Final Report - 66 and 80 Dale Avenue - Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application
This application proposes to amend the existing Official Plan land use designations and the current zoning permissions for the lands municipally known as 66 and 80 Dale Avenue to permit the development of the lands at 80 Dale Avenue with two residential apartment buildings and to enable the use of the lands at 66 Dale Avenue as parkland as a result of the transfer of the lands to the City through a land exchange. The proposed residential apartment buildings on 80 Dale Avenue would be 7 and 12-storeys in height, comprised of a total of 285 units and built upon two levels of below-grade parking, containing a total of 305 parking spaces. The proposed development includes a Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Open Space (POPS) walking trail along the western and northern edges of the development site with an area of approximately 2,438 square metres. Amendments to the Official Plan are required to re-designate the lands at 80 Dale Avenue from Neighbourhoods and Parks and Open Space Areas (Parks) to Apartment Neighbourhoods and the lands at 66 Dale Avenue from Neighbourhoods to Parks and Open Space Areas (Parks). Amendments to the former City of Scarborough Zoning By-law No. 10010 (Scarborough Village Community), as amended, and City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013, as amended, are also required to permit the proposed residential development and the proposed parkland to the west of the development site. To facilitate the proposed development, the Owner has a sought a land exchange of 1,202 square metres with the City of Toronto. This involves the transfer of the lands at 66 Dale Avenue to the City in exchange for portions of land at the eastern edge of the adjacent existing City-owned parkland, which are intended to be added to the development site at 80 Dale Avenue. This enables a more regular access along Dale Avenue and driveway design for the proposed residential development, and creates a more contiguous rectangular parcel for the City-owned parkland. The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-laws. The proposed residential apartment buildings represent appropriate intensification, fit within the existing and planned context, and include an on-site POPS. The proposal enables the orderly development of the subject lands for public parkland and residential intensification.

The new detached house lots will become Parcels of Tied Land ("POTLS") to the Common Elements of a Common Elements Condominium, which includes an 8.0 metre wide private road and landscaping. The private road will provide shared access and servicing to the houses and two visitor parking spaces. This report reviews and recommends approval of a Part-Lot Control Exemption By-law, lifting Part-Lot Control for a period of two years, subject to conditions, on the subject lands.

After hearing from numerous residents on Jolly Way regarding their concerns about the lack of adequate on-site parking on their properties, I have concluded that their long term parking needs can be satisfied through the City's Residential On-street Permit Parking Program. The areas of the City that currently allow for residential permit parking are: Toronto, East York, Etobicoke, York, certain areas of North York and certain areas of Scarborough. Pursuant to section 925-4C of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, Chapter 925 does not apply to the excluded area, as defined. As such, staff are unable to designate roads or areas within the excluded area as permit parking roads or areas even where staff are in receipt of a petition from residents. This motion seeks to exclude Jolly Way from the definition of "Excluded Area" under Chapter 925, such that this street can be considered for permit parking through the petition and polling process:
Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend Section 925-1B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, by adding the following language to subsection (2) of the definition for "Excluded Area": "d. Jolly Way".
