This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to re-designate the lands from Neighbourhoods to Apartment Neighbourhoods, and to permit an 11-storey (39.5 metres excluding mechanical penthouse) residential building with 64 dwelling units. The application also proposes to demolish three rental dwelling units located in the 3-storey designated heritage building at 171 Lowther Avenue, which is proposed to be partially conserved and integrated within the new development.

On March 6, 2024, the Committee of Adjustment (the "Committee") refused an application brought by the owner of 30 Lakeside Avenue for variances to City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to demolish an existing two-storey dwelling and construct a new three-storey dwelling including an integral garage and driveway, two levels of basement, walkout, inground pool, hardscaping, and a rear cabana (the "Application"). A copy of the Committee's decision is attached as Attachment 1. On March 25, 2024, the owner appealed the Committee's Application refusal to the Toronto Local Appeal Body (the "TLAB"). The Application presents outstanding concerns relating, but not limited to, location, size, safety, and functionality. The TLAB hearing is scheduled to commence on July 16, 2024. This motion is before City Council as the Notice of Intention to be a Party deadline is May 10, 2024 — as such this motion is urgent. The Notice of Hearing is attached as Attachment 2. This motion will authorize the City Solicitor to attend the TLAB hearing along with appropriate City staff to oppose the appeal. This motion also authorizes the City Solicitor to negotiate a settlement of the appeal and retain ou…

This report responds to City Council’s request for the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and City Solicitor to review components of the City’s implementation approach and approval conditions for Rental Housing Demolition applications submitted under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal Code (“Chapter 667”). The report addresses the following rental replacement implementation matters: Requiring additional purpose-built market rent units as a condition of approval for Rental Housing Demolition applications; Feasibility of using secondary market (i.e., condominium) rental data to inform how financial compensation is calculated as part of Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plans for eligible tenants; and Providing income-eligible post-application tenants the option to rent available replacement affordable rental units prior to eligible individuals who are on the Centralized Affordable Rental Housing Access System. Staff are not recommending changes in response to the above implementation matters as such changes could unintentionally negatively impact the City’s existing rental replacement policy framework. The report identifies recent proc…

In 2022, City Council adopted recommendations to opt-in to a Province of Ontario pilot project under the Highway Traffic Act, which allowed the operation of large quadricycles in Toronto under specific conditions. Among the conditions approved by City Council were the requirements that large quadricycle operators must have a valid pedicab licence, and that all routes must be approved by the General Manager, Transportation Services prior to commencing operations. Since 2022, a single company has operated a tour service using large quadricycles on a seasonal basis (May to October). The two operating seasons in 2022 and 2023 have provided valuable learning opportunities for both City staff and large quadricycle operators. This report serves as an update on the Large Quadricycle Pilot Project and provides a summary of feedback from internal and external stakeholders as well as local residents. It is recommended that the City continue to opt-in to the Province of Ontario's Large Quadricycle Pilot Project. This recommendation is based on findings that conclude large quadricycles did not have identifiable impacts on traffic congestion, transit operations, or public safety in the first tw…

Majority required - EC11.3 - Adopt the item as amended
Chapter One of the Official Plan sets out aspirational and vision-based statements that inform how the city will grow for the next 30 years. These statements reflect the shared values of Torontonians, expressed in a way to guide development, and are the foundation for the other chapters in the Plan. The Official Plan is Toronto’s roadmap for growth and Chapter One is the compass that helps inform our choices. Chapter One seeks to balance the needs of todays residents without compromising the needs of future generations of Torontonians. The current Chapter One was adopted by Council in 2002 as part of the City’s first post-amalgamation Official Plan and similar to other Chapters of the Official Plan requires updating to reflect the changing vision for the city. This report recommends replacing the current Chapter One with a new Chapter One that focuses on advancing reconciliation, a Vision to 2051, and Principles for a successful and inclusive city. The recommended Chapter One will serve as a statement of values that will inform future amendments to the Plan. An emphasis on inclusion, access, and equity will ensure that these values become embedded in future decisions.…

Majority required - PH11.2 - Adopt the Item as amended
City Council approved Item 2023.TE7.91 in October 2023, including recommendation 5. that City Council prohibit northbound left-turns in effect from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, bicycles excepted at the intersection of Old Forest Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue West. The ongoing and still incomplete Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit being managed by Metrolinx has had a disastrous impact on traffic in a very wide area surrounding the Eglinton Avenue West corridor and especially in the vicinity of the Allen Road and Bathurst Street. The impacts felt by residents from overwhelming traffic infiltration on local roads has been unbearable including greater risk to pedestrians and cyclists and even backing up commuter traffic so that residents are unable to exit their driveways for 20 minutes or longer. While recommendation 5. of 2023.TE7.91 may have provided some relief to residents of Old Forest Hill Road south of Eglinton Avenue West, it has had the unintended consequence of diverting all north and westbound commuter traffic along Old Forest Hill in an effort to reach the Allen Road creating local neighbourhood traffic chaos that hasn’t been seen since the height o…
