Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) is undertaking the phased revitalization of Regent Park into a mixed-use, mixed-income neighbourhood. TCHC has made an application to amend the existing development permissions for the final two phases of the revitalization, Phases 4 and 5, which are located between Gerrard Street East to the north, River Street to the east, Oak Street to the south, and Dreamers Way to the west, excluding the property at 40 Oak Street. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law for Phases 4 and 5 of the Regent Park revitalization by amending the permitted uses, building heights and tower locations, and other performance standards. The amended Zoning By-law would permit the proposed development of 12 buildings with heights ranging from 6 to 39 storeys. The application proposes 3,246 residential units, of which 633 will be replacement social housing units and 637 are proposed as new affordable housing units. The application also includes 10,461 square metres of retail and office space, 3,714 square metres of community space, and a new Toronto Public Library branch relocated from Parliament Street. This site is the subject of an existing Section 37 Agreement registered as Instrument Number AT934744. The application would also require amendments to the existing Section 37 Agreement to adjust certain requirements related to demolition and replacement of the existing social housing and to secure the new community space in Phases 4 and 5. This report also recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application to demolish the remaining 527 social housing units in Regent Park, which will be replaced as part of the revitalization. The replacement social housing units constructed in Phases 4 and 5 will fulfill the overall obligation to replace all of the social housing units that existed in Regent Park prior to the revitalization.

This report recommends that City Council approve the revised heritage permit application for the heritage properties at 1404-1420 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 33 and Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The revised heritage permit application is in conjunction with Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendment applications that were approved by Council in 2022 for a 50-storey building at the subject lands. Approval was granted by City Council in July 2022 for alterations to the heritage property at 1420 Yonge Street and for the demolition of the building at the heritage property at 1406 Yonge Street in connection with the above noted Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendment applications. The heritage permit application has now been revised to also seek approval for the demolition of the heritage property at 1404 Yonge Street and to amend the conservation strategy for the heritage property at 1420 Yonge Street. Located on the west side of Yonge Street just south of St. Clair Avenue within the Deer Park neighbourhood, the properties at 1404-1406 Yonge Street form the end of a row of 3-storey main street commercial buildings that were constructed in 1932 in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and which are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. To their immediate north and separated by a driveway entry into St. Michael's Cemetery, the adjacent 1420 Yonge Street contains a complete block of four, 2-storey main street commercial row buildings that were also constructed in 1932 and designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The demolition of 1404 Yonge Street will provide open space adjacent to the proposed new 50-storey building and allow improved views of the St. Michael's Cemetery from Yonge Street. Demolition of 1404 Yonge Street, combined with the existing approval for 1406 Yonge Street would trigger Official Plan rental replacement policies. The proposal is considered acceptable from a heritage perspective within a framework that considers several city and area priorities for this site, including the restoration of the front of 1420 Yonge Street. The remaining row of Spanish Colonial Revival style commercial buildings within this part of Yonge Street allows the eclectic mix of early 20th-century main street commercial properties that characterize the streetscape of this part of Yonge Street to be maintained. The proposed change to the conservation strategy for 1420 Yonge Street includes the introduction of a double height space for the new residential entrance lobby. This will result in the reintroduced second floor spanning approximately three-quarters of the retained heritage façade.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council approve the alterations to the heritage property at 1420 Yonge Street (including entrance addresses at 1418, 1422, 1424, 1426 and 1428 Yonge Street), in accordance with Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act, to allow for the construction of a 50-storey building, with such alterations to be substantially in accordance with architectural drawings dated April 18, 2023, prepared by IBI Group and on file with the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning and the Heritage Impact Assessment for 1404-1428 Yonge Street, prepared by Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd.

This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the heritage property at 64 Wellesley Street East (designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act) in connection with the development of the subject site. The development site at 64 Wellesley Street East contains the Wellesley Apartments, a five-storey, multi-unit residential apartment building. It was designed by architect James Ernest Harris Paisley, and built in 1931 for apartment developer Grover C. Murdoch. The property is associated with the pre-World War II apartment building type, its design is a representative example of the Georgian Revival style, and it supports the context of the Church-Wellesley Village, which is characterized by a high-concentration of pre-war apartment buildings. The property at 64 Wellesley Street East is designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and has design and physical, historical and associative, and contextual values. The development application proposes a 31-storey plus mechanical penthouse mixed-use building, the retention of a portion of the existing Wellesley Apartments building and the demolition of the remaining buildings on the site at 64-66 Wellesley Street East and 552-570 Church Street. The retained portion of the heritage building is proposed to be restored with minor modifications to the ground floor openings to support barrier-free access. The existing World Pride Murals on the buildings at 66 Wellesley Street East and 552-554 Church Street will be lost through the proposed for demolition but the murals will be commemorated through documentation and an interpretation strategy.

