This application is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

This application proposes the construction of a 29-storey condominium tower at the west end of the site and a 26-storey tower at the east end of the site.  Tower heights include the podium levels beneath each.  The podium levels step from 5 to 6 storeys from west to east following the Eglinton Avenue frontage.  The applicant is proposing 2-storey retail bays which are accessed from grade within the podium levels along the Eglinton Avenue frontage.

The City Planning Division is recommending approval of the proposed development described above based on its location and on its planned and design attributes which include:

a.         the site is within a high rise Apartment Neighbourhood and is two blocks from the intersection of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue. It has excellent transit connections to most points within the City and is within proximity to retail, service and entertainment facilities and places of employment;

b.         the proposed redevelopment, which includes large-bay retail commercial spaces, will add variety to the current commercial mix on this section of Eglinton Avenue East.  Large-bay retail would be secured in the site-specific by-law which requires a minimum of 2,700 m2 of commercial space on the second floor;

c.         a portion of this site is currently underutilized as an unpaved, non-landscaped surface parking lot.  This development will fill-in and extend the continuous commercial uses for the full block of Eglinton Avenue East between Dunfield Avenue and Lillian Street;

d.         the proposed residential intensification of this site complies with the development criteria for new development in Mixed Use Areas and in Apartment Neighbourhoods designations of the Official Plan.  In particular, the location and massing of the building provides a reasonable transition and fit, between areas of different intensity and scale from the west side of Yonge Street to the east towards Mount Pleasant Road.  It also provides a reasonable transition and fit between areas of different land use from the site to the lands to the south which are designated Apartment Neighbourhoods;

e.         the proposed development complies with the Tall Buildings Guidelines. For example, the minimum separation distances between the proposed towers exceed the recommended minimum of 25 metres (the actual proposed separation ranges between 28 and 32 metres).  The separation distances between the proposed towers and the existing building to the south ranges between 26 and 36 metres and the tower floorplates meet the maximum average size of 750 square metres (not including balcony projections);

f.          the location and screening the loading bays, the parking ramp and garbage storage to the rear of the building off of a private through-laneway which connects Dunfield Avenue with Lillian Street minimizes the traffic and visual impact on the adjacent streets and residences; and

g.         the community benefits that would be available as a result of approval and construction of this development including funding for: the Central Eglinton Community Centre and funds to flow to the acquisition and development of new parks in the local area.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.         City Council amend Zoning By-law 1073-2006, by replacing Plan 1 (Block Map) with the map attached to Attachment 1 to the report dated April 12, 2010, from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to remove the holding symbol (“h”) from Blocks 32 and 36 in the Railway Lands West, being the lands municipally known as 150 and 170 Fort York Boulevard.

2.         The Bills related to the Zoning By-law Amendment be introduced to Council for enactment after the owner of Blocks 32 and 36 has entered into a Precinct Agreement satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

3.         City Council authorize the appropriate staff to accept the conveyance of Risk Assessed roads and parks containing fill excavated from the development portions of Blocks 32 and 36 in accordance with a Risk Assessment approved by the Ministry of the Environment and that there be appropriate provisions in the Precinct Agreement respecting conveyance on these terms.

4.         City Council authorize execution of a Precinct Agreement for Blocks 32 and 36 to give effect to the foregoing and as described in the report dated April 12, 2010, from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

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.

A Zoning By-law amendment application has been filed proposing the removal of the holding symbol (“h”) from the CR zoning on Blocks 32 and 36 of the Railway Lands West (RLW).  Block 32 comprises the lands municipally known as 150 Fort York Boulevard and Block 36 is 170 Fort York Boulevard.  The removal of the “h” will permit residential development with street related retail and service uses to proceed.

This report reviews the applicable Official Plan policies, recommends execution of the required Precinct Agreement and recommends approval of the application to amend Zoning By-law No. 073-2006, to remove the holding symbol.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.         City Council authorize the appropriate City officials to amend the Section 16 Agreement for 15 York Street as follows:

            -           Revise the location of bicycle parking to allow for bicycle parking to also be located on P3 and P4 levels.

The purpose of this report is to seek Council authorization to amend the Section 16 Agreement for 15 York Street to reflect minor changes to the location of bicycle parking.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.         City Council approve the proposed replacement building for the property at 226 Queen Street West, substantially in accordance with the plans and drawings prepared by Robert Chang Architect Inc., dated March 3, 2010.

2.         City Council approve the issuance of a demolition permit for the building at 226 Queen Street West within the Queen Street West Heritage Conservation District subject to the applicant obtaining a building permit for the replacement structure.

