City-initiated Official Plan Amendment - Lower Don Flood Protection - Final Report
This report proposes amendments to the City of Toronto Official Plan and Former City of Toronto Official Plan to remove a barrier for the City to enter into future agreements with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to transfer City-owned lands to the TRCA that are designated Parks, Parks and Open Space Areas or Other Parks and Open Space as part of undertaking flood protection works in the Lower Don River area. Official Plan Amendments are required because the lands are designated Parks and Open Space Areas in both the Official Plan and the former City of Toronto Official Plan. The sale or disposal of City-owned Parks and Open Space Areas is prohibited and the granting of an easement exceeding a period of 21 years is a form of disposal that is not permitted. The Official Plan amendments do not propose any changes in land use designation or reduction in the City's Green Space System. As well, these Official Plan Amendments will allow the City to enter into future agreements with utility companies, federal or provincial government agencies or boards, and Crown corporations to permit the establishment of easements or the transfer of City-owned lands for the construction of City-building infrastructure projects within the Lower Don River area. The OPA area, as specified in Attachment 1, is the general location of flood protection works in the Lower Don River area and does not represent the specific lands that may be the subject of future negotiations for the disposal of City-owned lands. This report does not recommend and will not result in the declaration of surplus any City-owned lands. Staff are planning a comprehensive report on end-state land transactions that will be required following the completion of Port Lands Flood Protection in 2024. This report will be coordinated by the Waterfront Secretariat and will involve staff from CREM, Legal Services, City Planning, CreateTO, TRCA and a number of the City's operating Divisions. The report will address the transactions that are necessary in relation to the completion and operation of new roads, parks, water and wastewater infrastructure, etc. Real Estate Services advises that additional Council authority will be required for any City lands to be declared surplus for the purposes of granting a permanent easement, a transfer of title, or any other disposal of City lands contemplated within any future City Planning report, in accordance with applicable City by-laws and procedures. The report reviews and recommends approval of amendments to the Official Plans for these purposes.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the Official Plan, for the lands in the Lower Don River area, substantially in accordance with the proposed Official Plan Amendment attached as Amendment 5 to the report (November 16, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2. City Council amend the former City of Toronto Official Plan, for the lands in the Lower Don River area, substantially in accordance with the proposed Official Plan Amendment attached as Amendment 6 to the report (November 16, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 3.