This report recommends that City Council include fifteen properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for their cultural heritage value and interest. The fifteen properties being recommended for inclusion on the Register are as follows: 1191 Bathurst Street, Toronto-St. Paul's - Ward 12 6 Cawthra Square, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 8 Cawthra Square, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 10 Cawthra Square, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 12 Cawthra Square, Toronto Centre - Ward 13 21 Kensington Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 23 Kensington Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 25 Kensington Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 27 Kensington Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 29 Kensington Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 31 Kensington Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 33 Kensington Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 35 Kensington Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 37 Kensington Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 171 Lowther Avenue, University-Rosedale - Ward 11 The fifteen properties recommended for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register have been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed in Ontario Regulation 9/06 and meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest and are believed to be of cultural heritage value or interest. The subject properties include two detached and two semi-detached house-form buildings on Cawthra Square, a four-storey, factory/warehouse type building on Bathurst Street near Davenport Avenue, three adjacent groupings of bay-and-gable, house-form buildings that collectively support an important streetscape within the Kensington Market Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District study area, and a detached, two-and-a-half-storey house in the West Annex Phase II Heritage Conservation District study area. On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (the Act) through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Act, as amended, a municipal heritage register may include properties that have not been designated but Council believes to be of "cultural heritage value or interest", and that meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining whether they are of cultural heritage value or interest. The Act now also limits listing to a period of two years. As of January 1, 2023, should a property be subject to an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application, properties must be listed on the heritage register prior to Part IV designation and before the occurrence of a prescribed event. A prescribed event is a point of time when the application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application has been deemed complete and the City Clerk provides notice of that complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act. The listing of non-designated properties on the municipal heritage register under the Act also extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Act should a development or demolition application be submitted. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the following eleven properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Listing Statements (Reasons for Inclusion) attached as Attachments 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 to the report (May 4, 2023) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning: 1191 Bathurst Street 21 Kensington Avenue 23 Kensington Avenue 25 Kensington Avenue 27 Kensington Avenue 29 Kensington Avenue 31 Kensington Avenue 33 Kensington Avenue 35 Kensington Avenue 37 Kensington Avenue 171 Lowther Avenue

