Origin
(May 27, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

This City-initiated Zoning By-law amendment is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

 

The City of Toronto’s Cultural Affairs Division proposes to build a multi-purpose Visitor Centre (“Visitor Centre”) on the lands municipally known as 100 Garrison Road and 800 Fleet Street, which are part of the Fort York National Historic Site (“Fort York”). The Visitor Centre will include, among other uses, a museum gift shop and a small café/restaurant to service visitors to Fort York. The need for a Visitor Centre has been recognized in a number of planning studies prepared for Fort York over the past 20 years. The Visitor Centre is part of the City’s Capital Budget and is one of the legacy projects for the upcoming Bicentennial of the War of 1812 commemoration.

 

The lands known as 100 Garrison Road and 800 Fleet Street are currently zoned ‘G’ (parkland). The proposed Visitor Centre includes commercial uses (retail gift shop and restaurant) that are not permitted in a ‘G’ zone. Fort York is a public museum that existed on the subject lands prior to the enactment of the former City of Toronto General Zoning By-law No. 438-86, as amended, and is therefore a legal non-conforming use.

 

The proposal is to amend the General Zoning By-law No. 438-86, as amended, to recognize and permit the existing public museum and related uses within City parkland as well as to permit the erection and use of a new multi-purpose Visitor Centre with a restaurant and gift shop.

 

Site Plan Approval for the Visitor Centre will also be required following the Zoning By-law amendment.

 

This report recommends approval of the proposed amendments to the Zoning By-law.

Summary

A report from Community Planning dated May 22, 2009, recommending approval of the proposal to redevelop the properties at 23-29 Stafford Street with a terraced 10 storey condominium containing 104 residential units and three levels of underground parking was to have been considered by Toronto and East York Community Council on June 23, 2009. This meeting was cancelled as a result of the recent labour disruption.

 

On June 29, 2009, the applicant filed an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for City Council’s failure to make a decision within the statutory timelines for the Zoning By-law Amendment application.  The OMB hearing has been scheduled for October 21, 2009.

 

The applicant intends to proceed with the scheduled October 21st hearing to request that the Ontario Municipal Board approve the draft Zoning By-law Amendment prepared by City staff.  The amendment was included as part of the May 22, 2009 report to Community Council that recommended approval of the 10- storey building.

 

This report recommends that Council authorize staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board in support of the rezoning application as outlined in the recommendations contained within the staff report dated May 22, 2009.

(August 25, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

The East Precinct of the King-Spadina Secondary Plan Area, bounded by Front Street West to the south, Richmond Street West to the north, Simcoe Street to the east, and Spadina Avenue to the west, has been experiencing significant growth pressure. While this is evidence of the success of King-Spadina’s regeneration, this pressure is resulting in proposals that considerably exceed the height and intensity of development envisioned by the Official Plan or permitted by the Zoning By-law.  These proposals could fundamentally change the character of the area, and, in the absence of an updated planning framework, can lead to inconsistency and unplanned consequences.

 

The Built Form Study is an assessment of the existing and approved built form within the East Precinct of King-Spadina.  Its intent is to comprehensively evaluate the area’s character, and provide specificity to the question of where, and how, additional development can be accommodated in order to protect the features that make the district a distinctive and successful place in the city.  The Built Form Study will help ensure that individual proposals are reviewed consistently within the area’s broader physical context, to provide certainty for City Council, future development proponents, and the broader community.  It will also help ensure that new development contributes to the continued intensification of the East Precinct in a way that is appropriate and in the public interest. 

 

Staff have identified several sub-areas within the East Precinct where, subject to appropriate built form criteria that respects heritage character and enhances quality of life, and the provision of appropriate community benefits, additional development can be accommodated.  Work is underway to prepare specific guidelines regarding height, built form and performance criteria to guide future development. 

 

This report contains the findings of the Built Form Study, and makes interim recommendations pending the preparation of Secondary Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments, and updated Urban Design Guidelines.  The findings will help to guide the review of existing and new applications within King-Spadina’s East Precinct.

