The proposal includes six buildings comprised of an 11-storey (37 m in height, excluding the mechanical penthouse) mixed use building, with retail space at grade, on the St. Clair Avenue West frontage and five low-rise blocks of stacked 3.5-storey townhouses (between 10.5 m to 11.2 m in height, excluding the rooftop staircase enclosure) on the Old Weston Road lands. In addition, a new public park is proposed to have a total area of approximately 857 m2. A total of 276 residential units are proposed, of which 96 are townhouse units and 180 are units within the proposed mixed use building. Of the 96 townhouse units, 20 affordable housing units would be provided in partnership with Habitat for Humanity. The proposed development would have a total gross floor area of 21,750 m2, of which 21,263 m2 is proposed for residential use and 487 m2 is proposed for commercial use. The proposed overall density represents a Floor Space Index of 2.1 times the area of the lands. Vehicular access is proposed from Old Weston Road to the west and Cloverdale Road to the east and a total of 218 parking spaces are proposed within a two-level underground parking garage. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). The proposed development represents appropriate intensification along the frontages of St. Clair Avenue West and Old Weston Road. The proposed mixed use building and townhouses conform with the Official Plan policies and are generally consistent with the City's Tall Building Design Guidelines as well as the Infill Townhouse Guidelines.

Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 440 Unwin Avenue
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 440 Unwin Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Located in the Port Lands on the north side of Unwin Avenue, between Leslie and Cherry streets, the property contains the Richard L. Hearn Generating Station, a coal-based generating station for Toronto's emerging post-war economy, designed by the by the Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation and completed in phases in 1951, 1961 and 1971 for the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario (now known as Ontario Power Generation). It was decommissioned in 1983. The Province leased the property to the tenants in 2002 until they sold the property in November 2018. During that time, the tenant sought a variety of permits to accommodate film and television studio production as well as a demolition permit for the generating station which was issued in 2010 and subsequently expired in 2017. The building interiors were subsequently stabilized between 2014 and 2016 to host large public events such as Luminato. The Hearn, an icon of the civic spirit underpinning the Port Lands creation in 1912, has for over 70 years been a distinctive landmark on the Toronto waterfront with its tall chimney stack. For more than 15 years City Council has expressed a desire to protect and preserve this waterfront landmark property. Initially, through its inclusion on the City's Heritage Register in 2003, and then through a series of Council decisions, the City reaffirmed to the Provincial Government its interest in the Hearn Generating Station's preservation. As the property was owned by Ontario Power Generation, a provincial public body, it was exempt from designation by the City of Toronto. The Province of Ontario recognized the cultural heritage value of the property by including it on the List of Provincial Heritage Properties following a Cultural Heritage Evaluation in 2016. As the property is now privately owned, it is no longer subject to provincial protection pursuant to Section B.3 of the Standards and Guidelines for Conservation of Provincial Heritage Properties dated April 28, 2010, prepared pursuant to Section 25.2 of the Ontario Heritage Act). The authority for heritage protection now resides with City Council and the property may be designated by the City of Toronto under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. Designation under Part IV enables City Council to recognize the heritage value of the Hearn Generating Station, to identify and protect the heritage attributes and review alterations to the site, 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 440 Unwin Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 440 Unwin Avenue (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (February 7, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning. 2. If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill in Council. 3. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the proposed designation to the Conservation Review Board. 4. If the designation is 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 property.

Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - 28, 38-52 and 66-74 Belmont Street
This report recommends that City Council include 14 properties identified in Recommendation 1 of this report on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The subject properties are located in the Yorkville neighbourhood, on the north side of Belmont Street, and contain a two and a half-storey detached house-form building completed by 1873 and 13 two-storey row houses that were completed between 1881 and 1886. The houses on Belmont Street have their origin in the century-long brickmaking industry of Toronto. Brickyards spread north to Yorkville in 1835, and gained prominence to the extent that a brick mould is featured in the Yorkville coat of arms. The properties at 40, 42, 46 & 48 Belmont Street were nominated for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register at the same time as the community's nomination for a Heritage Conservation District study in 2015. In 2016 City Council authorized the Belmont-Hillsboro Heritage Conservation District (HCD) study and it is included the City Planning Division's Work Program, however, it is on hold awaiting prioritization. A HCD study does not preclude Council from listing properties on the City's Heritage Register or designating individual properties in the study area under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. In August 2018, the Committee of Adjustment deferred consideration of an application seeking variances to permit alterations and additions to the property at 40 Belmont Street pending a report from Heritage Preservation Services regarding the site's potential heritage value. This application was recently withdrawn by the property owner. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the 14 properties at 28, 38-52 and 66-74 Belmont Street meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City of Toronto also applies when evaluating properties for its Heritage Register. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the item until its April 24, 2019 meeting.

