The purpose of the report is to seek direction on proposed changes to a settlement previously approved by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) and to seek approval of the associated Rental Housing Demolition Application. The Zoning By-law Amendment application for a mixed use building at 321 - 333 King Street West was the subject of a settlement between the applicant and the City at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (Case No. PL110554) in October of 2012. The settlement was opposed by Albert Carbone, a local restaurant owner. In a decision dated May 9, 2013, the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal approved the settlement for a 47-storey mixed-use building at a height of 154.5 metres (including mechanical elements) with 304 residential units, including ten (10) rental dwelling units. The settlement was based on an agreement between the City and the appellant that the final Tribunal Order would be held until all outstanding matters, including the rental housing and other necessary agreements, were resolved. Other matters to be secured included the agreements and reports required to secure the retention of the facades of the heritage buildings on the site, which were to be incorporated into the base of the building. The Rental Housing Demolition application at 321 - 333 King Street West seeks approval to demolish two existing buildings containing rental dwelling units at 321 and 325 King Street West. All six (6) units would be replaced within a new residential building on the property. Subsequent to the 2013 decision by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal to approve the settlement between the then applicant and the City, the property was acquired by Empire Communities. The new owner proposed the following changes to the development. These changes are as follows: Inclusion of the adjacent site to the east (321 King Street West) within the development site. An increase in the number of storeys from 47 to 49, within the approved zoning envelope. An increase in the total Gross Floor Area of the building from 21,100 square metres to 23,139 square metres. A reduction in the number of car spaces from 102 to 54 spaces (which includes 3 car share spaces). The provisions of 386 bicycle parking spaces, whereas the previously approved by-law required 200. The conservation of the heritage buildings on the site is proposed to be changed with a the demolition of the designated Gardner Boyd Buildings at 327 (333) King Street West and the construction of a new three-storey building in its place. The applicant agreed to deepen the affordability so that the ten rental units would be rented at 85 per cent of average market rents for a period of at least 20 years. City Planning staff support the proposed revisions as they are consistent with the earlier settlement and in some cases and are an improvement to the development and the associated community benefits.

This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties at 8 Elm Street and 348 - 350 Yonge Street, in connection with the proposed redevelopment of the site and per the settlement offer submitted to the City on April 8, 2019, in conjunction with an appeal to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal ("LPAT") of the application for Zoning By-law Amendment. This report also recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 348 - 350 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, include the property on the City's Heritage Register and give authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the property and amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement for the property at 8 Elm Street which is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The original application proposed an 80 storey mixed use building on a smaller site, being 8 Elm Street. That application was refused by City Council at the November 8, 2016 meeting and subsequently appealed to the LPAT. A revised 84-storey proposal was subsequently submitted to LPAT by the applicant. Since that time, the applicant has worked with City staff to address various planning issues and has submitted a revised application following LPAT led mediation. The revised proposal is for a 67-storey mixed-use office residential development with at-grade retail uses at 8 Elm Street and 348-356 Yonge Street. As part of the project scope, the existing properties at both 8 Elm Street and 348-350 Yonge Street will be conserved and incorporated into the redevelopment. Additionally, the unlisted property at 352-354 Yonge Street would be dismantled and reconstructed at the project site. The new development will be stepped back 5 metres from the Elm Street frontage and 7.5 metres from the Yonge Street frontage at roof level. The conservation strategy will not significantly impact the three dimensional form of the buildings as viewed from the public realm. Should the alterations to the subject property be approved, staff recommend that the property owner be required to amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement at 8 Elm Street and to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the property at 348-350 Yonge Street in order to ensure the long-term protection of the heritage properties.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: Should City Council decide to accept the settlement offer for the Zoning By-law Amendments dated April 8, 2019, and should the Zoning By-law Amendment come into full force and effect, it is recommended that City Council take the following actions to secure the following matters: 1. City Council include the property at 348-350 Yonge Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. 2. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 348-350 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 348-350 Yonge Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 5 to the report May 1, 2019 from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services. 3. If there are no objections to the designations in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 4. If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the designation to the Conservation Review Board. 5. If the designations are 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 on the designation of the property. 6.

