TE3.3amended
This application proposes to construct a 5-storey residential condominium building at 77 Clarendon Avenue that would involve the demolition of the existing 5-storey apartment building with 10 rental units currently on the property. The proposed building would include a total of 30 residential units, with a total gross floor area (GFA) of 5,375 square metres, and a density of 1.71 times the lot area. Three levels of below grade parking would accommodate 55 vehicular parking spaces. A related Rental Housing Demolition application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code (Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act) seeks approval to demolish the existing rental building. The applicant does not propose to replace the existing rental units within the proposed development as all existing rental units have rents that exceed mid-range rents. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). The proposal represents a suitable redevelopment of the site considering the existing use, and presents built form and landscaping that is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood context. The building footprint has been revised through several resubmissions to reduce the impact to existing trees and lands subject to the Ravine and Natural Features Protection By-law. This Report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. This Report also recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application and the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council refuse the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments for the lands at 77 Clarendon Avenue. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with the appropriate City staff, to appear before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in support of City Council's decision to refuse the applications in the event the matter is appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. 3. City Council direct the City Solicitor to retain outside consultants as necessary.

578-580 King Street West - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Final Report
This application proposes to redevelop the site at 578-580 King Street West, currently containing a two-storey heritage building, with a 15-storey office building containing retail uses on the ground floor. The development, as proposed, would have a height of 58.6 metres (63.3 including the mechanical penthouse). The front (King Street) façade and the front portion of the east façade of the existing heritage building are proposed to be retained in situ and altered. The proposed development is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and does not conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017) as it relates to heritage conservation and overall built form. The proposal also does not adequately address policies contained in the City's Official Plan, the King-Spadina Secondary Plan, the King-Spadina Secondary Plan review, the King-Spadina HCD Plan and does not address the King-Spadina Urban Design Guidelines (2006). It does not conserve the heritage character and attributes of the heritage building at 578-590 King Street West and would result in a height, form and massing that is not consistent with the King Spadina Built Form principles. This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council refuse the application for the Zoning By-law Amendment at 578-580 King Street West for the following reasons: a. The proposal is not consistent with the PPS (2014) as it does not adequately respond to the local context and does not conserve significant built heritage resources; b. The proposal fails to conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017) as it does not encourage a sense of place by promoting a well designed built form, does not conserve the on-site heritage resource to help define the character of the area, does not result in a high quality public realm and does not transition well to neighbouring properties; c. The proposal does not conform to the Official Plan, the King Spadina Secondary Plan (2006) or the Downtown Official Plan Amendment 406 as it represents over development of the site; does not result in an appropriate transition in scale towards neighbouring properties; does not result in a built form that achieves a compatible relationship with the surrounding context as it relates to height, massing, scale and stepbacks; does not positively contribute to the liveability of the neighbourhood; and, additionally, creates negative impacts including light, view and privacy incompatibility. As well, the proposed development does not conserve the property's heritage attributes or result in whole building conservation of the on-site heritage building, but rather, results in a development which diminishes its scale, form and massing; d. The proposal does not address the Council-approved King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District Plan as it does not conserve and enhance the form and scale of the on-site listed property or the heritage value of the District; and e. The proposal does not address the Council-approved King-Spadina Urban Design Guidelines (2006) which require buildings to achieve optimum light, view and privacy conditions; reduce their impact on other properties; be compatible with existing heritage buildings in terms of massing, height, setbacks, stepbacks and materials; contribute towards a high quality public realm within the context of adjacent buildings; and reinforce the distinguishing character of the West Precinct which is that of a maturing mid-rise neighbourhood in the context of conserving significant heritage buildings. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with appropriate staff, to appear before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in support of City Council's decision to refuse the application, in the event that the application is appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. 3. 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 the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal to withhold the issuance of any Orders on the Zoning By-law Amendment appeal for the subject lands until such time as: a. The owner has provided draft by-laws to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in a form and with content satisfactory to the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the City Solicitor; b. The property at 578-580 King Street West is designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act; c. The owner has entered into a Heritage Easement Agreement with the City for the property at 578-580 King Street West to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, including the execution and registration of such agreement to the satisfaction of the City solicitor; d. The owner has provided for the withdrawal of the appeal of the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District Plan; e. The owner has provided a Conservation Plan prepared by a qualified heritage consultant for the property at 578-580 King Street West to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services; f. The owner has addressed all outstanding items identified in the Memorandum from Engineering and Construction Services, dated November 20, 2018, all to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; g. The owner agrees to pay for and construct any improvements to the municipal infrastructure in connection with the site servicing report, as accepted, by the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; and h. The owner has submitted a construction management plan to the satisfaction of 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. The Construction Management Plan will include, but not be limited to: the size and location of construction staging areas, location and function of gates, information on concrete pouring, lighting details to ensure that safety lighting does not negatively impact adjacent residences, construction vehicle parking and queuing locations, refuse storage, site security, site supervisor contact information, a communication strategy with the surrounding community, vibration monitoring for the integrity of neighbouring buildings, and any other matters requested by the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, in consultation with the Ward Councillor.

