(February 16, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
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. |

(March 8, 2010) Report from Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
The application proposes a 45-storey tower at 224 King Street West.

102 Shuter Street - Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning Application - Supplementary Report on Settlement Offer |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council forwards this item to Council without recommendation. |
Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Toronto and East York Community Council considered the following recommendations contained in the report (February 16, 2010) from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District:
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.

Origin |
(February 16, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
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. |

East Bayfront Sherbourne Park Naming Competition |
Committee Decision |
That Toronto and East York Community Council:
1. Authorized 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.

Origin |
(February 19, 2010) Letter from Councillor Pam McConnell, Ward 28, Toronto Centre-Rosedale |
Summary |
When “Sherbourne Park”, the spectacular new waterfront park, opens this summer it will transform a former 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. |

Request for Report on Designating the Section of Dundas Street West Between Shaw Street and Ossington Avenue "Frank Alvarez Way" |
Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council requested the City Surveyor, in consultation with Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District, to report to its meeting to be held on the April 27, 2010, on designating the section of Dundas Street West between Shaw Street and Ossington Avenue as “Frank Alvarez Way”. |
Origin |
(February 23, 2010) Letter from Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone, Ward 19, Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
In 2011, CIRV FM, a radio station servicing the Portuguese-Canadian community in Ontario and located at 1087 Dundas Street West (between Shaw Street and Ossington Avenue), will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary. On this occasion, the community would like to honour the contributions of one of our foremost leaders by having the section of Dundas Street West between Shaw Street and Ossington Avenue designated “Frank Alvarez Way”.
Frank Alvarez is an outstanding Torontonian and is the President and CEO of CIRV RADIO 88.9FM radio. His impressive contribution to the Portuguese Canadian community includes positions such as Executive Director and Founder of the Canada-Portugal Chamber of Commerce and President of the Federation of Portuguese Canadian Business and Professionals. In 1998, he was awarded the Order of Portugal and in 1999, Mayor Mel Lastman granted him the Key to the City of Toronto.
The Portuguese community is the largest cultural group in Ward 19 and the area surrounding Dundas Street West and Ossington Avenue has been central to the community for many years.
Considering Mr. Alvarez’ contribution to the City’s multicultural and business communities, I very strongly believe it is most appropriate that he be recognized by designating the section of Dundas Street West between Shaw Street and Ossington Avenue “Frank Alvarez Way”. |

St. Clair Avenue West Hydrant Relocation |
Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council directed that:
1. Transportation Services and Toronto Water work with the Toronto Parking Authority to identify mid-block hydrants that can be moved to corners on St. Clair Avenue West from Bathurst Street to Winona Drive in order to maximize on street public parking, and that a report on the matter be submitted to the May 25, 2010, meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council, including a strategy to fund and complete the work required. |
Origin |
(March 2, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Joe Mihevc, Ward 21, St. Pauls |
Summary |
The businesses along the length of St. Clair Avenue West articulated very clearly during the St. Clair Transit Improvement EA that preserving and maximizing on street public parking was an important objective. They were, furthermore, given clear assurances that their request would be honoured. The key strategy to implement this objective was to move the hydrants where possible from mid-block locations to corners where parking was prohibited.
During the design plans of the projects, City engineers further reassured shareholders that hydrants were going to be moved. It was a surprise to all that when construction started in April 2009 that only a few hydrants were moved. As the Councillor for the section of St. Clair between Bathurst and Winona, and after several mediations with senior staff at the City, I can report that a couple of hydrants were moved to the corners.
Most recently, construction deficiencies in front of 566 St. Clair require the sidewalk to be replaced. Coincidentally, this is a location where a mid-block hydrant exists. With the removal of the sidewalk from 566 to 570 St. Clair, it would be relatively easy for the hydrants to be shifted to the end of the block in front of 570 St. Clair.
I should note that in September 2009, TEYCC passed my motion (delegated) requesting a report on the relocation of this particular hydrant in front of 566 St. Clair. I requested the report to determine if payment in lieu of parking at a nearby site could be used to pay for the relocation, and if not, to identify the source of funding. To date, Transportation Services has not brought forward a report.
Technical Services and Transportation staff need to be directed to fix the problem that they have refused to address. This motion requests information with a view to correct a deficiency that has not been addressed and appears not to have the attention of appropriate City staff. |

Ontario Municipal Board Hearing - 19 Humewood Drive |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing in support of the refusal of the variances 1, 2, 4 and 5, contained in the Notice of Decision from the Committee of Adjustment regarding 19 Humewood Drive, Toronto. |
Origin |
(March 8, 2010) Member Motion from Councillor Adam Vaughan, Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
On January 27, 2010, the Toronto and East York Panel of the Committee of Adjustment refused a number of minor variances with respect to legalizing habitable space with a sink, toilet and shower above a detached garage at 19 Humewood Drive, which was constructed without the proper approvals. The applicant has appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, although no hearing date has been set.
Community Planning wrote a report to the Committee of Adjustment in opposition to this application because the proposed habitable use of the second storey in an accessory building is contrary to the zoning by-law and Official Plan. Further, Community Planning believed allowing habitable space in an accessory building would set a negative precedent in the area.
Community Planning did provide the applicant with preliminary comments and recommended the sink, toilet and shower be removed, however, the applicant did not make the suggested changes.
This motion is made to authorize the City Solicitor to attend the OMB hearing to oppose the appeal and uphold Community Planning's recommendation and the Committee of Adjustment's decision. |

Renaming of Cecil Street Parkette to Julius Deutsch Park |
Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council:
1. Directed the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to report to the Toronto and East York Community Council on renaming Cecil Street Parkette as Julius Deutsch Park. |
Origin |
(March 8, 2010) Letter from Councillor Adam Vaughan, Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina |
Summary |
Julius Deutsch, a dedicated leader and well-respected champion of many progressive causes in our City, died on February 5, 2010.
Leaving the memorial for Julius that was held at the Steelworkers Hall on Cecil Street, a small green spot on the street outside caught my eye and my imagination. Julius' spirit and commitment to social justice deserves to live on and be noted in a permanent way.
There is a park located at the corner of Cecil Street and Huron in Ward 20. It is a small strip park that runs along Cecil towards and across from the Steelworkers Hall. The park sits in front of a Toronto Hydro sub-station and is on the same street as an old synagogue, a Polish Combatants Hall, and homes that have provided offices for many of this City's most progressive social movements.
This year the park will be rebuilt and new adult exercise equipment is being installed to create a green space in the neighbourhood where folks can work out. It currently is called the Cecil Street Parkette. It is named for the street for no particular reason.
The composition of the site speaks to many facets of Julius' life, and a plaque that tells his story and his contribution to Toronto's story would be appropriate and a welcome part of the naming honour. |
