The units will be replaced with eight new rental dwelling units as part of the approved redevelopment of the site consisting of a 12-storey residential building with 357 dwelling units in addition to the replacement units.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Two of the eight rental units at 3291 Kingston Road were previously demolished without permits and are recommended to be included in the Rental Housing Demolition permit and replaced as part of the application. The proposal also includes the provision of a Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan for all eligible tenants of the existing rental dwelling units, including the right to return to a replacement rental dwelling unit. The proposal also includes the demolition of two owner-occupied, single-detached houses at 2 and 4 Windy Ridge Drive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The properties are also the subject of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application (20 209863 ESC 20 OZ) which was appealed by the owner to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) in August 2022 due to a lack of decision from City Council. The Ontario Land Tribunal issued a written decision on November 10, 2023, approving the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment in principle, with the final order being withheld until all outstanding matters, including the necessary agreements with the City, are secured, including considerations related to rental housing matters.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report recommends approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.</p> | 15 | 1 | CCOUNCIL | SC | 20 - Scarborough Southwest | N | 1721793600000 | … | Report | ACTION | Adopted | Main | City of Toronto Act, 2006 | Public Notice Given | Community Council | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | … | ACTION | true | Adopted | 9:30 AM | — | — |

The proposed development consist of five blocks of stacked, back-to-back townhouse units. The proposed townhouse blocks are oriented along a shared private driveway from Parkcrest Drive and a central linear outdoor amenity space. Vehicular parking is provided in a one level underground parking garage.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To facilitate the proposed development, the applicant requested an amendment to the Neighbourhoods designation of the Official Plan. Through the review of the application it was determined an Official Plan Amendment not required. Along this stretch of Kingston Road, townhouse built form occurs frequently as a transition between midrise development along the corridor and lower scale land uses within the Neighbourhoods. A zoning by-law amendment is still required in order to permit the proposed density on the lands and to establish appropriate performance standards to facilitate this development.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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). As noted above it conforms with the Official Plan and provides an additional housing opportunity that fits within the existing and planned context.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law required to facilitate this development.</p> | 15 |

<p> </p>
<p>The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms with the Growth Plan. The proposal amends the Neighbourhoods designation of the Official Plan to Mixed Use Areas to provide for intensification and reurbanization of an underutilized site on a surface transit route in a compact built form that is contextually appropriate.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law and include a Holding (H) provision which will ensure that outstanding engineering issues are resolved to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Executive Director of Engineering and Construction Services prior to permitting development on the subject lands.</p> | 15 | 3 | CCOUNCIL | SC | 20 - Scarborough Southwest | N | — |

<p> </p>
<p>Windmill Developments is constructing an 8-storey mixed-use building at 1161 Kingston Road. The site is located on the southeast corner of Kingston Road and Courcelette Road. The eastbound curb lane on Kingston Road and a portion of the northbound curb lane and east sidewalk on Courcelette Road are currently closed for construction staging operations. It should be noted that construction of the development is currently in progress, operating under a monthly Street Occupation Permit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services is requesting authorization to legitimize the temporary closure of the south sidewalk and the eastbound curb lane on Kingston Road with a provision for a covered and protected walkway in the closed curb lane. In addition, authorization is being requested to close the east sidewalk and a portion of the northbound curb lane on Courcelette Road to accommodate construction staging operations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The developer has requested the subject construction staging areas for a period of 11 months, ending on June 30, 2025. As detailed in the body of the report, modifications to the existing construction staging area and signal timing modifications are planned in the upcoming weeks to address safety concerns and traffic congestion. Therefore, Transportation Services is only requesting a period of three months, from July 29 to October 15, 2024, to evaluate the effectiveness of the planned changes and determine if additional measures are required. A subsequent report will be submitted in October 2024 with these findings.</p> | 15 |

<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission, to alter St. Clair Avenue East between Midland Avenue and Linden Avenue to provide a westbound and eastbound queue jump lane for Toronto Transit Commission buses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The queue jump lanes would allow Toronto Transit Commission buses to improve service reliability and travel times on St. Clair Avenue East by bypassing general traffic in the area. This would benefit approximately 630 daily bus-trips (in both directions) and improve the journey times for 44,000 daily customers. This proposal is supported by the City and Toronto Transit Commission’s established criteria for queue-jump lane warrants.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The eastbound and westbound queue-jump lanes on St. Clair Avenue East would be accommodated by implementing pavement marking adjustments and by converting a hatched area adjacent to the curb lane and adjusting adjacent travel lanes. No road or roadway widening is required. As per the City standard, the queue-jump lane would be identified by a red paint application.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These modifications would not result in the loss of any travel lanes for general traffic. All current lanes would remain, including existing dedicated left-turn lanes at Linden Avenue and Midland Avenue.</p> | 15 | 16 | CCOUNCIL | SC |
