It’s been a long time coming and we are ready for it. As we know all too well, Taylor Swift is coming to Toronto for a fortnight for the Eras Tour. Swifties will shake it off at six concerts this November and it is an opportunity for Toronto to show off our great reputation and our place in this world. After Taylor Swift makes sparks fly and the whole place shimmer at the Rogers Centre in a concert that Swifties will remember forever and always, fans will need to calm down and walk along the honorary “Taylor Swift Way” to have their photos taken with the Toronto signs seven letters lit red in her honour. It’s our way to show Taylor she’s the one we’ve been waiting for, that she has brought us much happiness and that we will love her evermore.

The purpose of this report is to respond to City Council direction that the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, in consultation with the Fire Chief and General Manager, Fire Services, engage a Building Code Consultant to study the feasibility of supporting a single means of exiting multi-residential buildings of up to four storeys, including additional life safety and other measures which would meet the objectives and intent of the Ontario Building Code. Exits are a fundamental and essential component of a building's fire and life safety system. Some designers and others have advocated that the Ontario Building Code threshold for requiring a second exit stair in small multi-unit residential buildings is too high compared to other jurisdictions in North America, Europe and around the world. They suggest that a single exit staircase would support innovation in the design and construction of higher density small multi-unit buildings on constrained sites in higher density urban areas resulting in more missing middle housing. Building regulators and emergency responders have identified that there are potential impacts on safety that need to be considered i…

The Province of Ontario's Subway Program, being delivered by Metrolinx, is a significant transit expansion project within the City of Toronto. The Subway Program consists of the Ontario Line, Scarborough Subway Extension, Eglinton Crosstown West Extension, and Yonge North Subway Extension projects. In February 2020, the Province and the City negotiated a Preliminary Agreement (PA) for the Subway Program, amongst other matters. The PA outlined high-level roles and responsibilities of the City and Province in the planning, delivery, and operations of the Subway Program. As the Province continues to advance the Subway Program, through its delivery agent Metrolinx, there is a need to develop and execute a Subway Agreement-in-Principle (AIP) that enhances the principles outlined within the PA to further guide the ongoing design and delivery of the Subway Program. Negotiations on the Subway Program AIP are ongoing and will conclude imminently. As such, the purpose of this report is to note that City staff will provide a supplementary report with the details on the outcome of negotiations as soon as possible. The supplementary report to Executive Committee will provide an update on four…

The housing affordability crisis continues to impact residents across the housing continuum. While the City of Toronto has taken significant steps to address the crisis -- including making record financial investments, implementing a wide range of new policies, programs and initiatives, and improving its processes and administrative structure -- continued urgent action is needed. In recognition of the need for heightened action to improve housing outcomes for residents, in September 2023, City Council adopted Item EX7.2 - "Urgently Building More Affordable Homes", and directed the Deputy City Manager, Development and Growth Services, among other things, to create a plan, implementation framework and timeline to achieve 25,000 new rent-controlled homes, in addition to the City's previous HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (HousingTO Plan) target of 40,000 affordable rental homes. In November 2023, City Council approved Item EX9.3 – “Generational Transformation of Toronto’s Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes " which set a new housing target of 65,000 rent-controlled homes, including a minimum of 41,000 affordable rental homes and 6,500 rent-geared-…

This report responds to a complaint filed pursuant to Section 20 of the Development Charges Act, 1997 (the "DC Act"), relating to a development project located at 100 Thorncliffe Park Drive in Don Valley West. The development project is an expansion of the current building, which consists of a two-storey addition totalling 1,502.95 square meters of gross floor area (GFA). The complainant, 2613815 Ontario Inc., objects to the amount of development charges calculated. The complainant asserts that development charges in the amount of $400,147.13 should be refunded as all new GFA as contained within the first level of the expansion is for industrial uses. City staff have reviewed the complaint and are of the opinion that the Development Charges By-law (the "DC By-law") was applied properly, and no error was made in the determination of the applicable development charges. Staff have reviewed the building permit application along with the documentation submitted by the complainant, and believe the expansion was correctly categorized as commercial retail use. The development does not meet the definition of industrial uses; therefore, development charges are not exempt. This report recomm…
