Summary

This application proposes to convert the existing, vacant public school at 180 Shaw Street into a centre for arts and community programming. The centre will be run by Artscape and will consist of non-profit arts and community use space.

 

The proposal is to convert a vacant school site to a centre for non-profit arts and community uses such as artist studios, galleries, offices for small non profit agencies and a small cafe. The site is located in an area identified as having the fifth highest concentration of artists in all of Canada, many of whom need dedicated space to create and sell their art. The proposed uses are low impact and will not significantly increase the demands on the site or surrounding Neighbourhood. Further, the number of people using the site will be significantly less than when the site was used as a public school.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Financial Impact

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

Refusal Report - 288A, 290 and 294 Adelaide Street West - Zoning Amendment Application
Origin
(July 20, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Recommendations

The City Planning Division recommends that:

 

1.         City Council refuse the Zoning By-law Amendment application for 288A, 290 and 294 Adelaide Street West for the reasons set out in this report including:

 

a.         the proposal represents over-development of the property;

 

b.         the proposal is out of scale with the existing and planned built form context;

 

c.         the proposal would create negative impacts on the public realm and adjacent and nearby properties affecting their use and enjoyment;

 

d.         the proposal would set a negative precedent for future development undermining the vision for this area of the City;

 

e.         the proposal promotes commuter and all day parking in the downtown contrary to the policies of the Official Plan;

 

f.          the proposal is inconsistent with the King-Spadina Urban Design Guidelines and Criteria for the Review of Tall Buildings Proposals;

 

g.         the proposal is inconsistent with the Provincial Policy Statement;

 

h.         the proposal does not conform to the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe; and

 

i.          the proposal does not complement its heritage context or the warehouse character of the Adelaide Street and Richmond Street corridors.

 

2.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor together with City Planning and other appropriate staff to appear before the Ontario Municipal Board in support of City Council’s decision to refuse the application, in the event that the application is appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

 

3.         City Council authorize City Planning, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, to secure services, facilities or matters pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, as may be required by the Chief Planner, should the proposal be approved in some form by the Ontario Municipal Board.

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. It proposes a 37-storey mixed use building, 122.4 metres high, including mechanicals, at 288A, 290 and 294 Adelaide Street West.  The proposed development includes 281 apartments, approximately 276 square metres of retail space, 1562 square metres of office space, an at grade loading space, an 86 space, 5 level commercial parking garage above grade, and 4 levels of residential parking underground with 160 parking spaces.

 

The proposal represents over-development of the property contrary to the planning framework for King-Spadina. The building height that exceeds the zoning by-law permissions by 87.4 metres is significantly out of scale with the existing and planned built form context and creates negative impacts on the public realm and abutting and nearby properties that affects their use and enjoyment. Its approval would set a negative precedent for future development that undermines the vision for this area of the City. It also includes a 5-level above-grade commercial parking garage that promotes the use of private automobiles over transit and gives priority to commuter and all-day parking in the downtown contrary to the objectives of the Official Plan. City Planning recommends that Council refuse the zoning by-law amendment application.

Financial Impact

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

Summary

This application was made on December 28, 2006 and subsequently revised most recently on April 14, 2010 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

 

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan as it pertains to a portion of the site at 3 Belsize Drive and to amend the Zoning By-law for the entire site at 1955-1985 Yonge Street, 3 Belsize Drive and 18-22 Millwood Road.  These amendments and a permission to demolish the existing rental apartments on site would allow the construction of the proposed 8-storey mixed use building with retail at grade and 206 residential units including 33 rental replacement units.

