The Etobicoke York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on March 26, 2009 and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

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 replace the existing commercial plaza at 2230 Lake Shore Boulevard West with a 133 metre high-rise residential condominium building (approximately 44-storeys) containing approximately 341 condominium and townhouse-style units.  The development will consist of four levels of underground parking, a two to 4-storey podium, with retail commercial uses at grade along Lake Shore Boulevard West with office uses above.

 

The project is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement’s call for accommodation of residential growth in a manner that implements the City’s Official Plan.

 

The point tower and podium design respect the integrity of the existing neighbourhood, create a good public realm, and the landscaped open space on and adjacent to the site contribute to the development.

 

The proposal is compatible with the scale of other tall residential buildings existing, approved and proposed nearby, including Marina Del Ray, Humber Bay Shores and along Park Lawn Road.

 

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

This report presents the findings of a City-initiated study and recommends amendments to the former City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 438-86 for the properties located in the area north of Davenport Road between Alberta Avenue and Winona Drive. 

 

At the direction of City Council, community planning staff conducted a study of the properties zoned Mixed Use District (MCR) on the north side of Davenport Road between Alberta Avenue and Winona Drive.  The purpose of the study was to assess the compatibility of the uses permitted within the MCR zone with the adjacent residential neighbourhood so as to limit nuisances associated with traffic, parking, safety or other adverse impacts.

 

This study recommends amendments to the boundary of the MCR zone and the range of permitted uses.

City Council on April 6, 2009, adopted the following:

 

1.            City Council exempt the applicant at 570 Rogers Road from the former City of York Bylaw 1-83 parking requirement of three parking stalls, subject to a $7,500.00 payment-in-lieu of parking.

1.            City Council exempt the applicant at 570 Rogers Road from the former City of York Bylaw 1-83 parking requirement of three parking stalls, subject to a $7,500.00 payment-in-lieu of parking.

 

2.            City Council require the applicant to sign a Payment-In-Lieu of Parking Agreement with the City, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

This report seeks Council's approval to exempt the applicant from the parking requirement in the former City of York Bylaw 1-83 to provide three additional parking stalls.  Instead of accommodating the parking on-site, the applicant has requested a payment-in-lieu of parking in the amount of $7,500.00 to the City.

 

The parking exemption is considered appropriate since the shortfall in stalls will not have a significant impact on parking conditions in the area.

 

Section 40 of the Planning Act grants Council the authority to approve payment-in-lieu of parking.  This application has been made pursuant to the City’s Payment-In-Lieu Of Parking Policy adopted in July 2004.  City Council approval is required as this matter has not been delegated.

The proposed parking regulation amendments will serve to improve the safe movement of transit patrons utilizing the St. Clair Avenue West Transit Line, facilitate the safe circulation of general traffic and introduce much needed additional on-street parking spaces for merchants on this section of St. Clair Avenue West.

 

Since the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on St. Clair Avenue West, City Council approval of this report is required.  TTC staff has been consulted on the amendments and has not objected to the proposal.

The purpose of this report is to seek further directions from City Council with respect to the hearing.  This is a time sensitive matter as those directions are required prior to the commencement of the hearing.

City Council on April 6, 2009, adopted the following:

 

1.            City Council direct the City Clerk to advise the Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) that the liquor licence application for the premises at 3212 Weston Road, to operate under the name of Suzy’s Donuts (“Premises”), is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents of the City and that the Registrar should issue a Proposal to Review the liquor licence application.

 

2.            City Council request the AGCO to provide the City with an opportunity to participate in any proceedings with respect to the Premises.

 

3.            City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attend all proceedings before the AGCO in this matter and be directed to take all necessary actions so as to give effect to this Motion, including adding and deleting conditions to any liquor licence issued for the Premises, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, which address issues including, but not limited to, life safety, security personnel, security cameras, lighting, noise and litter.

Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

 

1.            City Council direct the City Clerk to advise the Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) that the liquor licence application for the premises at 3212 Weston Road, to operate under the name of Suzy’s Donuts (“Premises”), is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents of the City and that the Registrar should issue a Proposal to Review the liquor licence application.

