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 vehicles parked on south side of Lawrence Avenue East, to the immediate east of Port Union Road. This activity restricts the flow of traffic and interferes with transit operations.

In addition the area residents have expressed their support for the no stopping regulations through the councillor’s office. |

Committee Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on January 12, 2010, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.
The Scarborough Community Council directed that Attachment 3 - Draft Zoning By-law be replaced with the revised Attachment 3 - Draft Zoning By-law, distributed during the meeting. |
Origin |
(December 16, 2009) Report from 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, R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13, as amended, and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
This report recommends amendments to the official plan (Attachment 2) and zoning by-law (Attachment 3), urban design guidelines (Attachment 6) and a draft streetscape improvement plan (Attachments 7 to 10) to implement the objective of revitalizing and enhancing the Kingston Road corridor in the Birch Cliff Community as endorsed by City Council during Phase 2 of this Study in July 2008. This will result in a vibrant, mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented main street with beautiful streetscapes, high quality architecture, compatible development and economic prosperity.
The proposed zoning by-law introduces a Commercial-Residential (CR) Zone providing for a wide range of commercial and residential uses with provisions that will regulate height, density, building setbacks, Section 37 community benefit contributions and bicycle parking standards. Allowable heights within the Community-Residential (CR) Zone will range from a minimum of 2 storeys to a maximum of 8 storeys depending on the location and surrounding context of the properties. A 45 degree angular plane measured from adjacent low density residential neighbourhoods will be applied in order to achieve an appropriate height transition from these areas.
The proposed amendment to the Official Plan will redesignate the north-east corner of Fallingbrook Drive and Kingston Road, known municipally as 155 Fallingbrook Road and 1212 to 1238 Kingston Road from “Neighbourhoods” to “Mixed Use Areas”. The Official Plan amendment will also enable the City to secure hard landscaping where necessary to secure a wider pedestrian corridor along Kingston Road. Staff also recommend that four properties located at 211 Victoria Park Avenue, 1316, 1318 and 1320 Kingston Road be subject to site plan control.
The proposed urban design guidelines and streetscape improvement plan support Council’s direction to invest in a better quality of life within the study area by also providing a safe and attractive public realm that provides for stimulating live, work and retail environments that will increase local pride and interest in this community. |
