2151 Kingston Road - Zoning Amendment Application - Final Report
This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the development of a 10-storey residential building at 2151 Kingston Road. The proposed building would have a total gross floor area of 11,425 square metres and would contain 163 dwelling units, including six live-work units fronting Kingston Road, resulting in a Floor Space Index of 4.45. One type "G" loading space would be provided to service the proposed development. Parking would be provided at a rate of 0.39 residential spaces per unit and 0.1 visitor spaces per unit, resulting in a total of 82 parking spaces (inclusive of three barrier-free spaces) within two levels of underground parking. 12 short term and 111 long-term bicycle parking spaces would be provided. Vehicular access to the site would be provided from Kingston Road. Two short-term pick-up and drop-off spaces are also proposed for visitors and TTC (Wheel Trans). 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). The proposal conforms with the Official Plan, as it intensifies a site designated Mixed Use Areas in a way that is compatible with the existing and planned context. The 10- storey building conforms to the appropriate mid-rise performance standards. It provides the necessary transition to adjacent low-scale land uses while introducing additional housing options within a contextually appropriate built form. The proposal is consistent with the goals of the Kingston Road (Cliffside Village) Avenue Study which introduced a Commercial-Residential (CR) zone to the Cliffside Village Kingston Road corridor in 2009 to facilitate intensification. Through revisions to the proposal, the application has been reduced in height and density to conform to the applicable Official Plan policies, the City's Mid-rise Guidelines and the Cliffside Village Urban Design Guidelines. As prescribed by the in-force Zoning By-law for the Cliffside Village area, it is recommended that a contribution of $300,000 be secured towards the development of Southwest Scarborough Community Recreation Centre and/or other recreation facilities in the area as identified by the Parks Forestry and Recreation Facilities Master Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

25 Borough Drive - Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-Law Amendment - Final Report
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and the Employment Districts Zoning By-law No. 24982 (Progress Employment District), and to lift the Holding ("H") provisions for the subject site. The applications propose to update existing residential permissions to permit a mixed-use development with three residential towers of 32, 41 and 50-storeys with 1,285 purpose-built rental units along with a total of 1,611 square metres of retail uses at grade. The proposed total gross floor area of 109,962 square metres represents a gross density of approximately 7.98 times the lot area. A new 2,041 square metre public park is proposed at the south end of the site and a 966 square metre Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS) walkway is proposed between the north and south blocks, which will provide a pedestrian connection through the site and enhance the public realm by creating additional open space through the site. Staff have negotiated a number of community benefits, including a 966 square metre Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS) walkway and a $7,500,000 financial contribution to be dispersed as outlined in Recommendation 13, and which are recommended to be secured in an agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act. The site's redevelopment will contribute to the continued development of a mixed-income, inclusive community, supporting the evolution and vision of Scarborough Centre, as well as the first phase of a long-term plan to redevelop the Scarborough Town Centre mall lands. Through the dedication of the parkland and securing of POPS space, the proposal creates a public realm around which a new community will emerge. Approval of the development would also secure a number of community benefits, outlined above. The application is also proposing to realign Borough Drive to implement the street network in accordance with the Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan ("SCSP") Map 5-3, Street Network, which envisions a finer grain street network to allow pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and vehicles to move more efficiently while improving connectivity. Concurrently with this report, staff are proceeding with a report to seek City Council authority to enter into an agreement to exchange a portion of Borough Drive owned by the City of Toronto and land owned by the Owner. The proposed land exchange would facilitate a realigned Borough Drive and increase the area of the developable lands adjacent thereto owned by the Owner. The proposed amendment to the Official Plan would exempt the portion of 25 Borough Drive being redeveloped from Policy 6.3 of the SCSP to bring the parkland dedication rate for the site into accordance with the Official Plan policies regarding parkland that are in force at the time of issuance of the first above-grade building permit, as well as modify the wording in the existing Site and Area Specific Policy 1 (SASP 1) to delete retail uses as the primary use and streetscape requirements along Brimley Road from the lands. In addition, the proposed amendment to the Official Plan would re-designate the south portion of the site as Parks on Land Use Map 19. This report also 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). Class 4 Area designation will allow existing industrial facilities in the vicinity of the site, to rely on the associated sound level limits in applications for required provincial approvals, including operating certificates. The proposed development concept is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan (2020), as it provides an appropriate type and scale of development in a strategic growth area, Scarborough Centre. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and that the Owner to enter into a Section 37 Agreement.

