<p>This report recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the development of a 24-storey mixed-use building with a 7-storey podium at 3718 and 3730 Kingston Road. A total gross floor area of 30,905 square metres is proposed, consisting of 30,233 square metres of residential gross floor area (419 residential units) and 672 square metres of non-residential gross floor area resulting in a floor space index (FSI) of 5.25 times the area of the lot.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement 2024 (PPS 2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan. The proposal will intensify an underutilized site along an <em>Avenue</em> that is well served by both surface transit and emerging higher order transit networks through the Eglinton East Light Rail (EELRT).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.</p>

2650 Lawrence Avenue East - Official Plan Amendment Application and Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Appeal Report
2026.SC29.2
Y
Y
Y
Y
<p>On November 30, 2022, a Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to permit the development of a 25-storey residential building and a 35-storey mixed-use building, each with an eight-storey podium, a shared three-level underground parking garage and a public park on a portion of the lands municipally known as 2650 Lawrence Avenue East. This application was subsequently revised in August 2025, increasing the proposed heights to 33 storeys and 43 storeys, along with an increased unit count and gross floor area while deleting the proposed park.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A separate Official Plan Amendment application was submitted on August 13, 2025, concurrently with the revised Zoning By-law Amendment application. The proposed amendment would apply to the entirety of the lands at 2650 Lawrence Ave East. It seeks to amend Official Plan Policy 3.4.8, which requires that development be set back from locations where flooding presents a significant risk to life and property by at least 10 metres or more, depending on the severity of existing or potential natural hazards.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On August 20, 2025, the applicant appealed the Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (the "OLT") due to City Council failing to make a decision within the prescribed time frames in the <em>Planning Act</em>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On January 13, 2026, the applicant appealed the Official Plan Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal due to City Council failing to make a decision within the prescribed time frames in the <em>Planning Act</em>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report recommends that the City Solicitor together with 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 outstanding issues.</p>

Nantucket Boulevard - Parking Amendments
2026.SC29.9
Y
Y
Y
Y
<p>This staff report is about a matter that Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Transportation Services is recommending that the existing parking prohibition on the east side of Nantucket Boulevard, south of Wickware Gate, be amended to allow parking between the months of November and April. The proposed amendment will provide on-street parking for the use of employees working at the City of Toronto's winter maintenance depot, located at 1 Nantucket Boulevard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When plowing and salting is activated during winter events, operators drive to the depot from across the region. Parking has been maximized within the depot but there is not enough space on-site for all employee’s private vehicles. The proposed changes will not impact the operation of Nantucket Boulevard, which is wide enough to maintain two-way traffic and double-sided parking, and will add approximately 30 on-street spaces.</p>

<p>I am requesting to reopen Item SC28.24 - Waldock Street - Parking Zones Adjustments, which was adopted by the Scarborough Community Council on January 13, 2026.</p>

<p>Transportation Services identified that the original wording in Recommendation 1 omitted the reference to the north side of Waldock Street, and Recommendation 2 did not include the street name or specify the side of the street.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As the original approval occurred less than one year ago, Council procedures require that the previously approved item be re-opened in order to amend parking regulations.</p>

Upton Road - Parking Amendment
2026.SC29.14
Y
Y
Y
Y
<p>Local businesses have raised concerns about vehicles stopping along the south side of Upton Road, as it can limit maneuverability and create operational challenges by occasionally obstructing industrial driveways. In this commercial area, on-street stopping can interfere with loading activity, delivery access, and the efficient movement of vehicles, particularly during peak business hours or winter conditions when snow storage further narrows the roadway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Expanding the existing restriction would help improve overall roadway operations and reduce the potential for vehicle conflicts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed change is supported by Toronto Police Service Parking Enforcement, who have identified the operational benefits of a clearer curbside area in maintaining safe and orderly traffic movement within the business district, as well as by Enforcement and Street Management, Transportation Services, which has submitted a technical memorandum.</p>