This application proposes to amend the City's Zoning By-laws 569-2013 and 438-86 for the former City of Toronto to permit the development of the lands at 1540-1550 Bloor Street West for a 25-storey (80.6 metres high plus 6 metre mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building. The proposal includes 327 dwelling units, of which 12 would be affordable rental replacement units, 25,638 square metres of residential gross floor area and 807 square metres of commercial gross floor area. The proposed total gross floor area of 26,445 square metres would result in a density of 10.72 times the area of the lot. The proposal would incorporate a two level below grade garage with a total of 100 vehicular parking spaces. Also, a total of 337 bicycle parking spaces are proposed. An associated application for Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act (Chapter 667 of the Municipal Code) has been submitted. The application proposes to demolish 12 existing affordable rental dwelling units on the lands, all of which would be replaced within the proposed development. The application was deemed complete on December 20, 2019. The Zoning By-law Amendment application was appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") on June 26, 2020, due to the City's failure to make a decision within the prescribed time period set out in the Planning Act. The first Case Management Conference at LPAT took place on October 29, 2020. A second Case Management Conference is scheduled for February 10, 2021; and ten-day hearing is scheduled to commence on July 5, 2021. The report recommends that the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff, and other appropriate City Staff, attend the LPAT in opposition to the current proposal. As proposed, the application 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), does not conform with the Official Plan, implement the findings of the Bloor-Dundas Avenue Study, or the Tall Buildings Urban Design Guidelines, and does not represent good planning. Staff are recommending that discussions continue with the applicant to resolve the issues identified in this report. Staff recommend that Council defer its decision on the application for Rental Housing Demolition under Chapter 667 of the Municipal Code pursuant to Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act, as the proposed development is not supported by Planning staff. Council's decision under this statute is not appealable to LPAT. Following the LPAT decision on the appeal of the Zoning By-law Amendment application, the Section 111 permit application will return to Council for consideration, if necessary.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and other appropriate staff, to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment at 1540-1550 Bloor Street West in its current form. 2. City Council direct City Staff to continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve the outstanding matters as identified in the report (November 13, 2020) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District 3. City Council defer making a decision on Rental Housing Demolition application No. 19 263430 STE O4 RH under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code pursuant to Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, to allow for the demolition of the 12 existing rental dwelling units at 1540-1550 Bloor Street West, and instruct staff, if necessary, to report on the Rental Housing Demolition Application to Toronto and East York Community Council at such time as an LPAT decision has been issued regarding the Zoning By-law Amendment application for the lands at 1540-1550 Bloor Street West, if necessary. 4. In the event that the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal allows the appeal, in whole or in part, City Council direct the City Solicitor to request Local Planning Appeal Tribunal to withhold the issuance of any Order(s) on the Zoning By-law Amendment appeal for the subject lands until such time as the City Solicitor has advised the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal that: a. The owner has addressed all outstanding engineering issues outlined in the memorandum dated October 16, 2020, and any other comments that may arise further to the review of materials submitted as part of the process to address the issues set out in the memorandum dated October 15, 2020 from Engineering and Construction Services to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, and the General Manager; b. The owner must include in the zoning by-law, a requirement to provide space within the development for installation of maintenance access holes and sampling ports on the private side, for both storm and sanitary service connections, to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, and the General Manager. c. The owner will be required to make satisfactory arrangements with Engineering and Construction Services and enter into a financially secured Development Agreement for the construction of any improvements to the municipal infrastructure, should it be determined that upgrades are required to the infrastructure to support this development, according to the Site Servicing Review and Traffic Impact Study accepted by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services. d. The owner has provided a revised Functional Servicing Report and Stormwater Management Report, satisfactory to the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; e.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the listed heritage properties that contains significant built heritage resources at 41 Fraser Avenue, 47 Fraser Avenue and 135 Liberty Street (including the entrance addresses at 39, 47A, 49, 49A, 53 and 53A Fraser Avenue and 38 and 42 Pardee Avenue), formerly known as E. W. Gillett Co. Ltd. factory complex, under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Originally developed as a single property known as 41 Fraser Avenue, the properties occupy the north end of the block and are bound by Fraser Avenue, Liberty Street and Pardee Avenue on the west, north and east sides respectively. They contain a large complex of industrial buildings including the original, four-storey factory, two-storey office building and one-storey powerhouse, all constructed in 1911-12. The employee welfare building of 1922 and the single-storey, garage-storage building of 1941-2 were later additions. 41 Fraser Avenue was severed in 2004 and is now known as three properties identified as 41 Fraser Avenue, 47 Fraser Avenue and 135 Liberty Street. In 2005, the properties were listed on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register as 41 Fraser Avenue. The properties are located within historic Liberty Village which following the Great Fire of 1904 developed as a significant industrial and manufacturing hub in the City of Toronto. Following city staff's additional research and evaluation under Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, it has been determined that the properties at 41 and 47 Fraser Avenue and 135 Liberty Street merit designation under Part IV Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. The additional research identified the powerhouse, which is not currently included in the listing as a heritage attribute on the property at 41 Fraser Avenue. The designation of the former E. W. Gillett Co. Ltd. factory complex on the properties at 41 and 47 Fraser Avenue and 135 Liberty Street would identify all of the properties' cultural heritage values and heritage attributes which shall be conserved. Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations for the properties, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

City Council amend the listing of the property at 41 Fraser Avenue to include the Powerhouse as a heritage attribute on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. 2.

Following further research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A mixed-use development is proposed for the listed heritage property at 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East. The Province and the City's Official Plan policies seek the conservation of cultural heritage resources.

Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 41 Spadina Road
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act the listed heritage property, an apartment building, located at 41 Spadina Road (including the entrance addresses at 45 Spadina Road), known as Spadina Gardens for its design, associative and contextual value. Spadina Gardens is one of Toronto's earliest apartment buildings. Constructed in 1905-6, it is representative of a new housing type that responded to the City's growing population demands and provided rental accommodation for a more inclusive range of householders. Designed by the prolific Toronto architect, Arthur Richard Denison (1857-1923) in the Edwardian Classical style, its apartment layouts have proved to be an enduring alternative to the single family house. For the past century, its residents have included leaders from the City's arts, political and financial communities. Anchoring the south-east corner of Lowther Avenue and Spadina Road, the property's low-rise scale, architectural detail, and landscaped setting set an important precedent as it increased density while maintaining the character of the surrounding Annex neighbourhood. Spadina Gardens' cultural heritage value was recognized as early as 1979, when it was listed on the City of Toronto's Heritage Inventory. Following city staff's additional research and evaluation under Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, it has been determined that the property at 41 Spadina Road merits designation under Part IV Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. The property is included within the boundary of the West Annex Phase 2 Heritage Conservation District (HCD) study area authorized by City Council in 2018. The individual designation of the Spadina Gardens apartment building at 41 Spadina Road would identify all of the property's cultural heritage values and heritage attributes including interior features which shall be conserved. Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations for the property, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 41 Spadina Road including the entry address at 45 Spadina Road, under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 41 Spadina Road (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (November 9, 2020) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning. 2. If there are no objections to the designation, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 3. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the designations to the Conservation Review Board. 4. If the designations are referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council's decision to designate the properties.