Finch-Kennedy Smart Track Station - City-Initiated Zoning By-law Amendments - Final Report
This report proposes a City-initiated zoning by-law amendment to facilitate the delivery of the Finch-Kennedy SmartTrack station. The purpose of this by-law amendment is to provide relief from certain zoning by-law provisions related to transportation uses for the station lands and to accommodate the SmartTrack station elements. Finch-Kennedy Station will be located along the Stouffville GO rail corridor in Scarborough, between Milliken Station to the north (at Steeles Avenue East) and Agincourt Station to the south (at Sheppard Avenue East). The station will generally be situated on the north side of Finch Avenue East, about halfway between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue. Vehicular access to Finch-Kennedy Station will be provided via a new access road connecting to Finch Avenue East, opposite Baylawn Drive, about 230 metres east of the rail corridor. Pedestrian pickup/drop-off will be provided along the south side of this access road. TTC buses will connect with the station at stops in lay-bys on the north and south sides of Finch Avenue East. The zoning by-law amendment affects four parcels on both sides of Finch Avenue East, east and west of the rail corridor, which comprise the station site. The station facilities on these lands and the rail corridor include: two side platforms with mini-platforms, north and south stairs elevators from the side platforms to station building station access buildings (both north and south sides of Finch Avenue East) a road-rail grade separation complete with four through lanes, sidewalks and bicycle tracks allowing the rail corridor to cross over Finch Avenue East bus lay-bys to accommodate 3 articulated TTC buses in each direction on Finch Avenue East under the grade separation; para-transit drop-off and curbside passenger pick up/drop-off east of the main station building; an underground storm-water storage tank; a storm-water pumping station including mechanical, communication and electrical service rooms; and 96 secure and covered bicycle parking spaces. The intent of the proposed zoning by-law amendment is to provide flexibility to account for minor design changes as the station design is refined; amend zoning requirements to reduce the amount of property Metrolinx will need to acquire where a partial property is needed; and provide new provisions that will provide flexibility on setbacks, lot coverage, gross floor area (GFA) and floor space index (FSI) that only apply to a transportation use for properties zoned in By-law 569- 2013. Exemptions would not apply to non-transit portions of a development, and would not change the requirements for non-transit uses. The amendments have been reviewed against the policies of the PPS (2020), the Growth Plan (2020), and the Official Plan. Staff are of the opinion that the recommended Zoning By law Amendments are consistent with the PPS (2020), and conform to and do not conflict with the Growth Plan (2020). Furthermore, the zoning amendments are in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan, particularly as it relates to supporting the increased use of existing rail corridors within the City for enhanced local and inter-regional passenger service. 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, for the lands at 4120 Finch Avenue East and unaddressed lands comprising portions of Finch Avenue East right-of-way between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue, substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 1 to the report (June 14, 2022) from the Director, Transit and Transportation Planning. 2. City Council amend former City of Scarborough Employment Districts Zoning By-law 24982, as amended, for the lands at 4140, 4150 and 4168 Finch Ave East, substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 1 to the report (June 14, 2022) from the Director, Transit and Transportation Planning. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required.

A series of applications have been submitted to permit the redevelopment of the lands at 65 to 99 Silver Springs Boulevard: - A Zoning By-law Amendment Application to permit the construction of three new apartment buildings with heights of 8, 17, and 22 storeys along with two new blocks of stacked back-to-back townhouses. The proposal would result in 548 net new rental dwelling units, 56 replacement rental units, and 374 retained rental units (total of 978 rental units). The proposed total gross floor area is 40,414 square metres, which represents a density of 2.15 times the lot area; - A Rental Housing Demolition application to permit the demolition of seven 2-storey apartment buildings containing 56 rental dwelling units; and - An application for Plan of Subdivision Approval to create a new 18.5-metre-wide public street and associated development blocks necessary to deploy the proposal. The subject lands are located north of Finch Avenue East and south of Silver Springs Boulevard, and are approximately 4.0 hectares in size. The site currently contains 9 rental buildings comprised of seven 2-storey walk up buildings containing 56 three-bedroom rental units on the eastern portion of the site, one 9-storey building containing 88 one-bedroom rental units at the northwest portion of the site, and one 9-storey building containing 286 rental units of various sizes on the southwest portion of the site. The proposal would rely on existing access but also provide a new public road with an 18.5-metre right-of-way to service the development along the eastern boundary of the lands while adding pedestrian and vehicular connections between Finch Avenue East and Silver Springs Boulevard. A recommended agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act would secure 9 new affordable rental dwelling units for a period of 99 years, as well as a $1.5 million financial contribution to local community recreation infrastructure improvements. 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). It adds to the range and mix of residential rental units available in a compact form. Approval of the development would also secure a number of community benefits, including the provision of 9 new affordable rental units. This report reviews and recommends approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment and Rental Housing Demolition applications and the execution and registration of the necessary Section 37 and 111 agreements to secure the community benefits, rental housing replacement and all necessary matters to support the proposed development. The report also advises that the Chief Planner may approve the Draft Plan of Subdivision which will be secured with further reporting to City Council as necessary.

