(October 19, 2020) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District
Summary
This application proposes to amend the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code and Site
Specific Zoning By-law No. 514-2003 to permit a 9-storey (30.95 m in height, including
mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building at 689 The Queensway. The building would contain
198 residential units and 500 m2 of commercial at-grade floor area. The building would have a
gross floor area of 17,143 m2, yielding a Floor Space Index (FSI) of approximately 4.25 times
the area of the lot. A total of 180 parking spaces would be provided within two levels of below
grade parking. Vehicular access to the below grade parking would be provided via a private
lane at the rear of the property.
The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and
conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposed
development represents appropriate intensification along The Queensway that conforms with
the Official Plan and is generally consistent with the City Council adopted The Queensway
Design Guidelines and Streetscape Improvements.
This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law
subject to conditions before introducing the necessary Bills to City Council for enactment.
Provided the conditions are fulfilled, staff are of the opinion the proposed development is
appropriate in this location.

315 and 327 Royal York Road - Zoning By-law Amendment Application -
Status Report

The Etobicoke York Community Council submits the item to City Council without
recommendations.
Origin
Summary
Metrolinx has entered into a partnership with VANDYK Group of Companies to deliver a
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) integrated with the Mimico GO Station. This was the
first TOD partnership announced by the Provincial government as part of its market-oriented
approach for transit projects. This report provides information and identifies a preliminary set
of issues regarding the application located at 315 and 327 Royal York Road. It also introduces a
broader Context Plan for additional properties in the area.
This application was submitted on October 7, 2019 after pre-application discussions with City
staff dating back to Fall 2018. Subsequent to its submission, given the related Metrolinx
interests, City staff have been working with the applicant (VANDYK) and Metrolinx on a
revised approach to developing these properties as it was staff's view that the proposal did not
appropriately address transit oriented objectives and was not supportable. This revised
approach introduces a context block plan (Mimico Master Context Plan) for the Mimico GO
Station lands and abutting properties. This report outlines the issues related to the 2019
application and presents a potential option for resolving concerns if a context block plan
approach were undertaken.
The 2019 application proposes to amend the former City of Etobicoke Zoning Code, as
amended by Site Specific Zoning By-law No. 244-2011, to permit a Transit-Oriented
Development (TOD) integrated with the Mimico GO Station entrance building and pedestrian
plaza at 315 Royal York Road (Metrolinx lands) and 327 Royal York Road (VANDYK lands).
The proposal includes two residential towers with heights of 29 and 44-storeys (104.4 m and
146.4 m in height respectively) connected by a 4 to 8-storey podium, a transit facility, office
and retail uses and an above grade parking structure.
The development would contain a total of 687 residential units and a total of 514 vehicular
parking spaces within a 3-level below grade parking garage as well as a 3-level above grade
parking garage (on the 327 Royal York Road lands) which would extend above the Mimico GO
Station. In addition, a second 3-level below grade parking garage (on the 315 Royal York Road
lands) is also proposed.
The proposal includes a total gross floor area (GFA) of 68,207 m2 (of which 47,435 m2 would
be for residential use, 11,687 m2 for transit-related uses/above grade parking garage/storage
lockers, 8,809 m2 for office use and 276 m2 for retail use). The total Floor Space Index would
be 11.2 times the area of the lot (combined site density) and would be 18.6 times the area of the
lot for only 327 Royal York Road.
Staff are of the opinion that the proposed development, in its current form, is not supportable
and does not conform to the Toronto Official Plan or promote a built form that is well designed
as outlined in the Planning Act. Major issues have been identified by City staff related to
coordination of station works, site organization, safety and pedestrian/vehicular conflicts, built
form, impacts on surrounding properties and integration with the surrounding block context.
The City is committed to working with Metrolinx on TOD projects to achieve developments
