Background:

a)Applicant and Owners

Application submitted by St. Michael's Hospital, 30 Bond Street, Toronto, Ontario M5B 1W8, on behalf of the Sisters of St. Joseph for the Diocese of Toronto, 30 Bond Street, Toronto, Ontario M5B 1W8.

b)Site and Location

The 13,260 m2 site comprises the entire city block bounded by Queen, Victoria, Shuter and Bond Streets, and currently contains the main St. Michael's Hospital complex. The existing building reaches a height of 47.1 m in the recently completed Wing C along Victoria Street, and a maximum height of 49.3 m in the south central portion of the site. A diverse array of existing roof heights below this maximum is distributed over the rest of the site. The existing heights of Wing D in the northeast corner of the site are 30.5 m on Shuter Street and 22.5 m on Bond Street. The existing density is 5.85 times lot area (77,530 m2).

The site is listed as a heritage building on the City's Inventory of Heritage Properties, and it is the northerly Bond Street pedestrian entrance which is of historical importance.

c)Surrounding Context

To the northwest is the construction site for the Livent/Dundee Realty hotel and residential condominium tower, reaching a height of 127 m. Directly to the north, fronting on Shuter Street between Victoria and Bond Streets are two St. Michael's Hospital buildings of 2 and 7 storeys. To the northeast is St. Michael's Cathedral, the spire of which reaches a height of about 59.6 m. To the east is Metropolitan United Church and related buildings. The church spire reaches a height of 45.7 m. Both churches are listed on the City's Inventory of Heritage Buildings. A city park is located at the south end of the Metropolitan United Church, on lands leased from the church.

Fronting the south side of Queen Street between Yonge and Church Streets are a number of commercial buildings. At 1 Queen Street East, an office tower reaches a height of 112.3 m. Directly south of the hospital are three office buildings of 50.4 m, 15.5 m, and 53.7 m, respectively. To the southeast of the site are two office buildings of 34.6 m and 13.5 m in height. The historic Massey Hall and Elgin and Wintergarden Theatres are located on the west side of Victoria Street opposite the hospital, reaching heights of 26.3 m and 35.6 m, respectively. At the south end of the block to the west, a surface commercial parking lot exists at the corner of Victoria and Queen Streets.

On the lands at the northeast corner of Yonge and Queen Streets is proposed an 18 storey (91 m) office tower (Official Plan and Zoning Amendment Application No. 198018), where there currently exist a surface commercial parking lot and three commercial buildings of 2, 3 and 6 storeys. That application is still under consideration.

d)Proposed Development

With the recent amalgamation with Wellesley Hospital, St. Michael's Hospital is planning for future renovation, redevelopment and expansion of portions of the existing hospital, in a 3-phased program. The first phase involves improvements to the existing grade-related facade and main entrance on Queen Street East. The proposed renovations include an improved entrance lobby and drive-through and an improved relationship to the street. A second phase involves an expansion by adding 5 more floors, including a mechanical floor, to the existing, newly constructed 11-storey Wing C on Victoria Street, increasing the height to 71.5 m from the current 47 m (approximate).

A third phase involves the replacement of the existing 9-storey Wing D, in the northeast corner of the block, with a new 9-storey wing. This last phase will include the consolidation of loading and garbage handling facilities and a 3-level below-grade parking garage (138 spaces) in the new Wing D, and will include new landscaped open spaces in the southwest corner of the block as well as on either side of the existing, historic Bond Street pedestrian entrance. The proposed maximum height of Wing D is 43.8 m. An internal courtyard in the central portion of the site is also proposed in Phase 3.

The 5-storey addition to Wing C will add 14,805 m2 of gross floor area to the existing 77,530 m2 of floor area in the hospital, and the replacement of Wing D will result in a further net increase of 9,409 m2. This translates in total to a density increase from the existing 5.85 times the lot area to 7.68 times the lot area (101,744 m2).

