Final Report - 2180 Lawrence Avenue East - Zoning Amendment
This application proposes to amend current site specific zoning by-law provisions for the property at 2180 Lawrence Avenue East (see Attachment 1: Location Map) to increase the number of permitted dwelling units from 286 dwelling units, as previously approved by Council at its meeting on July 27, 2018, to 429 units, together with related adjustments to certain development standards. The 21-storey apartment building on Lawrence Avenue East ("Building A") and 7-storey apartment building on Birchmount Road ("Building B") previously approved in 2018 would be retained with generally consistent building forms, gross floor area, heights and massing. The previous number of stacked townhouse units in three blocks interior to the site would now be reduced to two blocks only. Overall proposed gross floor area remains largely unchanged, with the increased number of dwelling unit achieved through an approximate one-third reduction in average unit sizes, and altering the overall mix of units previously proposed including the introduction of 25% of the (non-townhouse) units as new 'studio' (i.e. 'bachelor') apartments. Previously approved retail commercial floor space would also now be utilized for residential purposes only. 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). Staff have considered the application within the context of applicable Official Plan policies and the City's Tall Building Guidelines, as well as the Avenue and Mid-rise Building Guidelines. The proposal responds to the distinct characteristics of the site, deploying the proposed density in appropriate building types that are compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
Scarborough Community Council withdrew the Item.

Prior to issuance of an above grade building permit, other than a building permit for a temporary sales office, the owner shall pay to the City a cash payment of seven hundred thousand dollars ($700,000.00) to be allocated towards the provision of new affordable housing and/or the Toronto Community Housing Corporation revolving capital fund for repairs to Toronto Community Housing Corporation housing in the local Ward, at the discretion of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning in consultation with the local Ward Councillor; b. The financial contribution identified in subsection a. above shall be indexed upwardly from the date of execution of the Section 37 Agreement to the date the payment is made in accordance with the residential Construction Price Index for the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area, reported quarterly by Statistics Canada in Building Construction Price Indexes Table: 18- 10-0135-01, or its successor; c.

Final Report - 1744 to 1750 Ellesmere Road - Class 4 Noise Area Classification (NPC-300)
This report provides information on a development at 1744 to 1750 Ellesmere Road for a 15-storey residential building containing 242 affordable rental housing units, and recommends that City Council designate the subject lands as a Class 4 Area under relevant provincial noise guidelines administered by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). A Class 4 Area designation allows for higher daytime and night-time sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a noise sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas. The impact of such higher levels is mitigated by specified noise control measures. A Noise and Vibration Impact Study was prepared in support of the development at 1744 to 1750 Ellesmere Road which opines that the site is an appropriate candidate for a Class 4 Area designation. A peer review of this study supported this conclusion. A Class 4 Area designation will allow existing commercial facilities in the vicinity of the site and the TTC McCowan Yard to the north of the site, to rely on the associated sound level limits in applications for required provincial approvals, including operating certificates.
Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council classify the lands municipally known as 1744 to 1750 Ellesmere Road as a Class 4 Noise Area pursuant to Ministry of Environment (now Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks) Environmental Noise Guideline - Stationary and Transportation Sources - Approval and Planning Publication NPC-300, August 2013. 2. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning or her/his designate to provide a copy of the City Council Decision Document to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).

Intention to Designate Under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 3315 Midland Avenue
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 3315 Midland Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The subject property is located on the east side of Midland Avenue at the north-east corner with South Shields Avenue in the Agincourt neighbourhood and contains a one-and-a-half storey house dating to c. 1875. In 2006, City Council listed the property at 3315 Midland Avenue, containing a house historically known as the George L'Amoreaux farm house (c.1875), on the City of Toronto's Inventory of Heritage Properties (now known as the Heritage Register). The property has been identified as having archaeological potential in accordance with the City of Toronto's Archaeological Master Plan. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 3315 Midland Avenue meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. The owner of the property at 3315 Midland Avenue has submitted a Notice of Intention to demolish a listed heritage property under the Ontario Heritage Act. The application is incomplete. In accordance with Official Plan Heritage Policies, properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 3315 Midland Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in accordance with the Revised Statement of Significance: 3315 Midland Avenue (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the supplementary report (March 30, 2021) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning. 2. If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill in Council. 3. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the proposed designation to the Conservation Review Board. 4. If the designation is referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council's decision to designate the property.

This report recommends that City Council include the property at 2685 Kingston Road (the Scarboro Foreign Mission) on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register, state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, approve the alterations proposed for the heritage property in connection with a proposed development of the subject property and grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the subject property. The property at 2685 Kingston Road was owned and occupied by the Scarboro Foreign Mission Society from 1923 until 2018. The property contains the seminary constructed in 1923-4 in a Georgian Revival style according to the designs of James M. Cowan, with later additions. It also contains the Gothic Revival style chapel and adjacent residence designed by James H. Haffa and constructed in 1958-9. Located in the Cliffcrest neighbourhood at the south-west corner of Kingston Road and Brimley Road South, the Mission is part of a collection of educational buildings located at this corner, including the prominent landmark of St. Augustine's Seminary, a designated heritage property, the St. John Henry Newman Catholic High School, the St. Theresa Shrine Catholic School and the Chine Drive Public School. The property is currently owned by the Toronto Catholic District School Board. The Scarboro Foreign Mission complex of buildings will be partially retained and adaptively reused as a new school. The 1923-4 seminary building and 1958-9 chapel will be retained and conserved. The 1958-9 office-residential wing, including the bell tower and stone Gothic porch, will be demolished to accommodate construction of the new school. A new addition will link the seminary building and chapel, a three-storey addition will be located to the rear of the seminary building and chapel and a new one-storey, double-height gymnasium building will be located to the west of the heritage buildings, in the location of the existing 1958-9 office-residential wing. Another new addition will be located further to the rear of the heritage buildings. The proposal involves alterations to allow the adaptive reuse of the retained buildings as part of a new school and compatible new construction that is subordinate to the seminary building and chapel. The designation of the Scarboro Foreign Mission property at 2685 Kingston Road would identify all of the property's cultural heritage values and heritage attributes. Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations for the property, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the subject two applications which together propose approximately 5,000 dwelling units in fourteen 15- to 45-storey mixed use towers that include approximately 10,700 square metres of retail commercial space, 4,624 square metres of community facilities space, and an approximately 1.46 hectare public park. The subject applications have also been submitted jointly with an Official Plan Amendment and rezoning application for 641 to 663 Danforth Road. The three applications together propose a coordinated overall redevelopment concept master plan for a new mixed use community within the area known locally and historically as "Scarborough Junction", as illustrated on Attachment 12: Artist's Perspective Rendering - Overall Development Concept. Of note, the application at 641 to 663 Danforth Road will require separate preliminary consideration at the Planning and Housing Committee meeting on April 22, 2021 in view of the current Municipal Comprehensive Review ("MCR") initiated on August 4, 2020. The combined proposals provide for approximately 6,600 new dwelling units overall in up to 17 new high-rise mixed use apartment towers ranging in height from 12 to 48-storeys on stand-alone or shared podiums of varying heights. The overall development proposed comprises approximately 480,000 square metres of residential uses, 15,300 square metres of retail space, new GO station entrance building and approximately 4,600 square metres of community use space, representing an overall density ("FSI") of 4.88 times over the combined site area. A draft plan of subdivision has also been proposed for the area south of St. Clair Avenue East, east of Danforth Road, to establish 8 new development blocks, introduce new public streets and create approximately 1.46 hectares of new parkland. The applicant has entered into an agreement with Metrolinx under the Province's Transit Oriented Communities Program.
