2010-2016 Bathurst Street - Official Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment - Final Report
This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan, City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 and former City of York Zoning By-law 1-83 for 2010-2016 Bathurst Street, to permit an 8-storey, 29.65 metre (35.75 metres including mechanical penthouse), residential apartment building with 26 dwelling units and a total gross floor area of 4,632 square metres. The overall density is 5.0 times the area of the lot. A total of 40 vehicular parking spaces are proposed within 3 levels of underground parking. Entry to the underground garage is proposed at the southwest corner of the building from the adjacent substandard public laneway which is required to be widened by 1.06 metres. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) as it provides a density and a mix of land uses which efficiently use land and resources. It is also transit-supportive being in close proximity to the future Eglinton LRT station at Bathurst Street and Eglinton Avenue West. The proposal conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) as it provides for an appropriate type and scale of development that provides an acceptable transition of built form to adjacent areas. The proposed building is to be located and massed to provide a transition to neighbouring properties through appropriate setbacks and stepping down of height toward the Neighbourhoods and to adequately limit shadow impacts on those adjacent lower scale residential areas.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council amend the Official Plan, for the lands at 2010 Bathurst Street substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report (September 23, 2019) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District. 2.

The Common Elements Condominium application proposes to establish the drive aisle, driveway, landscape area, parking area, and a shared mechanical and electrical room as a common element for nine townhouses and one commercial unit at 3258-3260 Dundas Street West. The Common Elements Condominium will ensure shared ownership and maintenance of the common elements by the condominium corporation. The requested exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act is to permit the creation of conveyable lots for the nine townhouses fronting Gilmour Avenue and the commercial unit fronting Dundas Street West, which will become the Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) to the Common Elements Condominium. The exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions would also establish an easement for shared access and servicing between the building and the adjacent building at 3256 Dundas Street West. The lifting of Part Lot Control for a period of two years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of these lands. This report reviews and recommends approval of the Part Lot Control Exemption application. In addition, this report recommends that the owner of the lands be required to register a Section 118 Restriction under the Land Titles Act agreeing not to convey or mortgage any part of the lands without prior consent of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning or his designate.

This report recommends approval of a Rental Housing Demolition application to demolish and replace 131 rental dwelling units, and recommends approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions. This report also recommends entering into Section 37 and Section 111 agreements. A Rental Housing Demolition application at 117 - 127 Broadway Avenue seeks approval to demolish two existing residential rental apartment buildings containing a total of 131 rental dwelling units. All 131 units would be replaced within a new purpose-built rental building across the street at 100 Broadway Avenue and 223-233 Redpath Avenue. The replacement rental units will have similar unit sizes and rents. The unit mix for the replacement rental units would be an improvement on the existing rental units at 117 - 127 Broadway Avenue with some one-bedroom units replaced with two-bedroom units. A Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan will appropriately address the impacts on tenants. The rental building at 100 Broadway Avenue and 223-233 Redpath Avenue will contain 413 rental units, which includes 131 replacement rental units from 117 - 127 Broadway Avenue, and 193 replacement rental units associated with four other nearby rental housing demolition applications at 100 Broadway Avenue and 223-225 Redpath Avenue, 227-233 Redpath Avenue, 110-120 Broadway Avenue, and 174-180 Broadway Avenue for a total of 324 replacement rental units. The remaining 89 rental units comprise of 50 new affordable rental units secured in a Section 37 Agreement from the 110-120 Broadway Avenue development application and 39 market-rate rental units with unrestricted rents. The land at 117 - 127 Broadway Avenue is also subject to an application under the Planning Act for an amendment to the Zoning By-law (Application No. 15 228738 STE 22 OZ), which was the subject of a settlement hearing at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) (Case No. PL160941) on November 20, 2017.

This application proposes to remove the holding symbol ("(h)") from site-specific Zoning By-law 817-2013 for the lands at 2-8 Gloucester Street and 601-613 Yonge Street. The lifting of the "(h)" on the subject site will permit the development of a 34-storey mixed use building containing 232 residential units and up to 900 square metres of non-residential space.

This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties 139, 141 and 143 Portland Street, in connection with the redevelopment of the site and in conjunction with an appeal to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal and subsequent mediation of the application for Zoning By-law Amendment. This report also recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 139, 141 and 143 Portland Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for this property. The conservation strategy is for the heritage properties at 139-143 Portland Street to be retained in situ with their street facing facades integrated into the new construction. The tower component of the project will be stepped back 3 metres from the roof ridge of the property, constituting an overall step back of approximately 9 metres from the front street facing facades of the properties. The existing form of the buildings behind the retained street facing façade would be rebuilt in-kind and the uses within each of the houses would continue to be residential. Further, the conservation strategy proposes rehabilitation and restoration of these heritage properties to their period of significance (time of construction) based on archival information.
The item was withdrawn due to the adoption of MM10.32 at the October 2 and 3, 2019 meeting of City Council.

Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 145 Portland Street
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the heritage property at 145 Portland Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property is listed on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The surviving 19th-century residential buildings on the east side of Portland Street between Richmond and Adelaide Streets are adjoining buildings with the following street numbers: 135, 137, 139, 141, 143 and 145. All of these properties apart from 137 are listed on the City's Heritage Register and have been identified as contributing to the King-Spadina HCD. The properties at 135, 139, 141 and 143 are subject to a development application and 139, 141 and 143 Portland Street are being concurrently recommended for designation under the Ontario Heritage Act in a separate report before the September 23, 2019 Toronto Preservation Board titled Alterations to Designated Heritage Properties, Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and Authority to Enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement -139, 141 and 143 Portland Street. The property at 145 Portland Street, although not subject to a planning application at the time of report writing, is being evaluated for designation in this report since it forms one half of a mirrored pair with 143 Portland Street and follows Heritage Planning best practice. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 145 Portland Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. The designation of the property at 145 Portland Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act would identify all of the property's cultural heritage value and heritage attributes. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 145 Portland Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 145 Portland Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (September 4, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning. 2. If there are no objections to the designation, 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. 3. 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. 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 on the designation of the property.

Cultural Heritage Evaluation - 79 and 81 Granby Street
This report recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council receive this report for information. The report responds to City Council's request on December 4, 2018 (Motion MM1.7) that directed the Senior Manager of Heritage Preservation Services to "initiate a study of the formally nominated properties, at 79 and 81 Granby Street and to report back regarding designation within the first quarter of 2019." The properties at 79 and 81 Granby Street contain a pair of semi-detached house form buildings dating to 1891. As outlined in Attachment 3 to this report, staff have undertaken an evaluation according to Ontario Regulation 9/06 (the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation that the City also applies to properties being assessed for its Heritage Register). Although the properties demonstrate contextual value, specifically their historical and physical setting between the listed heritage properties at 77 Granby Street and 414-418 Church Street (at the southwest corner of Granby), the significant alterations to the exterior of subject buildings, including the removal of the original shared entrance arch (documented in archival photographs) and the recladding and changes to the window openings and roofline of 79 Granby, have impacted their integrity and ability to communicate their cultural heritage value. As such, staff have determined that the individual properties do not merit inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The provision of Chapter 27, Council Procedures, requires that Motion MM1.7 be referred to the Toronto and East York Community Council.
The Toronto and East York Community Council: 1. Referred the item to the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, for review of the McGill-Granby Village Resident Association's independent consultant report; and 2. Directed the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, to report back to the November 12, 2019 meeting of the Toronto Preservation Board, and to the December 3, 2019 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council, with their findings.