 

The City Planning Division is recommending approval of the proposed development and the application for a permit to demolish the residential rental units under Municipal Code 667 based on its location on an Avenue and on its planning and design attributes which include:

 

a.         the proposed residential units are comprised of a mix of  tenures (condominium and rental apartment units) and a mix of unit sizes ranging from bachelor to 3 bedroom units;

 

b.         the proposed development provides a transition in scale and density as it steps down from the Yonge Street mixed use corridor to the low density neighbourhood to the east;

 

c.         the proposed development maintains adequate sunlight for residents in abutting neighbourhoods and at pedestrian level on Yonge Street;

 

d.         the applicant’s Avenue Segment Review (as adopted by staff) indicates that incremental redevelopments of the same general scale (but as modified in the future by the Mid-Rise Performance Standards) within the identified Avenue Segment will not negatively impact the neighbourhood to the east;

 

e.         the proposed new commercial bays on Yonge Street would provide updated retail and service space which would attract new commercial and employment activity to the area;

 

f.          the inclusion of grade-related units on Belsize Drive assist in the integration of the proposed building into the neighbourhood to the east;

 

g.         the site is within a block of the Davisville subway station and has excellent transit connections to most points within the City;

 

h.         the site is on Yonge Street with close proximity to retail, service and entertainment facilities and places of employment; and

 

i.          the Section 37 benefits that would be secured as a result of approval and construction of this development including; the replacement of all 33 existing rental apartment units with new rental units of equivalent size within the new building and funding for either or both the Neshama Accessible Playground at Oriole Park and the new park which is to be developed south of the TTC bus barns at Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue West.

Financial Impact

In autumn 2008, the City and TCHC structured a cost-sharing mechanism for the delivery of hard infrastructure within the Regent Park redevelopment area.  This was achieved via the adoption of the 2009 Capital Budget and 2010-2018 Capital Plan and Forecast by Council which included funding for the identified infrastructure and community facilities for the full redevelopment of Regent Park within the relevant City divisions' budgets.

 

Phase 2 of the Regent Park redevelopment contains a significant portion of the total hard infrastructure and community facilities required for the entire project.  Costs of these capital projects, including the City's 60% share of hard infrastructure for Phase 2, total $45.4 million.  Overall, City funding for all phases is estimated at $62.6 million.  The updated costs will be included for Council's consideration in the 2011 Capital Budget and 2012-2020 Capital Plan. Some community infrastructure projects, in Children's Services and Parks, Forestry and Recreation have been approved in prior year capital budgets, with work currently proceeding.

 

The Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and concurs with the Financial Impact Statement.

Summary

This application was made on November 20, 2008 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

 

This application proposes the development of a 32-storey residential tower on top of a 4-storey mixed-use podium for a total of 36-storeys and 271 dwelling units.  The building height would be 112 metres and 118 metres to mechanical penthouse.

 

The 4-storey podium incorporates 4 levels of above grade parking for residents of the residential tower component at 5-7 the Esplanade.  Previous approvals granted 6 levels of underground parking for the residents of the “L-Tower” residential condominium at 1 Front Street East (now 8 The Esplanade).  A total of 523 parking spaces will be provided on site with 373 of those for use by the adjacent building proposed at 1 Front Street East (now 8 The Esplanade).  The parking area would be accessed from The Esplanade, at the east end of the site abutting an existing driveway serving 2 Church Street, which is a Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) garage.

 

The floor space index for the residential and mixed-use component of this project, inclusive of the above grade parking podium, is approximately 11 times the area of the lot.

 

The proposed Official Plan and Rezoning applications are appropriate for the development of this site as it provides for residential mixed-use development on an underutilized site combining a surface parking lot with surplus lands formerly owned by GO Transit.  The site is within the downtown core along Yonge Street and abutting the Financial District, and near Union Station and the Yonge/University subway line.  There is already a mix of commercial and residential land uses along The Esplanade and the proposed 36-storey development is an appropriate and compatible land use.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

Financial Impact

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

Request for Direction Report - 2 True Davidson Drive - Official Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Site Plan Control Applications
Origin
(July 29, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Recommendations

The City Planning Division recommends that:

 

1.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor and necessary City staff to attend at the Ontario Municipal Board hearing in support of the draft Official Plan Amendment and the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachments 4 and 5 respectively to the July 29, 2010 report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

 

2.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request the Ontario Municipal Board to withhold any order approving the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments until such time as the City advises that the conveyances to the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority have been completed in accordance with the applicable Subdivision Agreement, as amended and that outstanding subdivision matters have been addressed.

