| 136562 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | POSTPONE | — | N | — | City Initiated removal of Port Lands Interim Control By-law for 6 Leslie Street - Decision Report - Approval | 2024.TE16.7 | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>The purpose of this report is to recommend removing 6 Leslie Street from Interim Control By-law 979-2017 (the "ICBL"). By removing this site from the ICBL, the zoning for this site in Zoning By-law 438-86 will apply, permitting light industrial uses on site. The Port Lands Official Plan Amendment identified 6 Leslie Street is a future planned park with permitted interim uses, including light industrial uses that support production, interactive and creative industries ("PIC Core uses"). This is a city initiated zoning change.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The ICBL was adopted in 2017 and extended in 2018, to provide sufficient time for a zoning review to be completed for Port Lands employment-focused lands. The objective of this zoning review was to ensure consistency between the City Council-adopted Port Lands Area Specific Policy and implementing zoning. The four resulting zoning by-laws were adopted by Council in 2019 but were appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal and remain unresolved. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The site is owned by Toronto Port Lands Company and managed by CreateTO. The site is planned for a future extension of the adjacent Leslie Lookout Park. There are two existing vacant one-storey buildings on the site that have been used as a production and broadcasting facility in the past and, most recently, have been used as flex studio space.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Economic Development and Culture has identified 6 Leslie Street as a candidate for the "Music Rehearsal Spaces in the City of Toronto" pilot program, which was adopted by City Council on February 2, 2022. This pilot program would create an inventory of City-owned properties suitable for lease to rehearsal studio and production space operators at below-market rates.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>The proposal involves retaining the contributing buildings at 298-300 King Street East in situ and removing the later one-and-a-half storey rear addition on the north elevation at 300 King Street East. The remaining building fabric, including the buildings on the non-contributing properties, is proposed to be removed to accommodate new construction. The new construction is comprised of a 46-storey tower to the north of the retained buildings, a one-and-a-half storey 5.9 metre tall infill component at 296 King Street East and a three-storey podium and streetwall along Berkeley Street. The tower component is set back from the retained buildings by 15.1 metres and cantilevers approximately two metres over the retained buildings at the sixth-floor level, with three stepbacks from King Street East.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed development is consistent with the existing provincial and municipal policy framework and proposes an overall conservation strategy that is consistent with the SLHCD Plan and not contrary to the Plan’s Objectives.</p> |

<p>Summary from the revised report (September 13, 2024) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:<br />This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the designated heritage properties municipally known as 214, 218, 220, 222, 224, 226 and 230 Sherbourne Street under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in connection with the proposed development of the subject property. The Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and Site Plan Control applications for 214-230 Sherbourne Street are subject to a Heritage Permit application under the Ontario Heritage Act.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The subject site is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the Garden District Heritage Conservation District. A portion of the subject site, 230 Sherbourne Street (William Dineen House), is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by Designation By-law 496-2012.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On June 10, 2022, an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application was made for 214-230 Sherbourne Street. A Heritage Impact Assessment was prepared by ERA Architects Inc., dated September 13, 2022, and revised February 26, 2024, to assess the impact of the proposed development on the on-site heritage resource. A Heritage Impact Assessment Addendum was prepared by ERA Architects Inc., dated June 7, 2023, that considers the impact of a revised proposal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed development application contemplates a 46-storey residential tower (including mechanical penthouse) set atop a four-storey podium that incorporates 230 Sherbourne Street. The proposed alterations conserve the onsite and adjacent heritage buildings and are consistent with the policy framework. The heritage impacts of the development proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy.</p> |

The Deer Park community has raised concern over the traffic flows at this intersection, especially since caretakers and their children often use this intersection as a crossing to get to Deer Park Public School. To help address the community’s concerns, I worked with Transportation Services Staff over the summer to prepare additional signage and markings installations at the Yonge and Heath intersection to further guide traffic flows. In relation to the signage and markings installations, this motion will provide another layer of visibility for pedestrians when crossing this busy intersection at peak times.</p> | 16 | 67 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 12 - Toronto - St. Paul's | N | — | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | New |

This motion is a continuation of an already passed item, TE10.61, from January 2024’s Toronto-East York Community Council. TE10.61 relates to the Forest Hill Village BIA (FHVBIA) undertaking a streetscape redesign that required traffic by-law changes. While much of the necessary traffic by-law changes were implemented in the initial motion, certain physical streetscape alterations were not complete during the motion’s passage.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now that such physical streetscape installations are complete, this motion will ensure that the proper traffic by-law signage will correspond to the FHVBIA’s new streetscape.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services Staff have recommended the follow traffic by-law changes.</p> | 16 | 68 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 12 - Toronto - St. Paul's | N | 1728446400000 | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted |

