<p> </p>
<p>The proposed building would have a total gross floor area of 24,825.5 square metres and would contain 321 dwelling units fronting Kingston Road, resulting in a Floor Space Index of 5.90 times the lot area.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). It adds to the range and mix of residential units available in a compact form while maintaining a portion of the non-residential gross floor area that is currently on the subject property.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposal conforms with the Official Plan, as it intensifies a site designated Mixed Use Areas in a way that is compatible with the existing and planned context. It provides the necessary transition to adjacent low-scale land uses while introducing additional housing options within a contextually appropriate built form. The proposal is consistent with the goals of the Kingston Road (Cliffside Village) Avenue Study which introduced a Commercial-Residential (CR) zone to the Cliffside Village Kingston Road corridor in 2009 to facilitate intensification.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Through revisions to the proposal, the applicant has increased the amount of non-residential floor area. As prescribed by the in-force Zoning By-law for the Cliffside Village area, it is recommended that a contribution of $832,000 be secured towards parkland improvements in the area as identified by the Parks Forestry and Recreation Facilities Master Plan, public art on-site, and streetscape improvements to the south of the subject property allowing for a zebra crosswalk on East Haven Drive.</p>

| 136288 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | 52200000 | Y | PLAN_ACT | Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan - Official Plan Amendment: Decision Report - Approval | 2024.SC16.8 | PBNTGVN | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>Highland Creek Village is located in south-east Scarborough. The Village was one of the first neighbourhoods established in Scarborough. Today there is a mix of commercial, residential and institutional uses in the Village. There are a number of active development applications in the area, primarily along Old Kingston/Kingston Road and Military Trail presenting opportunities to secure some transportation improvements in the area through the development review process.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The area’s transportation network consists of highways/expressways as well as arterial, collector and local roads, bounded on the south and north by Highway 2A and Kingston Road/ Old Kingston Road respectively, and between Military Trail in the west and Meadowvale Road in the east. Key issues with the transportation network include:</p>
<ul>
<li>poor active transportation options, including a lack of safe and dedicated active transportation infrastructure;</li>
<li>angled and minimal on-street parking; and</li>
<li>current street network geometry that does not easily support future development.</li>
</ul>
<p>In 2012, City Council directed Transportation Services to undertake an Environmental Assessment (EA) / Transportation Master Plan (TMP) in the area as part of its decision on the Highland Creek Village Area Study (Area Study) - Final Report to review the feasibility of changes to the area’s transportation network.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At its May 5 and 6, 2021 meeting, City Council endorsed the preferred street, pedestrian, and cycling network solutions associated with the Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan study and authorized the General Manager, Transportation Services to prepare the Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan based on the preferred street, cycling and pedestrian network solutions and issue the Notice of Completion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>City Council also directed the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to prepare an Official Plan Amendment to reflect the planned right-of-way widths and new street connections associated with the Transportation Master Plan (TMP).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report outlines the necessary amendments to the Official Plan that result from the recently completed and approved Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan (HCV TMP) study. The associated transportation improvements will be vital in helping achieve the overall planning objectives for the area. The attached draft Official Plan Amendment, which includes changes to Official Plan Map 3 (Right-of-Way Widths Associated with Existing Major Streets), Schedules 1 (Existing Minor Streets with Right-of-Way Widths Greater than 20 Metres) and 2 (The Designation of Planned but Unbuilt Roads), as well as to the Highland Creek Community Secondary Plan, implement the findings of the Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report also includes a summary of the outcomes of the recently completed and approved Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan undertaken under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process to consider transportation and servicing infrastructure needs in the Highland Creek Village area to support its current and longer-term redevelopment. Additional objectives included creating a balanced multi-modal transportation network, attracting investment to the community and improving the area’s various streetscapes, consistent with the vision for the area.