(November 6, 2020) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District
Summary
The owner of the site at 80 Thirtieth Street has appealed the Zoning By-law Amendment
application for these lands to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) citing City Council's
failure to make a decision on the application within the time period prescribed under the
Planning Act. A Case Management Conference has been requested.
The application proposes to amend City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit 14 back-to-
back townhouse units in one block. The proposed townhouse units would be 4-storeys (14.5
metres) in height and have a total residential gross floor area of 1,993 m², representing a Floor
Space Index of 0.92 times the area of the lot. The application proposes 18 surface parking
spaces adjacent to the rail corridor and 14 parking spaces integral to the townhouses.
The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction for the City Solicitor and other
appropriate City staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal hearing to oppose the
applications, as currently proposed. The proposed development is not consistent with the
Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and does not conform with the Growth Plan for the Greater
Golden Horseshoe (2020), the Official Plan, the Zoning By-law, rail safety criteria for new
development adjacent to rail corridors, the City's Townhouse and Low-Rise Apartment
Guidelines nor the Long Branch Neighbourhood Character Guidelines.
The Provincial Policy Statement (the PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial
interest related to land use planning and development. Key objectives include: building strong
communities; wise use and management of resources; and protecting public health and safety.
City Council's planning decisions are required to be consistent with the PPS.
The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe provides a framework for managing
growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe including: directions for where and how to grow; the
provision of infrastructure to support growth; and protecting natural systems and cultivating a
culture of conservation. City Council's planning decisions are required to conform, or not
conflict, with the Growth Plan. The policies contained in the Growth Plan are to be read in
conjunction with all applicable provisions of the PPS.
Both these documents are high-level and broad reaching. The City is a development area and
infill is encouraged under these policies. Policy 4.6 of the PPS states that the most important
method of implementing the policies is a municipality's Official Plan which guides the method
of intensification and where it should be focused. While the proposed development would
achieve the goals of residential intensification, the development in its current form fails to
conform to the Built Form and Neighbourhoods policies of the City of Toronto Official Plan
and therefore is not consistent with the PPS. The proposed development does not represent
good planning and is not in the public interest.
Staff are of the opinion that the consideration of the location and massing of the proposed
development is premature until the Derailment Protection Report has been appropriately peer
reviewed and accepted by both the City and Metrolinx. The subject site abuts a very active rail
corridor and any redevelopment of this site must address concerns related to the risk to health
and safety in the event of a rail accident as well as noise and vibration from regular operation of
the rail line. The Derailment Protection Report must be satisfactorily reviewed to determine if
the proposed building setback and mitigation measures are sufficient for the proposed
development.

Summary
This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the
application to amend City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 and the former City of Etobicoke
Zoning Code for the properties located at 2 and 10 East Mall Crescent. The application is
associated with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application for 250 The East
Mall (20 169 050 WET 03 OZ). While the applications are separate, they will be reviewed
together as both applications form the overall Cloverdale Mall redevelopment and Master Plan.
The application proposes a mixed-use development consisting of a 27-storey tower and a 6-

storey mid-rise building connected by a one-storey base building and containing a total of 450
residential units. A total of 200 m2 of retail space is proposed at grade level. The 27-storey
tower would have an overall height of 92.5 metres and the 6-storey mid-rise building would
have an overall height of 24 metres (without mechanical penthouses). The proposed
development would have a total gross floor area (GFA) of 35,700 m2, which would result in a
Floor Space Index (FSI) of 3.8 times the area of the lands.
Staff are currently reviewing the application. It has been circulated to all appropriate agencies
and City divisions for comment. Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation
meeting for the application with the Ward Councillor.

Summary
This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set of issues regarding the
application to amend the Official Plan as well as City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 and
the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code for the property located at 250 The East Mall. The
application is associated with the Zoning By-law Amendment application for 2 and 10 East
Mall Crescent (20 169 076 WET 03 OZ). While the applications are separate, they will be
reviewed together as both applications form the overall Cloverdale Mall redevelopment and
Master Plan.
The application proposes a mixed-use development containing new roads, blocks, commercial
and residential uses. The development would consist of 8 towers ranging in height from 24-
storeys to 48-storeys; 3 mid-rise buildings ranging from 7 to 12-storeys and a 2-storey building.
The buildings would have overall heights ranging between 11.3 m and 154 m. The proposed
development would have a total gross floor area of approximately 362,000 m2, which would
result in a Floor Space Index (FSI) of 3.0 times the area of the lands. A total of 4,047
residential units are proposed with a gross floor area (GFA) of 333,733 m2. Also proposed is a
retail GFA of 25,337 m2 to be located at the base of various buildings centred around a retail
main street.
An 11,392 m2 public park and a 3,593 m2 Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS)
is proposed to be located at the centre of the site, adjacent to The East Mall. A community
space of 2,043 m2 is proposed to be located adjacent to these public spaces.
Vehicular parking and loading spaces are proposed to be accommodated in underground