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 Item was withdrawn from the agenda.
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.

This report recommends that City Council include 325 properties identified in Recommendations 1 and 2 of this report on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The properties are all located within the West Queen West and Parkdale Main Street Areas and were identified through the Queen Street West Planning Study, which resulted in the Official Plan Amendment No.445 (Site and Area Specific Policy No. 566) that was adopted by City Council in September 2020. OPA 445 was developed through a collaborative consultation process alongside the West Queen West HCD Study, to ensure that the OPA 445 and future HCD Plans function in a co-ordinated manner to support a vibrant, livable, walkable and sustainable main street in the West Queen West and Parkdale Main Street Areas. The West Queen West Area is an important historic main street in Toronto, and has an historic context that reflects the western expansion of the growing city and the irregular subdivision and development of the privately-owned park lots to the north and the publicly-owned Garrison Reserves to the south. The street has maintained a strong sense of place and character, functioning as both a main street as well as an arts and design district. The Parkdale Main Street Area is an important civic and commercial centre with an historic context that reflects the rapid growth and development of the Town of Parkdale with the construction of the North Parkdale Station and supports the present-day community of Parkdale as it continues to support diverse main street activities and a distinct sense of place for the neighbourhood. The properties being recommended for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register were initially identified as contributing to the cultural heritage value of the area during the West Queen West Heritage Conservation District Study (HCD) report which was accepted by the Toronto Preservation Board in June 2017 and endorsed for the preparation of the West Queen West Heritage Conservation District Plan and the Parkdale Main Street Heritage Conservation District Plan. The HCD Plans are currently under development by City Planning and we anticipate their release in Q1 2021. The multiple-listing process is an efficient and effective practice to recognize properties that are believed to be of cultural heritage value and which provide people with a sense of place in their neighbourhood. All of the recommended listed properties meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City applies when assessing properties for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register. Non-designated listed properties do not have any protection under the Ontario Heritage Act, except insofar as an owner must give Council at least 60 days' notice of their intention to demolish or remove a structure on the property. This allows the municipality time to decide whether to move forward with designation of the property under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the following two hundred and fifteen properties within the West Queen West Area on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register: 592 Queen Street West 600 Queen Street West 606 Queen Street West 616 Queen Street West 620 Queen Street West 626 Queen Street West 632 Queen Street West 634 Queen Street West 636 Queen Street West 638 Queen Street West 640 Queen Street West 644 Queen Street West 646 Queen Street West 648 Queen Street West 650 Queen Street West 650 1/2 Queen Street West 673 Queen Street West 675 Queen Street West 676 Queen Street West 678 Queen Street West 680 Queen Street West 682 Queen Street West 684 Queen Street West 687 Queen Street West 689 Queen Street West 691 Queen Street West 690 Queen Street West 692 Queen Street West 693 Queen Street West 694 Queen Street West 695 Queen Street West 696 Queen Street West 697 Queen Street West 698 Queen Street West 699 Queen Street West 700 Queen Street West 701 Queen Street West 702 Queen Street West 703 Queen Street West 703A Queen Street West 704 Queen Street West 705 Queen Street West 706 Queen Street West 708 Queen Street West 710 Queen Street West 712 Queen Street West 715 Queen Street West 717 Queen Street West 719 Queen Street West 720 Queen Street West 721 Queen Street West 722 Queen Street West 723 Queen Street West 724 Queen Street West 726 Queen Street West 728 Queen Street West 730 Queen Street West 732 Queen Street West 735 Queen Street West 740 Queen Street West 744 Queen Street West 745 Queen Street West 746 Queen Street West 749 Queen Street West 750 Queen Street West 752 Queen Street West 753 Queen Street West 754 Queen Street West 756 Queen Street West 757 Queen Street West 758 Queen Street West 760 Queen Street West 762 Queen Street West 764 Queen Street West 765 Queen Street West 766 Queen Street West 770 Queen Street West 775 Queen Street West 777 Queen Street West 779 Queen Street West 781 Queen Street West 783 Queen Street West 785 Queen Street West 787 Queen Street West 789 Queen Street West 791 Queen Street West 793 Queen Street West 795 Queen Street West 797 Queen Street West 799 Queen Street West 801 Queen Street West 803 Queen Street West 805 Queen Street West 807 Queen Street West 809 Queen Street West 811 Queen Street West 813 Queen Street West 815 Queen Street West 819 Queen Street West 821 Queen Street West 823 Queen Street West 825 Queen Street West 827 Queen Street West 829 Queen Street West 831 Queen Street West 833 Queen Street West 859 Queen Street West 861 Queen Street West 863 Queen Street West 865 Queen Street West 867 Queen Street West 869 Queen Street West 870 Queen Street West 872 Queen Street West 874 Queen Street West 875 Queen Street West 876 Queen Street West 877 Queen Street West 878 Queen Street West 881 Queen Street West 882 Queen Street West 883 Queen Street West 884 Queen Street West 886 Queen Street West 887 Queen Street West 888 Queen Street West 889 Queen Street West 890 Queen Street West 892 Queen Street West 893 Queen Street West 894 Queen Street West 895 Queen Street West 900 Queen Street West 907 Queen Street West 913 Queen Street West 915 Queen Street West 917 Queen Street West 919 Queen Street West 920 Queen Street West 921 Queen Street West 922 Queen Street West 923 Queen Street West 925 Queen Street West 927 Queen Street West 929 Queen Street West 934 Queen Street West 935 Queen Street West 936 Queen Street West 940 Queen Street West 942 Queen Street West 955 Queen Street West 960 Queen Street West 962 Queen Street West 974 Queen Street West 978 Queen Street West 980 Queen Street West 982 Queen Street West 984 Queen Street West 986 Queen Street West 988 Queen Street West 990 Queen Street West 992 Queen Street West 993 Queen Street West 994 Queen Street West 996 Queen Street West 998 Queen Street West 1018 Queen Street West 1024 Queen Street West 1026 Queen Street West 1030 Queen Street West 1048 Queen Street West 1068 Queen Street West 1070 Queen Street West 1072 Queen Street West 1074 Queen Street West 1078 Queen Street West 1080 Queen Street West 1082 1/2 Queen Street West 1084 Queen Street West 1086 Queen Street West 1086 1/2 Queen Street West 1092 Queen Street West 1094 Queen Street West 1098 Queen Street West 1100 Queen Street West 1112 Queen Street West 1114 Queen Street West 1116 Queen Street West 1118 Queen Street West 1120 Queen Street West 1122 Queen Street West 1128 Queen Street West 1130 Queen Street West 1132 Queen Street West 1134 Queen Street West 1150 Queen Street West 1154 Queen Street West 1156 Queen Street West 1158 Queen Street West 1160 Queen Street West 1162 Queen Street West 1164 Queen Street West 1166 Queen Street West 1168 Queen Street West 1170 Queen Street West 1172 Queen Street West 1174 Queen Street West 1176 Queen Street West 1186 Queen Street West 1190 Queen Street West 1192 Queen Street West 1194 Queen Street West 1196 Queen Street West 1198 Queen Street West 1200 Queen Street West 2.

