Decision Advice and Other Information |

Origin |
(April 27, 2009) 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 amend the former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86 to permit the development of a 24-storey mixed use building, comprised of approximately 458 dwelling units and retail uses at grade at 352 Front Street West.
The proposal achieves a number of objectives of the King-Spadina planning framework. It replaces a surface parking lot with new residential and commercial uses and provides an important mid-block connection from Front Street West to Clarence Square Park. The proposed height is in keeping with, and provides a transition from, adjacent development. The massing permits good separation between the proposed tower and existing tall buildings. Shadow impacts on Clarence Square Park are limited to the morning hours and are acceptable given the significant public benefit provided by a new mid-block pedestrian connection.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. |

Alternate Sources of Funds - Pedestrian Promenade Plans for Simcoe Street and Lower Jarvis Street |
Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that, subject to funds not being available from Section 37 development monies in 2009 and 2010:
1. the General Manager, Transportation Services be requested to include in the 2010 Transportation Services Capital Budget submission, as part of the Safety and Operations Improvement Programme, the amount of $280,000 for intersection improvements at Lake Shore Boulevard West and Simcoe Street, as approved in the Simcoe Street Pedestrian Promenade Plan; and 2. the General Manager, Transportation Services be requested to include in the 2010 Transportation Services Capital Budget submission, as part of the New Signals Installation Programme, the amount of $120,000 for the installation of a traffic control signal for pedestrians on the westbound on-ramp from Lower Jarvis Street to the Gardiner Expressway. |
Origin |
(April 29, 2009) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
Transportation Services is responding to a request from Toronto and East York Community Council to report on alternative means of funding by the end of 2009 for both intersection improvements at Lake Shore Boulevard West and Lower Simcoe Street as proposed in the Simcoe Street Pedestrian Promenade Plan, and intersection improvements at Lake Shore Boulevard East and Lower Jarvis Street, as proposed in the Lower Jarvis Street Pedestrian Promenade Plan.
If funds are not available from Section 37 monies provided by development for the improvements identified in each of these promenade plans, funds will need to be allocated from the Transportation Services Capital Budget. Since construction of the intersection improvements at the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard West and Lower Simcoe Street is not feasible until 2010, it is possible to include these improvements in the Transportation Services 2010 Capital Budget under the Safety and Operational Improvement Programme. The addition of the pedestrian crosswalk on the west side of the intersection of Lake Shore Boulevard East and Lower Jarvis Street will be accommodated within the Transportation Services 2009 Capital Budget. It is unlikely that the installation of a traffic control signal for pedestrians on the westbound on-ramp from Lower Jarvis Street to the Gardiner Expressway could be completed in 2009, so the funds for this signal could be included in the Transportation Services 2010 Capital Budget for new signal installations. |

Summary |
Transportation Services is recommending modifications to the parking regulations on Atlantic Avenue, south of King Street West to facilitate the safe loading and unloading of passengers at a TTC stop installed on the east side of the road in November 2008. Under existing authority, Transportation Services has signed a transit loading zone (No Standing, Anytime) at this location. This has eliminated about 6 parking spaces on the east side of Atlantic Avenue.
The change has improved the safety for TTC passengers. This report outlines amendments to parking machine/meter parking regulations that require City Council authority to ensure that existing entries in the traffic by-law do not conflict with the changes that have already been made in the field to identify the transit loading zone. |

Transportation Services is seeking authority to permanently relocate parking from the north side to the south side on Britain Street and introduce pay-and-display parking. Britain Street, between George Street and Sherbourne Street, does not currently have a north side sidewalk. Transportation Services has reviewed the feasibility of installing a sidewalk on the north side of Britain Street. In order to accommodate the proposed construction of a sidewalk, the existing commercial boulevard parking spaces on both sides will need to be removed. Permission to cancel commercial boulevard parking licenses is granted as per the former City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 313-39 C(2), upon the General Manager providing 30 days' written notice to the licence holder advising of the pending cancellation of the licence. On-street parking will need to be relocated, from the north side to the south side, in order to provide more on-street parking spaces to offset the loss of boulevard spaces. |

