Final Report - 38 Abell Street (formerly known as 150 Sudbury Street) - City Initiated Official Plan Amendment to Allow Condominium-Registered Rental Units |
Statutory - Planning Act, RSO 1990 |
Committee Recommendations |
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council amend the Official Plan for the lands at 38 Abell Street substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment attached as Attachment No. 1 to the report dated May 26, 2010 from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.
2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Official Plan Amendment referred to in Recommendation 1 above, as may be required. |
Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 22, 2010, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act. |
Origin |
(May 26, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) was initiated by the City after January 1, 2007, and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006. At its meeting on May 11 and 12, 2010, City Council directed City Planning staff to immediately commence the Official Plan Amendment process.
The proposed OPA amends the definition of “rental housing” for the lands known as 38 Abell Street (formerly known as 150 Sudbury Street) in order for Toronto Artscape Inc., a non-profit housing provider, to benefit from municipal assistance through property tax waivers for the provision of affordable rental housing.
City Council adopted amendments to the Zoning By-law for 150 Sudbury Street, which secures 20 artist live/work units with affordable rents (0.8 times the average CMHC market rent for the City). The Bills have not yet been placed before City Council for enactment. These 20 units are proposed to be condominium registered units, which is explicitly prohibited by the definition of “rental housing” in the Official Plan. In order to benefit from municipal assistance for affordable rental units, while at the same time being condominium registered units, the proposed site specific OPA is required for the 20 live/work units at 38 Abell Street.
This report discusses the issues and recommends approval of the City initiated amendment to the Official Plan. |

(May 31, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
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 amend the Railway Lands Central and East Secondary Plans and the Railway Lands Central and East Zoning By-laws to permit a 14,000 square metre aquarium to the east of the CN Tower, and a 4,400 square metre commercial building on the west side of the base of the CN Tower.

Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Toronto and East York Community Council requested the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, in consultation with the applicant, to report directly to Council on July 6, 2010, on the specific idea of relocating all the parking and drop-off facilities to the east side of the site, thus allowing for the construction of a play area on the site’s west side; and further that staff analyze the feasibility of this proposal from a parking capacity and operational point of view, taking into consideration the internal workings of the School and Synagogue.
The Toronto and East York Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 22, 2010, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act. |
Origin |
(May 26, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This application was made on December 22, 2008 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.
This application proposes to construct a 3-storey addition, to the south of the existing school building that houses Leo Baeck Day School. The addition will contain facilities used for a synagogue and school related functions. It will maintain the existing Temple and administrative wing at 1950 Bathurst Street, 89 Dewbourne Avenue and 84 Ava Road.
The City Planning Division considers that this specific private school expansion proposal is satisfactory and is recommending approval given that the existing building plus the proposed addition will have no significant built-form impact on the adjacent homes.
A maximum permitted total gross floor area (10,900 m2) on the site has been included in the draft zoning by-law (refer to Attachment 6) at a floor area that approximately represents the existing buildings on the site plus the proposed addition. Planning staff believe that in its proposed expanded state, the school building will be at the maximum size that could be supported on the surrounding residential streets.
The school’s purchase of the properties at 89 Dewbourne Avenue and 84 Ava Road will provide a 3.1 m wide buffer strip between the school’s property and adjacent residential houses, as well as, a one-way vehicular access, contained on-site, which will mainly serve as a circulation route for student drop off/pick up, and a parking area. This one-way vehicular access will allow vehicles to avoid the need to drive through the residential neighbourhood in order to exit back onto the main arterial road (Bathurst Street). It will also accommodate the stacking of cars on-site.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. |

