This report recommends that City Council approve proposed alterations to the Part V designated heritage property at 67 Adelaide Street East in connection with the conversion of the existing building into a Municipal Shelter for Indigenous men to be operated by Na-Me-Res (Native Men's Residence). The subject property is categorized as a non-contributing building in the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (SLNHCD) Plan as it does not belong to one of the three building typologies (commercial warehouse, industrial and landmark) identified in the SLNHCD. It does however have potential individual cultural heritage value as a building that is well integrated within the District. The SLNHCD says that such buildings may be re-categorized in the future. Through the proposed exterior alternations at 67 Adelaide Street East, it is hoped to reflect important Indigenous heritage that would also bring value to the neighbourhood. The exterior alterations proposed to support the conversion include over-cladding to improve the insulation in the building and to meet the City's commitment to retrofitting all of its buildings to improve their energy efficiency and contribute towards the City's goal of Net Zero Emissions by 2050. The SLNHCD Plan recommends the use of masonry on exterior walls that are visible from the public realm and the proposed over-cladding would not be consistent with this guideline. The proposed new aluminum panel cladding however has been specifically chosen to allow for the incorporation of the colours of the Medicine Wheel which hold Indigenous cultural significance. This is in order to help de-colonialize the appearance of the proposed shelter and make it more welcoming to its staff, and residents. Its use also acknowledges the unique status and cultural diversity of the Indigenous communities and their right to self-determination in line with the City's Statement of Commitment to the Aboriginal Communities of Toronto. Staff recommend approval of the proposed over-cladding to further Truth and Reconciliation and affirm the right of Indigenous peoples to self-determination and cultural expression. The recommendation aligns with several of the City's commitments to Truth and Reconciliation including Action #43 which protects Indigenous cultural expression through the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council approve the exterior alterations to the heritage property at 67 Adelaide Street East, in accordance with Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, to allow for the conversion of the existing building into a Municipal Shelter on the lands known municipally in the year 2022 as 67 Adelaide Street East, with such alterations substantially in accordance with plans and drawings dated May 14, 2022, prepared by Hilditch Architect Inc. and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning, subject to the following additional conditions: a. That prior to the issuance of any permit for all or any part of the property at 67 Adelaide Street East, 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 a description of materials and finishes, to be prepared by the project architect to the satisfaction of the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning.

This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations to the property at 147 Church Street under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement. This proposal is in connection with a concurrent Zoning By-law Amendment application seeking approval for the construction of a 54-storey mixed use development at 137-149 Church Street. The Zoning By-law Amendment application is currently under appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal and a settlement offer has been made that includes the conservation strategy that forms the basis of the Heritage Permit application that is the subject of this report. The site contains a 3- storey mixed-use/commercial building that was constructed circa 1910. It is a representative example of the Edwardian Classicism architectural style that was popular for commercial buildings in Toronto in the early 20th century. At its meeting on December 15, 2021, City Council agreed to issue a Notice of Intention to Designate for this property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proposed alterations to 147 Church Street includes retaining and restoring the front façade while demolishing its rear. The removal of the rear will affect the scale, form and massing of this heritage building however the impact of this is mitigated through the reconstruction of the north facing exterior wall with matching brick and by having the tower set back from the front by 3m and from the north side by 9.5m. The new building would include a 3-storey street wall that has been designed to relate to the context within this part of Church Street and the height and step backs of the proposed tower would relate to that of the development that was approved for the adjacent site at 131-135 Church Street and 60-64 Queen Street East in 2020.

Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - Dundas-Carlaw Properties
This report responds to Toronto and East York Community Council's request in October 2021 for an update on the status of the heritage reports for the historic industrial buildings in the 'Carlaw - Dundas' Study Area and recommends that City Council include nine properties with cultural heritage value on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. A number of the properties recommended for listing were initially identified as being of heritage interest through the 2014 Carlaw + Dundas Community Initiative and were evaluated in a subsequent 2016 Heritage Analysis Report prepared by the project's consultant, Unterman McPhail Associates. Staff are recommending that nine of the properties in the consultant's 2016 report be included on the Heritage Register. All have all been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed by the Province and all of the recommended 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. These Dundas-Carlaw properties are part of an important collection of former factory/warehouse and garage buildings that were constructed during the first two decades of the 20th century when the area emerged as a bustling industrial centre that was vitally important to the Toronto economy. Today this collection of buildings support the historic character of the area along Carlaw Avenue north of Queen Street and contribute to vibrancy of a mixed-use creative and cultural hub within Leslieville.

Port Lands Flood Protection and Enabling Infrastructure - Construction Staging Time Extension
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Commissioners Street, City Council approval is required. The TTC service has been rerouted along Villiers Street and Saulter Street South. Waterfront Toronto, City of Toronto, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and the Toronto Port Lands Company (TPLC) have developed the Port Lands Flood Protection Project (PLFPP) to protect the Lower Don Lands and adjacent areas from potential loss of life and costly flood damage associated with a flood event, while triggering economic development.

