The Beaches-East York Pilot Project (“the Pilot Project”) is part of the Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods ("EHON") initiative. The Pilot Project was initiated with the purpose of building a missing middle demonstration project in consultation with the community and the development industry on City-owned land within the Beaches-East York neighbourhood (Ward 19). This report recommends amending the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a development on a City-owned site located at 72 Amroth Avenue. The proposal includes a six-storey apartment building fronting Amroth Avenue with a height of 19.5 metres (23.5 metres with the mechanical penthouse), and a three-storey fourplex with a height of 9.95 metres and a three-storey duplex with a height of 9.65 metres at the rear of the lot. The development has a total of 34 residential units, 39 bicycle parking spaces and 2,353 square metres of gross floor area. The proposal is an appropriate example of intensification within designated Neighbourhoods. It is in a form that is respectful of the adjacent low-rise detached houses, while making use of an underutilized site near a major transit station and adjacent Danfor…

On May 10, 2023, City Council adopted Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments to permit multiplexes city-wide. In recent years, Toronto City Council has made significant strides toward eliminating exclusionary zoning and promoting gentle density in Neighbourhoods across the city, including by legalizing multiplexes, garden suites, laneway suites, and permitting small-scale apartments on Major Streets. A primary objective of the award-winning Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) program is to legalize diverse housing types as-of-right. The minor variance process often leads to delays and increased costs, hindering the construction of new housing units. It is essential to address gaps in the zoning by-law to ensure consistent interpretations, rather than relying on the discretion of individual planners or the Committee of Adjustment. Stakeholders have raised concerns that the current interpretation of the Zoning By-law 569-2013 amendment to permit multiplexes is creating obstacles to building multiplex housing. Recently, applications for semi-detached fourplexes have been classified as one single apartment building instead of two multiplexes. This classification imp…

This report responds to the June 26, 2024, City Council directive to staff to develop a “Hamilton-style” renovictions bylaw (Renovictions Bylaw) and implementation framework to protect tenants and prevent "renovictions". A renoviction is when a landlord illegitimately evicts a tenant by alleging that vacant possession of a rental unit is needed to undertake renovations or repairs. Renovictions can include refusing to allow a tenant who has exercised their right of first refusal to return post-renovation, illegally raising the rent on a returning tenant, or not undertaking major renovations after evicting renters. This results in the displacement of tenants, the permanent loss of affordable market rental housing, and contributes to rising homelessness in Toronto. As rent policies and landlord-tenant matters fall under provincial jurisdiction, the City of Toronto has urged the Province to take action against renovictions, including enforcing the Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023 (Bill 97), improving Landlord and Tenant Board processes, introducing vacancy rent control, requiring temporary relocation assistance during renovations, and creating a centralized…

On December 10, 2020, an application to amend the Zoning By-law was submitted to permit the construction of a 12-storey residential building containing 158 dwelling units with condominium tenure. The application was deemed complete on December 15, 2020. On March 21, 2023, a revised Zoning By-law Amendment application was received. This application proposes to redevelop the lands with a 29-storey residential building containing 296 dwelling units and an approximate gross floor area of 20,761 square metres and 8.2 floor space index. On August 14, 2023, the applicant appealed the Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal due to City Council not making a decision within the 90-day time frame specified in the Planning Act. The City Solicitor requires further direction for the upcoming Ontario Land Tribunal hearing.

The CaféTO program supports Toronto's neighbourhoods and local economy by providing expanded outdoor dining opportunities for bars and restaurants. Since 2020, the program has continued to improve and evolve with each outdoor dining season (May 1 to October 15) based on a commitment to the city's economic recovery and balancing the diverse needs of Toronto's communities. While the City has expanded outdoor dining programs to include permitting programs for sidewalk and curb lane cafes, hardscaped surfaced parks, and through zoning provisions on private property, the focus of this report will be curb lane cafés located on the right-of-way, which is led by Transportation Services with support from Economic Development and Culture. Since the CaféTO program became permanent in 2023, staff have implemented the Council-approved BIA Curb Lane Pilot Program. This initiative also enhances the efficiency of program rollout by allowing Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) to design streetscape and curb lane closures that meet the unique needs of their neighbourhoods. Throughout the 2024 CaféTO season and during the implementation of the Pilot Program, staff frequentl…

In March 2021, City Council considered a staff report, DM30.1 – Swiss Challenge Negotiated Request for Proposals for a Digital Government Platform, that detailed the Swiss Challenge Negotiated Request for Proposals process and outlined next steps for negotiation with the successful supplier, PayIt. At that time, City Council adopted a motion requesting the Auditor General to consider a review of the Strategic Partnerships Office (also known as the Toronto Office of Partnerships) as part of the next Auditor General’s Annual Work Plan, with a focus on its relationship to public procurement[1]. An audit was subsequently added to the Auditor General’s Office Work Plan[2]. The objective of this audit was to review the procurement of the PayIt Platform and outcomes achieved to date, to identify lessons learned and opportunities to clarify and / or improve the City’s Unsolicited Quotations for Proposals Policy and Process for Receiving and Reviewing Unsolicited Quotations and Proposals. The audit aimed to answer the following questions: - Did the procurement with PayIt properly follow the City’s policy and process for unsolicited proposals? - Did the impleme…
