17 St. Andrew Street - Zoning Amendment Application - Decision Report - Approval
This Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes to redevelop the lands at 17 St. Andrew Street with a 5-storey purpose-built rental apartment building, comprised of 283 square metres of retail space on the ground level and 72 rental dwelling units on the 2nd through 5th floors. A total of 103 bicycle parking spaces are proposed in the underground level and first floor, and one Type G loading space would be provided, accessed from St. Andrew Street. 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 Toronto Official Plan, and the Downtown Plan. The proposal presents an appropriate built form and contribution to the public realm that is compatible with the surrounding context. It has been revised, since its initial submission, to mitigate the impact on the public realm by reducing its proposed height and improving its transition to the neighbouring properties. The proposed retail space has also been redesigned to provide a better physical fit within the commercial context of Kensington Market.

18 Portland Street - Demolition of a Designated Property
This report recommends that City Council refuse an application under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act to demolish the historic Portland Substation building at 18 Portland Street. City Council has stated its intention to designate the subject property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A notice of intention to designate was served on the property owners and the Ontario Heritage Trust, and was published in accordance with the Act. The objection period ended on November 2, 2022. The City Clerk received a notice of objection on behalf of Davies Howe Land Development Advocacy & Litigation within the required timeframe set out in the Act. The Act requires that City Council consider and make a decision on an objection within 90 days from the end of the objection period. City Council may decide to withdraw, amend, or affirm its intention to designate. At its meeting on December 14, 2022 City Council affirmed its intention to designate the property at 18 Portland Street. Located on the southwest corner of Niagara Street and Portland Street in the King-Spadina neighbourhood, the former Portland Street Toronto Hydro-Electric System Substation, or Portland Substation, was once owned and operated by Toronto Hydro-Electric Systems Ltd. - a precursor to Toronto Hydro. The Portland Substation, completed in 1925 as a two-storey, factory/warehouse type structure, was designed by the public utility's in-house architect Albert E. Salisbury (1887-1955) and is part of a collection of more than twenty such substations by the architect built across the city between 1921 and 1950. The Portland Substation, like others by Salisbury, was designed in the Beaux-Arts tradition with Edwardian Classical influences. In close proximity to other early twentieth-century factory/warehouse type buildings, including several listed and Part IV designated properties, the Portland Substation is an important part of the industrial history of the King-Spadina neighbourhood. An application under Section 34 of the Act has been submitted to demolish this building in order to allow for the construction of a 22 storey mixed-use building with commercial units at grade and residential units above. Under the Act, if City Council fails to make a decision on the heritage permit application within 90 days of issuing a notice of a complete application, the application is deemed to be permitted under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act. In this case the applicant must be notified of Council's decision by March 30, 2023.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council refuse the issuance of a demolition permit for the heritage property at 18 Portland Street, in accordance with Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 2. If the owner appeals City Council's decision to refuse the issuance of a demolition permit under Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the heritage property at 18 Portland, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and the necessary City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing in opposition to the appeal.

The west sidewalk and a portion of the southbound curb lane on Jarvis Street are currently closed for construction staging operations. Pedestrian operations on the west side of Jarvis Street are maintained in a 1.7 metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the existing lane. City Council, at its meeting on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, approved the subject construction staging area, between McClear Place and a point 44 metres south, from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. At the time, the developer indicated they would require the staging area for a total of 27 months, from January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2024. As the previous permit was only approved for a 12-month period, and as the developer has had delays due to labour and supply issues, the developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Jarvis Street in order to complete the construction of the development. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area from February 8, 2023 to September 30, 2024 to allow for the construction of the development to be completed.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1.

Changing Parking Regulations for Mosques in Toronto Centre
Many residents in the Regent Park neighbourhood have reached out to my office regarding parking tickets being issued on Fridays during prayer times at local mosques. In order for the City of Toronto to champion equity, we must provide accommodation for all faiths, not just those observed on Sunday mornings. The city doesn't charge for parking on Sunday mornings until 1:00pm in most neighbourhoods. We have marginalised groups in our community whose needs must be addressed. This is the first step to a larger process that I want to undertake across the city to support multi-faith institutions including but not limited to mosques, synagogues and temples.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to investigate the feasibility and report back to the April 12, 2023 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on changing parking regulations to ensure that parking is free for at least one hour per vehicle between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. every Friday on the following streets: a. west side of Parliament Street between Shuter Street and Dundas Street; b. east side of Parliament Street between Shuter Street and St. David Street; and c. east and west Side of Parliament Street between Dundas Street and Oak Street.

