Refusal Report - 1100 Queen Street West - Rezoning Application
Committee Recommendations

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council refuse application 10-103027 STE 18 OZ for 1100 Queen Street West because Entertainment Facilities are not permitted and are not appropriate in MCR districts that are directly adjacent to low-density residential neighbourhoods.

 

2.         City Council instruct the City Solicitor, together with other appropriate City staff, to attend any Ontario Municipal Board hearing in support of the positions recommended in this report.

Origin
(April 29, 2010) 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 to permit an Entertainment Facility use at 1100 Queen Street West. The existing establishment at this location, known as “The Social” has been operating for approximately five years after having obtained building permits and a business licence for a Restaurant use. However, its current operation more closely reflects that of an Entertainment Facility, as defined by Zoning By-law 438-86. Therefore, the applicant proposes to rezone the site to allow an Entertainment Facility use in order to reflect its current operation.

 

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

407 Huron Street - Intention to Designate Under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act
Committee Recommendations

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 

 

1.         City Council include the property at 407 Huron Street (Thomas Wilson House) on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties.

 

2.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 407 Huron Street (Thomas Wilson House) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

 

3.         City Council amend Attachment No. 3, under the heading “Heritage Attributes”, of the report (March 2, 2010) from the Acting Director, Policy and Research, City Planning, by deleting:

 

a.         the words “(the west verandah has been enclosed in the first storey)” in Bullet No. 6; and

 

b.         the following Bullet No. 9:

 

                        “The two-storey rear (east) wing with brick cladding and a mansard roof with gabled dormers”.

Origin
(March 2, 2010) Report from the Acting Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division
Summary

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 407 Huron Street (Thomas W. Wilson House) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.  In October 2009, the property owner applied for a residential demolition permit which has not been issued.

 

Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property merits inclusion on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties for its cultural heritage value.  Because the site is the subject of a demolition application, staff recommend that Council state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act to protect the site’s cultural heritage values and attributes.

175 Jones Avenue - Alteration to a Heritage Property and Intention to Designate, Part IV, Section 29, Ontario Heritage Act and Authority to Enter Into a Heritage Easement Agreement
Committee Decision

The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the report dated April 12, 2010, from the Acting Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division, respecting 175 Jones Avenue - Alteration to a Heritage Property and Intention to Designate, Part IV, Section 29, Ontario Heritage Act and Authority to Enter Into a Heritage Easement Agreement, until its meeting to be held on June 22, 2010, in order that it can be considered with the zoning report on 169-175 Jones Avenue from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

Summary

This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations to the heritage property at 175 Jones Avenue, the former St. Clement's Anglican Church.  This report further recommends the designation of this property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

 

This report addresses an application to adaptively reuse the church structure as a residential condominium and construct a 4-storey residential condominium building.  The proposed rehabilitation project retains the original structure of the church.  Also, the existing addition to the rear of the church is to be removed and replaced with a new 3-storey addition.  Two new floor levels will be added to the interior of the existing church.

 

The proposed alterations are necessary to accommodate the new use for the church. The front (west) bay of the building will be conserved and will remain essentially as it is now with some minor alterations. The side and rear elevations will retain their important characteristics while undergoing alteration to incorporate new windows and doors.

Summary

This report recommends that City Council include on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties the properties on the south side of Hubbard Boulevard, between Wineva and Hammersmith Avenues, and the properties on the west side of Wineva Avenue, south of Hubbard Boulevard.  The 12 properties identified in the recommendations have cultural heritage value as an enclave of residential buildings from the 1920s that are among the last surviving dwellings with direct access to the waterfront in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood.  Their inclusion on the City’s heritage inventory would enable staff to monitor the sites and encourage the retention of their heritage attributes and values.

Request for a Fence Exemption to the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447-Fences at 40 Burton Avenue
Committee Decision

The Toronto and East York Community Council did not grant the fence exemption for 40 Burton Avenue.

Origin
(January 19, 2010) Report from the Manager, Toronto and East York District, Municipal Licensing and Standards
Summary

This staff report is about a matter for which the Toronto and East York Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision. The applicant, being the property owner, is seeking an exemption to the provisions of the City of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 447 Fences, Section 447-2(B), to permit an existing wrought iron fence constructed on top of a brick wall fence located adjacent to the south property line and also a chain link fence constructed at the west and north side of the property, to exceed the maximum allowable height. The Fence By-law provides that a fence in the rear or side yard area can be constructed to a height of 2 metres.  (See Attachments 1 and 3).

 

A wrought iron fence measuring approximately 1.15 metres in height was constructed on top of an existing brick wall fence that was built sometime in the early 1900s, along the south property line.  The brick wall fence varies in height from approximately 2.25 metres at the east side to 2.71 metres at the west side, due to the slope of the grade.  The brick wall fence measures approximately 59.44 metres in length.  The combined height of the wrought iron and brick fence varies in height from 3.40 metres at the east side and 3.86 metres at the west side, due the slope of the grade.

