b.         The owner provide an undertaking to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor in consultation with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division which secures the condition outlined in Recommendation 1.

5.         City Council authorizes the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division to issue a preliminary approval of the application under Municipal Code Chapter 667 after satisfying the conditions in Recommendation 4, and after the Zoning By-law amendments in Recommendation 2 have come into full force and effect.

6.         City Council authorize the Chief Building Official to issue a section 111 permit under Municipal Code Chapter 667 after the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division has given the preliminary approval in Recommendation 5.

7.         City Council authorize the Chief Building Official to issue a permit under Section 33 of the Planning Act no earlier than issuance of the foundation permit for the development, and after the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division has given the preliminary approval in Recommendation 5.  The Section 111 permit may be included in the demolition permit as per section 363-11.1E of the Municipal Code on condition that:

a.         The owner erect a residential building on site no later than three (3) years from the day demolition of the buildings is commenced.

b.         Should the owner fail to complete the new building within the time specified in condition a., the City Clerk shall be entitled to enter on the collector’s roll, to be collected in a like manner as municipal taxes, the sum of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) for each dwelling unit for which a demolition permit is issued, and that each sum shall, until payment, be a lien or charge upon the land for which the demolition permit is issued.

8.         Before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment, City Council authorize the appropriate City officials and require the owner to execute one or more agreements pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act satisfactory to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, and the City Solicitor. Such agreements shall be registered on title to the lands in a manner satisfactory to the City Solicitor, to secure the following matters as a legal convenience to support the development:

i.          As part of the Site Plan Approval process, the owner shall provide 1:50 scale drawings for the first and second storey portions of the east and west elevations with building materials labelled and the drawings having a sufficient level of detail to illustrate how the building will be perceived by pedestrians.  The owner shall incorporate, in the construction of the apartment building, said exterior materials to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division.

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 redevelop the properties at 707-717 Dovercourt Road with a 5 storey condominium containing 75 residential units and two levels of underground parking.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and any other appropriate staff, to oppose the applicant’s appeal respecting the Zoning By-law Amendment application for 224 King Street West (File 09-104390 STE 20 OZ), and attend any Ontario Municipal Board hearings in opposition to such appeal, and retain such experts as the City Solicitor may determine are needed in support of the position recommended in this report.

2.         City Council authorize the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, to secure services, facilities or matters pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, as may be required by the Chief Planner, should the proposal be approved in some form by the Ontario Municipal Board.

3.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor and other City staff to take any necessary steps to implement the foregoing.

This application was made after January 1, 2007 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

The applicant has appealed the Zoning By-law amendment to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council’s failure to make a decision on the application within the time allotted by the Planning Act.

The application proposes a 45-storey tower at 224 King Street West, mid-block within a streetscape of low-scale heritage buildings.  The proposal consists of 200 residential units, commercial uses at grade and 100 below grade parking spaces.

The proposal represents an over-development of the property that is not consistent with the planning policy framework.  Its proposed height exceeds the Zoning By-law permission by approximately 130 m, and is significantly out of scale with its adjacent built form context.  It overwhelms the uniquely intact heritage streetscape within which it is located and does not contribute to a coherent streetwall.  Its approval could set a negative precedent that could fundamentally alter the urban structure of the warehouse and heritage areas within King-Spadina and encourage the erosion of intact heritage streetscapes.  It could also set a negative precedent for approving excessively tall development within areas that have been studied and found to be unsuitable for significant height.

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council’s direction for the City Solicitor, together with Planning and appropriate City staff, to oppose the proposal at the OMB.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor, the Chief Planner and Executive Director, and other appropriate staff to attend any Ontario Municipal Board hearing in opposition to the revised proposal for 102 Shuter Street.

2.         City Council authorize Planning staff, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, to determine an appropriate cash contribution and package of community benefits pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, should the proposal be approved in some form by the Ontario Municipal Board.

The applicant has appealed the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) due to Council’s failure to make a decision within the time allotted by the Planning Act.  Pre-hearing conferences were held on September 28, 2009 and December 17, 2009.  An additional pre-hearing conference is set for April 15 and 16, 2010 and a hearing is set to commence on May 17, 2010 for a period of 3 weeks.

