This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the property at 29-31 Prince Arthur Avenue under Part V, Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act in connection with the construction of a new four storey rear addition to provide additional office accommodation. The subject property is located on the south side of Prince Arthur Avenue between Bedford Road and Avenue Road and contains a 3-storey semi-detached house-form building of Bay and Gable design, constructed circa 1889. The subject lands are part of the East Annex Heritage Conservation District (EAHCD). The development proposal includes the retention of most of the front part of the existing 3-storey building, removal of the existing rear additions and a rear dormer and the construction of a new 4-storey rear addition. The addition would be one storey higher than the ridge of the existing building and it therefore does not comply with the guidelines for additions in the EAHCD Plan which say that additions should be lower than the height of the existing ridge. The EAHCD Plan however also 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 only one storey higher that the heritage building and is set back so that it would not over-power the existing building and would have limited visibility from the street. A similar style addition was approved for a property at 17 Prince Arthur Avenue in 2011. In December 2022 a minor variance application for this four storey rear addition was approved subject to a condition requiring the drawings being to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council approve the exterior alterations to the heritage property at 29-31 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 Angela Tsementzis Architect, dated September 30, 2022 and Heritage Impact Assessment prepared by ERA Architects Inc. dated October 26, 2022 and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City 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 29-31 Prince Arthur Avenue dated October 26, 2022 prepared by ERA Architects Inc. to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning, provided that original windows and doors may be replaced with new, more energy efficient windows and doors that restore the original appearance of the building; and 2. provide a detailed Landscape Plan for the property at 29-31 Prince Arthur Avenue, satisfactory to the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning; and b. prior to the issuance of any permit for all or any part of the property at 29-31 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, Urban Design, City 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, Urban Design, City Planning; and 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, Urban Design, City Planning

Status Report on the Gerrard-Carlaw North Transit Oriented Community
This report provides an update on the Provincial Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) program. It also includes preliminary planning comments, outstanding issues, opportunities to secure City priorities, and a summary of feedback received by the City and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) through a public engagement process for the Gerrard Carlaw North TOC. IO has partnered with Choice REIT for the delivery of a TOC proposal on the northeast corner of Gerrard Avenue and Carlaw Avenue (herein referred to as 'Gerrard Carlaw North') related to the Ontario Line Gerrard-Carlaw Station. The proposal, at 425-471 Carlaw Avenue, includes a mixed-use podium building with three tower elements at 30, 35 and 40 storeys. The proposal would also provide a public park, a Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS), and a new public street. The TOC falls within the study area for the Council-directed Gerrard-Carlaw Planning Study. The study was initiated prior to the TOC being announced, but the study scope has been adjusted to allow for these two projects to proceed concurrently. Opportunities for shared consultation and consideration of this TOC are being explored, with a focus on its connection to the surrounding existing and emerging context. A complete communities approach guides City Planning in consideration of both the TOC and the study.
The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the Item until its April 12, 2023 meeting.

79-85 Shuter Street - Construction Staging Area Time Extension
This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Hyde Park Homes Limited Partnership is constructing a 32-storey residential development building at 79-85 Shuter Street. The site is located on the southeast corner of Shuter Street and Mutual Street. At its meeting on November 10, 2020, Toronto and East York Community Council approved the construction staging areas on Shuter Street and Mutual Street, from November 12, 2020 to April 30, 2022. The south sidewalk and a 2.1-metre-wide portion of the eastbound curb lane on Shuter Street, between Mutual Street and a point 35 metres east, were closed for construction staging operations, with the bike lane on Shuter Street maintained at 1.6 metres in width and pedestrian operations on the south side of Shuter Street maintained in a 1.5-metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the existing lane. Since the report was prepared, the City implemented geometric and pavement marking changes on Shuter Street. These changes resulted in the bike lanes on the north and south sides of Shuter Street being relocated from inside parking lanes to immediately next to the curbs, adding a median on the north side to create separation between parking spaces and the north side bike lane, and the elimination of a parking lane on the south side (which was initially part of the staging area). These changes resulted in a reduced overall space for eastbound traffic, where it was no longer possible to maintain a separate bike lane during construction staging. The developer installed appropriate signage warning bikes and vehicle traffic to merge into the single eastbound traffic lane. In accordance with the above noted Community Council approval, the east sidewalk and an eight-metre-wide portion of the northbound curb lane and adjacent lane on Mutual Street, between Shuter Street and a point 37 metres south are closed for construction staging. Pedestrian operations on the east side of Mutual Street are maintained in a covered and protected walkway within the closed portion of the existing northbound lane. The developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging areas on Shuter Street and Mutual Street as the site has experienced COVID-19 related delays. Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging areas from February 24, 2023 to October 31, 2023 to allow for the construction of the development to be completed.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the continuation of the closure of the south sidewalk on Shuter Street, between Mutual Street and a point 35 metres east, and provision of a temporary pedestrian walkway within the closed portion of the eastbound curb lane from February 24, 2023 to October 31, 2023. 2. Authorized the continuation of the closure of a 2.1-metre-wide portion of the most southerly eastbound curb/bike lane on Shuter Street, between Mutual Street and a point 35 metres east, from February 24, 2023 to October 31, 2023. 3. Authorized the continuation of the closure of the east sidewalk on Mutual Street, between Shuter Street and a point 37 metres south, from February 24, 2023 to October 31, 2023. 4. Authorized the continuation of the closure of an 8-metre-wide portion of the northbound curb lane and adjacent lane on Mutual Street, between Shuter Street and a point 37 metres south, from February 24, 2023 to October 31, 2023. 5. Directed the applicant to pressure wash or sweep (weather permitting) the construction site and adjacent sidewalks and roadways daily, or more frequently as needed to be cleared of any construction debris and made safe. 6. Directed the applicant to continue to ensure that the existing sidewalks or the proposed pedestrian walkways have proper enhanced lighting to ensure safety and visibility at all times of the day and night. 7. Directed the applicant to continue to clearly consult and communicate all construction, parking and road occupancy impacts with local Business Improvement Areas and resident associations in advance of any physical road modifications. 8. Directed the applicant to continue to install appropriate signage and converging mirrors to ensure that pedestrians, cyclists and motorists safety is considered at all times. 9.
