City Council adopted Item 2023.CC2.1 - 2023 Housing Action Plan, which introduced a new regulatory framework for Multi-Tenant Houses. Through the adoption of this item, Council directed Staff to provide exemptions from certain City fees and charges for Multi-Tenant Houses. An exemption was not advanced for the parkland dedication requirement, under of Article II of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 415, Development of Land. An amendment to the parkland dedication article of the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement for dwelling rooms within Multi-Tenant Houses is consistent with the exemptions that apply to other growth funding tools for this form of housing. At its meeting of July 24 and 25, 2024, City Council adopted Item 2024.MM20.30 which directed the General Manager Parks, Forestry and Recreation, in consultation with the Executive Director Municipal Licensing and Standards, City Solicitor and Chief Financial Officer to bring forward an amendment to the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement for Dwelling Rooms. Staff have advised that this report will be brought forward by the end of 2024. The…

On August 29, 2024, the Committee of Adjustment (the "Committee") refused an application brought by the owner of 186 Thirtieth Street for variances to City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to construct a new warehouse (the "Application"). A copy of the Committee's decision is attached as Attachment 1. On September 18, 2024, the owner appealed the Committee's refusal of the Application to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. The Application presents outstanding concerns including, but not limited to, excessive massing and insufficient setbacks. The Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing is expected to be scheduled imminently — as such this motion is urgent. This motion will authorize the City Solicitor to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing along with appropriate City staff to oppose the appeal. This motion also authorizes the City Solicitor to negotiate a settlement of the appeal and retain outside consultants as necessary.

The recent news that the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit won’t open in 2024 is yet another disappointing setback for the many Torontonians that live and work along the line that is at least a billion dollars over budget and has been delayed for years. Residents and businesses along 19 kilometres of Eglinton Avenue have been enduring over 12 years of hardship due to the endless construction. They have suffered incredible disruption and unmanageable traffic and safety issues as well as greatly reduced customer traffic, loss of revenue and in many cases business closure. Despite repeated calls by City Council demanding greater transparency and accountability, Metrolinx continues to refuse to explain the repeated delays, cost overruns and won’t even set a forecasted completion date. It is unacceptable that residents whose real estate and business decisions based on the line opening in 2020 are still left waiting for the bus. Further to recommendations made in item 2023.MM2.1, this Motion calls upon City Council to once again ask for a public inquiry into this project and request Metrolinx and the provincial Minister of Transportation to appear before the Executive Co…

In Canada, the minimum voting age is currently 18 across all jurisdictions. Fourteen Canadian municipal councils and school boards have passed motions in support of extending voting rights to 16- and 17-year-olds, or studying the policy: 1. Pickering City Council, 2004 2. Lethbridge City Council, 2015 3. Edmonton City Council, 2016 4. Edmonton Catholic School Board, 2017 5. Edmonton Public Schools, 2017 6. Calgary City Council, 2018 7. Strathcona County Council, 2018 8. Winnipeg School Division, 2018 9. Victoria City Council, 2019 10. Vancouver City Council, 2021 11. Vernon City Council, 2021 12. Saanich City Council, 2021 13. Whitehorse City Council, 2024 14. Penticton City Council, 2024 Similar motions are currently anticipated in West Vancouver, Kamloops, Surrey, Halton Hills, and Cape Breton. While beneficial to building public support in communities across the country, these campaigns have been limited by provincial/territorial jurisdiction over municipal election law. The City of Toronto’s polls for changes in a neighbourhood present an opportunity for the City to become the first in Canada to unilaterally allow 16- and 17- year-olds the opportunity to vote. This summa…

This motion seeks to have the City support the maintenance of recreational and educational uses on the site of the current Ontario Science Centre located at 770 Don Mills Road. The Province has announced the closing of the Ontario Science Centre at its current location in Don Mills. Further, they have indicated it will be relocated to Ontario Place on the waterfront. As part of the New Deal between the City and the Province it was agreed “The Province agreeing to discuss partnership opportunities with the City for maintaining public, community-oriented science programming at the legacy Ontario Science Centre.” Given that the Flemingdon Park area located next to the Science Centre has a population density of 110 people per hectare and already has approved development that will nearly double that density and population to just under 40,000 or 188 people per hectare and could increase to 60,000 residents or 278 people per hectare with applications under review, the need to develop complete communities has never been more important. Two Housing Now sites are planned for the corner of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue. East. The first will have 1,254 residential units spre…