This report recommends that City Council include 162 properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. These properties were identified through the Dundas Street West and Roncesvalles Avenue Built Form Study, completed and adopted by City Council in 2018, and which was subsequently appealed and subject to settlement at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register. Roncesvalles Avenue and Dundas Street West are two significant commercial main streets in the west end of Toronto which have historically and continue to serve the surrounding community with a vibrant and varied mix of uses. Roncesvalles Avenue developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as transportation infrastructure drew residents to the adjacent neighbourhoods, while Dundas Street West's development can be traced back to its initial purpose as a major arterial road heading westward out of the city and connecting to other communities along the north shore of Lake Ontario. The area's historic context reflects waves of development and settlement, and supports a lively and dynamic streetscape composed of commercial main street buildings, adaptively reused houses, apartment buildings, and institutions. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register will extend interim protection from demolition, should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties.

Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - Forest Hill Village Properties
This report recommends that City Council include 15 properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. These properties were identified through the Forest Hill Village Urban Design Guidelines study, completed and adopted by City Council in 2015. All properties identified within the heritage survey area have been reviewed for changes since the survey was completed. The properties being recommended for inclusion within this report have all been determined to have contextual value, at minimum. Additional cultural heritage values could be determined through further evaluation. A Historic Context Statement was developed building upon work completed for the urban design study to provide an understanding of the themes and periods of development within the study area. It also related properties to one another in order to inform the identification of buildings and landscapes with cultural heritage value. The Village of Forest Hill was established as a bedroom community for middle- and upper-middle class residents in the 1920s, which actively put limits to industrial uses in the village. Forest Hill Village's centre, a historic context that has largely remained to the present day, is characterized by a concentration of commercial uses around the four corners of Spadina Road and Lonsdale Avenue, providing convenience goods for the residents of Forest Hill. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register will extend interim protection from demolition, should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties. Listing provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the following 15 properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register: · 327 Lonsdale Road · 385 Spadina Road · 387 Spadina Road · 389 Spadina Road · 393 Spadina Road · 414 Spadina Road · 416 Spadina Road · 417 Spadina Road · 418 Spadina Road · 448 Spadina Road · 462 Spadina Road · 464 Spadina Road · 466 Spadina Road · 467 Spadina Road · 469 Spadina Road

Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - King-Parliament Area Properties
This report recommends that City Council include 257 properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. These properties were identified through the King-Parliament Secondary Plan Review, and included in the proposed King-Parliament Secondary Plan report to City Council in October 2019. Staff undertook a Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) of the Secondary Plan Area, and prepared an historic context statement and heritage survey to identify existing and potential heritage properties. This review did not include the area included within the Council-adopted St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (HCD), or the proposed Distillery District HCD. The King-Parliament area includes some of Toronto's oldest neighbourhoods and commercial and industrial areas. Within its boundaries are cultural heritage resources, including built heritage, cultural heritage landscapes, and archaeology that reflect the long evolution of the area, from ancient Indigenous habitation through the late-18th century founding of the Town of York, to the present day. The contemporary road network and built form of the area reflects its evolution from a primarily residential and commercial area in the first half of the 19th century, to a commercial and industrial area with pockets of working class housing by the end of the 20th century. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register will extend interim protection from demolition, should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties. Listing provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register.

This report recommends that City Council include 165 properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. These properties were identified through the Danforth Avenue Planning Study (Coxwell Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue) - Official Plan Amendment 420 adopted by Council in 2018 and is now in force as of February 2020 following mediation at the LPAT on December 4 and 5, 2019. Danforth Avenue, from Coxwell Avenue to just east of Woodbine Avenue, is defined by a largely intact early twentieth-century streetscape, characterized by a predominantly main street building type - rows of two-storey brick storefront buildings articulated by intermittent three-storey block buildings. The consistency of this streetscape is a result of its rapid development over a short period of time in the 1910s and 1920s due the annexation of this portion of Danforth Avenue in 1909, the expansion of streetcar service to the area in 1913, the sale of large parts of the Clergy Reserve in the same year, and the completion of the Prince Edward Viaduct over the Don River in 1918. Including non-designated properties in the municipal register is a means to identify properties that have cultural heritage value or interest to the community. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register will extend interim protection from demolition, should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register.

This report recommends that City Council include nine properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. These properties were identified as warranting further evaluation through the Cabbagetown Southwest Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study, completed and endorsed by the Toronto Preservation Board in 2019. The properties were located within the Cabbagetown HCD Study Area, however fall within a portion of the study area that was subsequently excluded from the proposed Cabbagetown Southwest HCD. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register will extend interim protection from demolition, should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties. Listing provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the following nine properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register: 188 Berkeley Street 190 Berkeley Street 200 Berkeley Street 209 Berkeley Street 210 Berkeley Street 211 Berkeley Street 212 Berkeley Street 221 Berkeley Street 210 Ontario Street

Construction Staging Area - 99 Blue Jays Way (Mercer Street)
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority to make a final decision provided that it is not amended so that it varies with City policy or by-laws. BJW Residences Limited Partnership is constructing a 47-storey residential development building at 99 Blue Jays Way. The site is located on the southeast corner of Blue Jays Way and Mercer Street. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to close the south sidewalk and a three-metre-wide portion of the eastbound curb lane on Mercer Street, between Blue Jays Way and a point 62 metres east, for a period of 18 months (i.e., December 3, 2020 to May 31, 2022) to accommodate a construction staging area. In addition, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to close a one-metre-wide portion of the westbound curb lane on the first lane south of Mercer Street, east of Blue Jays Way, between Blue Jays Way and a point 62 metres east, for a period of 18 months (i.e., December 3, 2020 to May 31, 2022) to accommodate a construction staging area. As a result of the proposed staging area, the width of the laneway will be reduced to four-metres in width at its narrowest point. As a result, it is recommended that the laneway be designated as one-way eastbound/northbound traffic. Pedestrian movements on the south side of Mercer Street abutting the site will be restricted and pedestrians will be directed to the north side sidewalk of Mercer Street. A temporary pedestrian walkway along the closed portion of the west sidewalk could not be installed due to insufficient roadway width to maintain both the temporary walkway and one-way traffic operation on Mercer Street. Pedestrian operations on the east side of Blue Jays Way will be maintained in a 2.1-metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the existing sidewalk. The construction staging area on Mercer Street will result in the loss of one eastbound traffic lane that is currently designated for on-street parking, resulting in the loss of approximately six parking machine spaces.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the closure of the south sidewalk and a three-metre-wide portion of the eastbound curb lane on Mercer Street, between Blue Jays Way and a point 62 metres east from December 3, 2020 to May 31, 2022. 2. Authorized the closure of a one-metre-wide portion of the most northerly westbound curb lane on the first lane south of Mercer Street, east of Blue Jays Way, between Blue Jays Way Mercer Street and a point 62 metres east, from December 3, 2020 to May 31, 2022. 3. Designated the public lane system bounded by Blue Jays Way, Mercer Street, John Street and Wellington Street West as one-way eastbound/northbound. 4. Rescinded the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday at a rate of $4.00 per hour and for a maximum period of three hours, on the south side of Mercer Street, between Blue Jays Way and point 67.5 metres east. 5. Rescinded the existing parking machine regulation in effect from 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., Monday to Saturday, and 1:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Sunday, at a rate of $4.00 per hour and for a maximum period of six hours, on the south side of Mercer Street, between Blue Jays Way and point 67.5 metres east. 6.