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Highland Creek Village Transportation Master Plan's preferred solution provides a continuous, multi-modal transportation network that accommodates all users and will support reinvestment of City-owned land for public objectives once the Highland Creek Overpass is removed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The transportation network, streetscape and sidewalk improvements associated with the preferred solution provide a positive environment for pedestrians, support the City’s cycling network, and provide new bus routing opportunities for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). The preferred solution includes a number of improvements to the street network in the area including new signalized intersections, the widening of the Military Trail right-of-way to accommodate dedicated active transportation infrastructure, as well as the implementation of larger infrastructure projects, such as the removal of the Highland Creek Overpass and the conversion of Highway 2A between Lawson Road and Highland Creek to an arterial road. The more complex projects would require completion of additional phases of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, before confirming if they should proceed to detailed design and construction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The primary capital costs for the City could include improvements to Military Trail ($4.2 million), including potential signalization at Highway 2A and the potential dismantling of the Highland Creek Overpass ($7.5 million). As the Highland Creek Overpass was last reconstructed in 2000, and its service life is expected to continue to at least 2028 and beyond, it is not proposed for the City to make changes to this structure over the short-term, but rather to plan for its potential removal in the long-term. Regarding the improvements to the intersection of Military Trail and Highway 2A, it is important to note that the City is working to secure them through area development.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report recommends the approval of an Official Plan amendment that is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms with the Growth Plan. Approval of the Official Plan Amendment will enable the improvements identified in the preferred solution to be implemented and advance the Transportation Master Plan’s preferred solution of a multi-modal transportation network in Highland Creek Village.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services investigated the feasibility of removing the pedestrian refuge island (PRI) on McCowan Road, approximately 50 metres north of Big Red Avenue/Bridley Drive and replacing it with traffic control signals at the intersection of McCowan Road and Big Red Avenue/Bridley Drive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While our analysis indicates that based on the current motor vehicle volumes, delays and collisions, the installation of traffic control signals is not technically warranted, we are recommending the installation at McCowan Road and Big Red Avenue/Bridley Drive due to several factors:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pedestrian Refuge Island's do not provide right-of-way for pedestrians and are not considered an enhanced form of pedestrian crossing protection.</li>
<li>The heavy traffic on the four/five lane cross-section of McCowan Road poses potential safety concerns for pedestrians crossing at the pedestrian refuge island to access the Toronto Transit Commission bus shelters located on either side of McCowan Road in the vicinity of the pedestrian refuge island.</li>
<li>The distance between the nearest protected pedestrian crossings (traffic control signals) on McCowan Road is approximately 730 metres.</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, staff recommend relocating the Toronto Transit Commission bus shelters on both sides of McCowan Road, approximately 50 metres north of Big Red Avenue/Bridley Drive, to the intersection of McCowan Road and Big Red Avenue/Bridley Drive in conjunction with the installation of new traffic control signals and removal of the pedestrian refuge island.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The above recommendation will provide a safer and more convenient crossing of McCowan Avenue for all road users, including Toronto Transit Commission passengers.</p> |

| 136724 | REPORT | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | — | 1161 Kingston Road - Construction Staging Area Time Extension | 2024.SC16.27 | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>As Kingston Road is classified as a major arterial roadway, City Council approval of this report is required.</p>
<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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>City Council, at its meeting on July 24 and 25, 2024, authorized the subject construction staging areas, from June 27, 2024, to September 15, 2024. The developer originally requested the subject construction staging areas for a period of 11 months, ending on June 30, 2025. However, at the time of the report, the developer had planned to modify the construction staging area, as well as implement signal timing changes to address safety concerns and traffic congestion. Consequently, City Council only authorized the construction staging area for a two month period and directed Transportation Services to report back on the effectiveness of the aforementioned measures.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Based on further review, the additional traffic mitigation measures are satisfactory. As such, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging areas on Kingston Road and Courcelette Road for a period of seven and nine months, respectively.</p> | 16 | 27 | CCOUNCIL |