that encourage and support greater transit ridership and fit well within their existing and
planned context. In reviewing the application, staff noted that VANDYK and Metrolinx are the
only property owners in the area south of Newcastle Street in the immediate vicinity of the
subject site. Staff are of the opinion that opportunities exist to address the issues identified with
the current application if the GO station facilities were incorporated throughout a number of
properties bordering the rail corridor. This would allow for the relocation and redistribution of
the above grade commuter parking, density and vehicular and pedestrian accesses throughout
the area which would result in a safer environment, improved public realm elements,
elimination of private driveways and a more appropriately scaled and designed proposal.
In an effort to resolve the challenges identified with the application and develop a proposal that
would result in a TOD that fits within the local context, City Planning staff presented ideas and
options for the consolidated development of the lands south of Newcastle Street for
consideration by VANDYK and Metrolinx. Staff also requested that the applicant prepare a
context block plan for these lands that incorporated these options and addressed the relationship
between this development, the Mimico GO Station design (including the surface parking area
along Newcastle Street) and other approvals issued in the abutting Mimico Judson Secondary
Plan area such as the 39 Newcastle Street development (also owned by VANDYK).
On September 23, 2020, VANDYK submitted a Mimico Master Context Plan (Context Plan)
that includes a number of properties including 315 and 327 Royal York Road, the integration of
the GO Station lands at 1 Windsor Street and 29 and 33 Newcastle Street and the LPAT
approved development at 39 Newcastle Street. Staff are of the opinion this Context Plan offers
a basis for moving forward to define a better TOD opportunity at the Mimico GO Station. It
proposes a coordinated approach to the integration of station facilities within the broader
context which eliminates multiple driveway entrances from the terminus of Windsor Street,
introduces a new street connection from Buckingham Street to Windsor Street, new station
entrance buildings connected to the development at 39 Newcastle Street, an expanded
pedestrian station plaza, a formalized pick-up and drop-off area, underground commuter
parking, as well as future residential development at 29 and 33 Newcastle Street (see
Attachment 9: Context Plan Submitted by VANDYK).
While the Context Plan does provide the basis to resolve a number of issues with the current
application, staff also note there are other matters of concern such as tower heights and building
densities that are still unresolved (particularly the proposal for two towers on the 327 Royal
York Road lands). Further details/materials would be required for review and consideration by
City staff.
Staff will continue working with VANDYK and Metrolinx to explore the feasibility of
implementing the Context Plan as this proposal will require modifications to the LPAT approval
of 39 Newcastle Street as well as the work program currently underway by Metrolinx for the
Mimico GO Station. Staff are confident this approach would guide the process to align this
TOD project, the Metrolinx lands and the LPAT approved development at 39 Newcastle Street
through various timelines/stages of redevelopment.
Staff have circulated the submission materials to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for
comment. Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application
and the broader Context Plan with the Ward Councillor. Staff will also provide further reports
to City Council, as the proposal continues to evolve.
It should be noted that on July 8, 2020, Bill 197 was introduced as legislation. Bill 197 extends
and elaborates the Minister’s powers to issue Ministerial Zoning Orders (MZO) and exempt
certain developments from municipal planning approvals. As both the subject application and
the new Context Plan include provincially owned land, the involvement of Metrolinx as a
Crown Agency, partner and stakeholder, as well as station facilities and infrastructure that are
impacted by the proposals, an MZO could be considered by the Province. Staff would not be
supportive of an MZO process in this instance should it curtail an appropriate municipal review
of the proposal and exclude public input. Staff recommend that in order to proceed with the
proposed Context Plan, a new planning application be required for the portion of the
development to be located on 29 and 33 Newcastle Street (as a new residential building having
unknown height and density is proposed to be added to the Mimico Judson Secondary Plan
area) and that proposed modifications to the approvals for 39 Newcastle Street be addressed at
LPAT.