 

A 3.05 metre high chain link fence was built at the north west corner as an extension to an existing chain link fence for a distance of 10.97 metres along the west property line and 22.25 metres along the north property line.

Preliminary Report - 150 Sudbury Street - City Initiated Official Plan Amendment to Allow Condominium - Registered Rental Units
Committee Decision

The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:

 

1.         Staff schedule a community consultation meeting, together with the Ward Councillor, for the proposed site-specific Official Plan Amendment for the lands known as 150 Sudbury Street, attached as Attachment 1 to the report dated April 27, 2010, from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

 

2.         Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site.

 

3.         Notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act be given according to the regulations under the Planning Act.

Origin
(April 27, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District
Summary

This proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) was initiated by the City after January 1, 2007 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.  The Executive Committee and Affordable Housing Committee both directed City Planning staff to immediately commence the Official Plan Amendment process.  Given the timelines and meeting schedules, at the time of drafting this report, Planning staff did not have City Council direction to commence.  Recommendations from the Executive and Affordable Housing Committees will be before City Council on May 11 and 12, 2010.

 

The  proposed OPA amends the definition of “rental housing” for  the lands known as 150 Sudbury Street in order for Toronto Artscape Inc., a non-profit housing provider, to benefit from municipal assistance through property tax waivers for the provision of affordable rental housing.  City Council adopted amendments to the Zoning By-law for 150 Sudbury Street, which secures 20 artist live/work units with affordable rents (0.8 times the average CMHC market rent for the City).  The Bills have not yet been placed before City Council for enactment.  These 20 units are proposed to be condominium registered units, which is explicitly prohibited by the definition of “rental housing” in the Official Plan.  In order to benefit from municipal assistance for affordable rental units, while at the same time being condominium registered units, a site specific OPA is required for the 20 live/work units.

 

This report provides the background and rationale for the proposed site-specific OPA and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the applications and on the community consultation process.  In consultation with the Ward Councillor, staff have scheduled a community consultation meeting for May 19, 2010.  Staff is targeting the statutory public meeting for the June 22, 2010 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council.

Summary

The Yonge-Dundas Square Board of Management (the Board) has expressed concern regarding sampling, marketing and illegal vending taking place on sidewalks adjacent to the Square.  The Board believes that such activities obstruct and encumber the sidewalks, particularly during crowded events, and that these also have a negative impact upon permitted vendors operating from licensed locations within the Square, thereby affecting the economic viability of the Square.

 

This report recommends the adoption of a by-law which prohibits sampling and marketing (referred to in the by-law as street promotions) on the public sidewalks adjacent to the Yonge-Dundas Square.  The by-law (Appendix ‘A’) would contain an exception for the distribution of information flyers provided that the by-law is otherwise complied with.

Hydrant Relocations - St. Clair Avenue West
Committee Decision

The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the report dated May 5, 2010, from the Director, Transportation Services, President, Toronto Parking Authority, and the Director, District Operations, Toronto Water, respecting Hydrant Relocations - St. Clair Avenue West, until its next meeting to be held on June 22, 2010.

Origin
(May 5, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, President, Toronto Parking Authority, Director, District Operations, Toronto Water
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.

1.         Despite subsection 918-21B of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 918, Parking on Residential Front Yards and Boulevards ("Chapter 918"), City Council grant authority to the General Manager of Transportation Services to accept an appeal from the applicant(s) for front yard parking for 336 Howland Avenue to Toronto and East York Community Council in accordance with the appeal process outlined in subsection 918-21A.

Origin
(May 7, 2010) Report from Councillor Joe Mihevc, Ward 21, St. Paul's West
Summary

The new owners of this property discovered that their front yard parking space was illegal, even though it has existed for 30 years on a side of the street where each and every other property has a front yard parking space. The property owners have agreed to reconstruct the pad in an environmentally-friendly way and enhance the streetscape with more greening on the front yard.

 

The property in question is located within the area of the former City of Toronto in that portion of Ward 21 located south of St. Clair Avenue West. Given that this property falls within that portion of Ward 21 located south of St. Clair Avenue West, pursuant to subsection 918-5B of Chapter 918, the General Manager of Transportation Services shall not accept a front yard parking application for front yard parking for this residential address.

 

Further, given its location in Ward 21, according to subsection 918-21B, this property shall not be entitled to file an appeal pursuant to subsection 918-21 of Chapter 918 unless the property has no other alternative parking option and meets the physical requirements set out in Chapter 918.

 

In this instance, the property in question does have alternative parking as there is on-street permit parking in this area. Accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 918, the property is ineligible to appeal.