Origin
(June 3, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

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 a 43-storey mixed use building at 21-31 Widmer Street and 299 Adelaide Street West, with approximately 430 residential units and approximately 1,300 square metres of non-residential space, including retail and community/performance space.  Four above grade parking levels and four below grade parking levels are proposed, two of which comprise commercial parking.  Previous Council permission (By-law 95-2006) permitted a 25-storey mixed use building on the site.

 

The proposal replaces a commercial surface parking lot with residential units, including a proposal to include affordable Habitat for Humanity units, retail, and community/performance space. It is consistent with the emerging built form study in that it is located within an area that can accommodate tall buildings without destabilizing the warehouse built form character of the area.  The proposal generally meets the intent of the 2006 King Spadina Urban Design Guidelines, and the Tall Building Guidelines.

 

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

Refusal Report - 56 Blue Jays Way - Zoning By-law Application
Decision Advice and Other Information

The Toronto and East York Community Council:

 

1.         Referred back the report dated June 3, 2009, from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, entitled “Refusal Report - 56 Blue Jays Way - Zoning By-law Application”, with a request that staff undertake additional discussion and consultation between the applicant, appropriate staff and the Ward Councillor, and report further to the October 13, 2009, meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council.

 

2.         Requested the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to report on the form of a draft by-law that would be enacted should City Council approve any revised application.

 

3.         Directed City Planning staff to ensure that the required public notice is issued for the statutory public meeting.

Origin
(June 3, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

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 proposed a 41-storey mixed use building with a five-storey podium incorporating the east facing heritage façade, and a 36-storey tower containing hotel and residential units at 56 Blue Jays Way.

 

This report reviews the application and recommends refusal of the proposal in its current form.

 

Staff worked closely with the previous owner of this site and approved a 62 m height in 2007, a doubling of the previous height permission. The previous approval fit well into its context and had no significant shadow impacts on King Street West.  The current proposal has merit in that it provides a good condition at street level, incorporates the heritage façade, and provides some architectural and functional improvements over the previously approved development. However, its current massing is inappropriate and the report recommends that the Zoning By-law Amendment application be refused in its current form for the following reasons:

 

-           It requests a height permission (142 m) close to twice its recently built context (with the exception of the OMB-approved M5V development at 371-379 King Street West, at 119.5 m).

 

-           The site is located mid-block on a street that has been identified in Council-approved policy as a smaller neighbourhood street, and as such does not warrant the requested height.

 

-           The massing of the proposal overwhelms the streetscape, particularly given its proximity to the heritage scale and character of King Street West’s “Restaurant Row”, and contributes to loss of sky view and increased shadow on King Street West.

 

-           The proposed 896 sq. m tower floor plate and inadequate tower separation compromise the Tall Buildings Guidelines and quality of life for future residents.

Summary

This application was made before January 1, 2007 and is not subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

 

This application by the City of Toronto Facilities and Real Estate is for  a temporary use by-law to permit the temporary relocation of the North St. Lawrence Market’s weekend markets to 125 The Esplanade while the North Market building redevelops for a period of up to 3 years.

 

The long term viability of the lands for the parks use permitted in the Official Plan and Zoning By-law will be maintained.  The proposed land use is appropriate for the temporary use of an underutilized parking lot.  The proposed relocation site of the North Market is located in close proximity to the existing North Market and directly across from the South Market.  Relocating the activities of the North Market to this site would be compatible with the existing market activities.

 

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

(May 25, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

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 the construction of a six storey mid-rise building at 1864 to 1876 Queen Street East with 28 residential units, and commercial uses on the ground floor.  It involves the demolition of all the existing buildings which contain ten dwelling units, including eight rental housing units.

 

Mid-rise housing is an important form of development that can create new housing and shopping opportunities and can help the City to more easily address reurbanization objectives on Avenues.

