This zoning amendment application proposes an eight-storey building with 1,658 square metres of retail/commercial space at-grade and 112 residential units above at 871-899 College Street. A total of 61 parking spaces and 146 bicycle parking spaces are proposed within a one-level underground garage accessed from the rear lane.

The Rental Housing Demolition application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code (Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act) proposes to demolish two existing residential rental apartment buildings containing a total of 13 rental dwelling units and provide replacement of all 13 rental dwelling units within the proposed building. 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 an appropriate redevelopment of the site and presents a built form and public realm that is compatible with the surrounding context. The massing of the building has been revised to provide a better transition to its neighbours, and the landscaping has been revised for consistency with the local BIA streetscape plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the Zoning By-law Amendment and Rental Housing Demolition Applications.

The applications propose to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for the properties at 1 Front Street West and 141 Bay Street to permit two residential towers of 45 and 49 storeys (156.9 and 168.7 metres respectively) containing 836 units on top of the 5-storey heritage designated Dominion Public Building. The Dominion Public Building is proposed to be altered to accommodate 8,989 square metres of retail space and 22,045 square metres for a hotel with 251 rooms. A 3-level underground garage is proposed to accommodate 199 vehicular parking spaces. This report reviews and recommends refusal of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law as it does not support the role of the Financial District in maintaining office use on-site, does not provide minimum tall building setbacks, and does not conserve the scale, form and massing of the heritage Dominion Public Building. Specifically: The proposal is inconsistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), as it sets out inappropriate development standards including the absence of maximum building densities for the subject site; elimination of building setbacks from property lines and reduced tower setbacks between buildings; the inadequate mix of land uses to meet long term needs; and has not conserved the significant heritage values of the Dominion Public Building, Union Station and the Union Station Heritage Conservation District; The proposal fails to conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). It does not: provide certainty on the scale and adequate transition to adjacent areas as it applies to the subject site; has not appropriately directed major office uses within the Downtown Urban Growth Centre; and does not conserve the significant heritage values of the Dominion Public Building, Union Station, and the Union Station Heritage Conservation District; The proposal is not consistent with the general intent of the Official Plan, as it does not focus office use in the Financial District, does not provide a built form parameter that fits within the existing and planned context, and does not conserve the significant heritage values of the Dominion Public Building, the adjacent Union Station, nor the Union Station Heritage Conservation District; The proposal does not maintain the intent and purpose of Official Plan Amendment 231, Official Plan Amendment 352 and Official Plan Amendment 406, particularly with respect to the elimination of existing office use on-site and the increase in residential uses beyond the as-of-right permission. The proposal does not address nor maintain the intent of the Council approved urban design guidelines, particularly with respect to the direction to provide a minimum 25 metres of separation distance between towers and a minimum 12.5 metre tower setback from the rear lot line; and The proposal does not conserve the significant heritage attributes of the Dominion Public Building as defined by the designating By-laws under Part IV and V the Ontario Heritage Act.

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 recommends that: 1. City Council include the following 14 properties on Belmont Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register: 28 Belmont Street 38 Belmont Street 40 Belmont Street 42 Belmont Street 44 Belmont Street 46 Belmont Street 48 Belmont Street 50 Belmont Street 52 Belmont Street 66 Belmont Street 68 Belmont Street 70 Belmont Street 72 Belmont Street 74 Belmont Street