At its meeting on October 13, 2009, Toronto and East York Community Council (TEYCC) adopted the recommendations outlined in the staff Request for Direction Report dated August 25, 2009, which had been deferred from the September 15, 2009 TEYCC, recommending the City Solicitor, Chief Planner and Executive Director, and other appropriate staff attend the OMB in opposition to the proposal.  The proposed 20-storey residential apartment building represented an inappropriate intensification of a site in a Neighbourhoods designation resulting in light, view, privacy and other impacts.

The purpose of this supplementary report is to provide comment on the revised proposal formally submitted to the City on December 18, 2009, as a settlement offer for matters before the Ontario Municipal Board. 

Planning staff conclude that the revised 16-storey proposal does not address the reasons for refusal identified in the Request for Direction Report dated August 25, 2009 and do not recommend the settlement offer.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 19 Dundas Square (Hermant Building, 1913) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

2.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 21 Dundas Square (Hermant Building, 1929) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

3.         If there are no objections to the proposed designations in accordance with Section 29(6) of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the solicitor to introduce the Bills in Council designating the properties 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 Clerk to refer the proposed designations to the Conservation Review Board.

5.         City Council grant authority for the execution of Heritage Easement Agreements under Section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act with the owner of the properties at 19 and 21 Dundas Square (Hermant Buildings, 1913 and 1929).

6.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary Bill in Council authorizing the entering into of the Heritage Easement Agreements.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 19 and 21 Dundas Square (Hermant Buildings, 1913 and 1929) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and grant authority to enter into Heritage Easement Agreements.  The properties were listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in 1990.

At its meeting of November 30, December 1, 2, 4 and 7, 2009, City Council approved a rezoning application for the properties at 252-258 Victoria Street and 19 and 21 Dundas Square that allows the development of part of the site with a 35-storey office/residential building.   The proposal involves the demolition of the Hermant Annex located at 258 Victoria Street, which is listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties. The owner has agreed to the designation of the Dundas Square properties and to enter into Heritage Easement Agreements with the City of Toronto for each of the sites.

There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report.  The public Notice of Intention to Designate will be advertised on the City’s web site in accordance with the City of Toronto Act provisions.

1.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 19 Dundas Square (Hermant Building, 1913) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

2.         City Council state its intention to designate the property at 21 Dundas Square (Hermant Building, 1929) 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 Clerk to refer the proposed designations to the Conservation Review Board.

5.         City Council grant authority for the execution of Heritage Easement Agreements under Section 37 of the Ontario Heritage Act with the owner of the properties at 19 and 21 Dundas Square (Hermant Buildings, 1913 and 1929).

6.         City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary Bill in Council authorizing the entering into of the Heritage Easement Agreements.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.         City Council direct City staff to proceed with negotiations with the necessary property owners to create a public lane system to the east and west of 9 Hanna Avenue, including the extinguishing of certain existing property interests where necessary.

2.         City Council require that the lands being conveyed to the City as part of the development approval for 5 Hanna Avenue conform with the City’s requirements for environmental remediation and construction to public lane standards.

3.         City Council request staff to report back to the Toronto and East York Community Council by June 22, 2010, on the results of the negotiations.

This report recommends that City staff be directed to proceed with negotiations with the necessary property owners for the acquisition of the lands and the extinguishing of certain property interests required to create a public lane system to the east and west of the Toronto Police Services facility at 9 Hanna Avenue and to report back on the results of those negotiations.

The purpose of this staff report is to seek City Council approval of the 76 and 100 Davenport Road – The Florian - Public Art Plan.  The plan has been prepared by the Owner and the Public Art Consultant in compliance with the development approval provisions.  The plan, which is included as Attachment 1 of this report, outlines the method by which the Owner will commission public art in the publicly accessible area of the development.

The 76 and 100 Davenport Road – The Florian - Public Art Plan provides a framework for the commission in the proposed location in the area closest to Davenport Road, a publicly visible and accessible site.  The attached plan meets the objectives of the City Planning Percent for the Public Art Program and is supported by the Toronto Public Art Commission.

There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report.

The General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division recommends that Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.         Name the parkette located at 107 Crescent Road, “Alex Murray Parkette” in honour of Mr. Murray’s significant contributions to the South Rosedale community and the City of Toronto.

This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

This report responds to the request made at Toronto and East York Community Council (TE28.59) at its October 13, 2009 meeting, regarding the naming of the parkette situated at 107 Crescent Road in honour of Alex Murray, a forty-year board member of the South Rosedale Ratepayers Association.