 

Queen Street in the Beach area continues to be a desirable residential and commercial destination.  The proposed mixed-use development is consistent and compatible with area development.

 

The application under Chapter 667 of the Municipal Code proposes the demolition of 8 residential rental units, which is prohibited without a permit issued under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act. The rental units will not be replaced.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law, and approval of the applications to demolish the existing residential buildings without requiring the replacement of the residential rental units.

Origin
(August 20, 2009) Report from Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

A report from Community Planning dated May 25, 2009 recommending approval of the proposed amendment to the Zoning By-law 438-86 and the application to demolish the existing residential rental buildings without replacement, at 1864 to 1876 Queen Street East, was to be considered by Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting of June 23, 2009.  This meeting was cancelled as a result of the recent labour disruption.

 

On July 20, 2009, the applicant filed an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for City Council’s failure to make a decision within the statutory timelines in respect of the Zoning By-law Amendment application. Demolition Applications under Municipal Code 667 cannot be appealed to the OMB.

 

Notwithstanding the appeal to the Board, the applicant has agreed to a full statutory public meeting before Community Council so that Council may consider and potentially adopt the recommended Zoning By-law Amendment and Demolition Application.  Therefore, staff continue to recommend that Council adopt the recommendations contained in the staff report of May 25, 2009.

Summary

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.

 

The application proposed to replace the existing Royal Canadian Military Institute (RCMI), which is a private members club, with a 6 and ½ -storey club and a 35 and ½ -storey condominium resulting in a 42-storey mixed use building at 426 University Avenue. No parking was initially proposed, however, a revised application included the provision of 9 parking spaces, 8 of which were proposed to be in parking stackers.

2 Secord Avenue and 90 Eastdale Avenue - Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications
Committee Recommendations

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council receive for information the report dated June 1, 2009 from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

Origin
(June 1, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law applications were made to the City for intensification of 2 Secord Avenue and 90 Eastdale Avenue.  The applications, as submitted, seek to permit the demolition of nine townhouse blocks, containing a total of fifty-two, 3-bedroom rental townhouses at 2 Secord Avenue and 90 Eastdale Avenue, in order to permit the construction of a 30-storey residential tower, a 5-and 8-storey residential building, and sixty, 3-bedroom rental townhouse dwelling units.

 

The applicant proposes to retain the existing 22 and 24-storey apartment buildings at 2 Secord Avenue and 90 Eastdale Avenue.  The existing and proposed buildings would be connected below grade by two levels of parking.

 

In a letter dated April 1, 2009 (Attachment 1) the applicant indicated that they have decided to eliminate the demolition of the existing townhouse dwelling units from the proposal.  Therefore, a Section 111 application for rental housing demolition is no longer necessary.  In that same letter, the applicant requests that the applications be held in abeyance, and that they will contact City Planning to discuss additional revisions to the applications.

 

As directed by Toronto and East York Community Council, this report provides an update on the working session held on March 20, 2008, and discussions had with the applicant to date.  This report is submitted to Council for their information.

29a Supplementary Report - 34-38 Hazelton Avenue - Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning
Origin
(August 12, 2009) Report from Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

At its meeting of April 21, 2009, Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of a report from the Director, Community Planning until the meeting of June 23, 2009, with a request that staff report to that meeting on the Applicant’s revised proposal for 34-38 Hazelton Avenue dated April 21, 2009.  This proposal was found to be unacceptable to City staff.

 

However, since that time, a further revised application was submitted, dated June 10, 2009.  A joint report from Community Planning and Heritage Preservation Services dated June 12, 2009, recommending approval of the June 10, 2009 revised proposal was to be considered by Toronto and East York Community Council on June 23, 2009.  This meeting was cancelled as a result of the recent labour disruption.

 

On July 6, 2009, the applicant filed an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for City Council’s failure to make a decision within the statutory timelines for both Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications.

 

Notwithstanding the appeal to the board, the applicant has agreed to a full statutory public meeting before Community Council so that Council may consider and potentially adopt the recommended Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments. Therefore, staff continue to recommend that Council adopt the recommendations contained in the staff report of June 12, 2009.

