The recommended Official Plan Amendment (OPA 688) and amendments to Municipal Code Chapter 415 in this report establish new policy tools that enable the City to better address changes to development application decision-making and approval timelines in the Planning Act and City of Toronto Act, 2006, under Bill 109, the More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022, and ensure conformity with Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022. OPA 688 adds a new requirement for in-effect zoning compliance as part of a complete Site Plan Control application to Schedule 3 of the Official Plan. This requirement enforces sequential consideration, decision-making and approval of development applications to support scoped review of Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control application types and better timeline management under Bill 109. This represents a significant change in practice as approximately 84% of Site Plan Control applications submitted to the City between January 1, 2019 and July 31, 2023 were concurrent with a rezoning process. This report also recommends Municipal Code Amendments related to Site Plan Control, including repeal and replacement of Municipal Code Chapter 415, Development…

Toronto is a caring place and through a continued commitment we are always working to ensure our city is increasingly safe and welcoming. Our empathy, compassion and the harmony in which we live are a beacon to millions from around the world, who seek Toronto out as a place of hope. A place they can feel safe, where they can be free to celebrate their culture, their identity, and to worship without fear for their safety. We also know that there have been rising levels of hate the last few years and as a city, we are often on the front lines of addressing it. Members of Council know the needs of their residents and work closely with communities and civil society to help foster a feeling of belonging. We are all committed to creating a city free from all forms of discrimination and racism. As is shown through our Toronto for All campaigns that focus on a number of topics including Anti-Black racism, Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and intimate partner violence. The City also has a Hate Activity Policy which condemns the promotion of hatred and promotes an environment without hate. Hate crime is a criminal offence in Canada. Toronto is committed to human rights and condemning hate in all…

Ontario Place is a treasured public space, a site of international heritage importance, and well-used, well-loved parkland. The City of Toronto has consistently called for a collaborative process with the Province of Ontario for any redevelopment of Ontario Place. That work resulted in a commitment by the Province to follow the City’s development application review process. A development proposal is currently under review by City staff, and a final report will be considered at the December meeting of City Council. Through the planning application process, City staff have engaged the Province through Infrastructure Ontario and the Ministry of Infrastructure. Through that engagement, City staff communicated their expectation that Infrastructure Ontario will be following the City’s Urban Forestry process for injury and removal permits for trees at Ontario Place. This week, Provincial representatives stated that they will not be formally applying for permits, under their provincial authorities. The Province issued a Request for Proposals for tree removal services that closed on Friday October 6. This phase of work will affect trees on the East Island and Mainland areas of…

The Mayor's 2023 budget, passed in February 2023, contained two troubling service cuts. The first was a reduction in city tree maintenance budget, and the second was the deletion of the mechanical vacuum leaf collection program. The mechanical vacuum leaf collection program is a highly valued service by residents in many parts of the city, and in particular Etobicoke, due to the dense mature urban forestry canopy which covers city streets and public places. The mechanical vacuum leaf collection program provides an easier and less costly way for residents to ensure leaves that have accumulated on the public right of way in front of their homes are efficiently collected without the need to purchase and fill paper collection bags. In some cases, residents are required to fill dozens and dozens of bags with leaves that accumulate from city trees along the street. This is an onerous task for many, including seniors. The efficient collection of leaves promotes safer streets, and helps avoid blockages of storm water and snow melt water. It is also a service which enhances the support by residents for planting additional trees. Recently notices were distributed by the City to residents to…

The Alcohol in Parks pilot program was approved by City Council in July 2023 to run in 27 parks across Toronto from August 2, 2023 to October 9, 2023. The pilot reduces restrictions on responsible drinking in parks and has measures in place to address concerns such as public health and safety, cleanliness and waste management, and enforcement. City staff were asked to review the pilot's success and bring forward their report to City Council in the first quarter of 2024. With five of these parks are in my ward, I have closely monitored the feedback that residents have shared with my office. Residents have expressed their appreciation for the pilot program as they have enjoyed the ability to have a drink with their family and friends. Since we’ve seen very limited issues I am asking City Council’s support for an extension and to allow City Councillors who are part of the current pilot to opt out of the extension of the pilot through the Fall and Winter until a final policy is approved. The reason this is urgent is the pilot expires October 9, 2023 and without an extension the rules will revert to their pre-pilot prohibition.