Summary |
This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
Transportation Services is requesting authority to amend the parking regulation in an existing “Student Pick-up/Drop-off Area” on the east side of Givins Street, fronting Givins/Shaw Public School, located at 49 Givins Street.
Parking is currently prohibited within the “Student Pick-up/Drop-off Area” on the east side of Givens Street, after normal school hours, Monday through Friday, and at all times on Saturday and Sunday. This regulation conflicts with the overnight permit parking regulation authorized on this street. Amending the current regulation in the “Student Pick-up/Drop-off Area” will provide 8 additional parking spaces on the street outside of school hours for local residents and their visitors and resolve the conflict with the permit parking regulation. This change has no impact on the operation of the student pick-up/drop-off area during school hours. |

Request for Study Related to Restricting the Operation of Restaurants and Related Uses in the Mixed Commercial Residential Zone on Queen Street West, Between Dovercourt Road and Gladstone Avenue |
Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:
1. City Planning staff, in consultation with Buildings and Municipal Licensing and Standards staff, initiate a study to determine if there is need for amendments to the Zoning By-law or other measures to restrict the operation of restaurants and related uses in the Mixed Commercial Residential Zone on Queen Street West, between Dovercourt Road and Gladstone Avenue in Ward 18.
2. Staff schedule a community consultation meeting together with the Ward Councillor.
3. Notice for the community consultation meeting be given to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the study area.

(May 14, 2009) Letter from Councillor Adam Giambrone, Ward 18, Davenport |
Summary |
The section of Queen Street West between Dovercourt Road andGladstone Avenue (the study area) has experienced an increase in the number of restaurants and related uses (takeout restaurants, patios, places of amusement, clubs) over the past few years. The residential community in the area has raised a number of concerns related to:
- the increasing number and concentration of restaurants and related uses on this section of Queen Street West;
- the impact of restaurant and related uses on residential uses in the area;
- restaurants and related uses operating more like bars where entertainment and alcohol services are the primary activities rather than the service of food; and
- noise, garbage, parking and traffic congestion in the area.
Members of the local community have requested that Planning staff, in consultation with Buildings and Municipal Licensing and Standards staff, initiate a study to determine if there is need for amendments to the Zoning Bylaw or other measures to restrict the operation of restaurants and related uses in the Mixed Commercial Residential Zone on Queen Street West, between Dovercourt Road and Gladstone Avenue in Ward 18.
The study will allow staff the opportunity to complete a review of land use policies regarding these uses in the study area, identify potential changes that could be made to address resident’s concerns, consult with the residents and businesses in the area and if necessary report back to Council with draft amendments to the Zoning By-law. |

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing - 878 Palmerston Avenue |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council direct the City Solicitor to appear at the Ontario Municipal Board with appropriate City Staff or independent consultant(s), if necessary, to support the decision of the Committee of Adjustment refusing the application for 878 Palmerston Avenue. |
Origin |
(May 11, 2009) Letter from Councillor Adam Vaughan, Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
At its hearing on Wednesday, April 8, 2009, the Committee of Adjustment refused an application to legalize and to maintain the converted three-storey dwelling containing four dwelling units, constructed/altered without proper authorization at 878 Palmerston Avenue. (Please find the decision attached.)
This application was strongly opposed by a number of local residents, including the immediate neighbours. A petition in opposition to the application signed by 18 households on the street was submitted to both the Committee of Adjustment and my office.
There are significant concerns from within the neighbourhood with regard to the impact that the addition of four separate units has had on the area. The increased density of the house, which the applicant now wishes to legalize, has led to increased noise and has put pressure on the already limited parking in the neighbourhood. If the illegal rental units are permitted, providing one parking space is not sufficient. Under by-law 438-86, a minimum of three parking spaces are to be provided.
The local neighbourhood is also significantly concerned with the applicant’s previous disregard for City by-laws. A structure at the rear of the property is currently being rented out, without permission, as a dwelling unit complete with two fireplaces and an illegally constructed washroom on the second floor. The permitted use is a workshop (as per Committee of Adjustment approval in 1986). It is another example of the property owner’s disregard for City regulations and the impact that not respecting by-laws can have on the immediate neighbourhood.
Based on how the property has been managed in the past, legalizing the increased density that this multi-unit home would provide has already proven not to be a good fit for the neighbourhood.
The applicant has appealed the decision of the Committee of Adjustment to the Ontario Municipal Board. A hearing date has not yet been set. Authorization is being requested to allow the City Solicitor to attend at the Ontario Municipal Board to support the Committee of Adjustment’s refusal of the application. |