Bollard Installation - 10 Earlscourt Avenue
Over the past year, I have heard from residents across Ward 9 (Davenport) requesting bollard installations and replacements on account of safety concerns. Bollards act as both a physical and visual barrier, protecting people and property from damage without impeding the public right of way. In the case of 10 Earlscourt Avenue, the homeowner is concerned about property damage as vehicles enter the laneway. Commonly used applications such as signage and traditional police enforcement have been ineffective and do not provide enough of a deterrent against potential vehicle impact.

I am writing to respectfully request that the development at 2112-2114 Yonge Street be excluded from the permit parking program, specifically from neighbouring Hillsdale Avenue West. This exclusion would ensure that current permit holders have sufficient parking space, as the issuance of parking permits following this development would negatively impact the already limited supply of parking spaces on Hillsdale Avenue West. Moreover, this action would prohibit the General Manager, Transportation Services, from accepting applications from residents of, visitors to, and tradespersons at the subject development property. Residents have reported to my office that it is difficult to find a parking space close to home. As such, my office has worked closely with the Oriole Park Association (OPA), the South Eglinton Davisville Residents' Association (SEDRA) and City staff in coming up with this recommendation.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, amend Schedule B of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to exclude the development located at 2112-2114 Yonge Street from permit parking on Hillsdale Avenue West.

Chester Hill Road and Lookout - Update
Chester Hill Road is a residential street in East York which dead ends to the west at the Chester Hill Lookout. In 2019, I held a site visit with City staff and residents and moved a motion to address safety concerns which were brought to my attention. I have since been working with local residents to have speed humps and a CCTV camera installed as well as road design improvements. The CCTV camera was installed several months ago but remains unconnected and non-functional. City staff also have not provided an update on the street redesign since the 2019 site visit. I am writing today to request an update on these initiatives.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested Transportation Services provide an update on the street redesign and installation of the CCTV camera at the Chester Hill Lookout and report back to Toronto and East York Community Council at the May 26, 2022 meeting.

My office received a request to install speed bumps on east-west lane, bounded by Wallace Avenue, Emerson Avenue, Armstrong Avenue and Dufferin Street in May 2020 by property owners that abut the laneway. The laneways are utilized by both vehicles and pedestrians alike. However, in the last number of years there has been significant change in the behaviour of some drivers, which has created unsafe and dangerous conditions. More specifically, residents have reported an increase in speed and the excessive use of horns when navigating the laneway, especially at the T-junction. Residents requested via petition in August 2020 that traffic calming measures (speed bumps) be installed as a method of addressing these concerns. Of the residents that responded, there was unanimous support for making this change. I am requesting that speed bumps be installed on the public lane as recommended below.

Speed Limit Reduction - Queens Quay East
Queens Quay East between Yonge Street and Parliament Street is classified as a minor arterial with a speed limit of 50 km/h. This rapidly developing waterfront precinct has numerous residential, institutional, commercial, and office uses already opened, in addition to new parks and public spaces. The street is planned to be revitalized through a Waterfront Toronto project. A number of traffic regulation updates and interim traffic control measures are being implemented at this time to bridge the period before the street is rebuilt, to allow safe use for the new community and its many visitors. As part of this transition to a new Queens Quay East, it is recommended that the speed limit be reduced to 40 km/hr to align with the current speed limit on Queens Quay West. TTC service operates on this street. Traffic Operations staff have been consulted on this proposed change and support the recommendation.

2100 Yonge Street - Minor Variance - Committee of Adjustment
I am writing to you today in regards to a new business item pertaining to the development at 2100 Yonge Street and the developer's wish (Rockport Group) to seek minor variances at the Committee of Adjustment. After launching the project in June 2021, the developer has had the opportunity to better understand the local market's needs. The developer advises that there is a demand for large 2-bedroom units with larger living spaces and less demand for 3-bedrooms. Therefore, a requirement of the total number of new 3-bedroom to be reduced from 15% to 10% is needed to best serve local housing needs. The developer has consulted both Oriole Park Association (OPA) and the South Eglinton Davisville Resident's Association (SEDRA) regarding the changes with no objections being raised from either group. I am therefore requesting the following recommendations be presented to Toronto-East York Community Council.
The Toronto and East York Community recommends that: 1. City Council permit, pursuant to Subsection 45.(1.4) of the Planning Act, submission of a minor variance application with respect to the properties municipal known as 2100-2110 Yonge Street and 8-12 Manor Road West for relief from site-specific Zoning By-laws 206-2021 and 207-2021 in order to to vary zoning provisions related to the minimum number of 3-bedroom units and require a minimum 10 percent instead of the required 15 percent. 2. In the event such variance is granted, City Council authorize the appropriate City officials to enter into and register on title an agreement to amend the Section 37 Agreement dated March 8, 2021 and registered as Instrument No. AT5674086, in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, to reflect the lower required percentage of 3-bedroom units.