In 2020, FHJSPS altered its drop-off and pick-up times to 8:30am and 2:45pm. Historically, the turn-restrictions in the school’s zone created a clockwise traffic flow by restricting two-way traffic during the school’s drop-off and pick-up times. With the passage of this motion, the turn-restrictions will again align with FHJSPS’s pick-up and drop-off times, making it safer for caretakers and schoolchildren getting to and from school. </p> | 16 | 69 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 12 - Toronto - St. Paul's | N | 1728446400000 | … | Letter | ACTION | Amended | New | — | — |
| 136793 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | — | Westover Hill Road - Turn Restrictions | 2024.TE16.70 | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>I am kindly asking for your support in amending the northbound left-turn prohibition on Westover Hill Road to help alleviate its daily traffic grid-lock condition, where vehicles often bypass major arterials to cut to Allen Road and get caught on Westover Hill Road with no safe opportunity to access Eglinton Avenue towards Allen Road.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services Staff have advised me, based on their technical analysis, that Westover Hill’s close proximity to the Allen, and absence of a traffic control signal at the intersection of Westover Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue West, significantly inhibits traffic flushing onto Eglinton Avenue West. This leads to extreme traffic backlogs both on Westover Hill Road and Eglinton Avenue in the approach to Allen Road. Although Westover Hill Road has existing left-turn prohibitions during peak times, wayfinding apps do not register the turn restrictions and staff advise that a daily 7am to 7pm turn-restriction will register with wayfinding apps to no longer direct traffic onto Westover Hill Road. The volume of cars using this route is relatively low, so there is no concern of impact of this extended restriction to other side streets, but the impact of the current condition makes Westover Hill near impassable and exacerbates congestion at the westbound approach to Eglinton Avenue and Allen Road.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since the Metrolinx-built intersection at Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road was installed in June 2023 as part of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT [see Item – 2012.CC17.1] congestion matters have persisted in the vicinity. While the City now has jurisdiction over the intersection and several critical adjustments have been made to improve operations of the intersection, neighbourhood streets north and south of Eglinton Avenue continue to be impacted by congestion caused by traffic destined for Allen Road. Through consultation with the community, the development of an area-wide plan aimed at alleviating the impact of this congestion on neighbourhood streets is being prepared, while longer term improvements to the Eglinton-Allen intersection are sought.</p> |

| 136776 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | — | Parking Amendments - Mercer Street | 2024.TE16.72 | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>The Nobu Restaurant and Hotel located at 35 Mercer Street has requested the implementation of three Passenger Loading Zones on Mercer Street to be utilized as a pick-up/drop-off area so that their valet team are able to ferry cars to and from the below grade parking levels. The commercial parking spaces utilize mechanical parking stackers which complicate their ability to have patrons retrieve their own vehicles and may provide significant delays and backups given the size of the restaurant and the expected popularity of the Nobu Brand.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Nobu Restaurant will encompass two and half floors, with bar and restaurant space on the ground floor, private dining and event space on the 2nd floor and back of house operations within the mezzanine levels. The restaurant is expecting to open in August 2024.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In consultation with Transportation Services, Toronto Parking Authority (TPA), Nobu Restaurant/Hotel representatives and my office, three passenger loading zones will be established on the south side of Mercer Street fronting the restaurant entrance. The passenger loading zones will operate at all times and will not negatively impact traffic, cycling or transit operation. Of note, the passenger loading zones cannot be established for the exclusive use of the applicant. Anyone will be able to use this space for the exclusive use to pick-up/drop-off passengers. Three paid parking spaces will be eliminated as a result, which Nobu Restaurant and Hotel has agreed to reimburse Toronto Parking Authority a loss of revenue fee of $111,840 in accordance with TPA Policy Resolution 2-12, “Cost Recovery - Permanent Removal of On-Street Meter Locations”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As part of the parking amendment noted above, Transportation Services conducted a detailed on-street parking review on Mercer Street. During their investigation, staff discovered various discrepancies between the traffic by-laws and posted parking regulations on this roadway. Therefore, additional parking amendments have been made on Mercer Street to better reflect current conditions and demand.</p> |
| 136795 | LETTER | N | N | NEW | ACTION | ADOPTED | — | N | — | Parking Amendments - Western Battery Road | 2024.TE16.73 | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>Building residents with accessibility needs on Western Battery Road report difficulty getting in and out of vehicles without a designed accessible loading zone. Transportation Services, in consultation with my office, is recommending that the existing on-street parking regulations on the east side of Western Battery Road between East Liberty Street and the driveway that services the condominium, be amended to allow for an Accessible Loading Zone regulation to operate at all times. Amendment of the parking by-laws on Western Battery Road, specifically fronting 19 Western Battery Road condominiums is necessary to address the existing issues.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The designation of an on-street accessible loading zone will result in the loss of two parking spaces and may be used by TTC Wheel-Trans or any vehicle displaying a valid "Accessible Parking Permit" while actively engaged in the pick-up or drop-off of a person with accessibility requirements. As such, this installation is recommended and will have minimal impact on local traffic or parking operations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In addition,Transportation Services recommends increasing the corner parking prohibition on the east side of Western Battery Road, just north of East Liberty Street from the current "No Parking Anytime" regulation to "No Stopping Anytime". This will help deter parking in this area improving sightlines and traffic operations.</p> | 16 | 73 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 10 - Spadina - Fort York |
