Toronto is facing an evolving housing crisis, impacting housing affordability for low-income, vulnerable residents including people experiencing homelessness, as well as key workers and middle-income earners. In recent years, City Council has taken significant action on housing, notably approving a whole-of-government response and range of strategic, program, and policy directions through Item EX9.3 - Advancing a Generational Transformation of Toronto's Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes. City Council also increased the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (“HousingTO Plan") target to approve 65,000 rent-controlled homes (comprised of 6,500 rent-geared-to-income (RGI), 41,000 affordable rental and 17,500 rent-controlled market homes) by 2030. Effectively mobilizing the public land is necessary to achieve the targets in the HousingTO Plan. Through EX9.3, City Council identified almost 100 sites owned by the City or its Agencies and/or Corporations (hereafter referred to as “City lands” or “City sites”) that are ready to be mobilized to build new homes, or show potential as housing development sites subject to due diligence. This report p…

City Council has considered the issue of two-stroke engine use periodically over the past 25 years. Most recently, in July 2023 (2023.IE5.1), City staff brought forward a report that identified the potential negative impacts of two-stroke engine equipment on climate, health and noise and found that individually these impacts did not provide sufficient rationale for action to be taken to ban the use of two-stroke engines. Staff identified two potential options to proceed and City Council chose to express its support for a ban on the use of gas-powered two-stroke engine equipment, such as leaf blowers and hedge trimmers, as a precaution against the cumulative adverse impacts to human health and climate from noise and air pollution. Staff were directed to identify the resources required to develop and implement a ban on use of two-stroke engine equipment and report back to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee. This report responds to Council's direction and also incorporates information on actions that need to be undertaken by the City to show leadership in the transition towards zero-emission outdoor power equipment. The approach to implementing a ban and next steps outlined…

This report recommends adoption of Official Plan Amendment 804 (OPA 804) to align the Official Plan with the new provincial definition of "area of employment" in the Planning Act and "employment area" in the Provincial Planning Statement 2024 (PPS 2024). This report also recommends the redesignation of 255 hectares across four Employment Areas, largely planned as office business parks, in alignment with these new provincial definitions. These amendments are intended to ensure Toronto's Employment Areas can thrive and support economic growth. Bill 97 narrowed the definition of "area of employment" in the Planning Act and introduced a transition provision to allow municipalities to authorize the continuation of “lawfully established” uses that have been excluded from the new definition. Council adopted two Official Plan Amendments to respond to these Provincial changes. Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 668 was adopted by Council on July 19, 2023, to authorize the continuation of lawfully established uses in Employment Areas. Official Plan Amendment 680 was adopted by Council on July 24, 2024, to align land use permissions in Employment Areas with the amended definition of "…

In December 2021, City Council allocated $2.912 million from the Toronto Water Capital Reserve (Resolution EX28.6) to the Scarborough Bluffs West (SBW) Project. The SBW study (the Project) will explore the enhancement and protection of sensitive shoreline and natural areas and opportunities for improved waterfront experience and access between the Eastern Beaches (Silver Birch Avenue) and Bluffer’s Park along Lake Ontario. City Council also requested Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to include the Project as part of the 2022 Budget process and directed the City Manager to enter into an agreement with TRCA to complete the Project. The Project commenced on November 2, 2023 and following completion of several rounds of consultation through 2024, the Draft Terms of Reference (ToR) was released for public comment and agency review in July 2024. In fall 2024, after reviewing the Draft ToR, the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) contacted the Project team to confirm whether all future design options would meet the recently updated 2024 Environmental Assessment regulations. These new rules require at least 1 km of altered shoreline and 4 hectares…

As TTC operates transit service on Eglinton Avenue East (north-west branch) and Ellesmere Road, City Council approval of this report is required. At the direction of City Council, following the implementation of Transit Priority Measures to Support Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) Bus Replacement in 2023, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has continued to advance the design for the conversion of the former SRT right-of-way (ROW) between Kennedy Station and Ellesmere Station, into a Scarborough Busway. To support the implementation of the future Busway, Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the TTC, to implement changes to various roadways in proximity to the proposed Busway. The proposal includes: - The installation of a traffic signal at the new intersection of Eglinton Avenue East (north-west branch) and the future Scarborough Busway; - A road alteration to widen the section of Eglinton Avenue East (north-west branch) in the immediate proximity of the existing TTC Line 2 Kennedy Station, in order to provide priority bus lanes between Kennedy Station and the future Scarborough Busway; and - The extension of the existing Ellesmere Road bus lanes further we…