Kensington Market Safe Streets Implementation: Prioritizing Pedestrians in Kensington Market
Kensington Market is a cultural, community and commercial centre and a destination with high pedestrian traffic and local business operations. In 2024 and 2025, road rehabilitation and watermain replacement is programmed on several streets within Kensington Market due to the condition of the aging infrastructure: - Augusta Avenue from College Street to Dundas Street West - Baldwin Street from Augusta Avenue to Spadina Avenue - Nassau Street from Bellevue Avenue to Augusta Avenue - Kensington Avenue from Dundas Street West to Baldwin Street - St. Andrew Street from Kensington Avenue to Spadina Avenue The programmed work presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve safety and accessibility while supporting local businesses. Extensive feedback from local stakeholders and the public has been sought through three rounds of consultation between Fall 2021 and Spring 2023. Transportation Services is recommending a design that will prioritize pedestrians while accommodating slow speed vehicle access for local residents and enhancing loading opportunities for businesses. Key features include: - Mid-block curb extensions to calm vehicular traffic and provide space for cafes, pedestrians and furnishings (bike parking, waste receptacles, etc.); - Curb extensions and reduced corner radii at intersections wherever possible; - Widened sidewalks on Augusta Street, Nassau Street and St. Andrew Street; - A universally-accessible rolled curb installed on all streets; - Concrete pavers on roadways that are permeable where possible to filter and reduce stormwater runoff; - Dedicated Commercial Loading Areas - 160 metres of commercial loading area, providing twelve (12) spaces for large delivery trucks; - Flexible Loading Areas - 234 metres of by-lawed no-parking areas that would allow temporary loading, deliveries and pick-up and drop-off, providing eighteen (18) spaces for large delivery trucks or forty-two (42 spaces) for passenger vehicles; - Reduced speed limits on all streets in the project area from 30 km/h to 20 km/h; - More bike parking and Bike Share Toronto stations; - Pedestrian-scale street lighting in partnership with the Kensington Market BIA; and - Street trees added where possible. Transportation Services also proposes to pursue a pedestrianisation pilot project following the completion of construction. This would allow more time to consult with local businesses and residents, other City Divisions and the public to determine the best balance for Kensington Market that puts pedestrians first, while also keeping the Market accessible for businesses and local residents. Staff would form and work closely with a local stakeholder committee to consult on, implement and evaluate a temporary pedestrianised zone within Kensington Market. Consultation on the pedestrianisation pilot would begin in 2024 during the tendering and construction periods of the project.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Authorized the installation of the Kensington Market Safe Streets Project and all required by-law amendments to Toronto Municipal Code Chapters 903, 910, 925, 950, as generally described in Attachment 1 to the report (June 6, 2023) from the Director, Project Design and Management. 2. Directed staff to form and work closely with a local stakeholder committee to consult on and propose to implement a time-restricted pilot project to test and evaluate a pedestrianised zone following construction of the capital works. 3. Directed Transportation Services and Engineering and Construction Services staff, in consultation with Economic Development and Culture, to work closely with the community and local businesses while completing detailed design, to develop a plan to: a. minimize the construction disruption in Kensington Market; b. ensure delivery and pickup access to each business throughout and following construction; c. provide robust and regular notification to all businesses before and during the construction period; d. work closely with community and local businesses to minimize and to communicate any property, delivery, loading and other impacts; and e. evaluate whether to reduce the speed limit from 40 kilometres per hour to 20 kilometres per hour on Nassau Street, between Augusta Avenue and Spadina Avenue. 4. Requested the Director, Project Design and Management, Transportation Services to include in the detailed design all reasonable measures to discourage non-resident through-traffic through Kensington Market. 5. Requested the General Manager, Economic and Community Development and Culture to take every reasonable step to assist Kensington Market businesses throughout construction. 6. Requested the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture report directly to City Council on any impacts on small business in the Kensington Market Safe Streets Implementation: Prioritizing Pedestrians in Kensington Market.

All-Way Stop Control at St. Clarens Avenue and Shirley Street
Traffic Operations was requested by Vision Zero to review proposed sidewalk and curb improvements for St. Clarens Avenue and Shirley Street which would provide safe crossing in all directions at the intersection. The intersection is currently uncontrolled, and pedestrians were crossing at their own risk. As a result, an All-Way Stop Control (AWSC) warrant was undertaken to determine if an AWSC could be installed at this intersection. While an AWSC was found not to be warranted, staff determined it would be beneficial to have an AWSC installed here due to the following reasons: -The presence of a nearby school (Shirley Street Junior Public School) which also houses City View Alternative Senior School, an EarlyON Child and Family Centre, and a YMCA Child Care Centre -Providing crossing at the intersection for students and parents/guardians -An opportunity to provide safe crossing in all directions -To mitigate conflicts amongst motorists, cyclists and pedestrians -Network connectivity; this control will provide a route with protected pedestrian crossings that connect to the new signals on Lansdowne Avenue and the West Toronto Railpath

Permit Parking Amendments on Campbell Avenue
My office received a petition from residents of Campbell Avenue requesting changes to the permit parking hours on Campbell Avenue between Dupont Street and Antler Street, including a rush hour parking prohibition from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. While there was support in favour of this initiative, there is a highly utilized employment building on Campbell Avenue and a concern was raised about customer parking during these hours. As a result, I am recommending that the permit parking hours be implemented on a section of the block instead of the full block. These changes will balance the loading and parking needs of the local businesses in the area, and residents are supportive of this compromise in the changes.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing permit parking regulation in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., daily, on the even (west) side of Campbell Avenue, from Antler Street to Dupont Street. 2. Authorized permit parking to be in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, on the (even) west side of Campbell Avenue, from Antler Street to a point 95 metres north. 3. Authorized permit parking to be in effect from 12:01 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. daily, on the even (west) side of Campbell Avenue, from a point 95 metres north of Antler Street to Dupont Street. 4.