The site contains a complex known historically as the Danforth Carhouse, which is currently owned by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It was developed beginning in 1914 by the Toronto Civic Railways (TCR), expanded by the Toronto Transportation Commission (forerunner to today's TTC) and the TTC and currently used as offices and staff facilities for TTC personnel. In 2015, City Council requested that the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue be researched and evaluated for inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. It has been identified for its potential cultural heritage value in the Danforth Avenue Planning Study (2018). It is the selected site for a police station consolidating 54 and 55 Divisions. The property at 1627 Danforth Avenue is part of a Master Plan study being undertaken by CreateTO to guide the redevelopment of the site as a multi-use civic hub for the Toronto Transit Commission, the Toronto Police Service and the Toronto Public Library as the key anchor tenants, which will incorporate and adaptively reuse the Danforth Carhouse.
The Toronto and Easy York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion), attached as Attachment 3 to the report (April 4, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning.

This application proposes to remove the Holding Symbol (H) from City of Toronto By-law No.674-2019 (LPAT), for lands that form the first phase of the FedEx North development proposal located at 215 Lake Shore Boulevard East which comprises approximately 1,174 residential units with at grade retail. City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 674-2019 (LPAT), was issued on October 23, 2018, through Decision and Order by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), and permits a maximum of 134,750 square metres of mixed-use development. The current proposal includes approximately 85,000 square metres of gross floor area with 1,174 residential units. The subject site (FedEx North) is located at 215 Lake Shore Boulevard East, and is part of a larger block of land, which includes properties at 178-180 Queens Quay East (FedEx South), and 162 Queens Quay East. The FedEx North property is owned by Greenland Lakeside Development Company Ltd (Greenland). The zoning by-law amendment application was filed by Greenland to remove the holding symbol (H) from Phase 1 of the development as identified on Schedule '1' of Attachment 1 of this report. A related Draft Plan of Subdivision application was also submitted to create a new public road, two development blocks, and land dedications to be conveyed to the City for the reconfiguration of Lower Sherbourne Street. The holding symbol (H) was placed on the lands as part of conditions of approval as set out in Ontario Municipal Board Minutes of Settlement, June 23, 2016, (OMB Case No.: PL101091; OMB File No.: PL030412, PL030514, PL060106, PL101091). Removal of the holding provision requires submission of supporting materials including a Housing Issues Report describing how affordable rental housing requirements will be met, and a Noise and Odour Study to demonstrate that appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented. Greenland has satisfied all matters and conditions for removing the Holding Symbol from the Zoning By-law for lands within the first phase of the Plan of Subdivision. This report recommends approval of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, which removes the 'H' as shown as Attachments No. 1 to the report (May 3, 2019) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and that no further public notice be required pursuant to Sections 34 of the Planning Act. All other conditions required for the adoption of the Bills by Council have been satisfied by the applicant. City Council may then proceed to enact the Bills as attached.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend Zoning By-law No. 674-2019 Local Planning Appeals Tribunal, for the lands within FedEx North, Phase 1 (215 Lake Shore Boulevard East), substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 1 to the report (May 3, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required.

