This report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law; to permit an increase in residential gross floor area and a reduction in non-residential gross floor area within the Gehry Forma development previously approved at 260-270 King Street West (East Block) and 274-322 King Street West (West Block). The proposal is to permit residential uses within the base building of the proposed West Block building, currently approved for non-residential uses. The site was the subject of a previous Official Plan Amendment application approved by Council in 2014 and a previous Zoning By-law Amendment application approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) in 2014 with the final order issued by the OMB in 2017 bringing the amending Zoning By-law into force and effect (By-law 1480-2017). The previous approvals permitted two new mixed-use buildings designed by architect Frank Gehry at 260-270 and 274-322 King Street West (the East Block and West Block buildings). A total gross floor area of 174,000 square metres was permitted on the site, including a maximum residential gross floor area of 138,100 square metres and a minimum non-residential gross floor area of 35,300 square metres, with the floor area permissions distributed between the East and West Blocks. The East Block is currently under construction. No changes are proposed to the previously approved heights, building envelopes or setbacks of the buildings on either the East or West Blocks and no changes are proposed to the overall gross floor area permitted on the site.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the Official Plan for the lands municipally known as 260-270 and 274-322 King Street West substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment included as Attachment 14 to the report (October 3, 2025) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2.

City Council require the owner of the lands at 260-270 and 274-322 King Street West to enter into and register on title an amending Section 37 Agreement which would amend the July 26, 2017 Section 37 Agreement registered as Instrument AT4755091 to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and the Executive Director, Development Review, in consultation with the Ward Councillor; the following will be secured through the amended Section 37 Agreement: a. a financial contribution to the City in the amount of $250,000, allocated to streetscape improvements within the vicinity of the site, to be provided prior to the issuance of the first above-grade building permit for the new West Block building, to be indexed upwardly in accordance with the Statistics Canada Construction Price Index for Toronto from the date Council adopts the Zoning By-law Amendment to the date the payment is made; and b. all previously secured items with the exception of requirements related to Festival Square enhancements.

Zoning By-law Amendment for Garden Suites on Parkmount Road Facing Craven Road - Final Report
On October 9 and 10, 2024, City Council directed City Planning staff through Item "TE16.75 - Council Direction on PH14.13 - Allowing Time for a Thorough Review", to review garden suite zoning permissions for homes on Parkmount Road that back onto Craven Road between Danforth Avenue and Hanson Street, and to allow more time for the review that Council had previously requested. The Council decision directed staff to consider matters such as provincial planning changes, previous consultation, and modifications to the zoning by-law for better integration of garden suites in the area including appropriate setbacks from Craven Road for garden suites. Garden suites have been permitted in Toronto's Neighbourhoods since early 2022, when City Council adopted city-wide permissions. As a priority project of the Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) initiative, garden suites contribute to Toronto's housing goals and targets, including the 2023 Housing Action Plan, and the Province's housing target of 285,000 new homes in Toronto by 2031. The garden suite permissions provide opportunities through gentle intensification for a variety of living arrangements, providing flexibility for existing homeowners looking to rent a unit to tenants, creating additional units for multigenerational living, or those looking to downsize and age in place. To date, the City has received over 900 building permit applications for garden suites. In July 2025, Council adopted additional amendments to further support the effective implementation of garden suites in Toronto based on the findings from the Garden Suites Monitoring Program and to align Zoning By-law 569-2013 with recent provincial regulatory changes. This report presents the findings from the review, feedback from public consultation, and staff's recommended approach to reflect the distinct context of Craven Road, including recommended amendments to the zoning by-law. The recommended zoning by-law amendment would continue to permit garden suites on Parkmount Road while providing minor modifications to performance standards that reflect and address several unique characteristics on Craven Road, notably the narrowness of the street, and the through-lot character of Parkmount Road versus the facing condition of the homes fronting onto Craven Road. Staff are aware of only one other street in the City that exhibits the same characteristics.
The Toronto and East York Community Council adjourned the public meeting for Zoning By-law Amendment for Garden Suites on Parkmount Road Facing Craven Road - Final Report, until November 27, 2025 at 10:00 a.m..

189 and 195 Old Weston Road - Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment - Appeal Report
On August 17, 2021 an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to the City for an 8 storey non-residential building, two residential buildings of 11 and 27 storeys, and a 3 storey above grade parking structure at 189 and 195 Old Weston Road. The proposed development includes a total gross floor area of 34,361 square metres, including 4,410 square metres of employment office space and 296 residential units. On June 11, 2025, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT") due to Council not making a decision within the timeframe prescribed by the Planning Act. On August 15, 2025, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing issued a Notice of Decision to approve the Keele St. Clair Secondary Plan (OPA 537) without any modifications, which is a final decision that brought OPA 537 into effect as of that date. This report recommends that the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff attend the OLT to oppose the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application in its current form and to continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve outstanding issues.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal in opposition to the current application regarding the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment appeal for the lands at 189-195 Old Weston Road and to continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve outstanding issues. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and City staff to take any necessary steps to implement City Council's decision, including requesting any conditions of approval that would be in the City's interest, in the event the Ontario Land Tribunal allows the appeal, in whole or in part.