This application proposes to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013 for lands at 4415 to 4419 and 4421 Sheppard Avenue East to permit the construction of an 11 storey (35.95 metres) mixed-use development. The existing buildings on site would be demolished. The proposed mid-rise building would contain 239 residential units and a gross floor area of 17,991 square metres resulting in an overall density of 5.2 times the area of the lot. A total of 325.4 square metres of non-residential gross floor area is located on the ground level for a portion of the Sheppard Avenue East frontage and the full Brimley Road frontage. Six residential townhouse units directly accessible from grade are proposed to be located along Fulham Street along with the main residential lobby entrance at the northwest corner of the building along Sheppard Avenue East. Access to the garage, loading, and short-term parking is provided along a private driveway taken from Fulham Street. Parking for 182 vehicles and 189 bicycles are proposed at grade and within a two and a half level underground parking structure. A 142 square metre Privately Owned Publicly Accessible Open Space (POPS) is also proposed at the northeast corner of the site at the intersection of Sheppard Avenue and Brimley Road.

The proposed development advances Official Plan direction for reurbanizing Avenues and Mixed Use Areas by intensifying an underutilized site on Sheppard Avenue East with residential uses and supporting the public realm with grade related commercial uses and open space at the intersection of Sheppard Avenue East and Brimley Road. As part of the approvals for the application, it is recommended that a cash contribution of $950,000 be secured to be directed towards local park improvements in Ward 23 in an agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act. It is also recommended that a number of items be secured through the Section 37 as a legal convenience including a POPS and the finalized Engineering studies. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the proposed development.

5 Corporate Drive - Official Plan Amendment - Final Report
The proposed amendment to the Official Plan would exempt the subject lands from Policy 6.3 of the Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan to bring the parkland dedication rate for the site into accordance with the Official Plan policies regarding parkland that are in force at the time of issuance of the first above-grade building permit. However, section 3.2.3(5) of Toronto's Official Plan applies in respect of parkland dedication rates. There is a site plan application that is being reviewed concurrently that proposes to redevelop the subject lands (Block B) with two rental apartment buildings of 38-storeys (Building B1) and 44-storeys (Building B2), connected by a 4-storey podium comprised of 778 residential suites with retail at-grade. The proposed development would have a total gross floor area of 69,002.32 square metres consisting of 68,271.28 square metres of residential uses and 731.04 square metres of retail/commercial space. A Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS), a plaza located at the northeast corner of the site, will connect with the landscape courtyard linking the proposed development to the existing buildings at 100, 200 and 300 Consilium Place. 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). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan. It would bring the parkland dedication rate for the site into alignment with the city-wide Official Plan policies that apply a cap on required parkland dedication, based on site area.
Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the Official Plan, for the lands at 5 Corporate Drive substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (dated June 1, 2022) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning. 2.

SC33.10amended
The planning applications propose to amend the Official Plan and the relevant Zoning By laws in order to permit the development of the subject lands with a 783 unit, 54,634 square metre, new residential project consisting of 8, 15, 19 and 20 storey buildings, 2 blocks of 3.5 storey stacked back to back townhouses, and a new 4,455 square metre (1.1 acre) public park. The development includes a new C-shaped private street which provides access to 638 vehicular parking spaces located within two levels of underground parking as well as surface parking. A total of 602 bicycle parking spaces are proposed as well. A gross floor space index of 2.2 times the area of the site is proposed. Amendments to the Official Plan are required in order to redesignate the subject lands from Neighbourhoods to Apartment Neighbourhoods and Parks and Open Spaces (Parks). Amendments to the former Scarborough Village Community Zoning By-law No. 11010, as amended and Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended, are required in order to permit the proposed apartment buildings, the proposed public park and establish appropriate regulating performance standards. Of note, the applicant proposes the realignment of an existing City owned transmission water main and the establishment of a 10.7 metre easement in favour of the City to facilitate the proposed development. 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). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and relevant Zoning By-law. The intensification of the site with the proposed residential land use and parkland is appropriate given that it meets the development criteria for the Apartment Neighbourhoods land use designation, the redevelopment appropriately fits within the existing and planned context for the area and will not result in adverse impacts. The development is a partnership between the non-profit affordable home ownership developers Options for Homes and Habitat for Humanity GTA. The site was a surplus City of Toronto property that was sold to the groups by Build Toronto, now CreateTO. In 2018 City Council approved financial support for 300 of the new homes proposed for the site from the City's Home Ownership Assistance Program (HOAP). HOAP provides City Development Charge deferrals to developers who then pass on this value to eligible purchasers in the form of down payment assistance loans. This report recommends HOAP support for up to an additional 92 new affordable ownership homes. The total number of affordable ownership units with HOAP support proposed on this site is now 392.