Parking Amendments - Booth Avenue
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services recommends amending the existing maximum one-hour parking regulation in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday on the west side of Booth Avenue, between Eastern Avenue and Louis Kesten Lane, to be in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday. The proposed change will align the operating times of the maximum one-hour parking regulation with the operating times of the permit parking regulation.

Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - Ossington Avenue Properties
This report recommends that City Council include 38 properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The majority of these properties were identified through the Ossington Avenue Planning Study, completed and adopted by City Council in 2013, and which came into force following a decision from the Ontario Municipal Board in 2014. The remaining properties were identified by Staff when refining the Ossington Avenue Historic Context Statement. Many of these properties were nominated to Toronto and East York Community Council in 2015 for heritage evaluation to determine whether they merit inclusion on the Heritage Register. Ossington Avenue, between Queen Street West and Dundas Street West, is an historic main street that was previously part of the Dundas Street highway and a major arterial road heading westward from the Town of York and, later, City of Toronto. Its present-day context is defined by a prevalence of main street commercial row and block building types, with institutional uses at its southern point and an evolving contemporary urban character. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register will extend interim protection from demolition, should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties. Listing provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the following 38 properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register: 45 Ossington Avenue 47 Ossington Avenue 49 Ossington Avenue 51 Ossington Avenue 53 Ossington Avenue 55 Ossington Avenue 57 Ossington Avenue 59 Ossington Avenue 61 Ossington Avenue 129 Ossington Avenue 130 Ossington Avenue 132 Ossington Avenue 134 Ossington Avenue 135 Ossington Avenue 136 Ossington Avenue 138 Ossington Avenue 148 Ossington Avenue 154 Ossington Avenue 199 Ossington Avenue 201 Ossington Avenue 203 Ossington Avenue 205 Ossington Avenue 207 Ossington Avenue 209 Ossington Avenue 210 Ossington Avenue 211 Ossington Avenue 213 Ossington Avenue 214 Ossington Avenue 215 Ossington Avenue 216 Ossington Avenue 217 Ossington Avenue 218 Ossington Avenue 219 Ossington Avenue 220 Ossington Avenue 221 Ossington Avenue 222 Ossington Avenue 223 Ossington Avenue 224 Ossington Avenue

Improvements to Bathurst Street and Harbord Street Intersection
The intersection of Bathurst Street and Harbord Street is one that has historically been a source of concern for local residents as it handles a great deal of vulnerable public transit users, pedestrians and cyclists with it's proximity to a high school and all of these modes of transit. Over the past year, multiple vehicular collisions and near-misses have been reported to my office which is highly concerning. I have been working with the local resident associations surrounding this busy intersection to support their suggestions for safety improvements and know that we must act in an expedient manner to prevent future danger from speeding vehicles. We must not allow a needless tragedy to occur before we take action and ensure that our Transportation Services budget is allocated to improving safety for all road users, especially the most vulnerable including pedestrians and cyclists.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services, to conduct a safety review of the intersection of Bathurst Street and Harbord Street, looking at any mitigating measures that would improve safety, both short term and long term. 2.

Re-Open TE14.38 - Construction Staging Area - 112 College Street
EllisDon Corporation is constructing a 13-storey institutional building (the new University of Toronto Schwartz Reisman Innovation Centre) at 112 College Street. The site is located on the north side of College Street, east of University Avenue. The north sidewalk and a portion of the westbound curb lane on College Street, abutting the site, is currently closed for construction staging operations. Toronto City Council at its meeting on June 29 and 30, 2020 authorized the subject construction staging area on College Street from July 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021. The developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on College Street, as the site has experienced a number of construction delays due to issues arising from COVID-19. EllisDon Cooperation is requesting to extend the duration of the construction staging area on College Street for an additional seven months (i.e. from February 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021), to allow for the construction of the development to be completed. Transportation Services has been consulted and have no objections to the proposal.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council re-open Item TE14.38 entitled "Construction Staging Area - 112 College Street" only with respect to Parts 1 and 2 of its decision. 2. City Council amend City Council Recommendations 1 and 2 by deleting "January 31, 2021" and replacing it with "August 31, 2021" so that the recommendations now read: 1.