 

3.         City Council authorize the Chief Planner and Executive Director, in consultation with the City Solicitor, to authorize technical and stylistic changes to the draft Official Plan Amendment and the draft Zoning Amendment being supported as well as other modifications considered appropriate and consistent with the objectives outlined in this report with respect to the proposed designations and implementation of the applicable Toronto Official Plan policies.

 

4.         City Council authorize staff to continue with efforts to resolve any outstanding issues related to requirements of Technical Services as well as Toronto Region Conservation Authority and report directly to Council to its August 2010 meeting, if necessary, to obtain revised direction prior to the Ontario Municipal Board hearing.

 

5.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor and necessary City staff to take such necessary steps to implement the foregoing.

Summary

This application seeks amendments to the Official Plan and the former East York Zoning By-law 6752, as amended, to permit the construction of a two and a half-storey single-family dwelling at 2 True Davidson Drive.  The applicant is the owner of a block within the Governor’s Bridge subdivision (Block 63).  The proposed amendments relate to a subject site within the block that will be created as a remnant parcel once certain land conveyances to the City and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority are completed pursuant to an applicable Subdivision Agreement.  The subject site is located outside of the original zoning amendment area applicable to the lots within the plan of subdivision for the Governor’s Bridge area.

 

The applicant has appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to the Ontario Municipal Board due to Council’s failure to make a decision on the applications within the time prescribed by the Planning Act.  The Site Plan application has also been appealed.  A one week OMB hearing has been scheduled for the week of October 25, 2010.

 

This report seeks Council’s direction with respect to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments given that a Final Report was never submitted.

Financial Impact

There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report.

Summary

The City Planning Division is recommending approval of the proposed development based on its location on an Avenue and on its planning and design attributes which include:

 

a.         the proposed development provides a transition in scale and density as it steps down from the Danforth Avenue mixed use corridor to the low density neighbourhood;

 

b.         the proposed development maintains adequate sunlight for residents in abutting neighbourhoods and at pedestrian level on Danforth Avenue;

 

c.         the applicant’s Avenue Segment Review (as adopted by staff) indicates that incremental redevelopments of the same general scale (but as modified in the future by the Mid-Rise Performance Standards) within the identified Avenue Segment will not negatively impact the adjacent neighbourhoods;

 

d.         the site is within a block of  the Woodbine subway station and has excellent transit connections to most points within the City;

 

e.         the site is on Danforth Avenue with close proximity to retail, service and entertainment facilities and places of employment; and

 

f.          the Section 37 benefits that would be secured as a result of approval and construction of this development including contributions towards 3 parks in the vicinity of the proposed development.

 

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

Financial Impact

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

Recommendations

The General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation recommends that:

 

1.         City Council authorize Urban Forestry to issue a permit for the removal of one privately-owned tree at 66-76 Kippendavie Avenue.

Summary

The report requests that City Council authorize Urban Forestry to issue a permit for the destruction of a privately-owned tree located at 66-76 Kippendavie Avenue. The applicant has requested permission to remove the tree to accommodate the construction of a new, 4-storey, 65 unit, residential condominium building. 

 

The tree in question is a Norway spruce tree (Picea abies), measuring 56 cm in diameter.  The tree is currently in good and maintainable condition.  The tree is however, situated such that it is within the allowable building footprint and direct conflict with the proposed construction.  Therefore, the tree will have to be removed if this project is to proceed as planned.

Recommendations

The City Planning Division recommends that:

 

1.         City Council adopt the revised Reasons for Designation as set out in Attachment Nos. 4-6 of this report.

Summary

This report recommends that City Council amend the Reasons for Designation for the properties at 6-16 Glen Road (Glen Road Houses) as adopted by City Council at its meeting of November 19 and 20, 2007, and that City Council pass the by-law designating the properties at 6-16 Glen Road under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

 

On December 7, 2007, City Council served notice of its intention to designate the properties at 6-16 Glen Road under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.  The representatives of the owners of the Glen Road properties submitted an objection to the notice of intention to designate and the matter was referred to the Conservation Review Board.  The owners have now agreed to withdraw their objection subject to minor revisions to the original Reasons for Designation (Attachment No. 3) and their replacement by the revised Reasons for Designation (Attachment Nos. 4-6).