This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the property at 36 Prince Arthur Avenue under Part V, Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act in connection with the construction of a new five storey rear addition to provide additional office accommodation. The subject property is located on the north side of Prince Arthur Avenue between Bedford Road and Avenue Road and contains a two and a half storey brick form building constructed circa 1891. The subject lands are part of the East Annex Heritage Conservation District (EAHCD). The development proposal includes the retention of the main body of the existing two and a half-storey brick and stone building and removal of its rear two-storey addition to facilitate the construction of a new five-storey addition at the rear. The existing rear addition is not original. The new five-storey addition would be two storeys higher than the ridge of the existing heritage building and would therefore not comply with the guidelines for additions in the EAHCD Plan which state that additions should be lower than the height of the existing ridge. Notwithstanding this, the EAHCD Plan recognises that substantial development in the rear yards is evident on Prince Arthur and that rear additions here should not "over-power the existing buildings and preferably should have low visibility from the street." Staff are supportive of the proposed redevelopment of the site, given that the addition is setback behind the existing retained two and a half storey heritage building and that it would not over-power the existing heritage building. It would be set back over 14m from the front of the heritage building and would have limited visibility from the street so that the visual prominence of the heritage building within the public realm would remain. The HIA says that the proposed new rear addition would use "compatible materials and colours" but details of these have not been included. They will be required as part of the Conservation Plan submission. In July 2025 a minor variance application for the five-storey rear addition was approved by the Committee of Adjustment.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council approve the construction of a five storey rear addition on the heritage property at 36 Prince Arthur Avenue, in accordance with Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, with such alterations substantially in accordance with plans and drawings prepared by Richard Wengle, dated March 24, 2025 and Heritage Impact Assessment prepared by ERA Architects Inc. dated July 14, 2025 and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, subject to the following additional conditions: a. the owner shall: 1.provide a detailed Conservation Plan prepared by a qualified heritage consultant that is substantially in accordance with the conservation strategy set out in the Heritage Impact Assessment for 36 Prince Arthur Avenue dated July 14, 2025 prepared by ERA Architects Inc. to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning; and 2. provide a detailed Landscape Plan for the property at 36 Prince Arthur Avenue, satisfactory to the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning and thereafter shall implement such a Plan to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning; b. prior to the issuance of any permit for all or any part of the property at 36 Prince Arthur Avenue, including a heritage permit or a building permit, but excluding permits for repairs and maintenance and usual and minor works for the property as are acceptable to the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, the owner shall: 1. provide building permit drawings, including notes and specifications for the conservation and protective measures keyed to the approved Conservation Plan required in Recommendation 1.a.1 above including a description of materials and finishes, to be prepared by the project architect and a qualified heritage consultant to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning; 2. provide building permit drawings, including notes and specifications that are keyed to the approved Landscape Plan required in Recommendation 1.a.2 above to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning; and 3. provide a Letter of Credit, including provision for upwards indexing, in a form and amount and from a bank satisfactory to the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, to secure all work included in the approved Conservation Plan; and c. prior to the release of the Letter of Credit required in Recommendation 1.b.3 above, the owner shall: 1. provide a letter of substantial completion prepared and signed by a qualified heritage consultant confirming that the required conservation work has been completed in accordance with the approved Conservation Plan and that an appropriate standard of conservation has been maintained, all to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning.

On July 23-24, 2025, City Council adopted EX 25.4 RapidTO: Transit Priority on Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street, which includes the installation of priority transit lanes on Dufferin Street, from King Street West to Bloor Street West, and on Bathurst Street, from Bathurst Station to Lake Shore Boulevard West. Approved changes also include turn restrictions at key locations to improve traffic flow. While priority transit lanes provide a benefit to the transit riders on both Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street, it is expected that there will be a change in how people travel and park in the nearby areas. Responding to direction from Council, this report identifies potential solutions to mitigate the impacts on changes to nearby local road travel patterns and the availability of on-street parking that may result from the Council-approved changes on Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street, including: - Potential infiltration of traffic onto local streets; - Parking supply for permit holders around Dufferin Street; and - Off-street and side-street parking supply near Bathurst Street around St. Moses and St. Katherine Coptic Orthodox Church. Transportation Services is committed to bringing forward recommendations for local streets with existing conditions that meet the requirements for traffic calming. Additional data collection is currently underway to inform recommendations for measures to be implemented on local streets. While a review of utilization in permit parking areas adjacent to Dufferin Street demonstrated sufficient capacity to absorb the loss in permit parking spaces on Dufferin Street between Dundas Street West and Peel Avenue, there are two identified potential opportunities to improve area permit parking access and supply: - Green P spaces can be used overnight on Gladstone Avenue, north of Bloor Street West; and - Alternating side on-street permit parking can be allocated to the side with the higher number of spaces on up to eight local roads. Additionally, Transportation Services has reviewed parking in the area around St. Moses & St. Katherine Coptic Orthodox Church, located near Bathurst Street. A loading zone has been included in the final design of RapidTO: Bathurst Street, located in front of the Church during Sunday service hours and holidays. Further changes are not recommended at this time, as sufficient parking alternatives are available on adjacent streets.
The Director, Planning, Design and Management, Transportation Services recommends that: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council in the first quarter of 2026 with a positive recommendation for local roads identified in the RapidTO Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street data monitoring program that satisfy the traffic calming policy guidelines, in consultation with the local Councillors. 2. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council in first quarter of 2026 with recommendations to change on-street permit parking hours, to affix on-street permit parking to the side of the street with greater supply, and to adjust on-street permit parking spaces at appropriate locations informed by engagement with the local residents and local Councillors. 3. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to work with the local Councillors to create a Community Working Group and to report on progress by the end of the first quarter of 2026, in developing a unified set of changes to address permit parking supply, speeding and traffic infiltration issues that arise as a result of RapidTO: Dufferin Street implementation. 4. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to work with religious institutions fronting on affected portions of Bathurst Street or Dufferin Street to ensure that they can continue to conduct funerals and marshall funeral processions during off-peak hours.