(June 4, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This application was made on April 29, 2008 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 the lands at 54-74 Berwick Avenue and 191-211 Duplex Avenue to permit the demolition of 20 rental housing units and the construction of twenty townhouses fronting onto Duplex Avenue and two hundred and fifteen condominium and rental apartment units in a 17-storey building fronting on Berwick Avenue.
The City Planning Division is recommending approval of the proposed development based on its location and on its planned and design attributes which include:
a. the subject lands were part of the Yonge-Eglinton Centre Focussed Review study which included an extensive community consultation process that resulted in Council adopting new Official Plan policies (OPA 63), Design Guidelines and zoning provisions (236-2009) for the area bounded by Eglinton Avenue West, Yonge Street, Berwick Avenue and Duplex Avenue. The proposed development complies with the policies of OPA 63, the principles set out in the Design Guidelines and requires only minor amendments to By-law 236-2009;
b. the proposed 17-storey component of the development transitions down from the higher intensity uses of Yonge Street to the proposed townhouses on the site and to the existing low density residential beyond them to the west. The proposed development uses multiple building stepbacks in order to comply with a 45 degree angular plane as drawn from a point 10 feet above the Duplex Avenue property line;
c. the fit of the built form and design of the proposed townhouses on Duplex Avenue with the existing neighbourhood to the west;
d. the stepback or terraced design of the 17-storey building reduces the massing of the building along Berwick and allows for sky views and oblique views to the north from the existing houses on the south side of Berwick Avenue;
e. the inclusion of grade-related units on Berwick Avenue integrate the proposed 17-storey building into the existing neighbourhood context on Berwick Avenue;
f. the site is within a block of the intersection of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue. It has excellent existing and future transit connections to most points within the City and is within proximity to retail, service and entertainment facilities and places of employment;
g. the location and screening of the loading bays, parking ramp and garbage storage area which are located internally to the development and accessed from a 2-way driveway leading from Berwick Avenue;
h. the Section 37 benefits that would be available as a result of approval and construction of this development including; funding for the acquisition and development of a new park within the Yonge-Eglinton Centre Focussed Review area, the owner’s agreement to convey the 2-way driveway to the City which will form part of an eventual new north-south public street that will open new land for redevelopment and ensure that the traffic associated with those redevelopments will have a minimal impact on the existing neighbourhood streets, and the owner’s agreement to replace 12 of the existing rental units within the proposed 17-storey condominium and cash-in-lieu of replacement for the equivalent of an additional 4 units; and
i. the dedication of land for parkland purposes under the Alternative Parkland Dedication By-law which will form a small green space on Duplex Avenue in the short term and which will become a portion of the larger park which is to be constructed within the Yonge-Eglinton Focussed Review area. |

(June 3, 2010) Report from the Director, Community and Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
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.
The application proposes to convert the existing church building, located at 175 Jones Avenue, into 19 residential units, add a 4-storey addition to the south of the church building (containing 20 residential units) and connect the buildings with a 2-storey link. One level of underground parking with access off the rear public lane is proposed.
The subject properties, 169 and 175 Jones Avenue, differ from the surrounding prevailing lot patterns and configuration. Both lots are larger than the surrounding properties and previously contained non-residential uses; a place of worship and a former industrial use.
This infill residential project will conserve a local heritage resource, have heights, massing and scale appropriate for the site and be compatible with the adjacent residential area. Considerable attention has been given to the relationship between this proposal and neighbouring properties to ensure adequate privacy, sunlight and sky views for residents of the new development and for existing residents.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. |

Summary |
This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations to the heritage property at 175 Jones Avenue, the former St. Clement's Anglican Church. This report further recommends the designation of this property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.
This report addresses an application to adaptively reuse the church structure as a residential condominium and construct a 4-storey residential condominium building. The proposed rehabilitation project retains the original structure of the church. Also, the existing addition to the rear of the church is to be removed and replaced with a new 3-storey addition. Two new floor levels will be added to the interior of the existing church.
The proposed alterations are necessary to accommodate the new use for the church. The front (west) bay of the building will be conserved and will remain essentially as it is now with some minor alterations. The side and rear elevations will retain their important characteristics while undergoing alteration to incorporate new windows and doors. |