 

Heritage Preservation Services is satisfied that the revised Reasons for Designation will ensure that the properties’ cultural heritage values and attributes are preserved.

A development application is pending that would affect many of the subject sites.  The designation of the properties would enable City Council to control alterations to the sites, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

Summary

This report recommends that City Council include the property at 450 Pape Avenue (William Harris House) on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties and state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

Park Bench Dedicated to the Memory of Al Gosling

(July 13, 2010) Member Motion from City Council
Recommendations

Councillor Ford, seconded by Councillor Mammoliti, recommends that:

 

1.         City Council direct Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff to install a park bench dedicated to the memory of Al Gosling.

 

2.         City Council direct Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff to install the bench in Sherbourne Common or Allan Gardens or another suitable location to be determined in consultation with Peter Crawford.

 

3.         City Council direct that the costs associated with the bench be raised through private donations to the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Commemorative Tree and Bench Program.

Summary

City Council on July 6, 7 and 8, 2010, referred Motion MM51.5 by Councillor Ford, seconded by Councillor Mammoliti, to the Toronto and East York Community Council.

 

Mr. Al Gosling was a tenant of the Toronto Community Housing Corporation, at 11 Arleta Avenue, for 21 years before his eviction and subsequent death from health complications on October 11, 2009.

 

The recent release of the LeSage Report has emphasized the importance of improving our efforts to protect the vulnerable of our society.

 

In particular, the report recognizes that the Toronto Community Housing Corporation has an obligation to tenants as their landlord, but also a larger obligation to serve the community as a whole through its mandate “to provide quality housing for low and moderate income households and to create community conditions that minimize risk and promote resiliency.”

 

A park bench dedicated to the memory of Mr. Al Gosling will serve to remind us all of the importance of protecting our most vulnerable residents and that we live up to the standards that we have set for ourselves.

Alternate Side Parking - Parkmount Road
Origin
(July 14, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Recommendations

Transportation Services recommends that Toronto and East York Community Council:

 

1.         Rescind the alternate side parking regulations and allow parking only on the east side of Parkmount Road between the public lane south of Danforth Avenue and Felstead Avenue/Hanson Street by amending Chapters 400 and 925 of the Toronto Municipal Code as outlined in Appendix A and Appendix B attached to the report dated July 14, 2010, entitled “Alternate side parking – Parkmount Road”, 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 rescind the alternate side parking regulations on Parkmount Road between the public lane south of Danforth Avenue and Felstead Avenue/Hanson Street to allow parking only on the east side of the street in order to increase the on-street parking availability for area residents.

 

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

Financial Impact

The estimated cost of removing signs and installing new ones is $2500.00.  Funds have been allocated in the Transportation Services Division 2010 Operating Budget.

Summary

Transportation Services is requesting authority from City Council to implement a “No Stopping Anytime” regulation on the north side of St. Clair Avenue East, from Ferndale Avenue, to a point 30.5 metres east thereof.

 

The implementation of a “No Stopping Anytime” regulation will deter drivers from parking illegally on the north side of St. Clair Avenue East, east of Ferndale Avenue, in the vicinity of the signalized intersection.  This regulation will improve visibility for motorists exiting Ferndale Avenue, reduce traffic congestion, and potentially improve westbound traffic flow on this section of St. Clair Avenue East.

Financial Impact

The estimated cost of installing the signs necessary to identify the amended parking regulations is about $400.  Funds are available within the Transportation Services Division 2010 Operating Budget.

Proposed Passenger Loading Zone and Conversion of Public Lane to One-Way Westbound Operation - 326, 358 King Street West
Origin
(July 13, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Recommendations

Transportation Services recommends that:

 

1.         City Council prohibit standing at all times on the north side of King Street West from a point 29 metres west of John Street to a point 54 metres further west.