The Parks, Forestry, and Recreation staff is recommending that the parkette situated at 107 Crescent Road be officially named “Alex Murray Parkette” in honour of Mr. Murray’s significant contributions to the South Rosedale community and the City of Toronto.

Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff have exercised due diligence in ensuring that all criteria in the Naming and Renaming for Parks and Recreation Facilities and Parks Policy have been met.

That Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.         Authorize a public competition to select the best name for the new park in the East Bayfront neighbourhood, located on the north and south sides of Queens Quay Boulevard, just east of Lower Sherbourne Street, with the judging criteria respecting the City's parameters for naming parks.

2.         Direct the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation to report to Toronto and East York Community Council for authority to formally name the new park, once the public votes for a recommended name from the approved short-list.

When “Sherbourne Park”, the spectacular new waterfront park, opens this summer it will transform a formerly industrial area into a much needed public greenspace on the lake. Located just east of Lower Sherbourne Street, this 1.5 hectare park spans more than two city blocks, from Lake Ontario in the south to Lake Shore Boulevard. in the north, on both sides of Queens Quay. Designed by renowned landscape architects Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg, in association with The Planning Partnership, and inspired by the iconic Canadian lakeside experience, this year-round park will become the heart of the new East Bayfront waterfront community.

Sherbourne Park was selected as a “working name” for the park during design/construction because of its location at the foot of Lower Sherbourne Street. In keeping with Waterfront Toronto’s mandate to encourage public involvement in the revitalization of the waterfront, it is proposed that a park name be chosen through a public competition process. The goal is to select a name that reflects the park’s unique setting on Toronto’s waterfront in the heart of what will become one of Canada’s newest, most technologically advanced and sustainable communities.

The competition, which will be carried out in association with online newspaper “Torontoist”, will feature two key components: an online submissions period followed by a public voting process. A selection committee representing the City, Waterfront Toronto, Torontoist and a variety of key stakeholders will be established to vet the publicly submitted park names prior to the voting period. Their deliberations would respect the City's parameters for naming parks and would result in a short-list of five to ten suitable park names. At that point, the public will have an opportunity to select a final park name (from the approved short-list) during the online voting period. Formal approval of the selected park name would then be sought from the Toronto and East York Community Council.

Transportation Services recommends that Toronto and East York Community Council:

1.         Approve the installation of the decorative sidewalks with granite pavers fronting 330 King Street West and decorative driveway and sidewalks with granite pavers on the John Street flank fronting the entrances to Festival Tower, subject to the owners entering into an encroachment agreement with the City of Toronto, agreeing to but not limited to the following:

a.         indemnify the City from and against all actions, suits, claims or demands and from loss, costs, damages and expenses that may result from such permission granted and providing an insurance policy for such liability for the lifetime of the Agreement in a form as approved by the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer and in an amount not less than $2,000,000 or such greater amount as the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer may require;

e.         pay for the costs of preparing the Agreement and the registration of the Agreement on title;

g.         accept such additional conditions as the City Solicitor or the General Manager of Transportation Services may deem necessary in the interest of the City.

2.         In the event of sale or transfer of the property abutting the encroachment, Legal Services and/or the General Manager of Transportation Services be authorized to extend the Encroachment Agreement to the new owner, subject to the approval of the General Manager of Transportation Services.

3.         Request Legal Services to prepare and execute the Encroachment Agreement.

This staff report is regarding a matter which the Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

Transportation Services has assessed an application from the agent of the owners of 330 King Street West, King and John Festival Corporation, to install decorative sidewalks with granite pavers fronting 330 King Street West and decorative driveway and sidewalks with granite pavers on the John Street flank.

As the installation and maintenance of the granite pavers do not impact negatively on the public right of way, Transportation Services recommends approval of the encroachment.

There is no financial impact to the City as a result of this report.  The cost of construction and ongoing maintenance of the granite pavers will be borne by the property owners.

The General Manager, Transportation Services and the Chief Corporate Officer recommend that:

1.         City Council permanently close the public lane extending southerly from Adelaide Street West abutting the East Limit of 295 Adelaide Street West, shown as Parts 1 and 2 on Sketch No. PS-2010-002 (the “Lane”) attached as Appendix B to the report dated February 17, 2010, from the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Chief Corporate Officer, subject to compliance with the requirements of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 162.

5.         City Council authorize each of the Chief Corporate Officer and the Director of Real Estate Services severally to accept the Offer to Purchase on behalf of the City.
