Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on May 14, 2009 which was continued on June 9, 2009.

This application was made on or after January 1, 2007 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

 

This application proposes an additional 13-storey, 251-unit condominium apartment building adjacent to Kipling Avenue at Esther Lorrie Drive. The two existing 7-storey, 194-unit, rental apartment buildings, municipally known as 60 and 70 Esther Lorrie Drive, will be upgraded.  Following construction, the site would contain a total of 445 units.

 

The project implements Official Plan policies which permit compatible infill development on Apartment Neighbourhood sites in a manner consistent with development criteria set out in the Plan taking into consideration the site’s local context.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

Councillor Ford convened a meeting among the residents, the applicant and City staff to discuss a possible resolution.  This report recommends amendments to the proposed by-law and Section 37 provisions in the event that Council wishes to implement the option discussed with the community.

City Council on August 5 and 6, 2009, adopted the following:

 

1.         City Council not approve the installation of traffic control signals at the intersection of Rexdale Boulevard and Tidemore Avenue at this time as the Traffic Control Signal Warrant is not achieved.

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

The purpose of this report is to provide the results of a Traffic Control Signal Warrant study at the intersection of Rexdale Boulevard and Tidemore Avenue, further to a meeting that staff attended with Councillor Rob Ford, Ward 2, Etobicoke North and representatives of area businesses. As the warrant requirements are not achieved, the installation of traffic control signals is not recommended at this time.

 

Should amendments be made to the recommendations contained within this report, City Council approval will be required.  TTC staff has been advised of this issue.

3.         Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, confirmation is provided to the City that:

 

a.         Notice of Approval Conditions for Site Plan Control has been issued; and

 

b.         Draft Plan of Subdivision Approval has been granted.

This application was made after January 1, 2007 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

 

This application proposes to amend the former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86 and site-specific Zoning By-law 728-2006, to remove the "H" Holding symbol for Blocks 1 and 2 identified in the site specific By-law which are currently zoned “R2(h)” and “G(h)”.  These blocks represent Phase 3 of the Davenport Village development.  The proposed development of Phase 3 includes stacked townhouses and a public park.  It is municipally known as 20 Foundry Avenue. 

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-laws to remove the Holding symbols for the above property which is within Phase 3 of the site’s overall redevelopment. 

 

The proposal complies with the policies of the Davenport Village Secondary Plan and with the purpose and intent of the site-specific Zoning By-law.  Prior to Bills being introduced to Council confirmation is to be given to the City Solicitor that Notice of Approval Conditions for Site Plan Control has been issued and Draft Plan of Subdivision Approval has been granted.

City Council on August 5 and 6, 2009, adopted the following:

 

1.         City Council approve rescinding the regulation that the southbound curb lane on Royal York Road at Eglinton Avenue West be designated for right turning vehicles only, buses excepted, from Eglinton Avenue West to a point 30.5 metres northerly thereof.

Since the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates transit service on Royal York Road, City Council approval of this report is required.  TTC staff has been consulted on this issue and has not objected to this proposal.