Origin
(March 30, 2009) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

This report recommends refusal of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment applications to develop an 8-storey residential building at 34-38 Hazelton Avenue, and seeks Council’s direction for staff to attend the Ontario Municipal Board in opposition to the development should the application be appealed.

 

The proposed development is inappropriate and out of context.  The policies contained within the Official Plan provide the basis for refusing this proposal because it does not meet the intent of the Plan for development within or adjacent to stable residential Neighbourhoods.  The application represents an inappropriate intensification of a site, where the Plan anticipates a sensitive infill project.

 

The height, massing and built form of the proposed development is inconsistent with the existing and planned built form context of this part of Yorkville.

 

The proposed development does not meet the guidelines for new development within the Yorkville–Hazelton Heritage Conservation District.

 

The proposal does not meet the Official Plan policies of adequately limiting the impact of shadows nor is the new building massed in such a way as to mitigate view and privacy concerns on neighbouring properties.

This staff report is about a matter for which the Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

This report reviews and makes recommendations on a request by Adam Kelly of Kramer Design Associates on behalf of Astral Media for approval of variances from Chapter 297, Signs, of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code to permit, for third party advertising purposes, a two face illuminated ground sign containing LED animated copy image board on each face of the sign and to remove an existing third party illuminated ground sign located on City-owned lands at 12 St. Lawrence Street.

Origin
(June 1, 2009) Report from the Manager, Right of Way Management, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Summary

This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

Transportation Services has assessed a request from the representative of St. Joseph’s Health Centre to allow the maintenance of four free standing illuminated and one non‑illuminated ground signs, four decorative light standards, along with six stone pillars that encroach within the public right of way fronting 30 The Queensway and on the Sunnyside and Glendale Avenue flanks and Parkdale Road rear of 30 The Queensway.

 

As the free standing illuminated and non-illuminated ground signs, decorative light standards and stone pillars do not impact negatively on the public right of way, Transportation Services recommends approval of these encroachments.

 

Additionally, three obsolete electrical concrete fixtures existing within the public right of way fronting 30 The Queensway must be removed and the City boulevard restored to its original grassed condition as part of this approval.

Origin
(April 27, 2009) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Summary

This staff report is about a matter for which the Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

Transportation Services is seeking authority to permanently relocate parking from the north side to the south side on Britain Street and introduce pay-and-display parking.  Britain Street, between George Street and Sherbourne Street, does not currently have a north side sidewalk. Transportation Services has reviewed the feasibility of installing a sidewalk on the north side of Britain Street. In order to accommodate the proposed construction of a sidewalk, the existing commercial boulevard parking spaces on both sides will need to be removed.  Permission to cancel commercial boulevard parking licenses is granted as per the former City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 313-39 C(2), upon the General Manager providing 30 days' written notice to the licence holder advising of the pending cancellation of the licence. On-street parking will need to be relocated, from the north side to the south side, in order to provide more on-street parking spaces to offset the loss of boulevard spaces.

Removal of U-turn Prohibition - Commissioners Street
Committee Recommendations

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council rescind the existing eastbound and westbound “U”-turn prohibition on Commissioners Street, between Don Roadway and Leslie Street.

Origin
(June 1, 2009) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Summary

Transportation Services is seeking authority from City Council to rescind the existing “U”-turn prohibition on Commissioners Street, between Don Roadway and Leslie Street, as this prohibition is no longer required.  The “U”-turn prohibition was enacted in 2001 as part of the traffic management plan for the F.G. Gardiner Expressway Dismantling Project.

