| 139958 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | AMENDED | N | Growing Glencairn Phase 1 Report: Emerging Vision and Guiding Principles | 2025.NY23.7 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>This report provides an update on Phase 1 of the Growing Glencairn Study and recommends endorsement of the Emerging Vision and Guiding Principles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In July 2022, the area surrounding Glencairn Subway Station was identified as being below the minimum planned density requirement of 200 people and jobs per hectare required by the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024. More recently, the neighbourhoods surrounding Marlee Avenue and Glencairn Subway Station ("Marlee-Glencairn") have been experiencing a high level of development interest, particularly in the area west of William R. Allen Road. This area includes six active development applications (under review or appeal) that collectively propose eight tall residential and mixed-use buildings ranging from 19-39 storeys, with a total of 3,544 housing units.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Initiated in August 2024, Growing Glencairn is a comprehensive local area study that will establish a planning framework to guide and manage growth around Glencairn Subway Station to 2051, including area based policies, delineation of a Protected Major Transit Station Area, and an implementation strategy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Emerging Vision and Guiding Principles were developed based on community input, as well as technical analysis of opportunities, constraints, and priorities. Marlee-Glencairn is envisioned as a vibrant, resilient and inclusive neighbourhood, with Marlee Avenue as the thriving commercial main street and community heart, and well connected through a safe and enhanced mobility and public realm network that builds on the Allen Greenway and York and Kay Gardiner Beltline Trails. The Emerging Vision is supported by the following six Guiding Principles, with further details provided on Attachment 1.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- A vibrant community with access to daily needs featuring pedestrian-oriented streets that support activity and public life, with a thriving Marlee Avenue as the commercial and community heart</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- A welcoming and connected public realm (e.g. parks, open spaces, trails, streets, plazas) that supports residents’ health and well-being for all ages and abilities;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- A safe, accessible and well-connected mobility network that builds on existing infrastructure (e.g. roads, transit stations, pedestrian and cycling networks) and offers a range of viable travel options to enhance connectivity within Marlee-Glencairn and to the broader city and region.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- A full range of housing types and forms that continue to provide choice and variety to meet the needs of current and future residents, including an aging demographic in Marlee-Glencairn, with growth supported by adequate and timely infrastructure;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- A range of community-focused services and facilities (e.g. child care centres, schools, human service agencies, community recreation centres, libraries) and placemaking opportunities that fulfill the community needs and cultivate health and well-being as the neighbourhood grows; and</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- A green and climate-resilient neighbourhood that incorporates best practices to contribute to long-term health and well-being of residents and facilitates adaptability and equity in the face of climate change.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report recommends endorsement of the Emerging Vision and Guiding Principles as the basis for options development and further community engagement throughout Phases 2 and 3 of the Study.</p> |

The application seeks to amend the Official Plan, specifically the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 405) to permit a revised 35-storey building and to seek an exemption from the policy for replacement of the demolished office gross floor area. The proposed redevelopment consists of a proposed 35-storey mixed-use building containing 357 dwelling units, including 8 affordable housing units and commercial gross floor area of 108 square metres.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On December 16, 2024, the applicant appealed the Official Plan Amendment Application to the Ontario Land Tribunal due to Council’s failure to make a decision within the time frame in the Planning Act. A case management conference took place on March 26, 2025. There are related Zoning By-law Amendment (City File 21 219614 NNY 15 OZ) and Site Plan Control (City File 21 237238 NNY 15 SA) applications which were appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal and were consolidated with this appeal at the case management conference. An 8 day hearing for the consolidated appeals has been scheduled to commence on October 15, 2025.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This Report recommends that the City Solicitor with the appropriate City Staff attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing to oppose the application in its current form and to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve any outstanding issues.</p> | 23 | 8 | CCOUNCIL |
| 139947 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | AMENDED | N | 895 Lawrence Avenue East - Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment - Decision Report - Appeal | 2025.NY23.9 | — | — | Y | Y | Y | Y | <p>This Report recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the development of three residential tower buildings, of which one will contain retail on the ground floor, at 895 Lawrence Avenue East. The proposed towers have heights of 26 storeys (85.05 metres, plus 8 metres mechanical penthouse), 32 storeys (103.05 metres, plus 8 metres mechanical penthouse), and 34 storeys (109.25 metres, plus 8 metres mechanical penthouse). The application proposes 1,194 residential units, 496.26 square metres of retail gross floor area, and a Floor Space Index of 9.98. A privately owned publicly accessible space is proposed at the northeast corner of the site, abutting the intersection of Lawrence Avenue East and The Donway West. The proposal also includes two north / south pedestrian paths; one central to the site and one on the west limit of the site.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Staff are of the opinion the proposed scale and massing of the development is inappropriate for the subject site. Presently, the Central Don Mills Secondary Plan provides direction that development is to be taller and denser within the ring road (The Donways East and West) and to generally preserve and protect stable residential neighbourhoods, which typically lie outside of the ring road. In addition, the Central Don Mills Secondary Plan currently permits a maximum density of 1 times the lot area for lands designated Mixed Use Areas due to limited transportation infrastructure capacity and a maximum height of 530 feet above sea level (but no more than 8 storeys) for lands designated Mixed Use Areas ‘C’. The applicant has not provided adequate justification that the planned transportation infrastructure can adequately support the proposed density of 9.98 times the lot area nor that the proposed heights are appropriate for the site in relation to the existing and planned context. Furthermore, the proposed scale and massing generate unsafe wind conditions throughout key pedestrian areas of the site.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is acknowledged that the applicant has filed an Official Plan Amendment to modify the Central Don Mills Secondary Plan in order to deviate from the Plan’s policy direction; however, at this time the proposal in its current form cannot be accepted given its location and existing policy framework / structure and other planning considerations. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In light of the above-noted policy factors, Staff are of the opinion that the proposed development is of an inappropriate height, scale, and massing and represents overdevelopment in an area that is not supported through the City’s existing policy framework. Staff recommend refusal of the application, and that the applicant consider modifying the proposal.</p> |

