Origin |
(October 21, 2009) Report from Director, Transportation Services, Scarborough District |
Summary |
This staff report is about a matter for which the Community Council does not have delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
This report responds to a concern about lack of parking regulations and Pay and Display machines on the north side of Danforth Avenue in front of the church at 3150 Danforth Avenue. Staff has confirmed the need for parking regulations in order to prevent free parking in front of the church. Patrons of the church do not have access to church frontage on 3150 Danforth Avenue for parking purposes. Adjacent sections of Danforth Avenue are regulated by Pay and Display parking regulations; therefore patrons of the commercial area seeking to avoid paying for parking are attracted to this non-regulated area for periods exceeding 1 hour or more.
It is recommended that Transportation Services install “No Standing” corner restrictions at Danforth Avenue at St. Dunstan Drive and at Madelaine Avenue. The “No Standing” corner restrictions are recommended to ensure appropriate sight lines are maintained in particular for vehicles exiting the church parking lot located just west of Madelaine Avenue.
In addition, Transportation staff, recommend the installation of 1 hour maximum Pay and Display parking, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday. Transportation Services is seeking approval to install on-street Metered Parking using “Pay and Display” Parking Machines on the north side of Danforth Avenue in front of the church at 3150 Danforth Avenue. |

(October 16, 2009) Report from Director, Policy and Research, and Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District |
Summary |
These City-initiated official plan and zoning by-law amendments are subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
This report summarizes and contains recommendations to implement the Avenue Study for the portion of Kingston Road between Danforth Avenue and Chine Drive. City staff, the Ward Councillor, the City’s consultants, and members of the local community have worked together to put forward an implementation framework for new development and the improvement of the public realm on this portion of Kingston Road. To implement this Avenue Study, the report recommends approval of amendments to the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law as shown on Attachments 3 and 4. The report also recommends adoption of Urban Design Guidelines and outlines implementation strategies to achieve over time the revitalization of Kingston Road between Danforth Avenue to east of Midland Avenue (Chine Drive).
The proposed Official Plan Amendment identifies potential locations for new streets, lanes and lane/street widenings.
The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment deletes the current Highway Commercial (HC), Neighbourhood Commercial (NC), Community Commercial (CC), and Apartment Residential (A) zoning and replaces it with a Commercial-Residential (CR) Zone which permits a mixture of commercial, residential and institutional uses. Standards regulating height, density, building setbacks, bicycle parking standards and Section 37 community benefit provisions are established in the proposed zoning by-law. Permitted heights within the Commercial-Residential Zone vary from a minimum of 3 storeys to a maximum of 8 or 11 storeys, along with the application of a 45 degree angular plane from adjacent low density residential areas to ensure an appropriate height transition from existing neighbourhoods. |