 

2.         City Council authorize the conversion of the public lane, first north of King Street West extending between John Street and Widmer Street to one-way westbound operation.

Summary

Transportation Services has evaluated a request from Daniels HR Corporation on behalf of the owner of Bell Lightbox, 326, 358 King Street West, to provide loading opportunities for motor coaches and to convert the operation of the public lane, north of King Street West, extending between John Street and Widmer Street to one-way westbound operation.

 

The designation of an on-street loading zone on the north side of King Street West will provide loading/unloading opportunities for patrons and will not adversely impact traffic or pedestrian operations on this section of King Street West.  The conversion of the operation of the public lane to one-way westbound operation will facilitate a “staging area” for motor coaches during major events while they wait for space to become available on King Street West, within the motor coach loading area.

Financial Impact

All costs associated with installation of the signage, will be the responsibility of the property owner.

 

In 2004, as a condition of development approval, an arrangement was brokered by then Councillor Olivia Chow to waive the customary compensation for loss of parking revenue in return for the creation of "a fund to facilitate the use of space within the TIFF portion of the building for the purposes of non-profit cultural or institutional uses".  The executed Section 37 agreement provides that funds in the amount of $300,000.00 be provided for this purpose.  We have confirmed that those funds have been secured.

 

All costs associated with the conversion of the public lane to one-way westbound operation will be the responsibility of the property owner.

Summary

Transportation Services is seeking authority from City Council to establish a school bus loading zone in front of Eastdale Collegiate on the south side of Gerrard Street East between Boulton Avenue and De Grassi Street.  The loading zone will facilitate curb side access for school buses during peak arrival and dismissal times.  Traffic operations and TTC streetcar service along Gerrard Street East will not be negatively impacted by the installation, however the installation will result in the loss of pay-and-display parking revenue.

Financial Impact

The estimated cost of installing signs and poles is $500.00.  Funds have been allocated in the Transportation Services Division 2010 Operating Budget.

 

The Toronto Parking Authority estimates the loss of revenue associated with the loss of parking in connection with the installation of the school bus loading to be approximately $5,500.00 annually.

1.         Not authorize installation of speed humps on Tyrrel Avenue, between Wychwood Avenue and Christie Street.

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 investigated installing speed humps on Tyrrel Avenue, between Wychwood Avenue and Christie Street to address residents’ concerns with the speed of traffic.

 

Staff’s assessment indicates the criteria as set out in the Traffic Calming Policy has not been met.  Therefore, installation of speed humps on Tyrrel Avenue is not recommended.

Results of Speed Hump Poll - Glenmount Park Road
Origin
(July 28, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Recommendations

Transportation Services recommends that Toronto and East York Community Council:

 

1.         Not approve the installation of traffic calming (speed humps) on Glenmount Park Road, between Gerrard Street East and Corley Avenue.

Summary

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 summarizes the results of a poll undertaken to determine resident support for installing speed humps on Glenmount Park Road, between Gerrard Street East and Corley Avenue.  The poll results indicated that a majority of responses were opposed to speed humps.

 

It should be noted that since the poll was conducted, further discussion has taken place among residents within the southern most block, between Corley Avenue and Burgess Avenue. These residents are requesting that speed humps be installed on this section of Glenmount Park Road.

Financial Impact

Adopting the above-noted recommendation carries no financial impact.  If, however, Toronto and East York Community Council decides to approve installing two speed humps on Glenmount Park Road, the following financial impact will result:

 

1.         The estimated cost for installing two speed humps on Glenmount Park Road is $6,000.00.  Funds in the amount of $418,000.00 have been allocated in the Transportation Services 2010 Capital Budget for traffic calming initiatives.  Installing speed humps on Glenmount Park Road would be subject to competing priorities and funding availability.