Summary |
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 335 Yonge Street (Empress Hotel) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property was included on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties in March 1974.
The property at 335 Yonge Street is located on the southeast corner of Yonge Street and Gould Street. On April 16, 2010, a portion of the north (Gould Street) wall collapsed.
At its meeting of April 20, 2010, the Toronto and East York Community Council requested the Manager of Heritage Preservation Services to report to the May 28, 2010 meeting of the Toronto Preservation Board on the designation of the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. The designation of the property would enable City Council to control alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance and refuse demolition. |

(March 29, 2010) Report from the Acing Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division |
Summary |
This report recommends that City Council include the property at 450 Pape Avenue (William Harris House) on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties and state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
At its meeting of September 15, 2009, Toronto and East York Community Council referred a letter dated September 10, 2009 from Councillor Paula Fletcher to the Director, Policy and Research, City Planning Division, to consider a request to have the property at 450 Pape Avenue designated as a heritage property and to report to the Toronto Preservation Board and Toronto and East York Community Council on this matter.
Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property at 450 Pape Avenue meets Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed by the Province of Ontario for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. If City Council states its intention to designate the property, the owner would be required to apply to Council for permission to alter and/or demolish the building and structures under Part IV, Sections 33 and 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act. |

Origin |
(June 3, 2010) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
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.
The applicant proposes an 11-storey residential building at 15-27 Beverley Street. Townhouses with separate entrances are proposed along Beverley Street at the base of a 3-storey podium with a residential building above. Access for parking and loading is located off the public lane at the south side of the site. The proposal involves the demolition of existing buildings on the site, including all of the residential rental dwelling units, with no replacement rental housing to be provided.
This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Zoning By-law for the following reasons:
- The height is inappropriate and transition in scale between the proposed building and the residential area to the north is inadequate given the area context.
- The proposal does not comply with the angular plane requirements within the Zoning By-law for the north elevation.
- The applicant did not propose any replacement of the existing residential rental dwelling units together with similar rents and other related matters or an acceptable plan for tenant relocation and assistance and no application under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act 2006 respecting rental housing was filed.
- The applicant did not address the heritage attributes of the existing buildings.
The applicant submitted revised plans on May 5, 2010, to address staff’s concerns. Although the revisions did address some of staff’s concerns, issues related to the angular plane on the north elevation and the residential rental dwelling replacement are still unresolved. It is staff’s intention to continue working with the applicant to try to resolve the remaining issues. |

Summary |
Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) has made an application to remove the Holding Symbol (H) from the Zoning By-law for Phase 2 lands in Regent Park.
At its meeting of February 1-3, 2005, Council adopted a report dated January 4, 2005, from the Director of Community Planning, South District, recommending approval of the Regent Park Secondary Plan and an area-specific zoning by-law, subject to Holding provisions.

A detailed report is being prepared and will be submitted directly to Toronto and East York Community Council on June 22, 2010 or to City Council on July 6, 2010.

162 Cumberland Street - Rezoning Application - Preliminary Report and Directions Report for 150 Bloor Street West |
Committee Recommendations |
||||||||
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:
1. City Council instruct the City Solicitor to inform the Ontario Municipal Board that as the statutory time limit for Council to consider a zoning application as set out in the Planning Act has not yet expired, and the public and community consultation required by Section 5.5.1 (c) of the Official Plan has not yet occurred, prior to the writing of this report, it is not recommended that Council address the zoning application submitted by 162 Cumberland Street at this time. However, this report and these recommendations are necessary for Council to provide instructions to the City Solicitor with regard to the City’s position for the upcoming Ontario Municipal Board hearing.
2. City Council instruct the City Solicitor to inform the Ontario Municipal Board that the City has considered the new information put forward by 162 Cumberland Holdings Inc. and has chosen to change its position on the parking and loading space requirements set out in the Zoning By-law 1171-2009, as outlined in the chart which forms part of Recommendation 3, which is subject to preconditions.
3. City Council instruct the City Solicitor to inform the Ontario Municipal Board that Council supports the following amendments to site specific By-law No. 1171-2009, provided that these amendments do not prejudice the request of the other parties and participants to the hearing. Furthermore, that any Bill to implement these amendments not be introduced to Council until such time as the Ontario Municipal Board has issued a Decision on Case No. PL100054:
a. Permit up to 96 parking spaces in the Building B parking garage to be operated as a “parking garage” to be available for owners and occupants of Building A and B and also for users who are not occupants or customers of Building B.
b. Revisions to Site Specific By-law, provided the necessary preconditions have been met, to the satisfaction of the General Manager of Transportation Services, in consultation with the Chief Planner and the City Solicitor:

(June 3, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
At the request of Councillor Janet Davis, Transportation Services staff investigated the feasibility of expanding the existing "School Bus Loading Zone" and providing a “Student Pick-up/Drop-off Area” (SPDA) for Parkside Elementary School on Cedarvale Avenue.
The expansion of the existing “School Bus Loading Zone” and providing a “Student Pick-up and Drop-off Area”, with a 10-minute maximum parking regulation, is justified on the east side of Cedarvale Avenue. These measures should improve safety for children, minimize conflicts between private vehicles and school buses, and enhance loading operations during peak arrival and dismissal times at Parkside Elementary School. |

Origin |
(June 1, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This report is requesting approval from City Council to install “No Right Turn on Red” regulations at the following five (5) intersections in the Toronto and East York District:
- College Street and Spadina Avenue; - College Street and St. George/Beverley Street; - Harbord Street and Spadina Avenue; - Harbord Street/Hoskin Avenue and St. George Street; and - Bloor Street West and Bay Street.
Prohibiting right turns on red at the selected intersections is designed to promote pedestrian safety and is required in order to install bike boxes and a pedestrian scramble intersection. Bike boxes will be installed at the College Street and Harbord Street/Hoskin Avenue intersections and the pedestrian scramble operation will be installed at the intersection of Bloor Street West and Bay Street. The installation of bike boxes and the pedestrian scramble operation will increase pedestrian and cyclist safety and decrease potential collisions with right turning vehicles. Further, the recommended “No Right Turn on Red” regulations will have a minimal affect on traffic operations based on the volume of vehicles currently making the right turn on red manoeuvre.
The pedestrian priority phase at the Bloor Street West and Bay Street intersection was "approved by City Council at its meeting on October 22 and 23, 2007 in considering the report titled ‘Sustainable Transportation Initiatives: Short-term Proposals’ (PW9.2)". |

Installation of Stop Control - Maughan Crescent and Hemlock Avenue |
Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council:
1. Established stop control for northbound traffic on Maughan Crescent at the east intersection with Hemlock Avenue. |
Origin |
(May 21, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Toronto and East York District |
Summary |
This staff report is about a matter for which Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.
Transportation Services reviewed the lack of traffic control at the east intersection of Maughan Crescent and Hemlock Avenue.
Maughan Crescent intersects the south side of Hemlock Avenue at two locations, both of which are T-type intersections. The west of these intersections is all-way stop-controlled while there are no stop signs or traffic control devices at the east intersection. As a result, motorists sometimes confuse who has the right-of-way at the east intersection. The installation of a stop sign for northbound traffic at the intersection would clearly designate who has the right-of-way, thereby enhancing safety at the intersection. |

