The purpose of this report is to seek City Council authority to enter into a non- competitive contract with N. Barry Lyons Consultants for professional services to conduct a land economics study of the economic viability and impacts on residential property values of multi-tenant houses.

This report recommends the adoption of zoning by-law amendments to modernize and clarify the rules for bars, restaurants and other entertainment venues as part of the City's inter-divisional Night Economy Review. For details on the proposed licensing framework and considerations in potential City support of the night economy, refer to the Municipal Licensing and Standards Division and the Economic Development and Culture Division staff reports prepared for the November 28, 2023, meeting of the Economic and Community Development Committee. This report also provides context on how proposed zoning by-law amendments align with the Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS) Division's proposed updates to City licensing regulations and exploratory work led by the Economic Development and Culture (EDC) Division into City steps required to support an enhanced night economy. Staff have considered the research and input received to date and weighed this information to develop balanced regulations that intend to align with evolving business models and provide flexibility and support for businesses, while ensuring an appropriate level of regulatory oversight to mitigate potential community nuisa…

The night economy – which accounts for an estimated 300,000+ jobs[1] across a range of sectors – includes all activities taking place between dusk and dawn: dining, community and special events, performing arts, recreation, live music, festivals, shift work, retail, transit and emergency services. A healthy night economy that supports the needs of residents, visitors, and workers requires a proactive municipal approach to lay the groundwork for nighttime business and culture to thrive. A coordinated, strategic approach across City divisions and related external agencies is vital to ensuring that Toronto’s night experience is safe, positive, sustainable, and inclusive. This staff report addresses two distinct but related areas of work in supporting Toronto's night economy: an update on progress of work regarding City Council directives contained in item EC6.8 Strengthening Toronto's Night Economy; and, a summary of key takeaways for the Economic Development and Culture (EDC) Division regarding the 2023 consultations for the multi-divisional Toronto Night Economy Review: Licensing and Zoning for Restaurants, Bars and Entertainment Venues Public Consultation (Toront…

This report responds to a number of motions from City Council regarding a potential future subway station at Yonge Street and Cummer/Drewry Avenues (i.e., Cummer Station) as part of the Yonge North Subway Extension (YNSE). Originally planned as part of the Province of Ontario’s YNSE project, Cummer Station and another station at Royal Orchard Road in the City of Markham were descoped by Metrolinx following the completion of their Initial Business Case analysis and prior to the further planning and design of the project. However, Metrolinx later agreed to deliver Royal Orchard Station despite its poorer performance relative to Cummer Station. At present Cummer Station remains out of scope for the YNSE. City staff were directed through MM11.19 Last Chance to Urge Province to Build Cummer Station for the Future of North York, to prepare a business case for Cummer Station which will form the basis for another request to the Province to include Cummer Station in the YNSE’s base scope. As such, City staff have developed the preliminary business case included in Attachment 1 to this report. EX5.3 Update on Metrolinx Subways Program – Second Quarter 2023 also included mo…

The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with the Operating Variance for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as well as projections to year-end. This report also requests City Council's approval for amendments to the 2023 Approved Operating Budget and recommended expenditure authority that have no impact on the City's Net Budget. In 2023, the City continues to experience significant financial impacts, both in the form of added costs and revenue losses as a direct result of the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the 2023 Operating Budget was balanced based on the expectation of continued COVID-19 support funding from the Government of Canada and Province of Ontario with a total budget amount of $932.8 million. To date, $53.7 million in 2023 COVID-19 support funding has been committed specific to Public Health costs, $4.5 million committed to Seniors Services and Long-Term Care with an additional $22.6 million for COVID related expenses in Shelters, Support & Housing Administration. In addition to COVID-19 support funding, the City has generated $33.7 million in offsets associated with projected COVID-19 impacts compared to budgeted estimates, re…