Lower Yonge Official Plan Amendment - Request for Direction Report
The purpose of this report is to request direction from City Council on the pending Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) pre-hearing on the Lower Yonge Official Plan Amendment (OPA), adopted by City Council at their June 7, 8 and 9, 2016 meeting. The Lower Yonge OPA, as amended by the 1-7 Yonge Street and 55 Lake Shore Boulevard East site-specific LPAT settlements, is scheduled to be presented to the LPAT on April 11, 2019. Choice Properties REIT (ChoiceREIT) is a Party to the upcoming LPAT Pre-Hearing and requested an OPA policy change to permit two towers on Block 7 to realize the OPA density permission of 12.5 times lot area (approximately 158,000 square meters of GFA) on 10 Lower Jarvis Street. ChoiceREIT developed a two-tower built form demonstration model based upon the Lower Yonge OPA tall building criteria and policies. After extensive review of the two-tower demonstration model by City Planning, informed by the built form criteria of the City's Tall Building Guidelines, the Lower Yonge Precinct Plan and the Lower Yonge OPA, as amended by the site-specific LPAT settlements, Planning staff supports the proposed two tower policy amendment. It is recommended that City Council modify the Lower Yonge OPA to permit two towers on Block 7, bounded by future Harbour Street, future New Street, Lower Jarvis Street and Lake Shore Boulevard East, in accordance with the recommendations included within this Request for Directions Report.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and any other appropriate staff, to attend before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in support of a settlement of the Lower Yonge Official Plan Amendment with permissions for two towers on Block 7, which is bounded by New Street, Harbour Street, Lower Jarvis Street and Lake Shore Boulevard East. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to present the Draft Consolidated Lower Yonge OPA, in Attachment 1 to the supplementary report (March 12, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal pre-hearing conference scheduled for April 11, 2019. 3.

The proposal also does not conform with the Toronto Official Plan. This report recommends that the City Solicitor together with Planning Staff and other appropriate Staff be directed to oppose the appeal at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT).

Front Yard Parking Appeal - 34 Ellerbeck Street
This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. Transportation Services has assessed an appeal from the owner of 34 Ellerbeck Street for front yard parking. Front yard parking at this location is not recommended because the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 918 does not permit the licensing of a front yard parking pad where on-street permit parking is authorized on an alternate side basis and the installation of a permanent ramp would result in the loss of a permit parking space. Additionally, the Code does not permit the licencing of a front yard parking pad where the result of the poll was negative. The owner will be given an opportunity to make a deputation before Community Council.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Denied the request for front yard parking at 34 Ellerbeck Street.

Vision Zero Pop-up Event in Beaches-East York
I am excited to announce that 8 80 Cities, an organization dedicated to improving quality of life and safety in cities around the world, is looking to host a vision zero pop-up in Beaches-East York. Vision Zero has been a key City priority since the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan was approved by Council in 2016. With one pedestrian being seriously injured or killed every 3 days on Toronto's roads we have a lot of work to do on road safety. This pop-up event is a unique and exciting opportunity to move forward the conversation about road safety for all road users. It will be an invitation to residents in my community and from communities all across Toronto to come and see how a complete street looks and feels. It will be an example of all the different ways we can build a safe and happy city through 8 80 Cities' belief that "if everything we do in our public spaces is great for an 8 year old and an 80 year old, then it will be great for all people." This motion asks staff to report back to Council with how we can run a vision zero pop-up on a July or August weekend in 2019. The preliminary design, attached to this letter, proposes to temporarily narrow Danforth Avenue between Woodbine Avenue and Woodmount Avenue to two lanes of traffic (approximately 200 metres) and introducing bump-outs and midblock crossings to enhance safety. By widening the sidewalks, the pop-up will also allow for street-level animation like a performance parklet, pianos for live music, and seating areas.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to report back to the May 22, 2019 Toronto and East York Community Council meeting with a report implementing a vision zero pop-up event for one weekend in July or August 2019 in line with what has been proposed by the non-profit organization 8 80 Cities on Danforth Avenue between Woodbine Avenue and Woodmount Avenue, including but not limited to: a. a design allowing for temporary mid-block crossings, bump-outs and other traffic calming measures; b. permissions for temporary street animation tools such as planters, parklets, lighting, and murals; c. permissions for lane closures and parking location changes starting after 9:30 a.m. on a Friday and ending by 6:00 p.m. on a Sunday; d. a recommended date to host the pop-up; and, e. any temporary traffic, parking, or other by-law amendments required to implement the above. 2. Requested the General Manager, Economic Development, in conjunction with the General Manager, Transportation Services, to convene a meeting of the Business Improvement Areas on the Danforth in the study area for the upcoming Complete Street Study to review the Vision Zero program and determine if any of the BIA's are interested in running a Vision Zero pilot or education program in their area; and to review the plans for the upcoming the Danforth Avenue Planning and Complete Street Study, in particular the Retail Vibrancy and Economic Development Report.

