Final Report - Part of 769 Broadview Avenue - Rezoning Application |
Statutory - Planning Act, RSO 1990 |
Origin |
(January 14, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Recommendations |
The City Planning Division recommends that:
1. City Council amend Zoning By-law 438-86 substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment attached as Attachment 5 to the report dated January 14, 2010, from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, headed "Part of 769 Broadview Avenue - Rezoning Application - Final Report."
2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Zoning By-law Amendment as may be required. |
Summary |
This City-initiated amendment is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
The proposal is to rezone a newly completed landscaped parkette at the southeast corner of Broadview Avenue and Erindale Avenue, part of 769 Broadview Avenue.
At its meeting on November 10, 2009, Toronto and East York Community Council directed that a community consultation meeting be scheduled and notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act be given according to the regulations under the Planning Act.
This report reviews and recommends approval to amend the Zoning By-law to rezone the portion of the site adjacent to Broadview Avenue and Erindale Avenue, where the parkette is located, to “G” which will bring the zoning into conformity with the Official Plan. |
Financial Impact |
The City has adopted a strategy to unlock the value of corporate real estate assets by transfer to Build Toronto. By its adoption of EX32.5 on May 26, 27 and 28, 2009, City Council adopted the Principles of a Real Estate Strategy. The Principles state that City real estate is a “corporate” asset that supports municipal functions and purposes of the ABCDs. When any City property becomes available, it will be considered for other ABCD requirements subject to a business case review by the Property Management Committee and sufficient funding by the ABCD. Based on the Principles, ABCDs are required to budget the cost of additional real estate at its fair market value. If this property had not had a long history as a parkette use, it could be of interest for development by Build Toronto as a transit oriented site.
Section 4.3, Policy 8, of the City of Toronto’s Official Plan states “The sale or disposal of publicly owned lands in Parks and Open Space Areas is discouraged and no City owned lands in Parks and Open Space Areas will be sold or disposed of. However, City owned land in Parks and Open Space Areas may be exchanged for other nearby land of equivalent or larger area and comparable or superior green space utility.”
As it is intended to continue as a parkette, Facilities and Real Estate staff advise that the land value will be reduced if rezoned from Mixed-Use to Parkland. The value on the land is estimated to change from $2.1 million to $70,000.
There were no direct financial impacts in 2009 from this action. However in 2010, the new Principles would indicate a requirement to provide for the fair market value of the parcel. Operating costs to Parks, Forestry and Recreation are estimated at $24,300 in 2010 for a partial year and $21,300 in 2011 on a full-year basis.
The Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information. |

On February 15, 2008, the University of Toronto submitted an objection to the notice of intention to designate and the matter was referred to the Conservation Review Board.

The University of Toronto has agreed to withdraw its two objections subject to minor revisions to the original Reasons for Designations (Attachments Nos. 3A and 3B) and their replacement by the Revised Reasons for Designation (Attachments Nos. 4A and 4B).

Preliminary Report - 117 Peter Street and 287 Richmond Street West - Rezoning |
Origin |
(January 20, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Recommendations |
The City Planning Division recommends that:
1. Staff continue to work with the applicant to achieve a height and built form that is consistent with the policies and goals of the King-Spadina Secondary Plan and the King Spadina East Precinct Built Form Study. |
Summary |
This application was made on August 7, 2009 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
This application proposes a 29-storey mixed use building at 117 Peter St. and 287 Richmond Street West, at a height of approximately 98.6 m. The proposal originally included approximately 297 residential units and 171 hotel suites, with a restaurant at grade, however staff understand that the hotel use may not be going forward and that the project may undergo some redesign. Parking for vehicles and bicycles is proposed to be provided in four below-grade levels.
This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted application and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the application.
Staff do not support the application in its current form but would like to work with the applicant to resolve issues. Staff have indicated to the applicant that the height and massing of the proposal is not appropriate in the context of King-Spadina’s policy framework and the goals of preserving heritage fabric and scale. The site is located within the Warehouse District as identified in the recent King Spadina East Precinct Built Form Study, and is not a location appropriate for the proposed height, which exceeds the permitted height by more than 60 metres. In addition to the height, the tower floor plate creates a large building mass that could overwhelm the prevailing built form and heritage context of Richmond and Peter Streets.
A community consultation meeting was held on January 19, 2010.
Staff will seek to work with the applicant to achieve changes that will result in a proposal that is appropriate for the Warehouse District. It is anticipated that a final report for the subject application will be submitted in mid-2010. |

Summary |
The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel on January 1, 2010, closed the on-site taxicab facility in the Motor Court area of the hotel. The Motor Court is located on the west side of the hotel, with access previously provided for taxis from York Street via a driveway between Queen Street West and Richmond Street West. As a result, taxis which typically would have waited on-site for their fares will need to be relocated off the hotel property.
Transportation Services is seeking authority to extend the easterly limit of the existing 2-vehicle taxicab stand, located on the north side of Richmond Street West east of York Street, to provide three additional taxicab spaces. In order to provide 3 additional taxicab spaces, the bus pickup/drop off zone will need to be reduced by 16.5 metres. This change will not impact significantly on bus loading/unloading operations. |
