625 Runnymede Road, 274 St. John's Road, and 40 Fisken Avenue - Zoning Amendment - Final Report
This application proposes to construct a five-storey, 200-bed long-term care addition to the existing four-storey Runnymede Health Care Centre hospital at 625 Runnymede Road, 274 St. John's Road, and 40 Fisken Avenue. The site is subject to Site-Specific By-law 841-2002 which, in addition to permitting the existing hospital, also secured a Privately-Owned Publically Accessible Open Space (POPS) located at the southeast corner of the site. The application proposes to expand the POPS space. A small renovation to the existing hospital is also proposed in this application to create additional interior space. The renovation includes an expansion of the hospital dining rooms by enclosing the terraces, and creating additional space for physiotherapy within the two open courtyards. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms to A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). The proposed use is consistent with the Official Plan's Institutional Lands land-use designation. The proposal, at 5-storeys in height, articulated with a stepback of the mechanical penthouse, represents a scale of development that is appropriate for the neighbourhood, fitting in with the surrounding lower-scaled built form character, enhancing the public realm, and serving to create much needed additional long-term care service in the city. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86, as amended for the lands at 625 Runnymede Road, 274 St. John's Road, and 40 Fisken Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (June 22, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2.

City Council authorizes the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required. 4. Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, require the owner to enter into an amending agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor, with such agreement to be registered on title to the lands at 625 Runnymede Road, 274 St. John's Road, and 40 Fisken Avenue in a manner satisfactory to the City Solicitor to be secured, as a legal convenience to support development, the additional 180 square metre Privately-Owned Publically Accessible Open Space (POPS) space abutting the existing 350 square metre POPS space at the northwest corner of St. John's Road and Fisken Avenue, as generally shown on the Site Plan attached as Attachment 7: Site Plan at the owner's sole cost and expense, subject to the following: a. the owner is to own, provide, operate, maintain, and repair the consolidated landscaping of 530 square metres, inclusive of the existing 350 square metres POPS at the northwest corner of St. John's Road and Fisken Avenue, and install and maintain a sign, at its own expense, stating that members of the public shall be entitled to use the POPS at all times of the day and night, 365 days of the year, and the specific location, configuration and design of the POPS shall be determined through the site plan approval process, pursuant to Section 114 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, and secured in a Site Plan Agreement with the City; and, b. in addition to the rights of public access to POPS as secured by the above provisions, the owner shall also grant an easement along the surface of the lands in a form and on terms acceptable to the City Solicitor, in perpetuity to the City, and at no cost to the City, to permit such public use of the publicly assessable open space. c. the owner shall construct and maintain the development in accordance with Tier 1 performance measures of the Toronto Green Standard, as adopted by Toronto City Council at its meeting held on October 26 and 27, 2009 through the adoption of item PG32.3 of the Planning and Growth Committee, and as updated by Toronto City Council at its meeting held on December 5, 6 and 7, 2017 through the adoption of item PG23.9 of the Planning and Growth Committee, and as may be further amended by City Council from time to time.

80-82 Bloor Street West - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Request for Direction Report
On August 3, 2017, the owner of the property at 80 Bloor Street West appealed its Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) due to Council's failure to enact the requested amendment within the time allotted by the Planning Act. On November 1, 2019 a new Official Plan Amendment (OPA) application (File No. 20 244311 STE 11 OZ) was submitted for an expanded site to include 82 Bloor Street West. Accompanying the new OPA for 80-82 Bloor Street West was a revised Zoning By-law Amendment application for the expanded site. On June 5, 2020, the Zoning By-law Amendment application was revised again, and the OPA application (File No. 20 244311 STE 11 OZ) was withdrawn. The application proposes a mixed-use development with two attached towers at 78 and 76-storeys (259.6 and 252.6 metres, respectively, including mechanical penthouse) with a shared 17-storey base building at 80-82 Bloor Street West. The proposal contains 1,430 residential units and 6,695 square metres of retail space on the concourse level, ground, second, and third floors. The existing 18-storey commercial/office building, and 4-storey commercial building, with approximately 19,875 square metres of office space would be demolished. A total of 215 resident vehicular parking spaces are to be provided in a 5-level underground parking garage accessible from Critchley Lane. This report recommends that Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to oppose the current proposal at the LPAT. The proposal does not provide any office replacement, does not provide an acceptable parkland dedication, does not transition in height and does not have an acceptable built form.

This report recommends that City Council include the property at 501 Vesta Drive on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. The property, originally owned and occupied by the renowned philanthropist, Lady Edith J. Baillie, is located on the east side of Vesta Drive near the junction with Forest Hill Road in the Forest Hill South neighbourhood. Prominently sited on a double lot, the Baillie house is an excellent representative of an Arts and Crafts movement house with Tudor Revival style details. Completed in 1930, the finely-crafted, two-and-a-half storey house was designed by the highly-regarded architect Douglas. E. Kertland. In November, 2018, the property was nominated for inclusion on the Heritage Register and designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. Following the sale of the property in June 2019, minor variance applications were submitted in September that involved the demolition of the existing house to allow for the construction of two new houses (one on each of the lots that comprise this property). City staff have completed research and evaluation of the property at 501 Vesta Drive and determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, for its design, associative and contextual value. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

Transportation Services is requesting approval to close the east sidewalk, the northbound and southbound bicycle lanes, and the east and west parking lanes on Logan Avenue abutting the site for a period of 10 months to accommodate construction staging operations. With the subject construction staging area in place, Logan Avenue, in the immediate vicinity of the site, will continue to operate with one northbound lane and one southbound lane. The bicycle lanes will have to be removed, so cyclists and motorists will travel single file in each direction. Signs indicating "Shared Use Lane Single File" will be installed to reflect this.

Pedestrian movements on the west side of Logan Avenue will be maintained on the existing sidewalk.