Broadview Station Traffic and Pedestrian Safety
Broadview Subway Station is located on the Bloor-Danforth Subway line, just north of Danforth Avenue, and is a transit hub where the 8 Cosburn, 100 Flemingdon Park, 62 Mortimer, and 87 Cosburn buses and the 504 King and 505 Dundas streetcars pick-up and drop-off passengers. The station is located near the intersection of two arterial roads, Danforth Avenue and Broadview Avenue, and there is a significant volume and variety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic around the station. The existing streetcar loop is in very close proximity to Broadview Avenue and can only accommodate one of the new, longer streetcars at a time. This leaves any additional streetcars backed up onto Broadview Avenue, blocking traffic and causing congestion. Toronto Transit Commision buses and streetcars enter and exit the station using Erindale Avenue. The intersection of Broadview Avenue and Erindale Avenue does not currently have a traffic light or pedestrian crosswalk. This presents safety concerns for pedestrians and Toronto Transit Commission vehicles trying to access the station. This motion includes recommendations to protect pedestrians and improve road safety.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested Transportation staff to request the Toronto Transit Commission staff to study the possibility of reconfiguring the streetcar loading zone to allow for two streetcars to fit in the streetcar loop at Broadview Station and to report back with their findings to the June 25, 2019 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting. 2. Directed Transportation staff to conduct a traffic study for the intersection of Erindale Avenue and Broadview Avenue to identify existing traffic and congestion problems and any recommended changes and to report back with findings to Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting on September 16, 2019.

Councillor Paula Fletcher recommends that: 1.

Crossing guards play an integral role in ensuring student and community safety in many neighbourhoods across Toronto. It is, therefore, vital that crossing guards are present at designated locations each and every day. I have heard from residents about missing crossing guards, new locations where crossing guards are needed, and mixed information about who is responsible for filling these crossing guard positions. It is important that there is a consistent, effective, and responsive program in place to ensure that crossing guard positions are filled and that there is clear information about who is responsible for this program.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested Transportation Services staff to provide an update on the transfer of the crossing guard program from Toronto Police Services to the City of Toronto at the April 24, 2019 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

Realignment of Permit Parking Area "3J" to exclude 871 - 899 College Street
In reference to item TE4.11, 871-899 College Street Zoning Amendment Application and Rental Housing Demolition Applications - Final Report, the exclusion of the development located at 871 - 899 College Street from the 3J permit parking area is a means to ensure that current permit holders have sufficient parking space. The issuance of parking permits to residents of these developments would negatively impact on the already limited supply of parking spaces. Councillor Bailão is requesting approval from Toronto and East York Community Council to prohibit the General Manager from accepting applications from residents of, visitors to, and tradespersons at the subject development property. Residents have reported that it is difficult to find a parking space close to home. The area cannot absorb the potential influx from another development.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review and to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council on the realignment of Permit Parking Area "3J" to exclude the development located at 871- 899 College Street.

