This report recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application to demolish a two-and-a-half storey rental apartment building comprised of eight rental dwelling units at 3291 Kingston Road. The units will be replaced with eight new rental dwelling units as part of the approved redevelopment of the site consisting of a 12-storey residential building with 357 dwelling units in addition to the replacement units. Two of the eight rental units at 3291 Kingston Road were previously demolished without permits and are recommended to be included in the Rental Housing Demolition permit and replaced as part of the application. The proposal also includes the provision of a Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan for all eligible tenants of the existing rental dwelling units, including the right to return to a replacement rental dwelling unit. The proposal also includes the demolition of two owner-occupied, single-detached houses at 2 and 4 Windy Ridge Drive. The properties are also the subject of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application (20 209863 ESC 20 OZ) which was appealed by the owner to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) in August 2022 due to a lack of decision from City Council. The Ontario Land Tribunal issued a written decision on November 10, 2023, approving the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment in principle, with the final order being withheld until all outstanding matters, including the necessary agreements with the City, are secured, including considerations related to rental housing matters.

SC15.2amended
This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a residential infill development at 27 and 29 Parkcrest Drive. The proposed development consist of five blocks of stacked, back-to-back townhouse units. The proposed townhouse blocks are oriented along a shared private driveway from Parkcrest Drive and a central linear outdoor amenity space.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). As noted above it conforms with the Official Plan and provides an additional housing opportunity that fits within the existing and planned context. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law required to facilitate this development.
The Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended, for the lands at 27 and 29 Parkcrest Drive substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (May 27, 2024) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District, as amended by the following: a.

St. Clair Avenue East - Road Alteration
As Toronto Transit Commission operates bus service on St. Clair Avenue East, City Council approval of this report is required. Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission, to alter St. Clair Avenue East between Midland Avenue and Linden Avenue to provide a westbound and eastbound queue jump lane for Toronto Transit Commission buses. The queue jump lanes would allow Toronto Transit Commission buses to improve service reliability and travel times on St. Clair Avenue East by bypassing general traffic in the area. This would benefit approximately 630 daily bus-trips (in both directions) and improve the journey times for 44,000 daily customers. This proposal is supported by the City and Toronto Transit Commission's established criteria for queue-jump lane warrants. The eastbound and westbound queue-jump lanes on St. Clair Avenue East would be accommodated by implementing pavement marking adjustments and by converting a hatched area adjacent to the curb lane and adjusting adjacent travel lanes. No road or roadway widening is required. As per the City standard, the queue-jump lane would be identified by a red paint application. These modifications would not result in the loss of any travel lanes for general traffic. All current lanes would remain, including existing dedicated left-turn lanes at Linden Avenue and Midland Avenue.
The Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council designate the northerly westbound lane on St. Clair Avenue East between Midland Avenue and a point 30.5 metres east of Linden Avenue as a reserved lane for public transit vehicles and bicycles at all times. 2. City Council designate the southerly eastbound lane on St. Clair Avenue East between Linden Avenue and a point 30.5 metres west of Midland Avenue as a reserved lane for public transit vehicles and bicycles at all times. 3.

City Council designate the southerly eastbound lane on St. Clair Avenue East between Linden Avenue and a point 30.5 metres west, for eastbound right turns only at all times, buses and bicycles excepted. 5. City Council amend the existing no stopping prohibition in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday, except public holidays on the north side of St. Clair Avenue East between Kingston Road and Santamonica Boulevard, to be in effect between Santamonica Boulevard and a point 30.5 metres east of Linden Avenue. 6.
