The Strategy is intended to be used to evaluate current and future development applications, as well as to inform road work, capital projects and any other public realm-oriented initiatives such as new parks and landscape improvements.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Strategy includes a vision for high-quality streetscapes, open spaces and right-of-way connections. It also outlines principles, guidelines and an implementation strategy to create a well-connected, walkable, attractive, safe, functional and accessible public realm. Embedded in the Strategy is also a comprehensive Neighbourhood Streets Plan</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Strategy provides direction and actions to:</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- improve and expand existing parkland;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- widen sidewalks through such measures as the removal of boulevard parking and generous building setbacks;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- install traffic calming measures for streets to improve safety, functionality and walkability;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- identify curb extensions and other road re-design opportunities to be pursued through redevelopment or through future capital projects;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- increase the tree canopy and provide opportunities for greening the public realm;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- increase the connectivity of mid-block connections throughout Liberty Village; and</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- identify gateways and view termini for future redevelopments.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Public Realm Strategy complements existing Official Plan policies and is intended to provide clarity on enhancements to the public realm through both public and private initiatives. The Strategy is the result of a multi-year study that benefitted from feedback from the local community, Ward Councillor and input from city staff in a variety of Divisions. It has also integrated the concurrent review of major development applications.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services conducted a Neighbourhood Streets Plan that reviewed traffic management and road safety in parallel to the development of the Public Realm Strategy. The Liberty Village Streets Plan (LVSP) responds to transportation concerns and opportunities for improvements raised by the community. The LVSP assessed the existing conditions in Liberty Village, and developed a set of recommended changes to the streets.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report summarizes the LVSP findings and recommendations. Recommended changes include installation of traffic calming measures, intersection safety improvements, sightline improvements, conversion of boulevard parking to new sidewalk or other public realm improvements, and new sidewalks. A companion report titled "Traffic Calming (Speed Humps) - Western Battery Road" has been submitted to the April 3, 2024 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council on this matter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A Precinct Parking Study was also completed to assess the existing and future parking supply and demand in the area. There are expected to be adequate parking facilities in the neighbourhood to meet expected demand, but acute issues related to the location, price, and type of parking facility may occur. A number of recommendations have been developed to help address these issues.</p> |

<p>Summary from the report (March 12, 2024) from the Acting Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report recommends that City Council include three properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for their cultural heritage value and interest.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The three properties being recommended for inclusion on the Register are as follows:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- 134 Carlton Street, Toronto Centre - Ward 13</p>
<p>- 50 Richmond Street East, Toronto Centre - Ward 13</p>
<p>- 860 Richmond Street West (including the entrance address at 862 Richmond Street West), Spadina-Fort York – Ward 10</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The subject properties include a three-storey apartment building on Carlton Street across from Allan Gardens, a five-storey factory / warehouse type building on Richmond Street East, and a three-storey factory / warehouse type building on Richmond Street West.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The three properties recommended for inclusion on the City’s Heritage Register have been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed in Ontario Regulation 9/06 and meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest and are believed to be of cultural heritage value or interest.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (the Act) through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Act, as amended, a municipal heritage register may include properties that have not been designated but Council believes to be of “cultural heritage value or interest", and that meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining whether they are of cultural heritage value or interest. The Act now also limits listing to a period of two years.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As of January 1, 2023, should a property be subject to an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and / or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application, properties must be listed on the heritage register prior to Part IV designation and before the occurrence of a prescribed event. A prescribed event is a point of time when the application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and / or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application has been deemed complete and the City Clerk provides notice of that complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The listing of non-designated properties on the municipal heritage register under the Act also extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Act should a development or demolition application be submitted.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Heritage Impact Assessments are required for development applications that affect listed properties.</p> |
| 133431 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | ADOPTED | 54000000 | N | 350 Bloor Street East - Demolition of a Designated Heritage Property with Conditions | 2024.TE12.18 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>This report recommends that City Council approve the demolition of the designated heritage property at 350 Bloor Street East under Section 34(1)2 of the Ontario Heritage Act subject to conditions. The conditions are to ensure that the replacement structure appropriately commemorates the original building by being designed and constructed in accordance with the approved plans and drawings referenced in this report and by including the reinstatement of the precast concrete panels of the existing building on the podium of the new building. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The existing 6-storey building at 350 Bloor Street East was built into the upper portion of the Rosedale Valley Ravine's south embankment in 1968-1970 to the designs of renowned Modernist architect, John C. Parkin. It is a significant representative example of architectural precast concrete in Toronto. It features an identical expression on its principal (south), west and north elevations with the precast concrete cladding creating wedge-shaped columns and deep inset window openings above a recessed, transparent base. The property is designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and the precast concrete cladding panels are identified as heritage attributes of the building in the designation by-law 799-2023.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On August 30, 2022, the City received Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application related to the proposed redevelopment of the subject property (File No. 22 172660 STE 11 OZ). The proposal seeks to permit a 63-storey mixed-use building on the subject site containing 675 new dwelling units. The application proposes to demolish the historic Parkin building to facilitate this development.

