SC5.1adopted
3070 Ellesmere Road - Application to Lift Holding Provision - Decision Report - Approval
This application proposes to lift the Holding ("H") symbol for the lands municipally known as 3070 Ellesmere Road. A Holding Provision was added to the lands through the enactment of site specific Zoning By-law 1421-2007 to ensure that development of the lands did not occur until the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks (formerly the Ministry of Environment) (the "MECP"), issued a Certificate of Approval associated with the methane venting system on site. The Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning in consultation with the General Manager of Solid Waste Services are now satisfied that the by-law holding provision has been met, the relevant Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks requirements and regulations have been addressed and that it is appropriate to lift the 'H' symbol. Lifting the Holding ("H") Symbol will permit the development of the subject lands with a 26 storey, 246 unit, mixed use building comprised of 400 square metres of ground floor non-residential space. The approved development includes a total of 185 parking spaces and 268 bike parking spaces on site. The proposed amendment is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) and the City's Official Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to lift the holding ("H") provision for the lands at 3070 Ellesmere Road.
The Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend former City of Scarborough Zoning By-law 11883, as amended, and Site Specific Zoning By-law 1421-2007 to remove the Holding ("H") symbol for the lands at 3070 Ellesmere Road in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 4 to the report (May 2, 2023) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District. 2.

Traffic Calming (Speed Humps) - Clonmore Drive
This segment of Clonmore Drive runs along the northwest side of Blantyre Park. As the park is a popular destination for people of all ages in both winter and summer, there is an increased amount of both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Over the years, residents of Clonmore Drive have repeatedly expressed serious concerns for the safety of pedestrians, especially children, due to speeding on the street. Therefore, I support the implementation of traffic calming.
The Scarborough Community Council: 1. Waived the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorize the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Clonmore Drive, between Blantyre Avenue and Fallingbrook Road. 2.
