The 2021 rezoning application as currently revised proposes a 13-storey mixed-use building consisting of 25,981 square metres of residential uses (429 residential units), and retail space of 401 square metres, resulting in a Floor Space Index ("FSI") of 6.1 times the overall site area. A total of 242 vehicular parking spaces and 324 bicycle parking spaces are proposed. The 2022 Official Plan amendment proposes to redesignate 67 Elfreda Boulevard, being incorporated into the proposed development, from Neighbourhoods to Mixed Use Areas. 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 primarily designated Mixed Use Areas in a way that is compatible with the existing and planned context. The 13-storey building conforms to 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. Through revisions to the proposal, the application has been reduced in height and density to conform to the applicable Official Plan policies and the City's Mid-rise Guidelines. The proposed development would intensify lands by providing an appropriate range and mix of uses including housing on a currently underutilized commercial site. The proposed development would also include a base building of an appropriate height and scale to create a pedestrian street wall that will support and animate the public realm along a major street. This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Our Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan Study - Proposals Report
The Our Scarborough Centre (OurSC) Study was initiated by City Planning staff in February 2018 for the lands within Scarborough Centre (SC), comprising Wards 21 and 24 and represents approximately 180 hectares of land (refer to Attachment 1: Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan Study boundaries). Over the past half century, Scarborough Centre has grown from an agricultural area to become the civic, commercial, and employment heart of Scarborough. The evolution of SC has been closely tied to transportation infrastructure with the initial wave of urbanization occurring when Ontario Highway 401 was built through the area in the 1950s, followed by the construction of TTC Line 3 Scarborough (originally known as the Scarborough RT) and the adjacent Bus Terminal in 1985. The current Secondary Plan for Scarborough Centre dates back to 2005 and is out of date. The OurSC Study is a multi-faceted study that refines and updates the 2005 Secondary Plan and develops a comprehensive planning framework specific to the Centre. Central to the Study is a robust policy direction for the Centre inspired by a vision to transform the area into a complete community. The policies are intended to guide future growth and encourage city building that is green, resilient and sustainable, guides positive change and placemaking over the coming decades, and promotes the development of Scarborough Centre as a vibrant, connected, and prosperous mixed-use growth centre. The purpose of this report to present the "OurSC: Phase 4 Final Study Report", and provide a summary of the Study findings (refer to Attachment 2: OurSC: Phase 4 Final Study Report - Executive Summary). The preferred development concept identified by the consultant has the potential to accommodate approximately 64,000 residents and 27,000 jobs over the next 20+ years, in a mix of tall, mid- and low-rise buildings ranging in height from 1 to 55 storeys.
The Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1.

4569 Kingston Road - Construction Staging Area Time Extension
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Kingston Road, City Council approval of this report is required. 4569 Kingston Road Developments Limited Partnership is constructing an 11-storey residential apartment building at 4569 Kingston Road. The site is located on the south side of Kingston Road between Collinsgrove Road and Eli Shackleton Court. The south sidewalk and the eastbound lane on Kingston Road, between a point 19.9 metres east of Collinsgrove Road and a point 60.9 metres further east, is currently closed to accommodate construction staging operations for the development. At its meeting on July 19, 2022, City Council approved the subject construction staging area from August 1, 2022 to August 1, 2023. The developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Kingston Road due to delays in obtaining site plan approval. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area from August 2, 2023 to September 30, 2024 to allow for the construction of the development to be completed.
The Scarborough Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the continuation of the closure of the south sidewalk and the eastbound curb lane on Kingston Road, between a point 19.9 metres east of Collinsgrove Road and a point 60.9 metres further east and provision of a temporary pedestrian walkway within the closed portion of the eastbound curb lane, from August 2, 2023 to September 30, 2024. 2.

City Council direct the applicant to continue to construct (as per the City's engineer approved specifications) and maintain a fully covered, protected and unobstructed walkway, compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, for all pedestrians, including for those with mobility devices for the entire duration of the construction staging area permit. 4. City Council direct the applicant to continue to ensure that the existing sidewalks or the proposed pedestrian walkway have proper enhanced lighting to ensure safety and visibility at all times of the day and night. 5. City Council direct the applicant to continue to clearly consult and communicate all construction, parking and road occupancy impacts with local business improvement areas and resident associations in advance of any physical road modifications. 6. City Council direct the applicant to continue to install appropriate signage and request the applicant to install converging mirrors to ensure that pedestrians, cyclists and motorists safety is considered at all times. 7. City Council direct the applicant to continue to provide a sufficient number of traffic control persons as determined by the Work Zone Coordinator and Toronto Police Construction Liaison Officer, on a daily basis to control construction vehicle access and egress to and from the site and maintain a safe environment for the public. 8.

City Council direct the applicant to continue to post a 24-hour monitored construction hotline number on the hoarding board, which must be prominently placed and legible from 20 metres and on all elevations from the construction site. 11. City Council direct the applicant to continue to provide and install public art, including mural artwork, onto every elevation of the hoarding board with adequate spotlighting for night-time illumination, at their sole cost, to the satisfaction of the Ward Councillor. 12.

Belanger Crescent - Parking Amendments
A number of residents have contacted me with regard to snow clearing issues on Belanger Crescent due to parked cars. I reached out to Transportation staff, and they advised the following: "Currently, standing is prohibited at all times on the south side of Belanger Crescent between Edhouse Avenue and the east end of Belanger Crescent. With Belanger Crescent now extending and intersecting with Lily Cup Avenue., it is recommended that the standing prohibition be extended to Lily Cup Avenue." I support this recommendation, as it will mitigate the snow clearing issues, and will help to ensure traffic and pedestrian safety on the street.
The Scarborough Community Council: 1. Amended the existing standing prohibition in effect at all times, on the south side of Belanger Crescent, between Edhouse Avenue and the east end of Belanger Crescent, to be in effect on the south and east side of Belanger Crescent, between Edhouse Avenue and Lily Cup Avenue.