Re-Open Item TE29.75 - Parking Amendments on Dewbourne Avenue
I am writing to respectfully re-open Item TE29.75, "Parking Amendments on Dewbourne Ave" and to rescind the authority for the prohibition of parking on the north side of Dewbourne Ave, between Glen Cedar Road and Chiltern Hill Road, between 8:00am and 10:00am. After adoption, residents of the street brought it to my office's attention that their request was only for the south side of that section of Dewbourne Ave. The north side is to remain unchanged. This action would help improve traffic flow, and ease congestion in view of the astronomical amount of cut through traffic plying Cedarvale streets, a result of the ongoing LRT construction.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Re-opened TE29.75 entitled "Parking Amendments on Dewbourne Avenue, with respect to Part 1 and 2 of the Toronto and East York Community Council's decision. 2. Deleted Recommendation 1 of its decision with respect to Item TE29.75 and adopt the following: "1. Toronto and East York Community Council amend the existing parking prohibition in effect at all times on the north side of Dewbourne Avenue, between Strathearn Road and Glen Cedar Road, and between Chiltern Hill Road and a point 37 metres west of Bathurst Street, to be in effect between Strathearn Road and a point 37 metres west of Bathurst Street." 3.

Temporary Closure of Bellair Street to support CafeTO
The purpose of this letter is to temporarily close Bellair Street from Cumberland Street to Yorkville Avenue from May 1, 2022 until November 7, 2022, inclusive, to vehicular traffic to permit six eating establishment operators who have applied under the CaféTO program to operate a curb lane/parklet café under that program on the street.

Proposed Amendments to Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolution 3-6: Residential Overnight
On February 18, 2022, the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) Board considered a Staff report that recommended delegating to staff the authority to adjust the hours when overnight parking is permitted in TPA lots in permit parking areas. That item was deferred and TPA staff have reached out to Councillors to get their feedback. The suggested changes will likely have an impact on the City's Permit Parking program. This program already faces many challenges including oversubscription in many areas.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services to undertake a review of PA28.5 Proposed Amendments to Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolution 3-6: Residential Overnight Use, as it pertains to the Toronto and East York Community Council District; and to report back to the May 26, 2022 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council on the impacts to the permit parking system before a final report is submitted to the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) Board.

Queen Street East Heritage Conservation District Revival
At its September 26, 2006 meeting, City Council authorized the Queen Street East Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study for Queen Street East, from the Don River to DeGrassi Street. On March 5, 6 and 7, 2012, Council adopted the document titled "Heritage Conservation Districts in Toronto: Procedures, Policies and Terms of Reference" which permitted the previously authorized HCD studies including Queen East to be initiated. Phase I of the study was undertaken in 2015 and subsequently paused due to extenuating factors. In their initial work heritage staff concluded the study area was worthy of Part V designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. They also recommended revising the study area to include several significant properties identified in their early work including the historic Queen Street Viaduct/Riverside Bridge.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning to resume the next phase of work on the Queen Street East Heritage Conservation District Study on an urgent basis.

Exploring Pedestrianization of Cumberland St between Bellair St and Old York Lane
Since becoming Councillor for this area in 2018, I have had a number of discussions with residents and business owners in Yorkville concerned about pedestrian safety and noise from vehicles revving and, in some instances, racing through the neighbourhood. Many of those discussions have turned to pedestrianization as a concrete way to curb the noise and enhance safety for vulnerable road users. Last year, with the support of the local residents associations and the BIA, we completed a trial pedestrianization of a portion of Yorkville Avenue, from Bellair Street to Hazelton Avenue, in the warmer months that was well received and could be replicated in other areas. One such street that has come up time and time again as one where pedestrianization would be beneficial and could be achieved with minimal disruption is Cumberland Street, between Bellair Street and Old York Lane.
The Toronto and East York Community Council requested: 1. The General Manager, Transportation Services to: a. Investigate the potential to implement a temporary closure on Cumberland Street from Bellair Street to Old York Lane between May to September, for any period of time and: i. Report back to the Ward Councillor with the outcome of the investigation and with a timeline for implementation. b. Investigate the potential to permanently close Cumberland Street between Bellair Street and Old York Lane. 2.

Stopping Prohibition - 192 Jarvis Street
My office was advised about repeat parking and illegal stopping situation at the driveway of 192 Jarvis that is seriously impacting the residents of this building. Customers from J San Sushi, the adjacent restaurant, are constantly parking their cars in front of this specific driveway to go pick up their takeout. As a result, residents from 192 Jarvis are unable to access their residential building because vehicles are blocking the driveway. Residents report that they must wait for extended periods of time until they are able to enter the building as it is dependent upon vehicles moving from the driveway. Even more problematic is the fact that residents are forced to ask customers and Uber drivers who are parked or stopped in front of the driveway to move their vehicles. Unfortunately, I have been advised that the residents have experienced troubling and problematic behaviour when requesting drivers to move from the driveway. The situation is serious and urgent, which can cause traffic impediments. Currently, this driveway does not have any signage installed that informs drivers that they cannot stop or park in the area. Given this situation, I am requesting that Transportation Staff install the appropriate signage to deter the blocking of the driveway.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited stopping at all times on the west side of Jarvis Street, between a point 58 metres south of Dundas Street East and a point 19 metres further south. 2.
