On October 18, 2023, a Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted for a development at 70-86 Lynn Williams Street to permit a 43-storey mixed-use building containing 588 rental units, demolishing the north half of the heritage building located on the 80-86 Lynn Williams Street portion of the site, and retaining the south half fronting onto Lynn Williams Street. On April 17, 2024, City Council refused the Zoning By-law Amendment application and the applicant appealed City Council's decision on the application to the Ontario Land Tribunal. The City Solicitor requires further directions on this matter. For reasons set out in Confidential Attachment 1 to this report, this matter is urgent and cannot be deferred.

On September 28, 2023, House of Compassion, a non-profit housing provider, submitted a minor variance application (A0862/23TEY) proposing to build a laneway suite as an expansion of a residential care home use for their property at 169, 171, and 171½ Shaw Street. On November 29, 2023, the Committee of Adjustment approved the application. On May 10, 2024, my office shared an inquiry from House of Compassion with City Planning, providing some suggestions following their above-noted Committee of Adjustment application. The inquiry requested that staff investigate the possibility of amending the Zoning By-law to provide as-of-right permissions for other residential uses in laneway suites and/or garden suites including multi-tenant houses, group homes/residential care homes, multiplexes and co-living.

The Housing Now Initiative is a signature affordable housing program in Toronto and across Canada. It is also a key housing supply program to support the City's HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan, Housing Action Plan 2022-2026, and City of Toronto’s Generational Transformation of Toronto’s Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes report. Through the Housing Now Initiative, City-owned lands are leveraged for the purpose of creating new mixed-use, mixed-income communities with maximized affordable housing outcomes. To-date, the City has identified 22 sites and committed substantial land value, capital funding and financial incentives to the program, making it one of the most significant municipal financial investments in housing underway today. There are also 4 additional pipeline sites that have been identified for pr-development due-diligence. The site at 777 Victoria Park Avenue was among the original sites included in the program. Like many of the Housing Now Sites, 777 Victoria Park Avenue experienced project slow downs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented escalation in construction costs, changes to federal and provincial housing policy, a…

On June 16, 2024, a man fell from the Leaside Bridge and landed on an oncoming vehicle on the Don Valley Parkway resulting in a tragic accident, a passenger and the person who fell both succumbed to their injuries. The incident is currently under investigation by Toronto Police Service. Two lives were lost during this event that could have been mitigated by a protective barrier or railing along the bridge. Sadly, there are records of several similar suicide cases that have taken place at this bridge. In 2003, the City of Toronto originally erected barriers along the Bloor Viaduct, an unfortunately common site for suicide attempts. This action proved to be highly effective at discouraging and preventing people from jumping off the Bloor Viaduct. A study published in 2017 by Toronto Sunnybrook Hospital stated that between 2004 – 2014, only 1 person died after managing to circumvent the Bloor Viaduct barrier. In 2016, Toronto City Council adopted item MM18.4, which requested “the City Manager, in collaboration with the Medical Officer of Health, the General Manager, Transportation Services, the Toronto Police Services Board and mental health experts, to explore the effect…

Toronto Island Park (the Island) is a 242 hectare (598 acre) public park formally established in 1956 and recognized as a sacred and significant place known by Indigenous communities as Mnissing ("on the islands") since long before colonial record. Toronto Island Park is comprised of 15 discrete islands and internal waterways, providing a habitat for a diversity of flora and fauna, a natural recreational amenity for millions of annual visitors, and a home to over 600 Island residents. This staff report summarizes, and seeks Council's endorsement of, the Toronto Island Master Plan, see Attachment 1 and 2, which was developed as a long-needed response to the complex needs and significant challenges facing the Island. These challenges include the increasing effects of climate change, population and tourism growth placing pressure on Toronto Island Park's amenities and natural environment, associated maintenance and state of good repair needs of aging infrastructure, and a desire to enhance access and the overall visitor experience of the Island. The Toronto Island Master Plan is a generational opportunity to establish a vision for what this treasured place can become with strategic i…