parking garages. All loading is located below grade and accessed from one central driveway
located at the southwest corner of the site. Ten ramps to the underground parking are proposed
to be located within the base buildings and accessed from the proposed road network.
Staff are currently reviewing the application. It has been circulated to all appropriate agencies
and City divisions for comment. Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation
meeting for the application with the Ward Councillor.

IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 98 Superior Avenue

1. City Council include the following properties on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register:
96 Superior Avenue
214 Queens Avenue
2. City Council request that the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning prepare a report for the
Toronto Preservation Board and the Etobicoke York Community Council that evaluates the two

Origin
(November 9, 2020) Report from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City
Planning
Summary
This report recommends that the three properties at 96-98 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens
Avenue be included on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and that City Council state its
intention to designate the property at 98 Superior Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the
Ontario Heritage Act.
Located on the west side of Superior and Queens avenues at the convergence of the two streets,
just south of Cavell Avenue and the CN railway, the three subject properties contain a fine,
unique collection of early-20th century stone cottages in the Mimico area.
Staff have determined that all three properties have cultural heritage value and recommend that
City Council include the properties at 96-98 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens Avenue on the
City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The property at 98 Superior Avenue has design value as a
well-designed house-form building constructed in 1923 that incorporates elements of the
British-inspired Cottage style with its symmetrically-arranged principal elevation and stone
cladding. The property represents one dwelling in a fine collection of three stone cottages
(along with 96 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens Avenue) that is unique in the Mimico area.
The Province and the City's policies seek the conservation of cultural heritage resources. The
property at 98 Superior Avenue is the subject of a Committee of Adjustment application, which
was deferred at the August 2020 meeting at the request of both the local councillor and the
Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, to allow time for staff to research and evaluate the property
for cultural heritage value. Subsequently an application to demolish the existing building on the
property at 98 Superior Avenue was submitted to Toronto Building Department on November
2, 2020. Designation supports conservation of the property as it enables City Council to refuse
demolition.

Summary
My office has received a number of requests for permit parking on this block of Silverthorn
Avenue. Although signage indicates permit parking, Transportation Services staff have
confirmed this block is not authorized. Rather than remove the signs, I would like to license
this block to maintain the permit signage and allow residents the ability to be eligible for
permits. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City was unable to conduct the
polling process.
Subsection 925-4B, provides that:
Where permit parking is not currently available and where a petition requesting permit
parking signed by the residents of a minimum of 25% of the total number of residential
premises having a residential address on the street or the flank of the street is submitted to
the General Manager, a poll shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 190, Polling
and Notification, to determine if the residents wish to have permit parking on their road or
area, as the case may be. In the event of a positive polling result, the General Manager
shall report such result to the appropriate community council, which community council
under delegated authority, shall be authorized to pass any necessary by-laws to implement
permit parking on the road or area. In the event of a negative result, permit parking shall
not be extended to the road or area, and no further permit parking poll shall be conducted
for a period of two years
I am seeking an exemption from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto

Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking as a means of helping residents of Silverthorn
Avenue obtain parking permits.

(December 2, 2020) Letter from Councillor Mark Grimes
Summary
On March 12, 2020, Etobicoke York Community Council adopted my motion EY14.16 which
directed Transportation Services to report back to the June 9, 2020 meeting of Community
Council on all possible measures to improve safety on Burnhamthorpe Road between Dundas
Street West and Kipling Avenue.
Specifically, staff were asked to investigate opportunities which included but not limited to:
reducing the speed limit; enacting a Community Safety Zone; installing permanent Watch Your
Speed signage; reducing the number of lanes; pedestrian crossing protection; road re-
classification; and any additional signage i.e. "hidden driveway" etc..
Transportation Services staff must conduct traffic studies before implementing many of the
measures listed above.
Due to impacts of COVID-19, Transportation Services was not able to report back to the
Etobicoke York Community Council on June 9, 2020. Traffic studies were suspended effective
March 19, 2020, and Traffic Operations staff were reassigned to other priority projects within
the City, therefore, a report to the June 9, 2020 Etobicoke York Community Council was not
provided. I am requesting that Transportation Services staff report to the next possible meeting
of Etobicoke York Community Council with responses to each of the urgent safety requests
listed above.