CaféTO Curb Lane Cafés on Queen Street West
Queen Street West will be undergoing a significant amount of construction and transit modifications due to the Ontario Line project, including hosting potential public transit diversions, over the next several years. As a result, businesses that may be eligible for a curb lane café in 2023 may not be able to install that café in future years. There is also the potential that some operators may not be able to participate for the full duration of the 2023 CaféTO season should there be nearby unexpected construction impacts. To mitigate the impact of these challenges, this motion seeks to assist businesses with the option to install a temporary ramp in 2023 instead of a temporary accessible platform should there be a need to revoke their curb lane café permit due to construction impacts this year.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards or General Manager , Transportation Services to exempt curb lane café permit areas on Queen Street West between University Avenue and Bathurst Street from the requirements of § 742-10.4. B(6) and B(7) and § 742-10.4 C(1) and C(3) of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafés, Parklets and Marketing Displays, to October 15, 2023, but require any affected permit holder to do the following during that period: a. install a temporary ramp in their permit area which provides for safe access to the permit area from the sidewalk in accordance with the requirements of § 742-10.4 C(2).

Year Round Curb Lane Café Operations on King Street West
City Council, at its meeting of November 26 and 27, 2019 adopted the extension of the approval for year-round operation of parklets and parklet cafés on King Street and Duncan Street until April 14, 2023. The original staff report, King Street Transit Pilot - Outdoor Cafés & Public Installations in the Curb Lane Public Spaces was adopted March 26th and 27th, 2018. Curb lane cafés that were issued permits prior to CaféTO have continued to operate from 2020 to 2023 within the original parklet café requirements and permissions implemented as part of the King Street Transit Pilot in 2018. These requirements pre-date the creation of Chapter 742, Sidewalk Cafés, Parklets and Marketing Displays in 2019 and the guidelines established through the CaféTO program in 2020. Curb lane café operators under the King Street Transit Pilot umbrella were required to pay an application fee and install a temporary accessible platform which they were permitted to keep in place curb lane year-round. Curb lane cafés approved within the King Street Transit Priority Corridor catchment area prior to the implementation of Chapter 742 and the CaféTO Guidelines do not meet current traffic safety and placement criteria, including intersections setbacks and the required cycling offset. To bring King Street cafés into compliance with current requirements, site specific traffic safety and placement reviews will be completed by staff and new traffic safety plans developed for each location in 2024. While new permit application submissions, including temporary accessible platform plans, will be required to obtain revised R58 permits, the requisite fees were paid by the King Street operators for their original permits and will not be charged again.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council approve the temporary closure to vehicular traffic of the westerly southbound curb lane of Duncan Street between a point 4.2 metres south of Richmond Street West and a point 27.1 metres further south from April 14, 2023 to December 31, 2023 inclusive, for the operation of a parklet café. 2. City Council authorize the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, to extend permits that were issued before June 1, 2020 and remained active until April 14, 2023 for existing R58 curb lane café permit holders on Duncan Street and within the King Street Transit Priority Corridor until December 31, 2023. 3. City Council authorize the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, to extend permits that were issued after April 15, 2023 for existing R58 curb lane café permit holders within the King Street Transit Priority Corridor until December 31, 2023. 4. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards to report back before the end of 2023 assessing the feasibility of the continuance of year-round curb lane café operations within the King Street Transit Priority Corridor, and identify the required permit conditions for curb lane café permits issued in 2024 and beyond.