938-950 King Street West Community Consultation Meeting - Expanded Notice
On March 18, 2019, a community consultation meeting will be held by City Planning staff regarding the re-zoning application for 938-950 King Street West. For each community consultation meeting of this kind, it is my standard practice to bring a request to Community Council in advance, to direct City staff to provide expanded public notice of the event at cost of the applicant. Unfortunately, due to the schedule of meetings in relation to when the meeting was confirmed, it has not been possible to give this direction for 938-950 King Street West. Fortunately, the applicant agreed to work with Community Planning staff on the provision of expanded notification despite the lack of Community Council direction. I am asking that Community Council endorse and retroactively formalize this ad hoc solution in order to help ensure there are no additional challenges or complexities faced by City staff or the applicant in this respect.
The Toronto and East York Community Council approved the following: 1. Further to the community consultation meeting for lands pertaining to 938-950 King Street West held on March 18, 2019, the Toronto and East York Community Council endorse the arrangement made between City staff and the applicant for the notice provided for the community consultation meeting, to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site, and to additional residents, institutions and owners as determined in consultation with the Ward Councillor, with any additional mailing costs to be borne by the applicant.

Northcliffe Boulevard - Eastbound Right Turn Prohibition
Residents have informed me that when people exit the Green P lot located on Northcliffe Boulevard (south of St. Clair Avenue West), they often illegally turn right and then proceed to drive south. There are two existing one-way arrow signs and a few 'no entry' signs to mark the end of the partial two way operation on Northcliffe Boulevard and the starting point of the one-way north bound operation. However, this has not been sufficient to deter illegal right hand turns. The purpose of this motion is to make right turns illegal from the driveway at the Green P lot located at 94 Northcliffe Boulevard.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Prohibited eastbound right turns at all times from the driveway of 94 Northcliffe Boulevard located on the west side of Northcliffe Boulevard at a point 56 metres south of St. Clair Avenue West.

In 2017, in response to a resident petition, Traffic Operations staff undertook a speed hump feasibility study on Rankin Crescent, between Wallace Avenue and the east-west leg of Rankin Crescent. Due to the fact that the installation criteria was not met, a City poll was undertaken to determine resident support for speed humps on the section of Rankin Crescent; however, the minimum response rate of (50% + 1) was not reached. Of the residents that responded, over 70% supported the idea of having speed humps installed on Rankin Crescent. Given the negative poll results, the speed humps could not be installed at the time. Residents continue to contact my office to this day with concerns over speeding on Rankin Crescent and are asking that speed humps be installed on their street. Given the previous petition and poll results, through this motion I am asking that speed humps be installed on Rankin Crescent. In early March 2018, I sent a letter to Rankin Crescent residents informing them of my intention to proceed with having speed humps installed on their street. To date, feedback has been positive and in full support of having speed humps installed on Rankin Crescent, between Wallace Avenue and the east-west leg of Rankin Crescent.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the petition and polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and approved the installation of traffic calming on Rankin Crescent, between Wallace Avenue and the east-west leg of Rankin Crescent. 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a by-law to alter the roadway to install five speed humps on Rankin Crescent, between Wallace Avenue and the east-west leg of Rankin Crescent, generally as shown on the attached Drawing No. 421G-2600, dated August 2017 attached to the Letter (March 18, 2019) from Councillor Ana Bailão, Ward 9 Davenport.

Installation of Speed Humps on Brock Avenue - Dundas Street West to College Street
In mid-2018, I received a resident petition requesting that speed humps be installed on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street, in order to address safety concerns. Upon receiving the petition, I requested that Traffic Operations staff undertake a speed hump feasibility study. In late 2018, Traffic Operations reported back on my request to have speed humps installed on Brock Avenue. In their report, City staff recommended the installation of speed humps on this section of Brock Avenue, as the installation criteria had been met. Given that speed humps were warranted for installation on Brock Avenue, I informed residents of this by way of letter in early March 2018. To date, feedback regarding this matter has been positive and in support of speed humps on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waived the petition and polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and approved the installation of traffic calming on Brock Avenue, between Dundas Street West and College Street. 2.

Proposed lay-by for a taxicab stand - 900 Bay Street
The Macdonald Block Complex (900 Bay Street) is home to 12 cabinet ministers, 15 Ontario government ministries and 3,600 Ontario Public Service employees. The complex includes the Macdonald Block Podium, and the Hearst, Hepburn, Mowat and Ferguson towers. Given that this office complex generates numerous taxicab requests and that the current parking regulations surrounding this building prohibit stopping and curbside loading/unloading, I'm requesting that Transportation Services investigate the feasibility of installing a lay-by on Bay Street for the purposes of a taxicab stand.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Requested the Acting Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council on the feasibility of installing a lay-by to facilitate a taxicab stand on the west side of Bay Street, fronting 900 Bay Street.
