| 136965 | REPORT | N | N | MAIN | ACTION | DEFERIND | 54000000 | N | City Initiated removal of Port Lands Interim Control By-law for 6 Leslie Street - Decision Report - Approval | 2024.TE17.7 | — | — | 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> |

The site is immediately adjacent to the Woodbine TTC station.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed development includes 45,766 square metres of Gross Floor Area, of which 3,492 square metres are allocated to non-residential uses. The proposed non-residential uses include a grocery store and theatre space in the west building and daycare space in the east building. The application also proposes a total of 606 residential units, including 14 rental replacement units and 12 affordable rental units. One level of underground parking will serve both buildings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and the Provincial Planning Statement (2024). It conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposed development also conforms to the City's Official Plan, including Site and Area Specific Policy 552 implementing Segment 1 of the Danforth Planning Study from Coxwell Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law. The proposed mixed-use buildings fit with the existing and planned context of the surrounding area. The mix of residential unit types including affordable rental units, as well as the proposed daycare space, theatre space and commercial component, assists in the creation of complete communities by providing mixed-use intensification around a transit station.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report also reviews and recommends approval of the Rental Housing Demolition application. The proposal includes full replacement of the existing 14 rental dwelling units, and a Tenant Relocation and Assistance Plan that addresses the right for existing tenants to return to replacement rental dwelling units at similar rents and financial assistance to mitigate hardship.</p> |

<p>Summary from the report (October 1, 2024) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report recommends that City Council refuse an application under Section 34(1)2 of the Ontario Heritage Act (the "OHA") to demolish the pair of cottages at 40-44 Mitchell Avenue, which are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Located on the north side of Mitchell Avenue, the subject properties contain a pair of single-storey semi-detached workers' cottages that are rare, early surviving examples of this typology in Toronto. They are one of the last remaining pairs of the original sixteen pairs of workers' cottages completed in 1858 by James Lukin Robinson on the former Military lands east of Garrison Creek. Collectively and known historically as the Robinson Cottages or Garrison Common Cottages, only six pairs remain, located at 40-44 and 71-75 Mitchell Avenue and 703-705, 719-721, 735-737 and 753-755 Richmond Street West.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Among the first residential buildings constructed in the area, they are important reminders of the origins of the Niagara Street neighbourhood, where they define, support and maintain the historical character. The semi-detached houses feature the near-square plans, low hipped roofs and symmetrical placement of the door and window openings inspired by the bungalow that originated in India, which influenced the early-19th century Regency Cottage and, on a more modest scale, the vernacular workers' cottage.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>An application under Section 34(1)2 of the Act has been submitted to demolish the pair of cottages at 40-44 Mitchell Avenue to allow for the construction of two new three-storey residential buildings. Consent and minor variance applications B0026/21TEY, A0272/21TEY and A0273/21TEY were submitted for the proposal in 2021. The consent application is currently under appeal at the Toronto Local Appeal Body (the "TLAB"), and the hearing for the minor variance applications were deferred by the Committee of Adjustment. A Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing date has not been set as it is anticipated that revised plans and minor variances will be submitted shortly, which may also be the subject of appeals and would be consolidated with the consent appeal.

The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is due to concerns that falling branches may damage the roof; the trunk may cause damage to the property line fence; and the tree is growing in restricted soil volume which may limit the tree’s growth and negatively impact its health.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The European beech tree (Fagus sylvatica fastigiata) measures 34 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied, and the applicant is appealing the decision. Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant wishes to appeal the denial of a permit of a tree protected under the By-laws.</p> | 17 | 14 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 11 - University - Rosedale | N | … | Report | ACTION |

<p> </p>
<p>Prior to revitalization, Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) tenants in Regent Park had above ground parking lots with parking for their tenants. Through revitalization and with the start of Phases 4 and 5 construction, Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) tenants have now lost this above ground parking. Limited underground parking within Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) buildings has instead been made available.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At the June 11, 2024 Toronto and East York Community Council meeting, a motion that exempted the petition and polling requirements to implement permit parking in the Regent Park neighbourhood was approved. This motion is to limit buildings that can access future permit parking to tenants within Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) buildings. Due to the immense desirability of permit parking in the downtown, this measure would provide an equity lens that would deliver affordable permit parking spaces to Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) tenants.</p> | 17 | 48 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 13 - Toronto Centre | N | … |

<p> </p>
<p>Pedestrian safety has been a critical focus of my office. While reviewing existing traffic calming in Regent Park, my staff, in discussion with community members and with lived experience, identified these four streets that had the potential for traffic calming measures. Future traffic calming measures will be considered as Regent Park Phases 4 and 5 moves forward. </p> | 17 | 49 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 13 - Toronto Centre | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | New | Delegated | — | Community Council |

<p> </p>
<p>The Bay Cloverhill Community Association has raised concerns brought by local residents about difficulties facilitating deliveries, ride-share and other vehicles for buildings near Yonge Street and St. Joseph Street. Vehicles are often parking or standing in No Parking zones, blocking parking garages and sometimes double parking on both sides of the street.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A proper passenger pick-up/drop off zone as well as a commercial loading zone would help provide a pick-up drop-off zone for vehicles and help manage traffic in the area.</p> | 17 | 50 | CCOUNCIL | TE | 13 - Toronto Centre | N | … | Letter | ACTION | Adopted | New | Delegated | — |