Traffic Light - Dufferin Street, at Goodwood Avenue and Cloverlawn Avenue
Residents in the Earlscourt and Northcliffe Village neighbourhoods have contacted my office with concerns about speeding on Dufferin Street between Rogers Road and St. Clair Avenue West. Many of our residents need to cross Dufferin Street daily, including children going to and returning from school near Goodwood and Cloverlawn Avenue. Because of high speeds, travelling along Dufferin Street has created unsafe conditions for area residents and disrupted the ability of students to take a safe walking route to school. In the wintertime, the narrowing of sidewalks coupled with an accumulation of snow and ice pose an additional risk to pedestrians. With the support of my office, community members have taken up a petition to have a traffic light installed on Dufferin Street at Goodwood and Cloverlawn Avenue to mitigate these and other safety concerns. I reached out to Traffic Operations and asked them for guidance on these issues and to make recommendations to address them. As a result, and after having consulted with area residents, I am recommending that we move to investigate the feasibility of their request to have a traffic light installed, as outlined below.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Directed Transportation Services staff to investigate and to report back on the feasibility of having a traffic signal installed on Dufferin Street at Goodwood Avenue and Cloverlawn Avenue.

Parking Amendments - Western Battery Road
Construction staging on the north-south portion of Western Battery Rd is removed and residents have taken occupancy at 19 Western Battery Rd, resulting in traffic flow issues on the north-south portion of the street just north of East Liberty St. The current bylaws are the ones that were in place during construction which replaced the Permit Parking and Pay and Display on the east side and No Parking Anytime on the west side.

In July 2018, City Council approved the St. James Town Connects Framework, which aims to "improve St. James Town's public realm and open space by creating safer, greener and more usable open spaces and pedestrian connections." (St. James Town Connects Framework- St. James Town Public Realm and Open Space Plan - Final Report, June 26, 2018: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2018/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-118070.pdf). The Framework outlines ten Key Projects to accomplish these aims including enhancing streetscapes and improving mid-block connections. The key project that is the subject of this motion are improvements to the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) Open Space and public realm and improvements to Ontario Street South. This motion seeks authority for the City to enter into a Design Services Funding Agreement with TCHC, and authority to transfer up to $0.515 million from the 2020 Council Approved Capital Budget and 2021-2029 Capital Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation to TCHC for the design of TCHC-owned open space, public realm and Ontario Street in St. James Town. Proposed Project The subject land is owned by TCHC and comprises a large open space, Ontario Street, and the public realm surrounding the TCHC buildings located at 275 Bleeker Street and 200 Wellesley Street East. See Attachment A. The open space will become a City park (limits yet to be defined) under a lease agreement with TCHC on terms and conditions to be negotiated by the parties. Transportation Services will be involved in designing Ontario Street with consideration for the St. James Town Connects vision to extend the street northward to Howard Street. Both the open space and Ontario Street are to be operated and maintained by the City of Toronto. The majority of the TCHC-owned open space is encumbered as it is located over an underground garage. Garage renovations are scheduled for 2021-2022. Thereafter, the open space, Ontario Street and the public realm surrounding the TCHC buildings will be re-constructed between 2023-2025. Following construction, the City will enter into a lease agreement with TCHC for the open space and Ontario Street. The concept for the future park and improved public realm was included in the St. James Town Connects report and includes a natural playspace and water play area, an open stage, a barbeque area, large open lawn, games room, community gardens and a market area. See Attachment A. The City and TCHC are partnering to design and construct the future park and public realm. TCHC has issued a Request for Design Consultant Proposal for the subject land. The contract will be with TCHC but the City (Parks, Forestry and Recreation and Transportation Services) and TCHC will collaborate as partners on the project management, design, and construction of the project. The St. James Town neighbourhood is one of the densest areas in the City of Toronto, but aside from 2 parkettes (one existing and one under construction), there is very little public parkland. There are also many equity-seeking groups who live in the area, including children, seniors, low-income residents, single family households, and many recent immigrants. The opportunity to secure a large public park directly within the community is unprecedented. Reuse of this open space asset as a park will offer this high density, high needs community much needed park and public open space. City-TCHC Funding Agreement The 2020 Council Approved Capital Budget and 2021-2029 Capital Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation include a project cost of $5.130 million for the St. James Town Open Space in the Park Development project, with approved cash flow of $0.515 million in 2021 for design and future planned cash flow of $0.615 million in 2022 and $4.0 million in 2023 for construction. The City's funding is from the Section 37 community benefits received from 6 - 16 Glen Road, 4 - 100 Howard Street, and 603 - 611 Sherbourne Street (source account: XR3026-3701030). TCHC's budget for the above base components of the project is $1.22 million. The City's funds are required at present because the Request for Design Consultant Proposal has been issued by TCHC and the project will begin as soon as a consultant is hired. This Motion seeks authority for the City to enter into a Design Services Funding Agreement with TCHC and authority to transfer up to $0.515 million from the 2020 Council Approved Capital Budget and 2021-2029 Capital Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation to TCHC for project design costs. The transfer of funds will be contingent upon TCHC and the City agreeing to the major terms of a lease agreement which will be appended to the Design Services Funding Agreement. These major terms will not constitute the lease itself but will include, for example, major terms such as the length of the lease, maintenance, insurance and repairs, and other conditions acceptable and appropriate to the City and TCHC. In 2-3 years, the City will seek authority to enter into a Construction Services Funding Agreement with TCHC to transfer funds to TCHC for project construction costs. The lease agreement will be developed in conjunction with the Construction Services Funding Agreement. Operating impacts of Capital will be submitted for consideration during future year budget processes when the future parkland nears completion.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the City of Toronto to enter into, and the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation in consultation with the General Manager, Transportation Services to execute on behalf of the City, a Design Services Funding Agreement with Toronto Community Housing Corporation for the design of the above base park and public realm components of the subject land at 200 Wellesley Street East and 275 Bleecker Street on terms and conditions acceptable to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the General Manager, Transportation Services, in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, and in accordance with City policies applicable to capital projects, including compliance with the City's fair wage policy and other procurement policies, as well as the City's Labour Trades Contractual Obligations in the Construction Industry. 2.