In July of 2022, City Council approved Official Plan Amendment Zoning By-law Amendment applications in order to permit the redevelopment of the lands at 1406-1428 Yonge Street with a mixed use building ( Agenda Item History - 2022.TE34.44 (toronto.ca ). At the time of the approval, it was unknown whether the parkland contribution in respect of the redevelopment would be fulfilled by way of a cash-in-lieu of parkland contribution or an off-site parkland dedication, or a combination thereof. Since that time, the owner, in consultation with my office, has proposed to add 1404 Yonge Street to the development proposal in order to provide adjacent open space as off-site parkland. City staff require direction from City Council to accept the 1404 Yonge Street property in partial fulfilment of the Section 42 requirements for the redevelopment of 1406-1428 Yonge Street. The conveyance of the1404 Yonge Street property (which is encumbered by existing easements and agreements) to the City would satisfy 50% of the parkland dedication requirement, with the remaining 50% to be satisfied through a cash-in-lieu payment prior to the issuance of the first above grade permit. In order to provide the 1404 Yonge Street property as open space for off-site parkland, the existing building must be demolished, triggering a requirement for heritage and rental housing demolition applications. Those matters are being considered by TEYCC at this meeting (Agenda Item History - 2023.TE6.30 (toronto.ca) and Agenda Item History - 2023.TE6.18 (toronto.ca) respectively), and therefor this motion is urgent. The 2022 approval also contemplated a Section 37 financial contribution of $3,380,000.00, payable prior to the issuance of the first above-grade building permit, to be allocated to a variety of matters. Some of these matters will be provided by the applicant in-kind, on-site or in the vicinity of the site. This motion further clarifies that the secured Section 37 financial contribution may be fulfilled by an indexed cash contribution of $2,850,000.00, and an indexed letter of credit in the amount of $530,000.00 to secure the provision of in-kind benefits, consistent with the matters secured in the approved zoning by-law. The City Solicitor requires this clarification so that the Section 37 Agreement can be drafted accordingly.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct that, pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act, prior to the first above grade building permit, the owner shall convey to the City an off-site parkland dedication, comprised of the property municipally known in the year 2023 as 1404 Yonge Street, which shall satisfy 50 percent of the parkland dedication requirement, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the City Solicitor, and: a. the remaining 50 percent of the parkland dedication requirement shall be satisfied through a cash-in-lieu payment pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act and will be appraised through Corporate Real Estate Management, prior to the issuance of the first above grade building permit; and b. the parkland shall be conveyed to the City free and clear, above and below grade, of all easements, encumbrances, and encroachments, in an acceptable environmental condition with the exception of encumbrances of tiebacks, agreements, and existing easements; and any tiebacks will be subject to the payment of compensation to the City, in an amount as determined by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management. 2. City Council approve a development charge credit against the Parks and Recreation component of the Development Charges for the design and construction by the Owner of the Above Base Park Improvements to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation; the development charge credit shall be in an amount that is the lesser of the cost to the Owner of designing and constructing the Above Base Park Improvements, as approved by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, and the Parks and Recreation component of development charges payable for the development in accordance with the City's Development Charges By-law, as may be amended from time to time. 3. City Council direct the City Solicitor to secure the offsite parkland dedication requirement as a legal convenience in the Section 37 Agreement for the development at 1406-1428 Yonge Street, together with the related replacement rental housing and heritage conservation matters. 4. City Council direct that the secured Section 37 financial contribution of $3,380,000.00 may be fulfilled by an indexed cash contribution of $2,850,000.00, and an indexed letter of credit in the amount of $530,000.00 to secure the provision of in-kind benefits onsite or in the vicinity of the site, consistent with the matters secured in the approved Zoning By-law, to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor.

Rescind Turning Restrictions on Hillsdale Avenue for Vehicles Exiting Art Shoppe Condominium
I'm writing today to request your support in rescinding the turning restrictions that were installed on Hillsdale Avenue East prior to occupancy at 2131 Yonge Street (Art Shoppe Condominium). Just prior to occupancy in 2020, there was concern amongst residents and the South Eglinton and Davisville Ratepayers' Association (SEDRA) that traffic exiting out of the southern driveway of Art Shoppe Condos would cause significant traffic infiltration in the community east of Yonge. However, through site plan approval, the number of vehicular parking spots was decreased and the commercial profile changed to smaller tenants. Upon reviewing the traffic volumes in spring 2022 undertaken by members of the condo found that traffic was 20% less than what was projected by the developer. In this spirit, the Board at Art Shoppe Condos has requested our office move forward with rescinding these restrictions to allow for easier and flexible egress from the Condo. My office has received confirmation from SEDRA that they are in accordance with this proposal.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Rescinded the existing westbound right turn prohibition in effect at all times at the intersection of Hillsdale Avenue East and the private driveway at 2131 Yonge Street located on the north side of Hillsdale Avenue East, approximately 70 metres east of Yonge Street. 2.
