The purpose of this report is to provide Infrastructure and Environment Committee with updated cost estimates and project information associated with the potential construction of a sanitary sewer on Ridgewood Road, the costs for which would be recovered from property owners through a local improvement charge. Road reconstruction and new sidewalk construction is planned on Ridgewood Road, with construction anticipated to begin in 2026. Although delivering the proposed sewer with the road reconstruction and new sidewalk could provide some cost and construction coordination benefits, bundling the two projects would result in the 2026 construction start being delayed to accommodate potential sewer design work. At its meeting on March 20 and 21, 2024, City Council directed the City Manager to consult with the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on the feasibility of amending Ontario Regulation 596/06 under the City of Toronto Act (the "Regulation") and to make any other legislative or regulatory amendments to allow the City to impose local improvement charges using different methods from those set out in the Regulation for the construction of the Ridgewood Road sewer.

Since October 2023, there has been an increase in protests and demonstrations across the world, and Toronto has been no exception. In March 2024, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw reported that Toronto has seen a 93 percent increase in hate crimes since October 7, 2023. A shocking 56 percent of incidents have been antisemitic and target Toronto’s Jewish minority – but there have also been increases in anti-LGBTQ hate, anti-Black hate, and anti-Arab, Muslim and Palestinian hate. At the October 2023 Council meeting, Council unanimously passed Mayor Chow’s motion 2023.MM11.37, “Keeping Toronto Safe from Hate.” This motion supported the creation of “community safety zones… inclusive of areas surrounding places of worship and cultural and religious daycares and schools recognized as a potential target for hate.” To date, no such zones have been created. Instead, demonstrations continue to occur close to and target such facilities, creating fear and distress for many Torontonians. This is why we ask the Province to urgently develop policy and legislation to create safety zones with a radius of 50 to 150 metres, modelled on the “bubb…

Majority required - MM18.16 - Matlow - motion 1
The openness of the City is something that we should rightfully take pride in. The City is routinely the most accessible, available, and transparent level of government. Much of this comes from the improvements and changes that past Council’s made to increase accountability. Recent events have highlighted the continued need for Council to continuously make improvements and changes to our processes in order to continue to meet our high standards. When considering requests for Council approval under the Members of Council Operations Policy the standard should be that receipts related to the requested reimbursement be provided publicly to assure the public that we’re making decisions with as much information as possible.

On April 7, 2022, the City enacted By-law 269-2022, adopting Official Plan Amendment 573, implementing Site and Area Specific Policy 772 and Urban Design guidelines for Danforth Avenue extending from the Don Valley in the west to Coxwell Avenue. Official Plan Amendment 573 was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal and a two-week hearing is scheduled to commence on December 2, 2024. At its meeting on November 8 and 9, 2023, City Council adopted the recommendations, as amended, for Item EX9.3 - Generational Transformation of Toronto's Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes. In doing so, City Council added Recommendation 30, requesting the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Deputy City Manager, Development and Growth Services, to report directly to the December 13,14, and 15, 2023, meeting of City Council on a City-initiated revision to Site and Area Specific Policy 772 as part of the Ontario Land Tribunal's adjudication of appeals, in the context of the Zoning By-law Amendment application for 1095-1111 Danforth Avenue, which would support the redevelopment of the existing non-profit housing site at 1117 Danforth to rebuild and modernize the existing units, and…

Majority required - CC18.12 - Adopt the Item
This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 14 storey mixed-use building with 108 affordable and rent-controlled market units, including 27 social housing replacement units, and 50 square metres of commercial/retail space at grade at 1117 Danforth Avenue. This report also recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application. The proposal includes a Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan that address the right for existing tenants to return to replacement social housing dwelling units at similar rent and interim accommodation at rent-geared-to-income levels for the duration of the construction period. The proposed development is consistent with Provincial Policy Statement (2020), conforms with the Growth Plan (2020), and represents an appropriate form and scale of development. This report reviews and recommends amending the Zoning By-law with a holding provision (“H”) to address a shared loading space.

Majority required - TE13.7 - Adopt the Item
This report reviews and recommends approval of an application to amend the City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit a 13 storey mixed use development at 1095 and 1111 Danforth Avenue. The building is proposed to contain 272 rental dwelling units, 673.7 square metres of non-residential gross floor area and one level of underground parking. Staff support approval of the proposed development, as it responds to the City's affordable housing strategy, provides an enhanced public realm, and integrates and retains the façade of the Trull Funeral Home at 1111 Danforth Avenue, identified as having cultural heritage value. This report recommends a holding provision (“H”) be included in the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, to address a shared loading arrangement with the neighbouring 1117 Danforth Avenue proposal (file 24 120936 STE 14 OZ). 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), and represents an appropriate form and scale of development.