Hydrant Relocations - St. Clair Avenue West
Origin
(May 5, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, President, Toronto Parking Authority, Director, District Operations, Toronto Water
Recommendations

Staff of Toronto Water, Transportation Services and the Toronto Parking Authority recommend that:

 

1.         In accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2.5.7 (2) of Ontario Regulation 350/06, the existing fire hydrants at Nos. 566, 596, 628, 722, and 838 St. Clair Avenue West not be relocated to create additional parking spaces.

Summary

The purpose of this staff report is to reply to the Toronto East York Community Council Decision Document No. TE32.124 dated March 9, 2010 and specifically to report on the feasibility of relocating the existing mid-block fire hydrants along St. Clair Avenue West between Bathurst Street and Winona Drive closer to the corners so as to increase available parking spaces.  

 

In the process of putting together this report, staff from Transportation Services, Technical Services, Toronto Water, and the Toronto Parking Authority all investigated the existing conditions along St. Clair Avenue West and provided comments on possible ways to increase available parking spaces.

 

The review conducted by Transportation Services concluded that the fire hydrants at Nos. 838, 722, 596, and 566 St. Clair Avenue West could potentially be relocated from their existing locations to adjacent “No Parking” zones.   

 

The Toronto Parking Authority indicated that the relocation of  the hydrants would increase the on-street inventory by one or two spaces per location. The relocation of the hydrants would not impact on the Authority’s cost or have any other operational impacts.

 

Field investigations conducted by Toronto Water staff revealed that this stretch of St. Clair Avenue West is serviced by eleven fire hydrants on the north side and two on the south side of the street, with horizontal spacing between hydrants presently ranging from 47.3 metres to 178.5 metres. Ontario Regulation 350/06 (Building Code Act, 1992) Section 3.2.5.7 (2) regulates the maximum spacing between fire hydrants to be 90 metres. The hydrants identified by Transportation Services for potential relocation at Nos. 566, 596, 628, 722, and 838 St. Clair Avenue West cannot be relocated to the side street intersections as the spacing would exceed the required minimum of Ontario Regulation 350/06.

 

Technical Services reported that the issue of relocating the existing mid-block fire hydrants to the corners was addressed in 2009, and that all the hydrants that could be moved were already moved during the TTC track reconstruction.  There was one additional hydrant that was to have been installed at Arlington Avenue during the TTC track reconstruction. Due to unresolved issues at the time of construction however, the installation of the hydrant was delayed until the spring of 2010. Once this hydrant is installed, the existing 178.5 metre spacing reported by Toronto Water will be reduced.

Financial Impact

There is no financial impact for this activity.

d.         pay for the costs of preparing and registration of the agreement on title; and

3.         Request Legal Services to prepare, execute and arrange to register the Encroachment Agreement on title.

Summary

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 agent of the owners of 258 Warren Road to maintain various encroachments within the public right of way fronting 258 Warren Road. The encroachments include a 1.8 m high decorative wrought iron fence surmounted by a stone retaining wall, stone pillars and a glycol heating system within the driveway and private approach.

 

Although the decorative wrought iron fence surmounted by a stone retaining wall and stone pillars exceed the allowable height under the Municipal Code, they will not impact negatively on the public right of way. Similarly, the glycol system within the driveway and private approach will not impact negatively on the public right of way. Therefore, Transportation Services recommends approval of these encroachments.

 

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

Financial Impact

There is no financial impact to the City as a result of this report.

Pedestrian Zone Pilot Projects - Gould Street, Victoria Street, Willcocks Street and Devonshire Place - Community Council
Origin
(August 8, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, and the Director, Public Realm Section, Transportation Services
Recommendations

Transportation Services recommends that Toronto and East York Community Council:

 

1.         Close Gould Street to vehicular traffic in both directions between O’Keefe Lane and Bond Street from August 23, 2010 to September 30, 2011.

 

2.         Close Victoria Street to vehicular traffic in both directions between Gould Street and a point approximately 64 metres south of Gould Street from August 23, 2010 to September 30, 2011.

 

3.         Close Willcocks Street to vehicular traffic in both directions between Huron Street and St. George Street from August 23, 2010 to September 30, 2011.