Hydrant Relocations - St. Clair Avenue West |
Committee Decision |
The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the report dated May 5, 2010, from the Director, Transportation Services, President, Toronto Parking Authority, and Director, District Operations, Toronto Water, respecting Hydrant Relocations - St. Clair Avenue West, until its next meeting to be held on August 17, 2010. |
Origin |
(May 5, 2010) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, President, Toronto Parking Authority, Director, District Operations, Toronto Water |
Summary |
The purpose of this staff report is to reply to the Toronto East York Community Council Decision Document No. TE32.124 dated March 9, 2010 and specifically to report on the feasibility of relocating the existing mid-block fire hydrants along St. Clair Avenue West between Bathurst Street and Winona Drive closer to the corners so as to increase available parking spaces.
In the process of putting together this report, staff from Transportation Services, Technical Services, Toronto Water, and the Toronto Parking Authority all investigated the existing conditions along St. Clair Avenue West and provided comments on possible ways to increase available parking spaces.
The review conducted by Transportation Services concluded that the fire hydrants at Nos. 838, 722, 596, and 566 St. Clair Avenue West could potentially be relocated from their existing locations to adjacent “No Parking” zones.
The Toronto Parking Authority indicated that the relocation of the hydrants would increase the on-street inventory by one or two spaces per location. The relocation of the hydrants would not impact on the Authority’s cost or have any other operational impacts.
Field investigations conducted by Toronto Water staff revealed that this stretch of St. Clair Avenue West is serviced by eleven fire hydrants on the north side and two on the south side of the street, with horizontal spacing between hydrants presently ranging from 47.3 metres to 178.5 metres. Ontario Regulation 350/06 (Building Code Act, 1992) Section 3.2.5.7 (2) regulates the maximum spacing between fire hydrants to be 90 metres. The hydrants identified by Transportation Services for potential relocation at Nos. 566, 596, 628, 722, and 838 St. Clair Avenue West cannot be relocated to the side street intersections as the spacing would exceed the required minimum of Ontario Regulation 350/06.
Technical Services reported that the issue of relocating the existing mid-block fire hydrants to the corners was addressed in 2009, and that all the hydrants that could be moved were already moved during the TTC track reconstruction. There was one additional hydrant that was to have been installed at Arlington Avenue during the TTC track reconstruction. Due to unresolved issues at the time of construction however, the installation of the hydrant was delayed until the spring of 2010. Once this hydrant is installed, the existing 178.5 metre spacing reported by Toronto Water will be reduced. |

Summary |
On October 27, 2010 Soulpepper Theatre Company will be holding its annual special event fundraiser at the Young Centre for Performing Arts here in Toronto in the Distillery Historic District (55 Mill Street, Building #49, Toronto, ON, M5A 3C4). As a charity, Soulpepper relies on private sector support for over 40 percent of its annual operating revenue, making our annual event an integral part of our fundraising efforts.
As a part of the event we have planned a performance in the Marilyn and Charles Baillie Theatre in the Young Centre during which we would like to serve alcohol to our guests and supporters. As alcohol is not generally served in the Baillie Theatre given its tiered seating for theatrical performances, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario requires that The Young Centre apply for a Liquor Sales Licence Stadium Endorsement under The Young Centre's existing liquor licence (Venue: 1691521 Ontario Inc., liquor licence #811750.
As a part of the application process the AGCO requires that a resolution of City Council to allow this endorsement accompany our application package. We are therefore respectfully submitting our formal request to Council for their approval at this time. |

(June 22, 2010) Letter from Councillor Sandra Bussin, Ward 32, Beaches-East York |
Summary |
At the May 25, 2010 meeting of the Toronto and East York Community Council, Community Council voted in favour of referring a letter from me to the Manager, Heritage Preservation Services with a request that staff expedite its report to the Toronto Preservation Board for its meeting on June 30, 2010, and Toronto and East York Community Council, on designating 204 Beech Avenue as a heritage property and including it on the Heritage Inventory.
Based on the issuance of a building permit to the owner of 204 Beech Avenue by the Building Department on Friday, June 11, 2010, in accordance with the applicable laws of the Ontario Building Code, to remove the dormers, the turret and related interior alterations to the existing dwelling, reasons no longer exist to report 204 Beech Avenue to the Toronto Preservation Board on designating as a heritage property because of the removal of its most significant heritage features.
Therefore, I move that Community Council’s request on May 25, 2010, that staff expedite its report to the Toronto Preservation Board for its meeting on June 30, 2010, and Toronto and East York Community Council, on designating 204 Beech Avenue as a heritage property and including it on the Heritage Inventory be rescinded by the Toronto and East York Community Council at this meeting of June 22, 2010. |