The towers were proposed to be 17 and 22 storeys tall (59 metres and 74.4 metres plus 8 metres mechanical penthouses) and the shared podium was proposed to be 6 storeys tall (23.75 metres). The proposal provided 438 dwelling units throughout the building and 1,513 square metres of retail space within the base building.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Subsequently, the subject site and associated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application were sold. On December 10, 2024, the new owners submitted revised materials under the same Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application with a new proposal for the City's consideration (“Revised Proposal”).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Revised Proposal proposes to redevelop the site with 3 residential towers, of which one tower (the East Tower) would provide retail space at the ground floor. The revised application proposes 1,194 residential units throughout the 3 towers and 496.26 square metres of retail space.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed heights of the 3 towers are as follows:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- North Tower: 26 storeys (85.05 metres plus 8 metres mechanical penthouse)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- East Tower: 32 storeys (103.05 metres plus 8 metres mechanical penthouse)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- South Tower: 34 storeys (109.25 metres plus 8 metres mechanical penthouse)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All three towers are proposed to have podiums of 7 storeys (25.15 metres).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A privately owned publicly accessible space (POPS) is proposed at the northeast corner of the site, abutting the intersection of Lawrence Avenue East and The Donway West. Two north / south pedestrian paths are proposed within the development: one through the middle of the site and one at the western limit of the site.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On April 10, 2025, Staff submitted a report to North York Community Council titled 895 Lawrence Avenue East - Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment – Decision Report – Refusal which recommends that Council refuse the application to amend the Official Plan and zoning by-law. On April 23, 2025, Staff submitted a revised version of the report with minor corrections. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>On April 14, 2025, the applicant appealed the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (the “OLT”) due to Council not making a decision within the statutorily prescribed time frame in the Planning Act.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report deletes the original recommendations and replaces them with new ones as set out in this report given the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application application has been appealed. Staff now recommend that the City Solicitor, with the appropriate City staff, attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing and oppose the application in its current form and continue discussions with the applicant to resolve outstanding issues.</p> |

The proposal includes 325 dwelling units, including 22 rental replacement units.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposal represents an efficient use of the lands while contributing to the range and mix of housing in the area and provides rental replacement units in a compact built form with access to new amenities. The intensification of the site with the proposed residential building is appropriate given that it addresses the relevant development criteria for Apartment Neighbourhoods, as well as other relevant policy directions. The development fits with the existing and planned context and provides enhancements to the public realm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024). The proposal is also conforms with the general intent of the City’s Official Plan, and has appropriate regard for the Council-adopted Renew Sheppard East Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 777).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A related Rental Housing Demolition application (22 113874 NNY 17 RH) has also been submitted as the proposed development includes the demolition of 22 rental dwelling units. The proposal includes replacement of all 22 units with new units of the same type and of similar size, and a Tenant Assistance Plan that addresses the right for eligible tenants to return to replacement rental dwelling units at similar rents and financial assistance to lessen hardship. An approval report for the Rental Housing Demolition application has been advanced concurrently with this Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment approval report.</p> |