This Report responds to an application where staff are currently not in a position to provide a Final Report to Council, but which could be appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") due to Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time prescribed by the Planning Act. The report sets out outstanding issues related to the application and makes an initial determination as to whether or not the application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 49 storey residential tower with commercial uses at grade and 414 dwelling units with a total gross floor area of 30,800 square metres at 139-149 Church Street. The proposed building would have a height of 156.25 metres including the mechanical penthouse. The proposal includes four levels of underground parking. The proposed development in its present form is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), does not conform to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017) and does not conform to the City's Official Plan. In particular the proposed built form does not have appropriate regard to the development policies, standards and guidelines established by the City to ensure that a proposal fits within its existing planned and built form context, provides for an appropriate transition and minimizes impacts on heritage and park resources. The major issues to be resolved, as outlined in this report, include: tower height, tower setbacks, shadow impacts, need to determine if there are any on-site heritage resources, heritage adjacency issues and impacts to St. James view corridor. Additional issues include the lack of indoor amenity space and wind impacts on the pedestrian realm.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct City Staff to continue to review the application and resolve any outstanding issues detailed in this report. 2. City Council direct the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff to attend and oppose the application in its current form, should the application be appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal on the basis of Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the statutory timeframe of the Planning Act. 3.

This Report responds to an application which could be appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") due to Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time prescribed by the Planning Act. The report sets out outstanding issues related to the application and makes an initial determination as to whether or not the application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017) and conform to the City's Official Plan. The application proposes a 42-storey residential addition above an existing 19-storey office building resulting in an overall building height of 61 storeys and a floor space index (FSI) of 24.74 times the area of the lot. The proposed addition would include 450 residential dwelling units totalling 36,128 square metres in area and also proposes: 900 square metres of indoor amenity area; 74 parking spaces located below grade within the three levels of the existing parking garage; and 577 bicycle parking spaces. As a whole, the proposed building would comprise a total of 53,064 square metres, of which 16,936 square metres is existing non-residential gross floor area. The proposed development in its current form is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and does not conform to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017), and does not conform to the City's Official Plan and Zoning By-law. In particular, the proposed built form does not have appropriate regard to the development policies, standards and guidelines established by the City to ensure that a proposal fits within its existing and planned built form context which require that development provide for an appropriate transition to adjacent neighbourhoods, between adjacent sites and minimize impacts on park resources. Additionally, the proposal provides for inadequate parking and outdoor amenity space.

