  City-Initiated Zoning By-law Amendments to Implement Scarborough Subway Extension - Final Report

  This report proposes city-initiated zoning by-law amendments to facilitate the delivery of the Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE) project. The purpose of these amendments is to provide relief from certain zoning by-law provisions related to transportation uses for lands to be acquired by Metrolinx to accommodate SSE project elements. The zoning by-law amendments affect lands which will accommodate such structures as emergency exit buildings, traction power substations, stations including Lawrence East, Scarborough Centre and Sheppard East, as well as lands accommodating the tunnel extraction shaft at Eglinton Avenue East and Midland Avenue. The amendments also include permissions for construction offices and trailers and a request to lift a Holding Provision (H) applying to the lands with municipal addresses 110, 120 and 140 Grangeway Ave (site of the future Scarborough Centre Station.) The amendments would apply to transportation uses only and are consistent with the City's zoning policies, and none of the proposed amendments reduce zoning permissions on abutting lands. Nor will the amendments impact other uses permitted on properties affected by the amendments. In 2019, the City undertook transit enabling zoning for the Line 2 East Subway Extension project. However, since that time, Metrolinx has made changes to scope of the project that now includes three proposed stations (Lawrence East, Scarborough Centre and Sheppard East) and additional project elements. This expanded scope is now known as SSE. The previous zoning by-law amendments are relevant and carried forward into the current SSE project. This report covers the newly identified project elements of the SSE. City Planning recommends that Council adopt the proposed zoning by-law amendments.

  Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended, and the former City of Scarborough Employment Districts Zoning By-law 24982, as amended, for the lands at 642, 685 to 697, 960, 1871, 1901, 1455/1457 McCowan Road; 20 Nugget Avenue; 2500, 2507 2510 and 2516 to 2532 Eglinton Avenue East; 3050, 3051, 3060 and 3091 Lawrence Avenue East; 23 Valparaiso Avenue; 110, 120 and 140 Grangeway Avenue; and 4700 Sheppard Avenue East substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendments in Attachments 1 and 2 to the report (April 4, 2022) from the Director, Transit and Transportation Planning, City Planning. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required.

  Status Report - 3095 Eglinton Avenue East - Zoning By-law Amendment Application

  This report provides a status update regarding the application located at 3095 Eglinton Avenue East, including information and identifies a preliminary set of issues. On June 22, 2021, a Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to permit a 12-storey mixed-use building (39.0 metres in height, including mechanical penthouse) containing 173 residential units and commercial floor space at grade. The proposed 9,924 square metres of gross floor area results in an Floor Space Index (FSI) or 5.03 times the area of the lot. The application proposes to amend City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 and the Scarborough Village Community Zoning By-law No. 10010 for the lands municipally known as 3095 Eglinton Avenue East. On November 18, 2021, the applicant appealed the Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) (formerly Local Planning Appeal Tribunal), citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the prescribed timelines of the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference (CMC) for the Zoning By-law Amendment appeal has not been scheduled. Staff continue to review the application. It has been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Staff will seek revisions to the application in advance of any proceedings at the OLT in an attempt to resolve outstanding issues and will report back to City Council as appropriate on the outcomes of these requests prior to any proceedings commencing at the OLT.

  Scarborough Community Council: 1. Received the report (March 31, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District for information.