 

4.         Close Devonshire Place to vehicular traffic in both directions between Hoskin Avenue and a point approximately 125 metres north of Hoskin Avenue from August 23, 2010 to September 30, 2011.

 

5.         Contingent upon the approval of Recommendations 1, 2, 3 and 4, approve the amendments to the traffic and parking regulations outlined in Appendix A to the report dated August 8, 2010 from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District and the Director, Public Realm Section.

 

6.         Request the General Manager of Transportation Services to evaluate the pilot pedestrian zones and report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council on the results in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Summary

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

 

At its meeting on September 15, 2009, Toronto and East York Community Council directed Transportation Services to consult with Ryerson University and University of Toronto on the feasibility of closing streets to vehicular traffic to implement pedestrian zone pilot projects and to report back on the results of the pilot projects in the third quarter of 2010. For a variety of reasons including proposed water main and on-campus construction projects, the pedestrian zone pilot projects have been delayed.

 

This report is seeking authority from Toronto and East York Community Council to close portions of Gould Street, Victoria Street, Willcocks Street and Devonshire Place to vehicular traffic, with the exception of emergency vehicles, for approximately 12 months to accommodate the Pedestrian Zone Pilot Projects at Ryerson University and at the University of Toronto and to report back to Toronto and East York Community Council on the effectiveness of the pilot projects by the fourth quarter of 2011.

Financial Impact

All costs associated with the installation of the Pedestrian Zone Pilot Projects are included within the Transportation Services Division’s Capital Budget in Account CTP 709-09. Maintenance costs associated with the pilot project(s) will be absorbed by the universities.

 

The closure of Willcocks Street and Devonshire Place will result in the loss of “Pay and Display” parking spots for the duration of the University of Toronto pilot project. As the pilot project is a City Council mandated initiative, the University of Toronto will not have to pay for the lost revenue from these parking spaces to the Toronto Parking Authority. The closure of Gould Street and Victoria Street has no impact on parking revenue.

Extension of Taxicab Stand - Richmond Street West, North Side, Between York Street and Bay Street
Origin
(January 18, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District
Recommendations

Transportation Services recommends that:

 

1.         City Council amend the Taxicab Stand regulation, currently in place for 2 taxicabs on the north side of Richmond Street West, between a point 28 metres east of York Street and a point 37 metres east of York Street, to operate for 5 taxicabs on the north side of Richmond Street West, between a point 28 metres east of York Street and a point 63.5 metres east of York Street.

 

2.         City Council rescind the existing ‘No Stopping 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday to Friday except Public Holidays’ regulation, currently in effect on the north side of Richmond Street West, between York Street and a point approximately 47 metres east.

 

3.         City Council rescind the existing ‘No Stopping 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., Monday to Friday except Public Holidays’ regulation, currently in effect on the north side of Richmond Street West, between a point 47 metres east of York Street and a point 36.0 metres west of Berti Street.

 

4.         City Council prohibit stopping on the north side of Richmond Street West, between York Street and a point approximately 63.5 metres east of York Street, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., except Saturdays, Sundays, and Public Holidays.

 

5.         City Council prohibit stopping on the north side of Richmond Street West, between a point 63.5 metres east of York Street and a point 36 metres west of Berti Street, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., Monday to Friday except Public Holidays.

Summary

The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel on January 1, 2010, closed the on-site taxicab facility in the Motor Court area of the hotel.  The Motor Court is located on the west side of the hotel, with access previously provided for taxis from York Street via a driveway between Queen Street West and Richmond Street West. As a result, taxis which typically would have waited on-site for their fares will need to be relocated off the hotel property.

 

Transportation Services is seeking authority to extend the easterly limit of the existing 2-vehicle taxicab stand, located on the north side of Richmond Street West east of York Street, to provide three additional taxicab spaces.  In order to provide 3 additional taxicab spaces, the bus pickup/drop off zone will need to be reduced by 16.5 metres.  This change will not impact significantly on bus loading/unloading operations.
