This Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes a 6-storey apartment building with a place of worship on the ground floor at 230 and 240 The Donway West. The existing place of worship buildings on the site will be demolished. The proposed building would have a height of 21 metres (plus a 5.5 metres mechanical penthouse) and consist of 308 residential units and a 734 square metre place of worship. In addition, the applicant is proposing to convey a 6 metre wide strip of land (513 square metres) on the south side of the site to the City as a public parkland dedication to expand Duncairn Park Trail. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and the Provincial Planning Statement (2024), and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposed development is also consistent with the general intent of the City's Official Plan, including the Central Don Mills Secondary Plan. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The recommended Zoning By-law Amendment includes a Holding (H) provision on the subject site t…

This report requests that North York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located on the boundary line between the properties of 85 Helendale Avenue and 87 Helendale Avenue. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is to address concerns related to roots and nuts causing trip hazards, nut allergies, and damage to a fence. The black walnut tree (Juglans nigra) measures 42 centimetres in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied, and the applicant is appealing the decision. Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant wishes to appeal the denial of a permit of a tree protected under the By-laws.

The direction from City Council at its July 2024 meeting on PH14.13 has generated much interest and attention. City Planning were initially directed to report to the October 24th meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council. However after the community consultation meeting on September 19th a number of important issues were raised that require additional consideration in the report. Reporting to the October 24th meeting of TEYCC will simply not allow for an in-depth analysis of all the information that has been raised in the short time since that meeting. This would also allow for City Staff to meet with residents of Craven Road and Parkmount Road.

Toronto is facing housing and homelessness crises - one where rising rents are creating unaffordable conditions for middle-income earners to live and work in the city; while a second crisis is due to a lack of deeply affordable and supportive homes for those with low-incomes, or who are experiencing homelessness, and often physical, mental health and/or addiction challenges. These crises are being driven by factors that range from inadequate housing supply, low wages and social assistance rates that have not kept pace with the rising cost of living, and structural inequities that disproportionately impact Indigenous, Black, and other racialized groups. As noted in the Perspective on the Rental Housing Roundtable report, these intersecting but separate crises require different policy solutions. The City of Toronto and its partners are taking a range of actions across the housing continuum that are guided by the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan ("HousingTO Plan") and the Housing Action Plan (2022-2026). Together, these plans provide a blueprint for comprehensive action that is rooted in the Toronto Housing Charter - Opportunity for All which recognizes that all orders of government,…

There is a humanitarian crisis unfolding on streets in our cities, large and small, urban and rural, across Ontario. The time for words is over, we need immediate action at all levels of government, starting with the Province. The homelessness, mental health and addictions crisis continues to grow with 3,432 drug related deaths in Ontario in 2023 as well as with an estimated 234,000 Ontarians experiencing homelessness and over 1,400 homeless encampments across Ontario communities in 2023. While the province has provided additional funding for mental health, addictions and homelessness programs, it does not adequately address the growing crisis and the financial and social impact on municipalities and regions across the province. Municipalities and regions are stepping up and working with community partners to put in place community-specific solutions to address this crisis, but municipalities and regions lack the expertise, capacity, or resources to address these increasingly complex health care and housing issues alone. This is primarily a health issue that falls under provincial jurisdiction and municipalities and regions should not be using the property tax base to fund these p…