SC33.11adopted
This application proposes to amend the former City of Scarborough Highland Creek Community Zoning By-law 10827 for the property at 40 Pan Am Drive and lift the Holding Provision (H) which applies to the subject site to permit the development and construction of a five-storey (22.77 m) parking structure. The site is located on the North Campus of the University of Toronto Scarborough ("UTSC" or "the University"), northeast of Military Trail, and is currently in use as a combination of surface parking lots, athletic fields, and vacant land. The proposed development would contain a total of 1,073 parking spaces, with 215 electric vehicle charging stations, dedicated parking spaces for car share and a total of 50 bicycle parking spaces. The parking structure is proposed to be built using mass timber construction, one of the first examples in Canada of this method of construction for a parking facility. Construction of the parking garage will consolidate much of the North Campus parking requirements into a single site, as parking is currently provided through an array of surface parking lots. The total gross floor area (GFA) of the proposed building is 2,359 square metres and includes 276 square metres of ancillary office space and 773 square metres of retail uses. 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) and successfully implements policies of the City of Toronto's Official Plan. Further, the proposal has due regard to the Highland Creek Secondary Plan and satisfies the applicable policy requirements regarding the lifting of the 'H' on the subject lands. By consolidating parking requirements and other mobility options on the site, the proposed development will advance the UTSC's long-term campus planning and future vision as it will free up existing surface parking lots for redevelopment and intensification. The location of the parking structure is appropriate as it contributes to the ongoing evolution of the North Campus. It will serve users of existing buildings (Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre) and new buildings (Instructional Centre 2 - under construction) while reserving space to allow for the implementation of a realigned Military Trail to be a central feature as UTSC intensifies its uses north of Ellesmere Road. Staff are satisfied that the conditions for lifting the "H" set out in the Zoning By-law have been met through the submission and review of the applicable technical studies, including the soil gas assessment. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By law and recommends the lifting of the Holding Provision on the subject lands.
Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the former City of Scarborough Highland Creek Community Zoning By-law 10827, as amended, for the lands at 40 Pan Am Drive substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 6 to the report (June 13, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District. 2. City Council amend the former City of Scarborough Highland Creek Community Zoning By-law 10827, as amended, for the lands at 40 Pan Am Drive to lift the applicable Holding Provision substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (June 13, 2022) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the or draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

25 Sewells Road and 182 to 250 Brenyon Way - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Final Report
This application proposes to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013 for lands at 25 Sewells Road and 182 to 250 Brenyon Way to permit the construction of two 9-storey rental apartment buildings (one residential building and one mixed-use building) on a currently vacant site that was formerly the location of a place of worship. The proposed development would be integrated with the group of existing buildings on adjacent lands also owned by the proponent at 182 to 250 Brenyon Way (the "Brenyon Way lands"). The existing development on the Brenyon Way lands consists of a 21-storey residential apartment building and numerous townhouse blocks to the south of the proposed development. The proposed apartment buildings would contain 317 residential units with a total gross floor area of 23,816 square metres. A total of 70 square metres of non-residential gross floor area is proposed within the base of one of the proposed rental apartment buildings. When considered as part of the whole site (inclusive of the Brenyon Way lands), the application proposes a total floor space index (FSI) of 1.26. A new underground parking garage would be connected to an existing below-grade parking structure and would provide an additional 148 vehicle parking spaces. The proposal includes 663 square metres of indoor amenity and 722 square metres of outdoor amenity space, including improvements to existing on-site amenities as outlined in Official Plan policies for infill development in Apartment Neighbourhoods. The proposed development provides pedestrian connections through the site, including a connection to an existing pedestrian path to the nearby Wickson Trail Park. Each proposed building would include one type "G" loading space, with a new driveway from Brenyon Way providing vehicular access to the site. The existing Brenyon Way vehicle access is proposed to be closed. This site is part of the City's Open Door affordable housing program and all units are proposed to be rental in tenure. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and confirms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020), as implemented by the policies of the City of Toronto's Official Plan. The proposed development will provide much-needed affordable housing and residential intensification on a site adjacent to the Malvern Community Recreation Centre and within walking distance from the planned terminus of the future Eglinton East LRT. The proposal contributes positively to the public realm and improves community connectivity. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

The Owner shall construct and maintain the development in accordance with Tier 1; and b. the Owner will enter into a financially secured development agreement to identify cost-sharing obligations and coordination of construction of any improvements to the municipal infrastructure, should it be determined that upgrades are required to the infrastructure to support this development, prior to the issuance of any building permit, all to the satisfaction and acceptance by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services and by the General Manager of Transportation Services. 4.