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing - 2 St. James Court
Committee Recommendations

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor and any relevant Staff to attend at all proceedings before the Ontario Municipal Board pertaining to 2 St. James Court and to hire any consultants required to uphold the decision of the Committee of Adjustment.

Origin
(May 12, 2010) Letter from Councillor Pam McConnell, Ward 28, Toronto Centre-Rosedale
Summary

The owner of 2 St. James Court has appealed a decision of the Toronto and East York Committee of Adjustment to refuse an application for variances to Zoning By-law 438-86.  A copy of the Committee's decision is attached.  The Ontario Municipal Board has not yet set a hearing date for the appeal.  This property was the subject of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing in 2008.  In that case, the City Solicitor attended in opposition and the Board did not allow the requested variances.  The current application is also not appropriate for the development of the property.

 

The applicant has brought a Motion before the Board seeking an Order for Disclosure and an Order that the Board rule separately on each of the requested variances.  The Board has set June 14, 2010 to hear the Motion.  A date will also likely be set in the near future for a hearing of the appeal of the Committee's decision.

Naming the Public Laneway Bounded by Herrick Street, Palmerston Boulevard, Harbord Street, and Euclid Avenue as "Angelo Scarfo Way"
Committee Decision

The Toronto and East York Community Council requested the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District to report to the June 22, 2010, meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council on naming the public laneway bounded by Herrick Street, Palmerston Boulevard, Harbord Street, and Euclid Avenue as “Angelo Scarfo Way”.

Origin
(May 18, 2010) Letter from Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone, Ward 19, Trinity-Spadina
Summary

The late Angelo Scarfo immigrated to Canada in the 1950s and raised a family of nine children from the same address at 609 Euclid Avenue for 48 years.  For more than five decades, Mr. Scarfo was an active and cherished part of this neighbourhood, well-known and well-respected.  (See attached petition for strong community support.) 

 

Mr. Scarfo instilled in his family an understanding of a great city’s foundations: neighbourhoods.  Their steadfast presence on Euclid has been like an anchor for more than one generation and created a special place for new generations to move into; a place where they can make their own contributions by raising a family, starting a small business, or cultivating a new garden.  Toronto is a great City because of neighbourhoods built by people like Mr. Angelo Scarfo. 

 

Considering all that, I very strongly believe it is appropriate that he be recognized by designating the public laneway bounded by Herrick Street, Palmerston Boulevard, Harbord Street, and Euclid Avenue as “Angelo Scarfo Way”.

Summary

1809304 Ontario Limited has submitted an application for a new liquor licence to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) for a premises at 77 Peter Street operating under the name Studio 77 (the “Premises”). The Premises formerly operated as Hotel Boutique Lounge. The applicant is seeking a liquor licence for a capacity of 211 patrons. Objections to the licence must be provided to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission by May 28, 2010.

 

Since 2003, spanning 3 separate licensees operating as Hotel Boutique Lounge, there have been several Liquor Licence Act violations resulting in liquor licence suspensions at the Premises. This includes a 22-day suspension of the licence in July, 2003; a 21-day suspension in June, 2004; a 7-day suspension in December, 2004; a 60-day suspension in May, 2006, and; a 21-day suspension in October, 2007. On June 18, 2009, the liquor licence for the Premises was revoked by the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming pending a hearing for a Notice of Proposal to revoke the licence. An undercover operation of the Toronto Police Service observed the sale of cocaine and marijuana in the Premises and after hours liquor sales, and that the previous licensee either knew or ought to have known that these activities were occurring at the Premises. A hearing never took place and as a result the licence has remained revoked since the Registrar's Order.

 

The Premises is located in the City’s entertainment district among a large concentration of night clubs. Area residents are concerned that any licensed establishment which has a history of problems for past licensees can only lead to problems in the future. Their concerns relate in particular to noise, litter, safety and security, drug use, and other disturbances to residents in the area.

 

This application for a liquor licence is not in the public interest unless certain conditions, addressing the concerns of the community, are attached to the licence. Given the large capacity being sought for the Premises and the history of suspensions and the revocation of the licence, under no circumstance should a liquor sales licence be granted at the Premises without appropriate conditions attached.

Summary

I am writing to request that Heritage Preservation Services staff report on designating 204 Beech Avenue as a heritage property to be included on the Heritage Inventory.

 

In the opinion of E.R.A. Heritage Architects (letter to follow) 204 Beech Avenue has heritage significance.

 

The property has been recently purchased and the new owner has indicated his intention to the community to demolish the existing house and build a new structure in its place.

 

I would ask Community Council to require Heritage Preservation staff to expedite its reporting on the site and that any application that comes forward to the City’s Building Department regarding 204 Beech Avenue be stayed until Heritage Preservation Services Reports to the Toronto Preservation Board and Toronto adn East York Community Council.