In the Preliminary Report dated July 6, 1998 on this application, an additional phase was described, involving the expansion of the existing emergency facilities in the northwest corner of the hospital into the existing Wing D to the east. This will be an internal renovation and is not formally part of the application. The current application thus consists of only 3 phases. The application seeks Site Plan Approval for Phases 1 and 2 only. Phase 1 is intended to be implemented immediately, Phase 2 is to begin within this fiscal year, and Phase 3 within 10 years.

e)History

In 1977, a site-specific zoning by-law (By-law No. 755-77) was adopted to permit a major expansion and renovation of St. Michael's Hospital, with a minor revision in 1978 (By-law No. 358-78). Those expansion plans called for a major new wing on Victoria Street (Wing C), and the demolition of Wing D in the northeast corner of the block. Loading facilities and common outdoor space were required by the by-law to be constructed in the northeast corner of the block on the site of the demolished Wing D, and common outdoor space was also required in the southwest corner of the block. The 11-storey Wing C has recently been completed, but the demolition of Wing D has never been carried out, and the southwest corner of the block is still used for surface parking. The existing complex is thus not in compliance with the site-specific zoning by-law.

This Application No. 198011 was submitted on June 12, 1998. The Preliminary Report, dated July 6, 1998, was adopted by Toronto Community Council on July 22, 1998.

f)Public Review

A public meeting was held in the community on September 15, 1998. Approximately 18 members of the public were in attendance. The land use planning issues relevant to this application and raised at the public meeting included the following: detailed planning of Wing D (Phase 3) should be included; the timing of demolition of Wing D; the notice for the community public meeting; the need for renovations, redevelopment and expansion; the letter of support for the improvements provided by the Ministry of Health; and the need for phasing. These issues are discussed at various locations in this report.

Questions and comments were also directed at: the need for the merger of Wellesley and St. Michael's Hospital; the services provided before and after such merger; the content of submissions made by St. Michael's Hospital to the Hospital Services Restructuring Commission; the costs of, and funding sources for, the proposed improvements; and the alternative scenario of purchasing Wellesley Hospital facilities. These issues cannot be considered planning issues relevant to the processing of this application.

As noted in the Preliminary Report, the applicant attended a meeting of the Toronto East Downtown Residents Association (TEDRA) prior to the community public meeting to brief the community on the project. TEDRA members raised concerns about the safety and security of the proposed landscaped courtyard spaces on Bond and Queen Streets. While a legitimate concern, the applicant is not currently seeking Site Plan Approval for these spaces. When such approval is sought in the future for Phase 3, design elements to mitigate such concerns will then be considered.

Comments:

1.PLANNING CONTROLS

a)Official Plan

The Official Plan Part I designates the block as a "Hospital Area". There are no density limits in the Official Plan. The hospital uses and expansion thereof are permitted provided the proposed building fits in and is compatible with surrounding development, and the impact of such uses and expansion is addressed with respect to: built form, heights and massing; noise; traffic generation; parking; retention of mature trees; provision of adequate parks and open spaces; light, view and privacy; pedestrian environment; and retention of affordable housing. The policies require submission of a statement from the agency primarily responsible for approving the construction, indicating that the agency is prepared to authorize the planning or construction of such expansion.

b)Zoning By-law

The general Zoning By-law designates the block as "Q T6.0", which permits the hospital uses at a maximum density of 6.0 times the lot area. The height limit is 46.0 m. Site-specific Zoning By-law 755-77, as amended by By-law 358-78, permits a maximum gross floor area of 78,036 m2 (5.9 times lot area), a maximum height of 54.9 m excluding mechanical penthouses, establishes a building footprint, and includes various requirements for the location, size and/or quantity of loading and parking spaces, common outdoor space, vehicular access ramps, ambulance bays, landscaping, and provision for a future pedestrian tunnel under Victoria Street.

c)Site Plan Agreement

A Development Agreement was registered on the site in 1978, and amended by way of a registered amending agreement in 1982.

2.PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

a)Density, Height, Massing

The existing site-specific Zoning By-law 755-77, as amended, and the general Zoning By-law permit maximum densities which are virtually the same (5.9 and 6.0 times lot area, respectively), whereas the former establishes a height limit on the block of 54.9 m, as opposed to the general by-law limit of 46.0 m. The proposed development represents a net density increase of 24,244 m2 (1.83 times lot area) over the currently existing density, and a 1.68 times lot area increase over the general by-law maximum of 6.0 times lot area. The proposed height of Wing C (Phase 2) is 71.5 m, and the proposed height of Wing D (Phase 3) is 43.8 m. Wing C will thus be increasing in height by 24.4 m. Wing D will be increasing in height by 21.3 m on Bond Street and 13.3 m on Shuter Street..