A mixed-use development consisting of a tower height of 21 storeys with a 3 storey podium is in the process of being constructed by Menkes Development Ltd. at the municipal addresses of 219-231 Dundas Street East. The subject site is located on the south side of Dundas Street East, east of George Street and west of Pembroke Street. As a condition of the Site Plan Agreement (Site Plan Application 18 145012 STE 27 SA), a northbound left-turn prohibition at all times is required at the driveway access at 219-231 Dundas Street East and the developer is required to advise the City in advance of the anticipated date of first occupancy of the project, so that the required by-law can be enacted. The expected occupancy of the project will be June 2021. The subject turn prohibition is required to improve operations and safety by prohibiting outbound left turns at all times onto Dundas Street East and requiring motorists exit this location with a right-turn movement. As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Dundas Street East, City Council approval of this report is required.
This item was withdrawn from the agenda.

In early October, it was brought to my attention that a tree had been injured at 58 Linnsmore Crescent. Urban Forestry advised that no tree removal or injury permits had been issued for this property and that an active tree by-law contravention investigation was underway. A stop work order and a Contravention Inspection for three trees was also issued to the property owner. It is my understanding that no tree protection zone encroachments were ever permitted by Urban Forestry. Urban Forestry has also advised that a stop work order has been issued however, this applied only to the tree protection zone and not the project as a whole. Local residents are confused and concerned about this tree and want to protect the tree canopy in this neighbourhood. I am asking for your support for a report to help them understand what happened.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Director, Urban Forestry, to report to the January 12, 2021 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council on the tree at 58 Linnsmore Crescent, and to include in the report, what efforts were made by Toronto Building and Urban Forestry to ensure compliance.

All Way Stop - Rowntree Avenue and Chambers Avenue
Residents contacted my office to request all way stop signs at the intersection of Rowntree Avenue and Chambers Avenue. They reported that the intersection is becoming more dangerous as many drivers are going through local neighbourhoods to avoid congestion along Old Weston Road and Rogers Road, driving fast along these local streets. Unreported accidents and near misses occur regularly. This intersection provides access to General Mercer Jr. Public School outdoors facilities and green space which is enjoyed by the community all year round and there are an increasing number of pedestrians in the area. For these reasons, it has to be as safe as can be. We believe the implementation of this all way stop is part of the solution and I am therefore asking Committee to approve this request.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized all-way stop control at the intersection of Rowntree Avenue and Chambers Avenue.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Bailao recommends that: 1. Toronto and East York Community Council authorize all-way stop control at the intersection of Rowntree Avenue and Chambers Avenue.