 

At the request of Toronto and East York Community Council, Transportation Services has reviewed the traffic control measures that were put in place for the F.G. Gardiner Expressway Dismantling Project to ensure that all of the regulations that are no longer required have been removed.  The traffic control measures included traffic control signals, lane designations, pedestrian crossing prohibitions, “No Stopping” regulations, turn prohibitions, and “U”- turn prohibitions to create a safe and efficient route to divert Lake Shore Boulevard East traffic along Commissioners Street.  The majority of these measures have been removed or, in a few cases, retained as permanent.  The only remaining regulation identified that should be removed is the existing eastbound and westbound “U”- turn prohibition on Commissioners Street, between Don Roadway and Leslie Street.

 

The proposed removal of the “U” turn prohibition on Commissioners Street will not result in any significant safety concern, nor will it impact negatively on the level of service, including TTC service, on Commissioners Street.

Regulations to Deter through Traffic Movement - Barton Avenue at Christie Street
Committee Recommendations

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council prohibit left-turns from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, (bicycles excepted) by southbound traffic from Christie Street onto Barton Avenue.

Origin
(May 27, 2009) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Summary

Transportation Services is reporting on a request from Councillor Adam Vaughan to prohibit southbound left-turns, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday (bicycles excepted) from Christie Street onto Barton Avenue.

 

It is desirable to deter commuter traffic from using local neighbourhood streets and the suggested turn prohibition could reduce traffic volume on Barton Avenue by deterring cut-through traffic, between Christie Street and Bathurst Street. However, the overall reduction in traffic volume could be minor since there are other inlets to the neighbourhood that can be taken by motorists to by-pass the turn prohibition.  Traffic volume could increase on other local streets in the residential neighbourhood area and implementing the suggested turn prohibition is not recommended.

The report dated  June 3, 2009, from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, headed "Reserved On-Street Parking Spaces for use by Car-Share Vehicles - Various Locations in the Downtown Area (Sustainable Transportation Initiative)" (Item TE27.84a) was withdrawn, in that the policy issue of establishing a new class of car-sharing parking and associated fee falls under the jurisdiction of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee.

Origin
(September 3, 2009) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Summary

This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. 

 

Supporting the provision of on-street, reserved parking spaces for car-share vehicles in selected locations is one of the Sustainable Transportation Initiatives: Short-term Proposals adopted by City Council at its meeting on October 22 and 23, 2007 (Item PW9.2).  This initiative requires establishment of a new class of car-sharing parking permit. A separate report on that matter detailing the process/procedures required to implement an on-street car-share parking pilot program in the Toronto and East York area has been submitted to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee for consideration at its meeting of September 14, 2009. 

 

Subject to approval of the pilot program by City Council, the purpose of this report is to obtain approval to install “Car-share Vehicle Parking Areas” at several locations in the downtown area. A total of 6 locations are recommended, dispersed over 5 streets (Emily Street, Ed Mirvish Way, Jordan Street, Gould Street, and Mutual Street), providing a total of 20 parking spaces. Parking is currently prohibited at all times at each selected location.  Investigation has determined that “Car-share Vehicle Parking Areas” can be identified at these locations without adversely affecting traffic operation or safety.

Supporting the provision of on-street, reserved parking spaces for car-share vehicles in selected locations is one of the Sustainable Transportation Initiatives: Short-term Proposals adopted by City Council at its meeting on October 22 and 23, 2007 (Item PW9.2).  This report is requesting approval in principle of a pilot program that will allow Transportation Services to identify on-street parking areas exclusively for use by car-share vehicles.  Use of the parking areas will be administered by means of a new class of car-sharing permit issued by Transportation Services to a car-share company/organization at an annual cost of $200.00 for each permit plus applicable taxes (for the duration of the pilot program). The fee will cover the cost of implementing the pilot program (signs, pavement markings, bicycle rings where necessary).  The pilot program will be revenue neutral. A total of 7 car-share parking areas dispersed over 6 streets (Emily Street, Ed Mirvish Way, Jordan Street, Victoria Street, Gould Street, and Mutual Street) in the downtown area, providing a total of 24 parking spaces is recommended. Parking is currently prohibited at all times at each selected location.  Investigation has determined that Car-share Vehicle Parking Areas can be identified at these locations without adversely affecting traffic operation or safety.