The resulting built form is acceptable in the context of the surrounding existing and proposed development.

b)Shadow Impact

Staff have carried out a shadow impact analysis of the proposed development, as compared to the existing building, in the context of the surrounding existing development. The results reveal that the greatest shadow impact occurs on a portion of the north sidewalk of Shuter Street, between Bond and Church Streets, between 3:00 p.m and 5:00 p.m. on March 21. Given that this same stretch of sidewalk is in full sun all day up until that time, and that the prime sunlight hours are between 10:00 a.m and 3:00 p.m, this impact is not significant. There is no adverse shadow impact on the public park at the south end of the Metropolitan United Church lands on the block to the east.

c)Common Outdoor Space

The existing site-specific Zoning By-law 755-77, as amended, requires 2,350 m2 of common outdoor space. Under the general Zoning By-law, if a building occupied more than 75% of the site as of a certain date in 1976, then it is exempted from the common outdoor space requirement, and that is the case with St. Michael's Hospital. To ensure that future interpretations of the general Zoning By-law do not pose a problem with respect to common outdoor space, this report recommends that the site-specific by-law exempt the site from the general Zoning By-law requirement for common outdoor space. The proposed development contains 3 at-grade landscaped areas adjacent to the public sidewalks; 1 on either side of the historic Bond Street pedestrian entrance and one at the southwest corner of the site, at Queen and Victoria Streets. They are proposed to be implemented in Phase 3.

Because this report is recommending that By-law 755-77 be repealed, which will delete the requirement for common outdoor space, it is also recommended that the 3 landscaped areas be required in Phase 3. They are classified in the recommendations as "landscaped courtyard space", which is a defined term in the general Zoning By-law and includes landscaped open space, common outdoor space, and residential amenity space, and thus is a more broad definition to permit more flexibility in use and design. The loading space for the medical gas tanks on Victoria Street will continue to be required in Phase 3, and an exception to the definition of "landscaped courtyard space" is recommended to permit such a loading space for that purpose only. For most of the time, that loading space will remain unused and function as part of the landscaped courtyard space.

d)Phasing

The proposed phasing scheme is acceptable in principle, with stipulations regarding provision of parking and loading facilities prior to implementation of Phase 3, and provision of Phase 3 landscaped courtyard space. As was pointed out by a St. Michael's Hospital official at the community public meeting, phasing is required because the hospital must continue to provide patient care during renovations and redevelopment, and thus only portions of the hospital can be disrupted by construction at any one time. In addition, some portions of the hospital are older than others, and hospital facilities have a limited life span due to technological advancements. While not specifically mentioned, the timing and amount of funding for capital improvements will also influence what can be achieved in any one capital improvement project.

e)Detailed Planning of Phase 3

As previously mentioned, the application does not seek Site Plan Approval for Phase 3. A comment at the public meeting was that Phase 3 should also be planned in detail. Staff do not agree that detailed design for Phase 3 is necessary at present. The timing of Phase 3 implementation is estimated to be about 10 years in the future. Design considerations can change in that time, and there would appear to be little benefit in requiring Site Plan Approval for Phase 3 now. The recommended rezoning will establish a building envelope, together with parking, loading, and open space requirements. Having said that, Works and Emergency Services staff have requested and received more detailed design information for Phase 3 loading facilities to ensure that the proposed Phase 3 redevelopment will result in a functional building from that perspective.

f)Below-Grade Pedestrian Subway Connection

The existing By-law 755-77 and the Development Agreement provide for a knockout panel in the basement level below the Victoria Street pedestrian entrance. This was intended to facilitate a possible tunnel connection to the Queen Street subway station, anticipating that the block to the west would be redeveloped comprehensively. While a comprehensive redevelopment of the entire block bounded by Queen, Yonge, Shuter and Victoria Streets does not appear as likely now as it did then, the provisions for this possible connection should be maintained. The City is currently attempting to sell its properties to the west of the hospital at 197, 197R and 203 Yonge Street, and a more comprehensive redevelopment proposal involving neighbouring properties remains a possibility. While a provision in the proposed site-specific Zoning By-law does not appear necessary, the agreement(s) related to Site Plan Approval should maintain such provisions.

