As the Night Economy Champion, I am working with Economic Development and Culture to ensure the City of Toronto fulfills its mandate to modernize and clarify the rules to provide flexibility and support for businesses at night, while ensuring an appropriate level of regulatory oversight to mitigate any potential community nuisance and public safety issues. As we move the directive forward, it is important that the City of Toronto join other cities worldwide in signing the Nighttime Manifesto, symbolizing a global commitment to raising the awareness around the importance of nightlife. The Nighttime Manifesto is an expression of intent to support a nighttime that is safe, resilient, sustainable, responsible, inclusive, and creative. It is aligned with existing Council direction for the City’s support of the Night Economy, including: EC8.14 headed “Supporting the Growth of the Night Economy”; EC8.13 headed “Recommended Amendments to Chapter 545, Licensing for Bars, Restaurants, and Entertainment Venues as part of the Night Economy Review”; and PH8.2 headed “Recommended Amendments to Zoning By-laws for Bars, Restaurants and Entertainment Venues as p…

With the magnitude of the City’s unfunded capital program and the cost of generational programs such as the housing plan and climate action initiatives, the Long-Term Financial Plan identified the City’s real estate assets as a source for greater value potential. Specifically, evaluating underutilized real estate and deploying strategies to maximize the long-term value of assets for City benefits and fiscal sustainability. This includes fully leveraging the value from surplus lands no longer required for municipal services and from underutilized City properties with higher and better use and public benefit potential (i.e., for housing or mixed-uses). This report responds to recommendation 5.d. from item 2023.EX7.1 - Updated Long-Term Financial Plan that was adopted by City Council in September 2023: "…to report back in advance of City Council’s consideration of the Mayor’s proposed 2024 budget on a review of all City-wide surplus and underutilized real estate assets with a recommended strategy for disposition or change in use as required, with priority consideration given to opportunities which may: - Be leveraged to support affordable housing initia…

This application proposes to permit a 4-storey rental residential building containing 14 units at a height of 13.9 metres. A total of eight parking spaces and 17 bicycle parking spaces are provided within the below grade garage. The total gross floor area ("GFA") is 1,508 square metres (Floor Space Index of 2.4 times the lot area). The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law as it provides for an appropriate level of intensification on a site within the North York Centre.

1. Council approved the new Multi-tenant House (MTH) Zoning By-law and Licensing Frameworks at their December 2022 meeting, and adopted Zoning By-law 156-2023 and the new MTH Zoning regulations and licensing requirements come into effect on March 31st, 2024. 2. Since the adoption of the new framework, City staff have worked across Divisions to develop procedures and guidance to ensure its smooth implementation, and to educate operators and tenants. 3. Planning staff have identified some technical and non-substantive items in the By-law that should be improved for implementation. 4. The zoning by-law, in its current form, does not include a comprehensive map of permissions, which makes it difficult to quickly understand how the new zoning regulations apply to specific properties. The wording of certain regulations is also unclear and could be improved to clarify how MTHs are permitted in relation to residential buildings like multiplexes, and to correct formatting issues with the parking standards table. 5. it is important to make technical corrections to prior to the March 31st roll-out to ensure the framework is implemented in accordance with Council’s decision, and provide…

The City of Toronto implemented a Vacant Home Tax in 2022. Because property status can change year-to-year, all property owners are required to declare the occupancy status of their property on an annual basis, even if they live there or fall under one or more exemptions. The declaration will determine whether the Vacant Home Tax applies and is payable. In October 2023, City Council approved an updated communications plan related to the Vacant Homes Tax, which included increased communications with property owners who do not speak English as their first language. The 2024 process also included an earlier opening date, as well as pop-up sessions to support those who require assistance to submit their declaration. For the 2023 taxation year, the deadline for property owners to declare their status was set at February 29, 2024. Given that the Vacant Home Tax is still relatively new for residents, and in recognition that the City wants to ensure all property owners have the opportunity to complete their declaration, I am recommending that Council extend the declaration deadline by an additional two-week period. If City Council adopts the proposed declaration deadline extension, to Mar…

This report provides a high-level assessment of the higher-order transit corridors identified in Official Plan Map 4 Higher Order Transit Corridors in order to provide a comprehensive policy context for on-going discussions on individual transit projects. The report responds to several motions from Council regarding advancing specific proposed higher-order transit projects: Finch LRT west extension to Woodbine GO Station, Waterfront West LRT, and western and eastern extensions to the Sheppard Subway. The report recommends further work to update Map 4 to establish a future transit network plan to respond to Toronto's growth. The analysis in this report is framed in the context of several considerations and challenges that will shape recommendations on advancing higher-order transit development over the coming decade and beyond. The Official Plan emphasizes the importance of maintaining and expanding a strong transit network to support the growth and development of the city and seeks to encourage more movement by transit and active transportation. Transit plays an important role in increasing access to education, employment, and other opportunities city-wide. Increasing transit use…