<p>The 22 rental units are proposed to be replaced as part of the new development on the site. The proposal includes a Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan that addresses the right to return to a replacement rental unit of the same type at similar rent, and provides other assistance to mitigate hardship.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Transportation Services is recommending a five-minute maximum parking limit, in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the south side of Elvina Gardens, between a point 19 metres east of Mount Pleasant Road and a point 13 metres further east. Within these limits Transportation Services also recommend a standing prohibition in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. Currently, there is one-hour maximum parking limit in effect from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, on the entire south side of Elvina Gardens.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed changes will provide two, five-minute maximum parking spaces to facilitate student drop-off and pick-up activity in front of a private school located on the south side of Elvina Gardens.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>During the course of our investigation, it was noted that there is a discrepancy between posted signs and the existing parking regulations. Recommendation 6 will correct this inconsistency.</p> | 23 | 16 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 15 - Don Valley West | N | … | Report | ACTION |

<p>Transportation Services and Development Review are requesting approval for various parking and traffic regulations, proposed under the Assumption of services report for the development at 243-255 Consumers Road, to be implemented on William Sylvester Drive and Shinleaf Terrace. William Sylvester Drive and Shinleaf Terrace have been dedicated as public road allowances. Currently there are no traffic or parking regulations on these two streets. The proposed traffic regulations are consistent with City policies and guidelines given the operation of the roadways and surrounding commercial / employment nature.</p> | 23 | 18 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 17 - Don Valley North | N | … | Report | ACTION | Adopted | Main | Delegated | — |

<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services is recommending that the existing 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday parking prohibition on the north side of Green Belt Drive, between Don Mills Road and Nob Lane, be rescinded between a point 85 metres east of Don Mills Road and a point 50 metres further east. This will result in the unsigned statutory three-hour maximum parking limit being in effect in this area. This change is to provide parking for visitors and support workers at the Don Mills Retirement Residence, which is located on the north side of the street.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>During the course of the investigation, it was noted that the existing parking regulation has an incorrect street name. Recommendations 1 and 2 will correct this error.</p> | 23 | 20 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 16 - Don Valley East | N | … | Report | ACTION | Adopted | Main | Delegated |

Since December 2024, various measures, especially traffic light adjustments at Leslie Street and Work Zone Construction coordination, have provided some relief. However, congestion still results in lengthy back-ups almost every workday, plus whenever incidents or lane restrictions due to construction add traffic volume onto Eglinton Avenue East west of Laird Drive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The situation has become untenable for many constituents on nearby residential streets, especially Donlea Drive, which runs parallel to Eglinton Avenue East. Traffic apps like Waze and Google Maps direct traffic, including trucks, onto local roads, blocking driveways, impeding access for emergency vehicles and leading to unsafe driving behaviour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The situation is dire, and residents support implementing additional congestion mitigation measures to address traffic infiltration, including turn prohibitions. Transportation Services staff have reviewed the recommendations.</p> | 23 | 26 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 15 - Don Valley West | N | … | Letter |

A section of the road from Cassandra Boulevard to Rustywood Drive is 40 kilometres per hour, while the remaining stretch from Rustywood Drive to Bevridge Drive / Mission Drive is 50 kilometres per hour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Several residents have approached me requesting the speed limit become consistent for the whole road, making all of Avonwick Gate 40 kilometres per hour. Reasons for implementing a speed change include:</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- The desire to reduce vehicle operating speed and improve pedestrian safety.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- The need for a consistent posted speed limit in proximity of Annunciation Catholic School located at 65 Avonwick Gate, where the current speed limit is currently 40 kilometres per hour.</p> | 23 | 27 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 16 - Don Valley East | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | Main |

During school pickup and drop-off hours, vehicles parked on the street can cause major disruptions to the flow of traffic, and can cause conflicts between parked vehicles on both sides of the road.

<p> </p>
<p>As these issues are only present during the school hours, the parking restrictions will only be in effect from September 1st to June 30th of the following year. On Plewes Road, which is the northmost street and runs parallel with the school’s property, the restrictions only apply during pickup and drop-off hours. On Spalding Road, the timeframe is from 8:00am to 6:00pm. On Katherine Road, the timeframe is from 9:00am to 5:00pm.</p> | 23 | 29 | CCOUNCIL | NY | 6 - York Centre | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Amended | New |