Queen Street East, east of the Don Valley to DeGrassi Street, has been authorized by Council for study as a Heritage Conservation District. It contains many properties with potential heritage value and the process of identifying, researching and evaluating potential heritage properties on this section of Queen Street East for inclusion on the City's heritage inventory should be undertaken.
This will allow staff to monitor the threat of demolition or alteration of potentially significant properties in the area prior to the completion of the heritage conservation district.

College Street Clearway |
Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:
1. All existing café and marketing permits for locations within the College Street Revitalization Project – Pedestrian Clearway Pilot area be renewed for the 2009/2010 season.
2. All new café and marketing permits for locations within the College Street Revitalization Project – Pedestrian Clearway Pilot area be required to comply with the provisions of former City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 313, Section 313-36 J (1) as amended, which requires that all cafés on College Street between Spadina Avenue and Bathurst Street to be only at curb side at a distance of 0.8 metres back of the curb.
3. Municipal Licensing and Standards continue to monitor any curb side operation during the 2009/2010 café and marketing season.
4. The appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto. |

(May 13, 2009) Letter from Councillor Adam Vaughan, Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
With the reconstruction of College Street that began in 2005 the local community in this area developed a vision for an enhanced public realm.
A critical element of this vision is the creation of a pedestrian clearway which will be created by relocating restaurant and café patios to the curb side. This pilot project is limited in scope and would only apply to the portion of College Street between Bathurst to the west to Augusta Avenue on the south east side and Major Street on the north east side.
In order to accomplish this in a way that is fair and sustainable to College Street business operators several changes in Provincial policy are required.
My office has been working with representatives of several ministries and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission on the policy changes required, however we have been advised that these changes cannot come into force until the 2010 patio season. I have attached a letter from Minister McMeekin confirming support for this initiative. |

(May 13, 2009) Member Motion from Councillor Joe Mihevc, Ward 21, St. Paul's |
Summary |
This motion is to request the Toronto and East York Community Council to rescind the 15-day alternate side parking regulations on Marchmount Road, between Davenport Road and Shaw Street, and replace them with Thursday alternate parking regulations.
This section of Marchmount Road was previously Thursday alternate side parking. The majority of Marchmount Road residents want Thursday alternate parking to be reinstated in order to maximize the number of parking spaces available on the street. Reinstating Thursday alternate parking would mean that more days per month parking will be permitted on the side of the road with the higher number of parking spaces available. |

(May 13, 2009) Letter from Councillor Adam Vaughan, Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
City Council enacted By-Law No. 454-2004 at its meeting of May 18, 19 and 20, 2004, which permits the development of the Festival Centre and Tower, a 42-storey mixed-use building to be located at the northwest corner of King Street West and John Street. The Festival Centre and Tower will consist of a 5-storey commercial component (to be occupied by the Toronto International Film Festival), a 37-storey residential tower and a 5-level underground parking facility.
King and John Festival Corporation requested that the Festival Centre and Tower be exempt from Part Lot Control pursuant to Section 50(7) of the Planning Act to facilitate separate ownership of the various components of the development. City Council at its meeting of July 16, 17, 18 and 19, 2007 adopted a motion (TE 7.51) approving the passage of a Part Lot Control Exemption By-Law subject to the terms and conditions including that the By-Law expire on August 31, 2010. As a result of delays in commencing construction not anticipated in 2007 the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law has never been passed. Now it would be timely to pass the By-law and the expiry date should be February 28, 2011. |
