3.         If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with Section 29(6) of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the bills in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

4.         If there are objections in accordance with Section 29(7) of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the designation to the Conservation Review Board.

7.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill in Council authorizing the entering into of a Heritage Easement Agreement.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 3180 Bathurst Street (Asbury and West United Church, 1958) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and to authorize the entering into of a Heritage Easement Agreement between the City and the property owners.

The property at 3180 Bathurst Street, which is located on the southwest corner of Saranac Boulevard, north of Lawrence Avenue West, contains Asbury and West United Church, a church complex incorporating an 1899 church with additions dating to the 1950s.

The property is the subject of a rezoning application that proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to allow the construction of a 13-storey residential building with commercial uses at grade and underground parking.  The current proposal, revised in May 2010, incorporates the 1958 sanctuary of the church into the proposed development.  To refuse the demolition of the heritage attributes of the property, City Council must state its intention to designate the site under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

The Toronto Preservation Board on July 29, 2010, considered the following:

1.         Report (July 9, 2010) from the Acting Director, Policy and Research, City Planning, respecting 3180 Bathurst Street – Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and Authority to Enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement.

2.         Communication (July 28, 2010) from Alan McKenzie, Chair, Project Implementation Committee, Asbury and West United Church.

North York Community Council recommends that:

1.         City Council receive the report (July 29, 2010) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.

2.         City Council support, in principle, the proposed 13 storey development, at 3180 Bathurst Street, as submitted to the City on May 14, 2010.

3.         City Council direct City Staff to schedule a Statutory Public Meeting for this proposal, and to prepare a draft zoning by-law implementing the proposal at 3180 Bathurst Street.

4.         City Council direct the Director, Community Planning, North York District, to meet with the applicant and the local Councillor to develop the specific conditions required to implement the proposal at 3180 Bathurst Street.

5.         City Council direct that the City Transit Pass Policy be applied to this site.

6.         City Council direct that the construction schedule include a plan to accommodate the operation of the daycare centre during the construction period.

This application was submitted on September 17, 2009 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law for 3180 Bathurst Street to allow for a 13 storey (42.15 m) building with 349 residential units and a small commercial space at grade fronting Bathurst Street. A total of 28,251 m2 of residential gross floor area is proposed with 126 m2 of commercial gross floor area and 2,000 m2 of gross floor area associated with the retained place of worship building. The proposed gross site density is 4.2 times the area of the lot.

This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Zoning By-law in its current form for the following reasons:

-           The scale and massing of the proposed residential building is inappropriate given the site and area context;

-           The application represents an inappropriate level of intensification for the site; and

-           The development could establish a negative precedent for future development along the Avenue.

City Planning is supportive of the retention of the 1958 portion of the Asbury and West United Church located on the northern portion of the site. City Planning would be supportive of a redevelopment of the site that respects the existing and planned context in the area as set out in this report.

North York Community Council recommends that:

1.         City Council direct the City’s Legal Division to introduce the appropriate “Road Alterations By-laws” to permit the reconfiguration of the roadways as illustrated on Attachment 1 to the report (July 29, 2010) from the Director, Transportation Services Division, North York District.

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Keele Street and Finch Avenue West, City Council approval of this report is required.

To obtain approval for the enactment of the appropriate Road Alteration By-laws to facilitate the following construction/road improvements:

-           Construction of  a new public roadway connection, east of Keele Street opposite Murray Ross Parkway;

-           The removal of the cul-de-sac at the north end of Tangiers Road and subsequent extension of Tangiers Road north to the new east/west roadway connecting to Keele Street;

-           Reconfiguration of the existing westbound right turn lane and curb radius at the intersection of  Finch Avenue West and Tangiers Road; and

-           Reconfiguration/enlargement of the existing intersection, specifically the curb radius on the northwest and northeast corners of Tangiers Road and Toro Road.

The proposed intersection reconfiguration and construction of the above-noted improvements will ensure that the construction traffic control management plans that have been developed for the construction of the Finch West Station will be effective in controlling traffic in this area.  Specifically, the northerly extension of Tangiers Road and easterly extension of Murray Ross Parkway will provide an alternate connection to Keele Street, north of Finch Avenue West.  Not only will these roadway extensions provide an essential road link during construction, but also after the subway construction is complete.

North York Community Council recommends that:

1.         City Council rescind the existing pedestrian crossing prohibition on Alness Street, from a point 30.5 metres south of the south curb line of the York University Busway (Finch Hydro Corridor) to a point 30.5 metres north of the north curb line of the York University  Busway (Finch Hydro Corridor).

To obtain approval to rescind the existing by-law prohibiting the east/west pedestrian crossings at this intersection and to amend the by-law to permit pedestrian crossings on the north leg of the intersection.

The amendment to the above noted pedestrian crossing restrictions will facilitate the implementation of a pedestrian crossing and cycling crossing area on the north leg of the intersection in conjunction with the construction of the multi-use path along the Finch Hydro Corridor from Norfinch Drive to Yonge Street.

3.         City Council grant authorization for a public art installation to be affixed to the pedestrian bridge, which crosses Dufferin Street, south of Roselawn Avenue, including, if necessary, advertising, if funds are required to support the rehabilitation of the pedestrian bridge.

North York Community Council:

North York Community Council recommends that:

1.         City Council request the Executive Director, Facilities Management to:

a.         clean the "Birds in Flight" public art display at the North York Civic Centre;

b.         clean the wall hanging on the lower level in front of the elevator doors at the North York Civic Centre; and

c.         replace the carpeting in the North York Civic Centre wedding chapel and to take appropriate action to make it less funereal.

Once again the North York Civic Centre is suffering from a lack of basic maintenance.  The “Birds in Flight” mobile that hangs in the elevator foyer has not been cleaned for many years.  Public Art, once installed needs to be maintained.  The wall hanging on the Lower Level in front of the elevators looks like it has never been cleaned.  $967,100 is being spent to renovate the Toronto City Hall wedding chapel and yet only superficial maintenance has been done on the North York Chapel.  Frankly it looks more like a place to get buried than a place to get married.  (Perhaps some don’t see the distinction.)
