TE11.2forwarded without recommendation
This application proposes to redevelop the site with a mixed-use building containing retail and office uses within the portion fronting 540-544 King Street West and residential uses within the portion fronting 1-7 Morrison Street. Due to the difference in floor-to-ceiling height requirements between office and residential uses, the office portion of the proposed building would be 15-storeys tall and the residential portion would be 17-storeys tall. The overall building height for both portions, including mechanical elements, is proposed at 50 metres. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposal is consistent with the relevant policies of the Official Plan, the King Spadina Secondary Plan, the Downtown Plan and the King-Spadina Urban Design Guidelines. The proposal provides approximately 18,745 square metres of new office space, maintains a minimum of 10 percent three-bedroom units and 20 percent two-bedroom units, and provides a built form that is compatible with the emerging context of the West Precinct of King-Spadina

Main Street Planning Study - City-Initiated Official Plan Amendment - Final Report
The Main Street Planning Study (the Study) was initiated after a request from City Council on November 7, 2017 that the City Planning Division undertake a study of the area within proximity of the Main Street subway station and Danforth GO station. This request was associated with a preliminary report on the zoning amendment application for 286-294 Main Street, which had been a proposal for a 30 storey mixed-use building on a heritage potential property. This report summarizes the outcome of the Study, including a heritage survey, and provides an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) in the form of a Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP) to guide development in the study area. The report also requests direction on a future Community Services and Facilities Study that is intended to respond to the growth targeted for this area as well as direction on transportation improvements at existing key intersections. The proposed OPA is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with A Place to Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposed OPA also conforms to Official Plan policies respecting directing growth in the form of complete communities in areas in proximity to higher order public transit. It should be noted that a version of the recommended SASP was provided on November 13, 2019, 20 days prior to the December 3, 2019 Toronto and East York Community Council meeting for this agenda item. The version of the recommended SASP in this report, as Attachment 7, is a revised version that was made available to the public on November 15, 2019. The revisions to the recommended SASP provide additional clarity on the intent of the policies on the parks and open spaces within the Main Street Planning Study, and specifically to the large, central park located in Character Area C, as discussed in this report.

This application proposes a large-scale, mixed-use redevelopment of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) land, located at the southwest corner of Bloor Street West and Dufferin Street, municipally known as 1141 Bloor Street West, 980 Dufferin Street, and 90 Croatia Street. The application proposes: - 6 buildings ranging in height from 8 to 37 storeys; - a new City-owned affordable rental residential building; - a City-owned Community Hub, inclusive of a City-owned childcare centre; - a new public park; - a below-grade connection to the Dufferin Subway Station; - a new north-south public street and a new north-south private street providing connections from Bloor Street West south to Croatia Street; - two east-west pedestrian pathways from Dufferin Street into the interior of the site; - a privately-owned publically accessible space (POPS) at the corner of Bloor Street West and Dufferin Street; - the heritage conservation and designation of the Kent School building at 980 Dufferin Street; and, the commemoration of the Bloor Collegiate Institute building generally at 1141 Bloor Street West. An application to amend the Official Plan and the former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86, along with a Draft Plan of Subdivision application, was submitted to the City for review on September 22, 2017. An associated Site Plan Control application was subsequently submitted on April 26, 2018. City Planning staff were not supportive of the initial proposal, broadly identifying concerns of overdevelopment of the sight resulting from excessive heights, and concern of the proposal's lack of fit within, and transition to, the low-scaled surrounding residential and commercial context. The applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application and the related Draft Pan of Subdivision and Site Plan Control applications to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal on March 26, 2018, citing the City's failure to issue a decision within the time prescribed by the Planning Act. This report reviews the revised application, and requests that City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff to attend the LPAT in support of the revised submission, dated November 13, 2019, proposing to amend the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law. The revised application proposes a transit-oriented mixed-use development on the Toronto District School Board lands which currently contains a public high school. The revised application proposes a built form that transitions well to the surrounding context, new connections that will knit this property back into the existing fabric of the surrounding neighbourhood, and along with public city-building components, will create a complete community, and a new focal point in the Bloor and Dufferin neighbourhood.

This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 55-73 and 79-87 Niagara Street on the City of Toronto Heritage Register and state its intention to designate the properties at 61-69 Niagara Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value. This row of fifteen properties, completed together in 1885-1886, contains two-storey, Victorian-era brick row houses located on the south side of Niagara Street between Tecumseth Street and Bathurst Street in the South Niagara District neighbourhood. City staff previously identified the fifteen subject properties have already been identified as a collection of buildings having potential cultural heritage value in the South Niagara Planning Strategy adopted by City Council in August 2014. Following further research and evaluation, it has been determined that each of the 15 identified properties at 55-73 and 79-87 Niagara Street meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City of Toronto also applies when evaluating properties for its Heritage Register. Around the time that the South Niagara Planning Strategy was underway, the owners of 61, 63, 65, 67 and 69 Niagara Street nominated their properties for Part IV Designation under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Since then, the owners reiterated their interest in protecting their properties at 61, 63, 65, 67 and 69 Niagara Street and hired a heritage consultant to prepare a Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report recommending the properties have cultural heritage value. Recently, the owner sold his property at 67 Niagara Street, however, the purchaser acknowledged the likelihood of future designation of the property. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the following 15 properties on the south side of Niagara Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register, in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion): 55-73 and 79-87 Niagara Street attached as Attachment 3 to the report (November 4, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning: 55 Niagara Street 57 Niagara Street 59 Niagara Street 61 Niagara Street 63 Niagara Street 65 Niagara Street 67 Niagara Street 69 Niagara Street 71 Niagara Street 73 Niagara Street 79 Niagara Street 81 Niagara Street 83 Niagara Street 85 Niagara Street 87 Niagara Street 2.

This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties at 89 - 109 Niagara Street, in connection with the proposed redevelopment of the site per the application for Site Plan Approval. This report also recommends that City Council give authority to amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement (HEA) for the properties at 89 - 109 Niagara Street which are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. A Zoning Amendment Application was submitted in March 2012 which proposed a similar scale project to that which is currently proposed. It involved the conservation of the building massing of the heritage properties and added two new buildings at the south portion of the site of 12 and 14 stories respectively. The application and subsequently executed HEA proposed substantively whole building conservation with minimal changes to the heritage buildings both externally and internally. Since that time, the Site Plan has been submitted and the Conservation Strategy for the project revised. The major difference between the previous and revised proposal is that the current strategy removes the interior of the heritage properties. All four existing buildings will be conserved with their visible facades entirely retained in situ. A fourth floor is proposed at 95-97 Niagara Street, as in the previous approved proposal, however the new floor now includes a contemporary design.