  Woodside Square Planning Review - Proposals Report

  This report provides a status update on for the Woodside Square Planning Review (the "Planning Review") and presents policy directions for a future Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) for the site to be used in upcoming public consultation. The Planning Review responds to current policy direction for the subject lands at 1571 Sandhurst Circle (Woodside Square Mall). The lands are designated a Special Policy Area and as provided for by Site and Area Specific Policy 236, no uses other than Places of Worship or commercial uses are permitted until a planning review has been completed to Council's satisfaction. In 2019, after the landowner indicated a desire to redevelop the parking areas around the mall with residential and other uses, City Council formally directed City Planning staff to initiate a Planning Review for the subject lands. The purpose of the Planning Review is to determine the appropriateness of providing additional land use permissions and establish a policy framework necessary to implement any future redevelopment of the site. Shortly after the Planning Review was initiated, a Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted by the owners of the subject lands and is being reviewed concurrently with the work undertaken as part of the Planning Review. The Planning Review has advanced through three of its intended four phases. Phases 1 and 2 (Preliminary Consultation and Study Initiation & Visioning) were completed in 2019 and 2020 and developed a vision for the subject lands. Phase 3 (Design, Testing & Analysis) has been underway since the initiation and visioning phase, including community and stakeholder consultation as well as two presentations to the City's Design Review Panel. The Planning Review process has included numerous public engagement events through all phases, and community engagement techniques were necessarily modified in order to comply with public health guidelines with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This Proposals Report represents the culmination of engagement, design, testing and analysis to date through the development of draft policy directions that will inform the creation of a new Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) for the Woodside Square lands. The draft policy directions advance the vision developed through early stages of the Planning Review to introduce residential intensification onto the site, retaining the existing mall building in the near term while not precluding the important city building components that would need to be secured over the long term if and when the mall building is reduced in size or removed completely. The near term intensification would be supported by the creation of new public streets and blocks, public parkland, public realm enhancements and improved connectivity and pedestrian safety. A final round of consultation is planned to confirm the draft policy directions as presented in this report and assist with crafting a new SASP for the subject lands. The final SASP will establish a planning framework for future development on the Woodside Square site that sets out a long-term vision for a comprehensive and orderly development of these lands into a complete community that retains a distinct identity while integrating into the existing community, building on the current function of Woodside Square as an economic, social, and community services centre within the Agincourt North community. This report recommends that the draft policy directions be used as a basis for staff to undertake additional stakeholder and public consultation. In addition, it is recommended that the draft policy directions be used to review development applications for the subject lands. Following consultation in the spring of 2022, staff propose to bring forward the recommended Official Plan Amendment for the SASP to a statutory meeting at the Scarborough Committee Council.

  Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to use the draft Woodside Square Policy Directions, beginning on page 9 within the report (April 4, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District as the basis for stakeholder and public consultation. 2. City Council direct that any rezoning applications within the Woodside Square Lands be considered and reviewed in the context of the draft policy directions. 3. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to report back to Scarborough Community Council with a final report and recommended Official Plan Amendment, including a Site and Area Specific Policy, for the subject lands at 1571 Sandhurst Circle.

  As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Borough Drive, City Council approval of this report is required. Metrolinx GO Transit buses (GO Bus) and intercity buses currently operate out of the TTC Scarborough Centre Station (SCS) at 290 Borough Drive. In Fall 2022, GO Bus and intercity buses must relocate from the existing terminal as TTC requires the extra space in the SCS to run additional bus service to accommodate the decommissioning of Line 3 Scarborough, scheduled for 2023. The Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE) project is constructing a new regional bus terminal, at north-east corner of McCowan Road and Bushby Drive, which is anticipated to open in 2030. This will be the future permanent home of GO Bus. In an effort to maintain GO Bus service at Scarborough Centre, the GO Bus operations will be temporarily relocated to the east side of Borough Drive, between Progress Avenue and Triton Road from September 1, 2022 to December 31, 2030.

  Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council approve the temporary relocation of six GO Transit Bus Bays to the east side of Borough Drive, between Progress Avenue and Triton Road, from September 1, 2022 to December 31, 2030. 2.

  Pay-and-Display Parking - Kingston Road

  As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Kingston Road, City Council approval of this report is required. Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) has worked with Transportation Services to identify new pay-and-display parking spaces in Ward 20 that will support the local community and area businesses by encouraging a regular turnover in the on-street parking supply. Through this review, Transportation Services is recommending the introduction of pay-and-display parking on the following sections of Kingston Road: - North side, between Warden Avenue and a point 30 metres west of Manderley Drive - North side, between Harewood Avenue and a point 23 metres further south - North side, between Midland Avenue and Claremore Avenue - South side, between Cliffside Drive and a point 155 metres further north - South side, between Gradwell Drive and Harewood Avenue The proposed parking changes on Kingston Road will replace the existing unpaid parking that is currently in effect. The proposed changes will result in approximately 135 new on-street paid parking spaces and will encourage parking turnover while not impacting the flow of traffic.

  Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the amendments to parking regulations required to establish new on-street paid parking locations, as set out in Attachments 1 and 2, to the report "Pay-and-Display Parking - Kingston Road" (April 4, 2022) from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

  Tilley Drive Traffic Concerns

  The purpose of this report is to respond to Scarborough Community Council's request that Transportation Services investigate measures to reduce the speed and volume of traffic on Tilley Drive that could be installed in conjunction with the Port Union Road Improvements Project (SC27.10). Transportation Services is requesting approval to prohibit eastbound and westbound through traffic movements at all times of day, at the intersection of Port Union Road and Tilley Drive/private driveway (Ravine Park Plaza). The proposed traffic amendment would provide efficient traffic operation and reduce the potential for cut-through traffic on Tilley Drive. However, the prohibition will also prohibit area residents from going straight from Ravine Park Plaza onto Tilley Drive. Additional measures to reduce speeds and cut-through traffic are incorporated in the Port Union Road Improvements Project and will include curb extensions (also known as bump-outs) at intersection corners, raised crosswalks, and cycle tracks setback from the street where possible at the majority of side street intersections including Tilley Drive. In addition, City Council recently approved a reduction to the speed limit on Port Union Road from 60 km/h to 50 km/h between Island Road and Lawrence Avenue East (IE26.10). As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Port Union Road, City Council approval of this report is required.

  Pedestrian safety on Gerrard Street East, between Victoria Park Avenue and Clonmore Drive

  Dear Scarborough Community Council, With traffic and pedestrian safety being of utmost importance, over the years I have consistently advocated for safety to be prioritized by directing Transportation Services staff to conduct the necessary studies and to follow up with the necessary changes required to provide a safer environment for residents. Measures have been initiated along Clonmore Drive and Gerrard Street East, from Warden Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue, to improve traffic and pedestrian safety. Conditions continue to be assessed to determine additional improvements that will be part of future development in the area. In response to safety concerns raised by Ward 20 residents regarding the impact of future development on pedestrian safety at Victoria Park Avenue and Gerrard Street East, I am requesting that Transportation Services consult with my office to ensure pedestrian safety is thoroughly reviewed and addressed upon completion of the park portion of development. I ask that staff report back with proposed measures that align with the principles of the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, which are consistently applied throughout the City of Toronto.

  Scarborough Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, to review and report back to Scarborough Community Council on the need for an additional protected pedestrian crossing on Gerrard Street East between Clonmore Drive and Blantyre Avenue, associated with the development at 411 Victoria Park Avenue and 2510 and 2530 Gerrard Street East. The review is to be undertaken upon completion of the future public park fronting on to Gerrard Street East between Clonmore Drive and Blantyre Avenue.

  U-turn prohibition McNicoll Avenue immediately west of Kennedy Road

  Dear Scarborough Community Council Chair and Members: In response to numerous concerns brought to my attention by members of the community, I am bringing forward a motion to Scarborough Community Council that would prohibit westbound U-turns on McNicoll Avenue west of Kennedy Road, in immediate area of 1881-1883 McNicoll Avenue. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) service operates a transit service on McNicoll Avenue, City Council approval of this request is required. Repeated illegal U-turns at this location has become a safety hazard for drivers and pedestrians. I am asking the members of Scarborough Community Council to support my recommendation to prohibit westbound U-turns at this location.

  Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council prohibit westbound U-turn movements at all times on McNicoll Avenue, between the private access located approximately 200 metres west of Kennedy Road and a point 120 metres further west.