<p> </p>
<p>Summary from the report (February 26, 2024) from the Acting Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report recommends that City Council approve the demolition of the designated heritage property at 350 Bloor Street East under Section 34(1)2 of the Ontario Heritage Act subject to conditions. The conditions are to ensure that the replacement structure appropriately commemorates the original building by being designed and constructed in accordance with the approved plans and drawings referenced in this report and by including the reinstatement of the precast concrete panels of the existing building on the podium of the new building. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The existing 6-storey building at 350 Bloor Street East was built into the upper portion of the Rosedale Valley Ravine's south embankment in 1968-1970 to the designs of renowned Modernist architect, John C. Parkin. It is a significant representative example of architectural precast concrete in Toronto. It features an identical expression on its principal (south), west and north elevations with the precast concrete cladding creating wedge-shaped columns and deep inset window openings above a recessed, transparent base. The property is designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and the precast concrete cladding panels are identified as heritage attributes of the building in the designation by-law 799-2023.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On August 30, 2022, the City received Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application related to the proposed redevelopment of the subject property (File Number 22 172660 STE 11 OZ). The proposal seeks to permit a 63-storey mixed-use building on the subject site containing 675 new dwelling units. The application proposes to demolish the historic Parkin building to facilitate this development. To mitigate the loss of this designated building the proposal includes a commemoration strategy that would include constructing the podium of the new building to replicate the appearance of the original building including the re-use of the original pre-cast concrete panels on its south, west and north facades.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The demolition of heritage buildings is not normally supported by staff. In this case options to conserve and incorporate parts of the original Parkin building in a new building on this site were sought. Structural issues and construction access constraints however prevented meaningful conservation of the existing building in a way that retained the integrity of the original building within a redeveloped site that included a tower to provide additional housing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The cultural heritage value and heritage attributes of this Parkin building are directly tied to the non-structural pre-cast cladding that is connected, with concealed anchors, to the building's perimeter beams.

<p> </p>
<p>In May and August 2022, the City received Official Plan Amendment, Site Plan Control and Zoning By-law Amendment applications related to the proposed redevelopment of the subject properties to permit a 31-storey mixed-use building atop a seven-storey podium, containing 492 new rental dwelling units (including 408 new affordable units) and 1,356 square metres of non-residential gross floor area.

<p> </p>
<p>The subject property at 171 Lowther Avenue is within the West Annex neighbourhood, located mid-block on the south side of Lowther Avenue, between Walmer Road and Dalton Street. Constructed between 1901 and 1902, it is a representative example of an early twentieth century residential structure blending elements of the Queen Anne Revival and Edwardian Classicism styles. The property was designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act through By-law 102-2024 enacted February 7, 2024.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In conjunction with an Official Plan and Zoning Amendment Application (23 223597 STE 11 OZ), the redevelopment proposes an 11-storey residential building containing 64 units at 171-175 Lowther Avenue. The new construction connects to the southwest corner of the heritage building, which would be integrated into the new development for residential and amenity uses. The upper floors of the building are stepped back approximately 10.7 metres from the face of the heritage building and is free of projections. The heritage building’s principal façade and front half of the east and west elevations which contain the property’s heritage attributes, will be retained in-situ, with the latter half of east and west elevations and roof to be reconstructed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage property at 171 Lowther Avenue. Staff are satisfied that the impacts have been appropriately mitigated through the overall proposed conservation strategy and that the cultural heritage values, attributes, and character of the designated heritage property at 171 Lowther Avenue will be conserved.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>The subject site is a "C-rated" property located in the North Rosedale Heritage Conservation District (HCD). The applicant is requesting retro-active approval of alterations to the property that have already occurred. The alterations include the staining of the stone on the two-storey bay window on the front of the house, the installation of new windows that do not match the originals, the enlargement of a ground floor front window opening and alterations to the bay window in the front porch. These alterations do not comply with the policies in the North Rosedale HCD Plan or the Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (the official document guiding planning and conservation of heritage properties in the City of Toronto). As such staff are recommending that this application be refused.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The owners have also requested permission under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act to explore the potential of steam cleaning the stone on the front of this designated building. Full details of the proposed steam cleaning have not been submitted to assess the impact on this heritage building and as such it is recommended that permission is refused for this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If City Council refuses to grant approval for the alterations noted above Heritage Planning staff will work with the owners to find solutions to restore the historic character and appearance of the designated property at 137 Roxborough Drive in accordance with the requirements of the Ontario Heritage Act, the Official Plan and the North Rosedale HCD Plan.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>On August 4, 2022, Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control applications were submitted to permit an 80-metre (20-storey) mixed-use building for the subject property. These applications proposed alterations to and demolition of attributes at the Walmer Road Baptist Church sanctuary and the demolition the Memorial Building and Sunday School building which are located to the at 188 Lowther Avenue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On May 31, 2023, the applicant appealed the Zoning By-law Amendment application and referred the Site Plan Control application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) due to Council not making a decision within the time frame in the Planning Act.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On July 19, 2023, City Council adopted the staff report recommending designation of the subject property at 38 Walmer Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On October 11, 2023 City Council directed the City Solicitor, together with City Planning staff and appropriate City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing to oppose the Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control applications in their current form.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On December 13, 2023 an application under Sections 33, 34(1)1 and 34(1)2 of the Ontario Heritage Act was submitted to alter the property and demolish heritage attributes and demolish two buildings to allow for the construction of a 20-storey mixed-use building on the subject lands. This report recommends that this application is refused as it has not been demonstrated that the cultural heritage value and attributes of the heritage property will be conserved consistent with the heritage planning policy framework, or that the heritage impacts of the proposal would be appropriately mitigated.</p> |

