Additional materials to make the application complete were submitted on October 6, 2020. A Site Plan Control application was submitted on August 19, 2021. In July 2022, a new owner purchased the subject property from the previous applicant. Subsequently, on October 27, 2022, the new owner appealed the Zoning By-law and Site Plan applications to the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT") as a result of City Council not making a decision within the timeframe legislated by the Planning Act.

The heritage building continues to be incorporated into the proposed development. The revised proposal is the subject of the appeal before the OLT and this report.

In our respective wards, Wards 4 (Parkdale-High Park), 9 (Davenport), 11 (University-Rosedale), 12 (Toronto-St. Paul's), 13 (Toronto Centre) and 14 (Toronto-Danforth), there are sections of arterial roads that are already 40 km/h due to the proximity to schools or because of the 2016 Council approval of the Road Safety Plan to reduce the number of road fatalities and serious injuries. However, there are still arterial roads that are 50 km/h. With staff support, we are looking to have all arterial roads, except Lake Shore Blvd, in our wards, be reduced to 40 km/h. The intent of this motion is to improve safety and provide consistency.

Parking and Traffic Regulations - 10 Armoury Street (New Ontario Court of Justice)
The Ontario government is opening a new courthouse in Toronto as part of its plan to modernize and improve access to the justice system.

Located at 10 Armoury Street, the new courthouse is bounded by Armoury Street, Centre Avenue and Chestnut Street. As part of this development, various on-street parking and traffic amendments have been proposed on these roadways in order to improve barrier free parking, curbside management and also to enhance safe traffic operations in this area. The following recommendation will address this matter.

I am writing to request your support in directing Traffic Operations Staff to install a speed hump on Winona Drive before the intersection with Earlsdale Avenue. Local residents and concerned parents reach out to both my office and Councillor Bravo's office, advising that this intersection should have additional traffic calming measures. There is a stop sign, but as this section of Winona Drive is one-way and downhill between Vaughan Road and St. Clair Avenue, there are many vehicles passing through - many of which fail to stop properly. At a site visit with concerned residents, my staff were informed that a speed hump prior to the intersection would be a start in getting adequate traffic calming measures at this intersection.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Waive the polling requirement under the City's Traffic Calming Policy and authorized the installation of traffic calming (speed hump) on Winona Drive, between Holland Park Avenue and Earlsdale Avenue (north intersection). 2. Directed the City Solicitor to prepare a By-law to alter the roadway to install one speed hump on Winona Drive, between Holland Park Avenue and Earlsdale Avenue (north intersection), generally as shown on Drawing TC-145 dated May, 2023, from the Director, Traffic Management, Transportation Services.

100 College Street - Revising Heritage Designation Status
On August 7, 2020, the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning, recommended that City Council include the property at 100 College Street (the University of Toronto's Banting Institute) on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register, and state its intention to designate the property at 100 College Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. On September 16, 2020, Toronto East York Community Council deferred consideration of this recommendation until consideration of a rezoning application for this address, or consideration of the University of Toronto Secondary Plan, whichever came first. Since that time, the city has approved the University of Toronto Secondary Plan. In accordance with the Plan, the University is now seeking a development partner to build a major, much-needed, new life sciences innovation centre at this address. This centre will be a major economic asset for the city, creating thousands of jobs, and attracting top talent from around the world. The University of Toronto has satisfied me that it is not adviseable to designate 100 College Street under the Ontario Heritage Act, because designation would impede the financing and construction of this important new life sciences innovation centre. In addition, ERA Architects have provided a persuasive case that the building itself does not merit designation under the Heritage Act in terms of the 9 criteria specified in Ont. Reg. 9/06 for heritage value assessment. ERA advises that this building does not meet any of the 9 criteria. In particular, it is not the building in which Banting and Best made their world-changing discoveries, it was simply built and named in Banting's honour after the fact. Commemorating Banting and Best's discoveries is important, both to the city and to the University. Through the attached letter from President Gertler, the University has committed to work with the city on a commemoration plan that will highlight this legacy. To preserve a physical reminder of the imposing brick buildings that were built along this part of College Street in the 1930s, the University has also committed to incorporate the current 100 College St. door in an external display. For these reasons I am recommending the following.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council decline to designate or list 100 College Street under the Ontario Heritage Act. 2. When a zoning application is received for 100 College Street, City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to secure the commitments set out in Attachment 1 to the revised letter (May 19, 2023) from Councillor Dianne Saxe, namely: a. a commemorative strategy for acknowledgement of the University of Toronto's discoveries in life sciences including Banting and Best's work on Insulin, Till and McCulloch's discovery of stem cells, and its continued work in the area of regenerative medicine, at the time of development; and b. preservation of the current 100 College Street door while prioritizing option for its inclusion in an external display.
