This application proposes to remove a Holding Provision (H) in the zoning by-law on a portion of the University of Toronto’s Scarborough Campus lands at 1049 Military Trail at Ellesmere Road, which would enable the development of a new institutional building having a total floor area of approximately 14,000 square metres (150,700 square feet) at the University of Toronto, Scarborough Campus.  The proposed building would comply with the underlying Institutional “I” zoning on the subject lands following the removal of the Holding Provision (H).  This building is intended to be used as an instructional centre providing lecture hall, classroom and office space for students and faculty. 

 

This is a time sensitive project, as funding for the project is through the Federal Knowledge Infrastructure Program, grants for which have limited time frames. 

 

The applicant has provided the necessary reports addressing matters such as servicing, transportation, environmental studies including subsurface investigations, storm and ground water management.  These reports have been reviewed by appropriate City staff.

 

The majority of the supporting studies provided by the applicant address only the proposed instructional centre, sited in close proximity to the Military Trail and Ellesmere Road intersection.  Consequently, staff are recommending removal of the Holding Provision (H) on only those lands upon which the proposed building is to be constructed, which represents a total land area of approximately 1.1 hectare (2.7 acres) of the northwest corner of Military Trail and Ellesmere Road.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the zoning by-law, subject to an environmental peer review which must be completed before the amending zoning by-law bill may be enacted by City Council.

On May 6, 2009 Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, on behalf of the Governing Council of the University of Toronto, applied for a zoning application on a portion of the University of Toronto’s Scarborough Campus lands at 1049 Military Trail at Ellesmere Road, to remove the Holding (‘H’) Provision on the lands. 

 

Removing the Holding Provision on these lands would enable the development of a new institutional building for the University approximately 14,000 square metres in size, to be used as an instructional centre providing lecture hall, classroom and office space for students and faculty. 

 

This is a time sensitive project, as funding for the project is through the Federal Knowledge Infrastructure Program, grants for which have limited time frames. 

 

The applicant has provided the necessary reports addressing matters such as servicing, transportation, environmental studies including subsurface investigations, storm and ground water management.  These reports must be satisfactory to the City before the Holding Provision can be removed.  The reports are currently being reviewed by the appropriate City staff. 

 

In the event that the reports are satisfactory to City staff, the Final Report recommending the removal of the Holding Provision will be submitted to the June 9, 2009 Scarborough Community Council meeting.

Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council approve the proposed 136 square metre addition to the McGregor Community Centre as generally indicated on the proposed site plan, building elevations and floor plan drawings included as Attachments 1 to 3 to the report (June 2, 2009) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District.

This application proposes a zoning by-law amendment to delete the zoning performance standard which limits the retail sale of food to a maximum of 700 square metres in any retail store at 1966 – 1972 Eglinton Avenue East.

 

The zoning by-law amendment requested by the applicant for the existing commercial development is consistent with the Mixed Use Area policies of the City’s Official Plan and Site Specific Policy Number 129, which permits retail and service uses, including stand-alone retail stores and/or “power centres.”  The existing development is also compatible with the surrounding land uses in the Golden Mile Employment District.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Golden Mile Employment Districts Zoning By-law No. 24982.

Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council amend the Official Plan substantially in accordance with the draft official plan amendment attached as Attachment 8 to the report (May 22, 2009) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District.

6.         The Zoning By-law shall provide for a minimum setback from Eglinton Avenue East of 3.0 metres.

 

7.         A temporary sales office for the sale of residential dwelling units contemplated by the By-law is permitted without parking or building setback restrictions for the purpose of selling residential units.

 

8.         Under the Section 37 Section, Performance Standard 380, add the words "increased by the Construction Price Index" so section (b) now reads as follows:

 

'(b)       The owner of the lands shall enter into one or more agreements with the City of Toronto, increased by the Construction Price Index, provided pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, RSO 1990, c.P 13, as amended, to secure the facilities, services and matters referred to in Section (a), which agreement shall be registered as a first charge on title to the lands to which this By-law applies.'

The Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 9, 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.

 

Rezoning, official plan amendment and plan of subdivision applications have been submitted to permit the comprehensive redevelopment of the Markington Square shopping centre.

 

The applications seek approval for the redevelopment of 3.2 hectares (7.9 acres) of the total 6.8 hectare (16.8 acre) site for a phased mixed use project comprised of 1,057 residential units in seven condominium apartment buildings with 5,486 square metres (59,052 square feet) of retail uses at grade along the Eglinton Avenue and Kingston Road frontages, a public park and a public street system running south from Eglinton Avenue, then southeast connecting with Kingston Road.  The existing Dominion Food Store and Beer Store would remain on adjacent lands to the west.  Altogether, 97,726 square metres (1,051,948 square feet) of residential gross floor area are proposed in the seven condominium apartments, which include 3 buildings in the 7 to 9-storey range, two point towers of 18 storeys and two point towers of 21 storeys.   It is anticipated that the project will be built out over a period of 10-15 years.  The purpose of the official plan amendment is to establish a new public road and establish that the first priority for Section 37 for this large site is community space and not affordable housing.

 

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and zoning by-law.   The development consists of a master planned mixed use neighbourhood with both retail and residential uses in three phases within an area that has sufficient infrastructure.  The proposal  achieves a number of city goals and objectives.  Staff conclude that the proposal represents an appropriate balance between intensification of a site and respect for the local context.  Community improvements will flow from the project, such as the provision of a new park, improvements to it, and contributions towards improvement to the local community centre.  Further, the development will add to the vitality of the immediate quadrant bounded by Eglinton Avenue East, Kingston Road and Markham Road as a mixed use area. 

 

This report also advises that the Chief Planner may approve the draft plan of subdivision.

Scarborough Community Council recommends that:

 

1.         City Council amend the zoning by-law for the Cliffcrest Community substantially in accordance with the draft zoning by-law amendment attached as Attachment 7 to the report (May 20, 2009) from the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District.

b.         secure consent for the shared access between the subject lands and 3744 St. Clair Avenue East to the City Solicitor’s satisfaction.

The Scarborough Community Council adopted the following motion of condolence:

 

The Chair and Members of Scarborough Community Council are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Peter Zezel on May 26, 2009.

 

Peter Zezel was born in Scarborough where he started playing hockey for Don Mills Flyers at the age of 14  and then began his junior hockey career by playing for the Toronto Marlboros. At the age of 18 Peter was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers where he set a rookie record for assists in the 1984-85 season.

 

Peter Zezel was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1991, where he played until 1994.  When Peter retired from the NHL after a successful 16 year career, he came back to his hometown Toronto where he coached AAA hockey in the Greater Toronto Hockey League for the Don Mills Flyers. In addition to coaching the Don Mills Flyers, Peter ran combination hockey, soccer and golf camps.

 

The following statement by Peter’s former teammate Bob McGill best exemplifies his caring nature;

“When it came to charity work, if anybody called him to do anything, he was there to do it. That’s how he was in hockey too. He’d do whatever was needed.”

 

The City Clerk is requested to convey, on behalf of the Members of Scarborough Community Council, our sincere sympathy to Peter Zezel’s father Peter Sr., his mother Valerie and sister Neda.