g)Statement from Approval Authority

As noted in the Preliminary Report and previously in this report, the Official Plan (Section 11.15) requires a statement from the agency primarily responsible for approving the construction of the expansion, indicating the need for expansion at that location, and indicating whether the agency is prepared to authorize the planning or construction of such expansion. Such a statement from the Ministry of Health has been provided and is reproduced in Appendix C attached to this report.

h)Repeal of Site-specific Zoning By-law 755-77, as amended

To amend the existing site-specific Zoning By-law, passed in 1977 and amended the following year, to facilitate the current redevelopment proposal would result in a cumbersome and confusing site-specific by-law. Therefore, the recommended course of action is to repeal the existing, and establish a new, site-specific by-law.

i)Provision of Notice for Public Meetings

Inadvertent errors occurred with respect to the provision of the notice for the non-statutory community public meeting held in September, 1998. The Preliminary Report recommended that owners and tenants within 300 m of the site be notified. This is the customary notification distance for a non-statutory public meeting for an application involving an Official Plan amendment. The customary notification distance for an application for a rezoning only, as is the case here, is 120 m. However, the actual distance for which the notice was provided was only 100 m. Because owners and tenants within larger blocks are notified even if only portions of such blocks fall within the distance radius, the result of this error is not extensive in that only properties fronting on the south side of Richmond Street East between Yonge and Church Streets were excluded from the notice. The owners and tenants of those properties will be notified by way of newspaper advertisement of the statutory public meeting held by your Committee.

j)Submission of Detailed Plans for Site Plan Approval

The application seeks Site Plan Approval for Phases 1 and 2 only. The Preliminary Report recommended that more detailed plans be submitted with respect to these Phases and such plans have been submitted. The existing and proposed gross floor area figures were also slightly revised in the more recent submissions as a result of a detailed review by the applicant of the figures, as also recommended in the Preliminary Report.

The coming into force of the site-specific Zoning By-law is a prerequisite for the issuance of a building permit for Phase 1. A recommendation of this report is that an agreement pursuant to Section 41 (Site Plan Approval) of the Planning Act, and, if necessary, a Collateral Agreement be executed for Phases 1 and 2 by the applicant prior to the introduction of a Bill in Council.

k)Soil and Groundwater Testing and Management Plan

Public Health staff have verbally advised that the soil and groundwater testing and submission of a management plan would only be required if the historical review and site and building audit indicated a need. The recommendations reflect this change to the written comments from Public Health reproduced in Appendix B to this report, in which such submissions were required unconditionally.

l)Parking

The Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services is requiring that parking spaces be provided to meet the additional net demand generated by the proposed expansion, with a base of 20 on-site spaces as required by the current By-law 755-77, as amended. The 20 spaces are provided in an on-site parking garage on Victoria Street south of Wing C, which will be maintained throughout the redevelopment. The hospital also owns an off-site parking garage across Shuter Street at 209 Victoria and 26 Shuter Streets, and 63 spaces are expected to continue to be provided for the hospital on this site. On this basis, 57 additional spaces are required for Phase 2, of which 15 are already provided in the surface lot at Queen and Victoria Streets. An additional 42 Phase 2 spaces must therefore be provided off site.

In Phase 3, a 138 space parking garage is being constructed below grade under new Wing D. Together with the 20 spaces in the other on-site garage, these spaces will satisfy the net increase in parking demand. The recommended by-law provisions implement such requirements.

m)Loading

Similarly, each phase generates certain loading space requirements, which are satisfied by a retention of existing loading facilities for Phases 1 and 2, and a combination of some existing facilities and a new consolidated loading facility for Phase 3. The Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services has recommended provisions for the phasing of loading facilities, which have been incorporated in the by-law provisions recommended in this report.

Conclusions:

The proposed development is intended to improve patient care at St. Michael's Hospital, and improved patient care is in the public interest. The relationship of the hospital building to Queen Street will be improved. The proposed development is appropriate and there is no significant adverse planning impact on surrounding facilities and uses, existing and proposed. The overall redevelopment scheme represents good planning and should be approved.