The thirteen properties recommended for inclusion on the Heritage Register include three properties on Elm Street between Yonge and Bay streets, and ten properties on River Street north of Queen Street East. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The three properties located along Elm Street extending eastward to Yonge Street include two Georgian Revival style house-form buildings, and one mixed-use Second Empire style building, all of which support a unique and evolved streetscape in what was once the historically significant St. John’s Ward (also known as “The Ward”).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The second group of ten properties are located on River Street, north of Queen Street East and south of Regent Park, and include eight Bay-and-Gable style, semi-detached house-form buildings and two Romanesque Revival style, semi-detached house-form buildings which were retained through community activism in the development of Trefann Court that marked a dramatic change in approach to urban renewal projects in the area.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The thirteen properties being recommended for inclusion on the Register are as follows:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>346 Yonge Street (including entrance addresses 1, 3, and 5 Elm Street),</p>
<p>University-Rosedale – Ward 11</p>

<p>The subject properties recommended for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register have been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed in Ontario Regulation 9/06 and meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest and are believed to be of cultural heritage value or interest.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On January 1, 2023, amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) came into effect. Under the Ontario Heritage Act, as amended, a municipal heritage register may include properties for a period of two years that have not been designated but Council believes to be of "cultural heritage value or interest", and that meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining whether they are of cultural heritage value or interest. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Ontario Heritage Act also states that should a property be subject to an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application, properties must be listed on the heritage register prior to Part IV designation and before the occurrence of a prescribed event. A prescribed event is a point of time when the application for an Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision Application has been deemed complete and the City Clerk provides notice of that complete application to the public in accordance with the Planning Act. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed properties. Following further research and evaluation, staff may recommend designation of the property under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and seek appropriate conservation.</p> |

<p>RDH Architects Inc has undertaken the construction of a 4-storey University of Toronto student residence at 15 Devonshire Place. In addition, Pomerleau has been retained as the construction manager to construct a new University of Toronto building at 100 Devonshire Place. Both sites are located on Devonshire Place, between Bloor Street West and Hosking Avenue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>15 Devonshire Place (Time Extension and Revisions)</p>
<p>At its meeting on January 6, 2022, Toronto and East York Community Council approved the closure of the east sidewalk and a portion of the northbound curb lane from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2024.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As such, Transportation Services is requesting authorization to closure the northbound curb traffic lane on Devonshire Place for a period of 14 months from April 30, 2024 to June 30, 2025 to accommodate construction staging operations. Pedestrian operations on the east side of Devonshire Place will be maintained in a 2.1 metre-wide covered and protected walkway within the closed northbound lane. It should be noted that at the time of the original approval, the developer indicated they would be able to maintain two-way, north-south traffic operation on Devonshire Place. Since then, the developer determined that a larger space would be required in order to proceed with the construction. In addition, the increased footprint of the construction staging area will result in the closure of the northbound traffic lane. Consequently, Devonshire Place, between Bloor Street West and Hoskins Avenue will be temporarily converted to a southbound one-way traffic operation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>100 Devonshire Place</p>
<p>Transportation Services is requesting authorization to close the west sidewalk, and the southbound traffic lane on Devonshire Place for a period of 32 months, from April 30, 2024 to December 31, 2026 to facilitate construction staging operations. Pedestrian movements on the west side of Devonshire Place abutting the site will be restricted and pedestrians will be directed to the east sidewalk on Devonshire Place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To provide the extra space needed to facilitate construction staging operations and maintain safe and efficient movement of traffic in the vicinity of the work areas at 15 and 100 Devonshire Place, Devonshire Place will be converted to one-way southbound traffic operations between Bloor Street West and Hoskin Avenue.</p> |

<p> </p>
<p>Since its opening and expansion, Ambassador Pizza has contributed significantly to the vibrancy and growth of the area. They have served as an important partner in providing free meals to agencies and groups servicing unhoused residents – speaking to their commitment to the wider community.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ambassador Pizza received notice in late 2023 that the sidewalk patio they inherited that same year was not permitted. The owners have actively worked with City staff and my office to secure the proper permits to operate, including by removing structures not in compliance with patio rules. Given the circumstances of this unique challenge and Ambassador Pizza’s continued cooperation, it is vital we support this local business as patio season nears.</p> | 12 | 66 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 9 - Davenport | N | … | Letter |