210 Bloor Street West - Zoning Amendment Application - Refusal Report
This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law for the property at 210 Bloor Street West to permit a 29-storey mixed use building (115 metres including the mechanical penthouse) containing 42 dwelling units and 116 square metres of commercial space. A total of 80 parking spaces are proposed within a three-level underground garage accessed by two car lifts. This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Zoning By-law as it is overdevelopment of the small narrow property and it results in a significant density of 20.25 times the area of lot. Given the small site size, the proposed building cannot provide appropriate stepbacks above the Canyon Form Base building height of 20-storeys (62 metres) as required in the Downtown Tall Buildings - Vision and Supplementary Design Guidelines. The proposed development is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), as it sets out inappropriate development standards including inadequate setbacks and tower stepbacks. As a result, the proposed development negatively impacts the access to sunlight for existing residents by locating the proposed building too close to existing and planned buildings on neighbouring properties. The proposal fails to conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017). It does not provide the appropriate scale of development and transition of built form to adjacent areas. The proposal does not adequately address policies contained in the City's Official Plan, including Official Plan Amendment 352 and Official Plan Amendment 406 which provide direction on tall building setbacks and separation distances, as well as the appropriate transition in scale of buildings within the Downtown.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council refuse the application for the Zoning By-law Amendment at 210 Bloor Street West for the reasons set out in the report (May 3, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with appropriate staff, to appear before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") in support of City Council's decision to refuse the application, in the event the application is appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and other appropriate staff to take any necessary steps to implement City Council's decision. 4. City Council request the City Solicitor to request the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal to withhold its order in the event that the project is approved in some form, until the following have been secured: a. the final form of the Zoning By-law Amendments are to the satisfaction of the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the City Solicitor; b. the owner has revised the Site Servicing and Stage 2 Stormwater Management Report to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services; and c. community benefits and other matters in support of the development are secured in a Section 37 Agreement executed by the owner and registered on title to the satisfaction of the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District and the City Solicitor.

The application proposes a Zoning By-law amendment for the property at 409 and 415 Yonge Street and 9 and 17 McGill Street to permit a 42-storey residential addition above an existing 19-storey office building resulting in an overall building height of 61 storeys (233 metres) and a floor space index (FSI) of 24.3 times the area of the lot. The proposed addition would include 450 residential dwelling units totalling 36,128 square metres in area and also proposes: 900 square metres of indoor amenity area and no outdoor amenity space; 74 parking spaces located below grade within the three levels of the existing parking garage; and 577 bicycle parking spaces. As a whole, the proposed building would comprise a total of 53,064 square metres, of which 16,936 square metres is existing non-residential gross floor area. This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposal is inconsistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), fails to conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2017), and does not conform with the policies of the City of Toronto Official Plan. The proposal is inconsistent with the policies of the Downtown Secondary Plan (OPA 406), Downtown Tall Building Setback Area Specific Policy No. 517 (OPA 352), Site and Area Specific Policy No. 151, and does not appropriately respond to the Tall Building Design Guidelines, the Downtown Tall Buildings: Vision and Supplementary Design Guidelines and the Growing Up Guidelines. Specifically, the proposed development is of a scale, height and density that is not appropriate in relation to its existing and planned context; the proposal does not provide for an appropriate transition to the adjacent physically stable Neighbourhood (McGill Granby); the proposal does not provide minimum tall building setbacks and stepbacks and an appropriate floorplate size; a portion of the proposed development is within the portion of the property designated as Parks and Open Space, introducing residential uses within a park, contrary to the Official Plan; the proposed development has negative shadow impacts on the adjacent Neighbourhood (McGill Granby) and local Parks and Open Space areas and negative wind impacts. The proposed development does not provide a full range of housing to meet the needs of all household sizes and income levels and does not provide a sufficient amount of amenity space and parking for future residents.

The owner of the properties municipally known as 406-410 Keele Street has appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application for these lands to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal ("LPAT") citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time period prescribed under the Planning Act. There have been three Pre-Hearing Conferences held regarding this application. An additional Pre-Hearing Conference is scheduled for August 2, 2019, and a Hearing has been scheduled for November 18-29, 2019. The application proposes to amend the Official Plan, City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 and former City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 438-86, to permit the construction of a 5-storey (including mezzanine level above the ground floor) residential building containing 30 dwelling units at 406-410 Keele Street. The site density would be 2.98 times the area of the lot. The proposed building would front on both Keele Street and Vine Avenue. Vehicular access is proposed from Vine Avenue to a below ground parking garage. There would be rooftop access to private amenity space through rooftop stairway enclosures. As well, clerestories are proposed on the rooftop (a clerestory is similar to a skylight, except the window is located on a portion of wall that rises above the rooftop to allow light into the space below). Since the last Pre-Hearing Conference at the LPAT, the applicant has significantly revised the application.