 

2.            City Council request the AGCO to provide the City with an opportunity to participate in any proceedings with respect to the Premises.

 

3.            City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attend all proceedings before the AGCO in this matter and be directed to take all necessary actions so as to give effect to this Motion, including adding and deleting conditions to any liquor licence issued for the Premises, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, which address issues including, but not limited to, life safety, security personnel, security cameras, lighting, noise and litter.

Delbe Systems and Technology Inc. has submitted an application for a liquor licence to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (“AGCO”) for the premises at 3212 Weston Road, to operate under the name of Suzy’s Donuts (“Premises”). The applicant is seeking a liquor licence for a capacity of 34 for the main floor and 40 for the basement.

 

There are concerns expressed by the residents in the community that a liquor licence is being applied for a doughnut shop with a capacity for 74 patrons, 40 of them in the basement. Issues such as life safety, security personnel, security cameras, crowd control, lighting, noise and litter, among other issues, must be addressed. The Registrar of the AGCO should be requested to issue a Proposal to Review the liquor licence application. This application for a liquor licence is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents of the City unless certain conditions, addressing the concerns of the community, are attached to the licence. Under no circumstance should this applicant be granted a liquor licence without conditions attached.  

City Council on April 6, 2009, adopted the following:

 

1.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor, and appropriate City staff to, to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing in support of the new Site Plan Application, and revised Zoning By-law Amendment, filed by Habitat for Humanity, subject to the form and content of the zoning by-law amendment, the conditions of site plan approval and the timing for the issuance of the OMB order all being to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.

EtobicokeYork Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor, and appropriate City staff to, to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing in support of the new Site Plan Application, and revised Zoning By-law Amendment, filed by Habitat for Humanity, subject to the form and content of the zoning by-law amendment, the conditions of site plan approval and the timing for the issuance of the OMB order all being to the satisfaction of the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke York District.

City Council at its meeting on July 25, 26 and 27, 2006, adopted, as amended, Clause 40 of Report 6 of Etobicoke York Community Council, thereby endorsing the Principles of Settlement set out in that report.  Based on those Principles of Settlement, the City Solicitor and Planning staff settled at the Ontario Municipal Board the zoning by-law and site plan appeals for a proposed stacked townhouse development at 1500 Weston Road.   The Board’s order on both the zoning appeal and the site plan approval appeal were withheld by the Board pending the entering into of a Section 37 Agreement  and the satisfaction of the conditions of site plan approval.  The Board’s order has never been issued since the agreement has not been entered into and the site plan conditions have not been satisfied.

 

On October 31, 2008, the new owner of the lands, Habitat for Humanity, filed a Site Plan Application showing a new concept and development proposal for the site. Community Planning staff generally support this revised proposal, and will need to present new information to the OMB, to seek modifications to the approval conditions, and implementing zoning by-law, as originally set out by the Board. An appearance before the OMB is being sought for the later part of May, 2009 to settle the revisions to the development and therefore this is a time sensitive matter.

City Council on April 6, 2009, adopted the following:

 

1.            City Council authorize the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, to prepare an agreement for execution by the owner and developer of the unassumed Riverboat Landing Subdivision to amend the existing Subdivision Agreement to permit the exchange of a cash security on deposit with the City with a Letter of Credit to be provided by the developer.

1.            City Council authorize the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, to prepare an agreement for execution by the owner and developer of the unassumed Riverboat Landing Subdivision to amend the existing Subdivision Agreement to permit the exchange of a cash security on deposit with the City with a Letter of Credit to be provided by the developer.

This report seeks authorization to amend an existing Subdivision Agreement commonly known as the Riverboat Landing Subdivision (formerly Charlton Settlement Subdivision) on the west side of Weston Road, northwest of Jane Street in the former City of York.

 

This report recommends that the City Solicitor in consultation with the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, be authorized to prepare an agreement for execution by the owner and developer of the unassumed subdivision to amend the existing Subdivision Agreement to permit the exchange of a cash security on deposit with the city with a Letter of Credit to be provided by the developer.  The letter of Credit will continue to act as a financial security until works required by the Subdivision Agreement are completed to the satisfaction of the City.
