TE19.1adopted
This application proposes to construct a 6-storey, 192-bed long-term care addition to the University Health Network's (UHN) existing four-storey Lakeside Long-term Care Centre at 150 Dunn Avenue, and secure the rental tenure of all existing rental dwelling units located at 74 and 82 Dunn Avenue, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 Close Avenue and 74 and 78 Springhurst Avenue. The UHN owns the majority of properties in the block bounded by King Street West, Close Avenue, Dunn Avenue and Springhurst Avenue. The properties are developed with both institutional and house-form buildings, including the EW Bickle Centre for Complex Continuing Care, the existing Lakeside Long-term Care Centre, and the Sunflower House Child Care Centre fronting onto Dunn Avenue. UHN has indicated their intention to continue with institutional uses on these 130, 150, 160 and 162 Dunn Avenue properties for the foreseeable future. UHN has also indicated their intention to continue residential use on the house-form buildings fronting onto Close, Dunn and Springhurst Avenues. The original Zoning By-law Application proposed an O-shaped addition to the long-term care facility, inclusive of one level of underground parking, and comprised the lands at 130, 150, 160 and 162 Dunn Avenue. The UHN has revised their application, now proposing a C-shaped building with a south-facing courtyard, and removal of the underground parking. The revised proposal represents a scale of development that is appropriate for the neighbourhood, fits in with the built form character of various building types and heights within the surrounding area, and serves to create much needed additional long-term care service in the city. The revised proposal now includes all 17 properties within the block bounded by Dunn Avenue, Close Avenue, Springhurst Avenue, and King Street West. The revision of the application to include all UHN's properties is for the purpose of securing the rental tenure of all existing rental dwelling units contained within the buildings owned and operated by UHN in a Section 37 Agreement to be registered on title to the UHN lands. This proposal supports the City's objective of preserving affordable rental housing. This report is related to a separate report being prepared by the Housing Secretariat that is scheduled to be submitted to the October 20th Planning and Housing Committee meeting, and then considered at the October meeting of City Council. The Housing Secretariat report will set out a proposed framework for a City / UHN partnership to protect the existing residential uses on the UHN lands, and create new supportive housing opportunities as part of a larger future redevelopment of the lands. The first phase of that work is proposed to be a visioning and master planning exercise of the UHN lands in consultation with the local Councillor and community. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment Application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019). 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 74, 82, 130, 150, 160 and 162 Dunn Avenue, 74 and 78 Springhurst Avenue, and 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 Close Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (September 21, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2.

For clarity, such rental dwelling units that have been demolished or deemed uninhabitable were previously located at 1, 3 and 17 Close Avenue; e. Prior to final Site Plan Approval for the addition to the long-term care facility, the owner shall provide a Construction Mitigation and Tenant Communication Strategy and, thereafter, the owner shall implement such strategy; and f. Prior to issuance of any below grade permit, require the owner to submit a construction management plan to the satisfaction of the Manager, Transportation Services and the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, and thereafter shall implement the plan during the course of construction.

60 Mill Street - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Request for Direction Report
The purpose of this report is to request direction from City Council on the pending Local Planning Appeal Tribunal ("LPAT") hearing on the application to amend the Zoning By-law for the property at 60 Mill Street to permit a 31-storey building with a height of 115.1 metres, containing 392 hotel suites resulting in 26,944 square metres of non-residential gross floor area and 80 vehicular parking spaces within a 5-level underground garage. The existing Rack House D building, a heritage property designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and subject to a Heritage Easement Agreement, is proposed to be altered and incorporated as part of the development. Following a review of the application, staff have concluded that the proposed development is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and does not conform with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). Staff have also concluded the proposed development does not conform to the policy direction of the Official Plan and King-Parliament Secondary Plan. The proposal represents overdevelopment, does not respond appropriately to its existing and planned context and does not meet the city-wide Tall Building guidelines.