 

If this proposal is approved, staff will monitor the pilot program over the ensuing year and report back to Toronto and East York Community Council with their findings in September 2010.

Summary

By way of Order No. 2799 issued on October 3, 2006, the Ontario Municipal Board ordered Official Plan Amendment No. 342 (By-law No. 25-2007) of the Official Plan for the former City of Toronto and site specific Zoning By-law No. 26-2007 to permit a mixed use development with two residential condominium towers and retail uses at grade on the lands municipally known as 40 The Esplanade.

Summary

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.

 

The applicant has appealed the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council’s failure to make a decision within the time allotted by the Planning Act.  A pre-hearing conference is scheduled to be held September 28, 2009.  A full hearing date has not yet been scheduled.

 

The application before the Ontario Municipal Board proposes to amend the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law to permit a 20-storey residential condominium building with 69 units.  The base of the building includes three 2-storey townhouses fronting on Shuter Street.  There are 56 parking spaces proposed within a four level underground garage accessed from an existing public lane.  A valet will take cars to the underground garage via a car elevator.

 

The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s direction on the appeal of this application to the Ontario Municipal Board.

 

The proposal is inappropriate and too intense a form of development for this site.  The proposed height and density considerably exceed that permitted in the Official Plan, the Zoning By-law and that of the previous Ontario Municipal Board approval, which was granted based on the premise of preserving the historical building which once existed on site and has since been demolished.

Various Encroachments – 107 Atlantic Avenue
Decision Advice and Other Information

The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the report (August 24, 2009) from the Manager, Right of Way Management, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, respecting Various Encroachments - 107 Atlantic Avenue, until its next meeting to be held on October 13, 2009, with a request that staff provide additional information on the landscaping fronting the Atlantic Avenue flankage of this property.

Origin
(August 24, 2009) Report from the Manager, Right of Way Management, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Summary

This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

Transportation Services has assessed a request from the representative of the owners of 107 Atlantic Avenue to allow the ongoing maintenance of various encroachments amongst which include a guard rail, entrance to a loading dock, hydro metre, security cameras, flood lights, eaves, window sills, iron gates on windows, gas metre, and gas conduit that are attached to the building wall and extend over the public right of way on the rear and adjacent public lanes, the Snooker Street flank and fronting 107 Atlantic Avenue.

 

Other encroachments include various types of exhaust ducts, an air conditioning unit, and an outward swinging door, attached to the building wall in the rear public lane, and bollards within the public lane adjacent to 107 Atlantic Avenue this property.

 

Although exhaust ducts and air conditioning units are considered within the former City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 313, Streets and Sidewalks, some do not meet the required vertical clearance of 2.7 m above the existing grade. Therefore, we are required to report on the matter.

 

With respect to the bollards and the outward swinging door, there are no provisions within the Municipal Code for their maintenance within the public lane.  Therefore, we are required to report on the matter.

 

As the existing encroachments do not impact negatively on the public right of way, Transportation Services recommends their approval.

 

The owners together with any other interested parties will be given an opportunity to make a deputation before Community Council.

Effectiveness and Impact of Turn Prohibitions - Avenue Road, Between Hillholm Road and Kilbarry Road
Decision Advice and Other Information

The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the report (August 24, 2009) from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, entitled "Effectiveness and Impact of Turn Prohibitions - Avenue Road, Between Hillholm Road and Kilbarry Road", until its next meeting on October 13, 2009, for public presentation and debate.

Origin
(August 25, 2009) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Summary

This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has been delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

Transportation Services has reviewed the effectiveness and impact on traffic following installation of “No Right-Turn, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Monday to Friday” regulations for southbound traffic on Avenue Road at Hillholm Road, Killarney Road and Kilbarry Road.

