TE1.1adopted
This application proposes to remove the holding symbol ("h") from Zoning By-law 1480-2017 (OMB), which permits a mixed-use development including residential, retail, office and institutional uses in two tall buildings on lands at 260 - 322 King Street West. The site is located on two blocks situated between King Street West to the south and Pearl Street to the north including all properties between John Street and Ed Mirvish Way (West Block), and two properties east of Ed Mirvish Way (East Block) as shown on Attachment 1. The development includes buildings of 84 and 74 storeys on the West and East Blocks respectively, designed by Frank Gehry. Zoning By-law 1480-2017 (OMB) includes a holding symbol ("h") on the lands subject to conditions. The conditions for the removal of the holding symbol requires the submission of architectural elevation drawings that illustrate building materials, colours and finishes that generally reflect the model images of the development submitted by Gehry International Inc., and considered by Council in 2014. The elevations are also to be secured in a site plan agreement, prior to the removal of the holding symbol. A site plan application for both the East and West Blocks has been submitted and review of the application is nearing completion. Model images and architectural elevation drawings that illustrate building materials, colours and finishes have been submitted and reviewed by City Planning staff and are considered acceptable. These will be secured in a site plan agreement, which would be executed and registered prior to the Bill being enacted for this Zoning By-law amendment application. The removal of the holding symbol ("h") is appropriate at this time, to allow for the progression of the project. The proposed development and request to lift the holding symbol are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golder Horseshoe (2020). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend Zoning By-law 1480-2017 (OMB) to remove the holding symbol ("h").

Before introducing the necessary Bill to City Council for enactment, require the Owner to enter into a site plan agreement, pursuant to Section 114 of the City of Toronto Act, and such site plan agreement be registered on title to the lands.

Implementation of Permit Parking on Pape Avenue, between Kings Park Boulevard and Gertrude Place
Subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, provides that: Where permit parking is not currently available and where a petition requesting permit parking signed by the residents of a minimum of 25% of the total number of residential premises having a residential address on the street or the flank of the street is submitted to the General Manager, a poll shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 190, Polling and Notification, to determine if the residents wish to have permit parking on their road or area, as the case may be. In the event of a positive polling result, the General Manager shall report such result to the appropriate community council, which community council under delegated authority, shall be authorized to pass any necessary by-laws to implement permit parking on the road or area. In the event of a negative result, permit parking shall not be extended to the road or area, and no further permit parking poll shall be conducted for a period of two years Pape Avenue, between Kings Park Boulevard and Gertrude Place is a residential street within the 8A permit parking area which is currently under the city 3-hour parking limit bylaw. Earlier this year, paid parking was approved on Pape Avenue between Kings Park Blvd and Gertrude Place. I have heard from many residents on this section of Pape Avenue frustrated that the implementation of paid parking eliminates their option to park overnight in front of their houses. By licensing the street to permit parking, residents will have a legal means to park overnight and avoid parking tickets.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Pape Avenue, Kings Park Boulevard and Gertrude Place, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location.