City Council authorize City staff to continue discussions with the applicant on a revised proposal, including a settlement at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, which addresses the issues set out in the report (September 21, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 3. In the event the Local Planning Tribunal allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal to withhold the issuance of any Order approving the Zoning By-law amendment until: a. The owner has provided draft by-laws in a form and with content satisfactory to the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the City Solicitor; b.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 80 and 84 Queen's Park under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into Heritage Easement Agreement(s) for these properties. This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 80 and 84 Queen's Park under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into Heritage Easement Agreement(s) for these properties. This report also recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties at 80 and 84 Queen's Park, in connection with a Zoning Amendment Application by the University of Toronto (UofT) to permit the construction of a new 9-storey institutional building for the University's Centre for Civilizations, Cultures and Cities ("CCC") at 78-90 Queen's Park. The new building would be situated in the interstitial space between Falconer Hall and the Edward Johnson Building. It would be integrated into the back of Falconer Hall with a link to the Edward Johnson Building. The conservation strategy for the heritage properties proposes to retain both the Edward Johnson Building at 80 Queen's Park and Falconer Hall at 84 Queen's Park but the McLaughlin Planetarium at 90 Queen's Park would be demolished. The proposed new 43m high building (including mechanical penthouse) would not affect any of the protected views of Queen's Park and it is setback approximately 36 metres from the Queen's Park frontage in order to lessen its visual impact on this important avenue that links Bloor Street to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The removal of McLaughlin Planetarium allows for improvements to the open space between Falconer Hall and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) which would enhance the views of its south entrance. In conjunction with the project, there would also be considerable enhancements to the public realm at the Queen's Park frontage and between the buildings. This report includes a detailed assessment of the heritage values and attributes of the subject property (see pages 12-30); a description of the proposed development and its impact on the heritage properties on the subject property (see pages 7-9); an analysis of the impact of the proposed changes to the heritage properties on the subject lands and on the adjacent properties in relation to the City's Official Plan policies (pages 31-6) and staff recommendations with respect to this proposal (pages 2-5). Statements of Significance for the properties recommended for Part IV designation under the Ontario Heritage Act are included in Attachments 4 and 5.

Alterations to a Property Designated Under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act - 32 Rowanwood Avenue
This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations to the heritage building, known as the Rosecourt Apartments, at 32 Rowanwood Avenue under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act. This building was constructed in 1912-1913 and is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the South Rosedale Heritage Conservation District (SRHCD). It is noted as a Category "C" building within SRHCD Study. Category "C" buildings have "contextual significance, which contribute to the heritage character of South Rosedale…" Prior to refurbishment works commencing on site this building contained nine rental apartment units. The proposal involves extensive alterations and a roof addition to increase the usable floor space within the building and add five new rental residential units. The alterations include: a fourth-storey addition; replacement of windows to match original windows; alterations to some original openings; introduction of new openings facing Rowanwood Avenue and the replacement of existing balconies and railings facing Rowanwood Avenue. Heritage Planning has worked with the applicant to ensure that the proposed alterations meet the general intent of the SRHCD Study's guidelines and will not have a negative impact on the existing heritage building and existing context within the SRHCD. The applicant still needs to apply for approval under the Planning Act (minor variance and site plan approval) and therefore this application relates solely to the approval that is required under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act.

Designation of a Property on the Heritage Register - 155 Wychwood Avenue
On June 8, 2020 the owners of 155 Wychwood Avenue submitted a planning application to construct an 8-storey mixed-use building. The development requires demolition of the former Wychwood-Davenport Presbyterian Church. The church, constructed in 1937, is a representative example of an early 20th-century religious building designed in the Neo-Gothic style. It is historically linked to the development of the Wychwood neighbourhood and stands as a local landmark anchoring the northeast corner of St. Clair Avenue West and Wychwood Avenue, where it forms an institutional enclave with neighbouring church complexes. The property was added to the City's Heritage Register by City Council at its meeting of January 29 and 30, 2008. In conjunction with the planning application, the owner served the City with a Notice of Intention to Demolish a Listed Property. Under Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act, a property owner must give City Council a 60 day notice of the intention to demolish any building or structure on a property that is included on the City's Heritage Register. Once 60 days has expired the owner can receive a demolition permit if City Council has not designated the property and all other Ontario Building Code requirements have been fulfilled. Although the notice to demolish the former church was received in June 2020, timelines under the Ontario Heritage Act were temporarily suspended as a consequence of the March 2020 provincial Declaration of Emergency related to the COVID-19 crisis. Statutory timelines are intended to commence after September 11, 2020. Therefore, in order to prevent the demolition of the listed church, City Council must issue a Notice of Intention to Designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act by November 10, 2020. This report recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council direct the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning to prepare a Statement of Significance for the October 27-28, 2020 meeting of City Council.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Deferred consideration of the item until the December 2, 2020 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.
Staff recommendation as filed
The Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning recommends that: 1. That Toronto and East York Community Council direct the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, City Planning, to report directly to City Council at its meeting of October 27 and 28, 2020 on the Intention to Designate 155 Wychwood Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, including an updated Statement of Significance and Heritage Attributes.