 

The intent of these regulations was to reduce cut-through traffic during the morning rush hour period in the residential community south of Chaplin Crescent and west of Avenue Road. The turn prohibitions have generally accomplished this.  However, non-compliance with the turn prohibitions is occurring, concerns about local access to the neighbourhood have been raised by representatives of schools in the area and some local residents, U-turns along the subject section of Avenue Road are a potential safety concern and an annoyance to residents, and increased traffic volume has increased delays and traffic congestion on Oxton Avenue and Oriole Parkway.

This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has been delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

Transportation Services has been requested by Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone to amend the parking regulations on the east side of Shaw Street, north of Harbord Street.  The parking prohibitions near the corner, signed in conjunction with the alternate side parking regulations on the east and west sides of Shaw Street, are not consistent. The requested changes will correct this and provide additional on-street parking.  The parking regulations on Shaw Street, south of Harbord Street, will also be adjusted for consistency.

 

The resulting corner parking prohibitions are less than typically signed at signalized intersections.  However, Shaw Street is a relatively minor road and the proposed changes should not negatively impact on the flow of traffic.This report also recommends rescinding a redundant parking regulation on the east side of Shaw Street that no longer applies but is still listed within Chapter 400 of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code.

Origin
(August 19, 2009) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Summary

This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

Transportation Services is seeking authority to implement parking regulations on Flagman Street, a new roadway, within the ‘Upper Beaches’ development.  

 

Flagman Street is a 7.6 metre wide, east/west local roadway.  An unsigned three-hour parking limit is in effect on both sides of Flagman Street; however, due to the narrow width of the roadway, safe two-way traffic is not possible when vehicles are parked on both sides.  To remedy this situation, it is necessary to prohibit parking on the south side of Flagman Street, between William Hancox Avenue and Brockville Street, and the north side, opposite a traffic calming ‘pinch point’.

 

The proposed parking regulations will allow for safe and efficient two-way traffic operation on Flagman Street.

Summary

This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

At the request of Councillor Sandra Bussin, Transportation Services is seeking authority to rescind the alternate side parking regulations on Balmy Avenue, between Silver Birch Avenue and the east dead-end, and allow parking on the north side and prohibit parking on the south side of the road year round.  This is in order to provide more parking because there are nine parking spaces on the north side and eight spaces on the south side.

 

The amendment would have a negligible impact on traffic operations; however, regular street cleaning of the north side of the road would be more difficult.

Summary

This staff report is about a matter which Community Council has been delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

 

Transportation Services staff have investigated installing traffic calming on Barker Avenue, between Coxwell Avenue and Binswood Avenue to address residents’ concerns with the speed of traffic.  The criteria as set out in the Traffic Calming Policy has not been met.  Specifically, motorists are driving at speeds less than 10 km/h over the speed limit.  Therefore, speed humps should not be installed on this section of Barker Avenue at this time.  Staff also assessed whether an all-way stop control was warranted at the intersection of Barker Avenue and Binswood Avenue, and found that it was not.

318 Clinton Street/Nancy Pocock Place
Decision Advice and Other Information

The Toronto and East York Community Council referred the letter (September 3, 2009) from Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone, respecting 318 Clinton Street/Nancy Pocock Place, to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in conjunction with the City Solicitor and other appropriate staff, with a request that a report be submitted to the next meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council to be held on October 13, 2009, on the uncompleted and unsatisfactory items by the developer of 318 Clinton Street/Nancy Pocock Place, and the actions to be taken to bring this property up to acceptable standards.

Origin
(September 3, 2009) Letter from Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone, Ward 19, Trinity-Spadina
Summary

On October 20, 2000, the Committee of Adjustment approved the severance of the lands municipally referred to as 318 Clinton Street/Nancy Pocock Place into 8 lots and granted easements and/or rights-of-way over Nancy Pocock Place.  Nancy Pocock Place is a private road collectively owned by residents on the north side of this street.  As a condition of this approval, the developer was required to pay the cost for any rehabilitation of Nancy Pocock to its original condition due to construction and/or connection to municipal services.  Given the state of the private road, Nancy Pocock Place, it appears that the developer has ignored this condition.  In addition, a number of the required landscaping measures identified in the approved landscape plan have yet to be completed. 