On December 5, 2017, the applications were refused by City Council and subsequently appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) pursuant to s. 22(7) and 34(11) of the Planning Act. On February 16, 2018, the applicant submitted a revised proposal which involved the expansion of the site to include the property at 64 Wellesley Street East. A Request for Directions report dated April 24, 2018 was adopted by Toronto and East York Community Council and City Council to continue to oppose the applications at the LPAT. The report contained several recommendations which were adopted by City Council, including a recommendation requiring the applicant to provide on-site parkland dedication. On January 21, 2019, the Toronto Preservation Board adopted staff's recommendations to designate the property at 64 Wellesley Street East under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. In light of the recommendations arising from Toronto Preservation Board, staff are seeking Council direction to delete one of the recommendations (Recommendation 3, item 32.19) previously adopted by City Council on May 22, 2018 and replace it with Recommendation 1 (noted below). Further, a second recommendation (2) is also added to reflect the need for a Heritage Easement agreement in the event that the LPAT approves the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment in whole or in part.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council require, in accordance with Section 42 of the Planning Act that, in the event the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal approves the Zoning By-law Amendment and the Official Plan Amendment application, in whole or in part, an on-site parkland dedication be conveyed to the City, or payment in lieu of an on-site parkland dedication be made to the City, or any combination thereof occur, all to the satisfaction the General Manger, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, or, the applicant may convey to the City an off-site parkland dedication provided the criteria of Chapter 415-26 of the Toronto Municipal Code are all met, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation. 2. City Council require that, in the event the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal approves the Zoning By-law Amendment and the Official Plan Amendment, in whole or in part, that the Tribunal's Order be withheld pending confirmation from the City Solicitor that the City and the owner have entered into a heritage easement agreement, to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services and such agreement has been registered on title to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

Tribute (Danforth) Limited ("Tribute") is the owner of lands municipally known as 276-294 Main Street and 144 Stephenson Avenue (the "Subject Site"). The Original Application On June 30, 2017, Tribute submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment application to the City, proposing to develop a 30-storey (93.3 metres plus a 5 metre mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building at the lands municipally known as 286-294 Main Street (the "Original Application"). The Original Application proposed a gross floor area ("GFA") of 22,444.8 square metres: 20,908 square metres of residential, 110.3 square metres of retail and 1,426.5 square metres of office. The proposed Floor Space Index (FSI) of the Original Application was 12.57 times the area of the lot. On December 19, 2017, Tribute appealed its Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") due to Council's failure to render a decision within the prescribed timeframe in the Planning Act (the "Appeal"). At its meeting on May 22, 2018, City Council adopted a Request for Directions report in respect of the Original Application and directed the City Solicitor and City staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in opposition of the Original Application and to continue negotiations with Tribute to address the issues outlined in the Request for Directions Report. The Settlement Offer Further to City Council's instructions, City staff and Tribute have been engaging in without prejudice discussions. On January 25, 2019, the City Solicitor received a with prejudice settlement offer (the "Settlement Offer") from the applicant. The Settlement Offer includes additional lands. Tribute has purchased the adjacent properties at 276-284 Main Street, which lie to the south of the lands included in the Original Application, and has incorporated the new lands into a revised development proposal (the "Revised Proposal"). The Revised Proposal is for a 27-storey (83.9 metres plus a 5 metre mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building at 276-294 Main Street. An on-site park is proposed at 144 Stephenson Avenue. The new proposed gross floor area is 27,874.7 square metres: 26,221.9 square metres of residential, 139.1 square metres of retail and 1,513.7 square metres of office. The proposed Floor Space Index of the Revised Proposal is 8.67 times the area of the lot. Key Changes to the Original Application The key changes to the Original Application in the Revised Proposal are: - Reducing the overall density of the proposal from an proposed Floor Space Index of 12.57 to 8.67; - Reducing the building height from 30 storeys (93.3 metres excluding mechanical penthouse) to 27 storeys (83.9 metres excluding mechanical penthouse); - Improving tall building setbacks that generally meet the Tall Building Design Guidelines; - Increasing the distance of the tower from the nearest low-rise residential building from 22.6 metres to 34.7 metres; - Providing 10 percent of the residential units 3-bedroom units, whereas none were provided in the Original Application; - Increasing sidewalk width from a range of 3.0-5.9 metres to 6.0 metres; - Providing on-site parkland dedication at 144 Stephenson Avenue; and - Incorporating appropriate conservation of the potential heritage building at 292 Main Street.