This report recommends approval of the demolition of the two-storey non-contributory commercial building at 226 Queen Street West (north side of the street). The proposed project would then construct a new five storey mixed-use replacement building. The demolition approval is conditional upon the applicant removing the fifth-storey of the proposed replacement building.

The property at 226 Queen Street West is included within the Queen Street West Heritage Conservation District (QSWHCD), which extends from University Avenue to Bathurst Street.  The subject site is located at the northwest corner of Queen Street West and McCaul Street (Attachment 1). The site has prominence as a corner location within the Queen Street West Heritage Conservation District.

The replacement structure as proposed would have an overall height of five stories or 19.5 metres (with a large rooftop penthouse further extending the height.) The proposed height is contrary to both the Zoning By-law provisions and the Heritage Conservation District Plan which permits structures to an absolute 16 metre height maximum.

The design of the project façades along both street frontages generally respects architectural characteristics of the district. However, further modification of various design elements would result in the project further complementing the fine-grain character that is expected in such heritage districts.

The Toronto Preservation Board on March 25, 2010, considered the report (March 8, 2010) from the Acting Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division, respecting 226 Queen Street West - Demolition and Replacement of a Structure within the Queen Street West Heritage Conservation District.

The Toronto and East York Community Council requested the Acting Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division to report to the June 22, 2010 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on:

1.         any necessary amendments to the designating by-law, as outlined in the letter dated March 25, 2010, from Councillor Adam Vaughan, for the following:

a.         214 King Street West; and

b.         260 King Street West (including amendment of the Easement Agreement); and

2.         the potential for designating the following properties:

            -           212 King Street West (listed June 20, 1973);

            -           220 King Street West (listed May 28, 1984);

            -           226-270 King Street West (listed May 28, 1984); and

            -           274 King Street West (listed May 28, 1984).

The Toronto Preservation Board on March 25, 2010, considered the communication (March 25, 2010) from Councillor Adam Vaughan, Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina, respecting Heritage Properties on King Street West between Simcoe Street and Duncan Street.

The Toronto and East York Community Council approved the application to demolish the subject residential building at 487 Dupont Street with the following conditions:

a.         that all debris and rubble be removed immediately after demolition; and

b.         that any holes on the property be backfilled with clean fill.

In accordance with City-wide residential demolition control under Article II, Demolition Control, of Municipal Code Ch. 363. as amended by By-law No. 1009-2006, enacted by the City Council on September 27, 2006, under the authority of Section 33 of the Planning Act, I refer the demolition application for 487 Dupont Street to you, to decide whether to grant or refuse the application, including any conditions, if any, to be attached to the permit.

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, in consultation with the Principal of Bowmore Public School and local residents, Transportation Services is seeking authority to designate a 15-minute-maximum parking area on the west side of Bowmore Road, south of Gerrard Street East. This proposed 30 metre-long short-term student pick-up/drop-off area is intended to address concerns with illegal parking and ensuing traffic congestion in front of Bowmore Public School during school arrival and dismissal times.

To allow the above, the existing 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, parking prohibition on the west side of Bowmore Road would have to be reduced by 30 metres.  These changes would result in five short-term parking spaces and a more controlled parking environment.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.         City Council amend the turn and straight through regulations at the intersections of: Eglinton Avenue West and Old Forest Hill Road; Eglinton Avenue West and Vesta Drive; and Eglinton Avenue West and Gardiner Road, outlined in Appendix A of the report dated April 5, 2010, from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District.

In 2009, the various turn prohibitions and/or straight-through traffic movements at the intersections of Eglinton Avenue West at Old Forest Hill Road, Vesta Drive, and Gardiner Road were temporarily rescinded to enhance traffic operation along Eglinton Avenue West, between Bathurst Street and Chaplin Crescent during bridge reconstruction on Eglinton Avenue West, east of Spadina Road and replacement of a watermain along this section of Eglinton Avenue West. The bridge reconstruction work was completed in August 2009 but the watermain work has been delayed.

Given the many complaints Transportation Services and the Ward Councillor have received about traffic infiltration in the residential neighbourhood, south of Eglinton Avenue West, and the deferral of further construction along this section of Eglinton Avenue West for the time being, the regulations that were temporarily rescinded in 2009 should be reinstated.

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1.         City Council approve the installation of a pedestrian traffic control signal on Queen’s Park Crescent East, just south of Grosvenor Street.

Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of a pedestrian traffic control signal on Queen’s Park Crescent East, just south of Grosvenor Street.

The number of pedestrians observed crossing Queen’s Park Crescent near Grosvenor Street, and the delays they incur, is sufficient to justify either a pedestrian crossover or traffic control signals.  Given the nature of this street, with four lanes for northbound traffic and the curvature around Queen’s Park, the most appropriate device to assist pedestrians is a traffic control signal for pedestrians only.