 

I believe it is necessary for City staff and Council to seriously review what actions need to be taken in order to rectify this unacceptable situation.

Naming of the Main Baseball Diamond at Christie Pits
Decision Advice and Other Information

The Toronto and East York Community Council referred the letter (September 4, 2009) from Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, with a request that a report be submitted to the next meeting of the Community Council to be held on October 13, 2009, on naming the main baseball diamond in Christie Pits "Dominico Field", after Jack and Lynne Dominico.

Origin
(September 4, 2009) Letter from Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone, Ward 19, Trinity-Spadina
Summary

Jack and Lynne Dominico acquired the Toronto Maple Leafs Baseball Club in 1969.  In the 41 seasons since then, the club has won eight championships and twenty pennant titles.  Christie Pits has been home to the Toronto Maple Leafs Baseball Club throughout its impressive history.  The baseball fames have animated and enhanced Christi Pits for more than four decades.

 

Mr. Dominico’s beloved wife and partner, Lynne, passed away in November 2008.  Lynne Dominico was honoured with the players wearing an “LD” patch on their uniforms throughout the 2009 season.  Furthermore, Jack and Lynne Dominico are so respected by the other owners, players, and organizers of the Inter-county Baseball League that the league’s playoff trophy was named after them - the Jack and Lynne Dominico Trophy.

 

Mr. Dominico continues the tradition of bringing former major league baseball players to the opening game and hosting a banquet for fans the night before the game. 

 

Considering their contribution to our community and the City of Toronto, and their dedication to the club and amateur baseball in Ontario, I believe it is most appropriate that Jack and Lynne Dominico be recognized by naming the main diamond in Christie Pits as Dominico Field.  This has community support, in the form of a petition.

On-Street Permit Parking at 56 Burnside Drive

Decision Advice and Other Information

Origin
(September 11, 2009) Letter from Councillor Joe Mihevc, Ward 21, St. Paul's West
Summary

I am requesting the Toronto and East York Community Council to support a motion to establish on-street permit parking in front of 56 Burnside Drive.

 

This address is the only Burnside Drive property that does not have a driveway. The street has been polled twice to permit on-street parking, however, because all the other residents have parking pads and driveways on their properties, the polls have been unsuccessful.

 

A front yard parking pad is unsuitable in this circumstance because it would seriously compromise a mature oak tree. An on-street parking spot saves the tree, and allows for the property owner to park their one vehicle.

 

I request that staff bring forward the necessary by-law to give effect to this on-street permit parking proposal.

Origin
(September 15, 2009) Letter from Councillor Adam Vaughan, Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina
Summary

A spectacular new park in the downtown core, whose design was inspired by the vision of noted Canadian writer and artist Douglas Coupland was recently unveiled by developer Concord Adex Inc. The $8 million, 8-acre park in the City Place neighbourhood, the first new major downtown public park to be opened in over a decade, is the culmination of over five years of planning and construction.

 

The new park, which runs north from Fort York Boulevard, halfway between Spadina Avenue and Bathurst street features tree-lined paths, a range of public art, water features and the Terry Fox Miracle Mile, a track that winds through the park and is punctuated by glass-encased pedestals commemorating milestones in the Canadian hero's cross-Canada run to raise awareness and money for the fight against cancer. The southern border is a stretch of open space allowing visitors to enjoy the vistas of the City to the north. In keeping with its central theme of celebrating Canada and particularly Toronto and connection to its roots, the park is highlighted by the giant red canoe feature which is clearly visible from the nearby Gardiner and is fast becoming a Toronto icon.

 

This new park at present has not been formally named. It is proposed that in keeping with the excitement generated by this new facility, a name be chosen through a public competition. The competition, to be carried out in association with the publication "Spacing" would involve a panel of judges comprised of well-known Torontonians. Their deliberations would respect the City's parameters for naming parks. Formal approval of a selected park name would then be sought from the Toronto and East Community Council.