Realignment of Permit Parking Area 4B to exclude the development address of 581 Bloor Street West
The exclusion of the development from the 4B permit parking area is a means to ensure that current permit holders have sufficient parking space.

Residents requested for the installation of speed humps more than a couple of years ago; however, the process was truncated due to an unfavourable poll.

No Stopping Prohibition on Hendrick Avenue south of Benson Avenue
I am writing to respectfully request a "No Stopping" prohibition on Hendrick Avenue south of Benson Avenue, to enhance safety for students at the McMurrich Junior Public School. Over a year ago, a driver hit a 3-year old McMurrich student, while driving a car at the intersection of Benson and Hendrick Avenues. This incident brought to light serious safety flaws at that particular intersection and around the school zone in general. One of the safety issues identified was parents dropping off and picking up their kids on Hendrick Avenue, which is dead end Street, and is not a designated loading area - creating gridlock and causing significant sightline issues for cars reversing. As a result, that strip has become very unsafe for students walking to school through the back entrance, designated only for pedestrians. My office has worked with traffic operations staff in coming up with these recommendations to address this safety issue.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Amended the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times, on the west side of Hendrick Avenue, between the south end of Hendrick Avenue and the first lane south of St. Clair Avenue West to be in effect between Benson Avenue and the first lane south of St. Clair Avenue West. 2. Prohibited stopping to be in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the west side of Hendrick Avenue, between the south end of Hendrick Avenue and Benson Avenue. 3. Prohibited parking to be in effect from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. of the next following day, Monday to Friday, and from 4:00 p.m. Friday to 8:00 a.m. of the following Monday, on the west side of Hendrick Avenue, between the south end of Hendrick Avenue and Benson Avenue.

Placement of a Temporary Crossing Guard at the Intersection of Oriole Parkway and Gormley Avenue
I am writing to respectfully request the placement of a temporary school crossing guard at the intersection of Oriole Parkway and Gormley Avenue. Active Traffic management staff informed my office a few months ago that the location is not warranted as per a technical analysis conducted, and that the guard will be withdrawn at the end of December 2022. The crossing guard has since been withdrawn, and the School Community has expressed serious concerns around this development-highlighting significant safety and design flaws with this intersection, such as insufficient sidewalk width, sightline constraints, to name but a few. Not to mention, the very busy nature of Oriole Parkway and the numerous concerns around speeding and other forms of reckless driver behaviour makes this request an imperative. On behalf of the School Community, I am requesting an override of the technical analysis to keep the guard in place until a safety audit is conducted by the Traffic Operations staff. We anticipate this should be completed within a year.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Overrode the technical analysis and authorized the placement of a temporary School Crossing Guard at the intersection of Oriole Parkway and Gormely Avenue for one year.

Goldenfield Brewery By-The-Glass Permit application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario
In January 2023, Toronto and East York Community Council approved a request from Goldenfield Brewery to obtain a Manufacturer's Limited Liquor Sale licence, which would allow for a "sales by the glass" permit for their brewery at 71 Sunrise Avenue. In following up with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, Goldenfield Winery was informed that they must obtain a By-the-Glass Endorsement for their Manufacturer´s Limited Liquor Sales Licence. The issuance of this endorsement requires a confirmation from Toronto City Council that it has passed a resolution in support of the endorsement.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council support the Goldenfield application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario for a Manufacturer's Limited, a manufacturing licence and its inherent authority to retail to the public licence at its 71 Sunrise Avenue location.

In 2019 City Council endorsed a plan about Toronto's Nighttime Economy. Due to the pandemic many of these initiatives were paused, but I expect they will be underway this term. While this is a city-wide strategy it is one that will primarily impact Toronto and East York communities. Liquor Licenses, patios, traffic and parking are all expected to be part of the Nighttime Economy Strategy. These issues are all routinely dealt with at TEYCC. Anticipating that a report may be coming in the near future I am hoping that TEYCC can be consulted on the elements of this initiative. I am hoping for your support for this recommendation.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to present to the February 23, 2023 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on development of the Nighttime Economy plan as it pertains to the duties of Community Council, including proposed contents, approval schedule, consultation plan, and any potential changes to existing by-laws.