Origin
(October 9, 2020) Report from Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City
Planning
Summary
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 165
Stanley Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
St Leo's Catholic School, originally called St Leo's Separate School, is a Collegiate Gothic
style school that was constructed in 1926 on the south side of Stanley Avenue between Royal
York Road and Elizabeth Street. It was opened by the Mimico Separate School Board with the
assistance of the congregation of St Leo's Catholic Church, and it is the oldest Separate School
in Etobicoke that is still open. The building is two-storeys and originally contained four
classrooms and an auditorium. The architect is not known. Following an increase in the
Catholic population in Etobicoke after WWII and a surge in enrollment at St Leo's Catholic
School, several additions of interconnected buildings were made from 1956-76.
The property at 165 Stanley Avenue was listed on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register on
September 27, 2006 and was originally listed on the former City of Etobicoke Inventory of
Heritage Properties.
A Site Plan Approval application was submitted on January 3, 2019 for the property at 165
Stanley Avenue (Application No. 19 100745 WET 03 SA). A Memorandum was issued by
Heritage Planning on August 29, 2019, which identified conditions of approval, including the
request for an Interpretation Plan, the production of a detailed Conservation Plan and that the
owner enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement, following consultation with the Toronto
Preservation Board and if approved by Council. The Site Plan Approval application remains
under review.
The applicant proposes to retain the original 1926 school building, connected to a new three-
storey wing at the rear by a one-and-a-half storey glazed pedestrian connection. Modifications
to the heritage building include the introduction of window wells on the lower levels of the
north, west and east elevations, a new sunken courtyard on the west elevation, and the
enlargement of an existing opening in the rear (south) elevation to accommodate the new
connection. The rear (south) wall is proposed to be over clad in stucco.
Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property meets Ontario
Regulation 9/06, which sets out the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV,
Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, for its design/physical, historical/associative and
contextual value.
The Province and the City's policies seek the conservation of cultural heritage resources.
Designation supports conservation as it enables City Council to review alterations to the site,
enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

(October 16, 2020) Report from the Director, Transportation Services, Etobicoke York District
Summary
This report seeks City Council's approval to partially exempt the owner of 1 Blue Goose Street
from the non-residential parking requirement specified in Site-Specific Zoning By-law No.
653-2020. The site was the subject of Zoning By-law Amendment Application No. 16 270113
WET 06 OZ which considered a mixed-use development consisting of the existing restaurant
and micro-brewery, and 30 residential dwelling units. In accordance with the above-noted Site
Specific By-law, a minimum of 27 parking spaces would be required for the non-residential
component of the development. The applicant is unable to accommodate 16 of the required 27
parking spaces on-site or through approved boulevard parking and has requested a Payment-In-
Lieu of Parking to the City which amounts to $80,000.
The parking exemption is considered appropriate since the parking space shortfall will not have
a significant impact on parking conditions in the area.
Section 40 of the Planning Act grants City Council the authority to approve payment-in-lieu of
parking. This application has been made pursuant to the City's Payment-In-Lieu of Parking
Policy, adopted in July, 2004. City Council approval is required as this matter has not been
delegated.

Summary
This report seeks City Council's approval to exempt the owner of 2862 Lake Shore Boulevard
West from the parking requirements specified in City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013,
and the Etobicoke Zoning Code, both of which apply to the site.
The site was the subject of Committee of Adjustment Application No. A0622/18EYK. Under
this application, the owner of the property requested approval to construct a second storey
addition to the existing building. In accordance with the April 9, 2019 decision for the above-
noted file, the Committee approved the development proposal on condition that the owner
successfully apply and obtain approval for payment-in-lieu of parking for the parking
deficiency. As noted on the Committee decision, a total of 14 parking spaces are required for
the site under Zoning By-law 569-2013, and 39 parking spaces are required under the
Etobicoke Zoning Code. The owner will provide no on-site parking spaces. The owner
submitted a request for Payment-In-Lieu of Parking to the City, which amounts to $15,000.
The parking exemption is considered appropriate since the parking space shortfall will not have
a significant impact on parking conditions in the area.
Section 40 of the Planning Act grants City Council the authority to approve payment-in-lieu of
parking. This application has been made pursuant to the City's Payment-In-Lieu of Parking
Policy, as adopted in July 2004. City Council approval is required as this matter has not been

Traffic Safety Review of Area Bounded by Rathburn Road, The East

Mall, Burnhamthorpe Road and Martin Grove Road

1. Requested Transportation Services to prioritize a comprehensive area study in the area

bounded by Rathburn Road, The East Mall, Burnhamthorpe Road and Martin Grove Road; and
to report back on appropriate measures to address traffic infiltration, vehicular volume and
speed, pedestrian and cyclist safety, street infrastructure and controls, and sight-line concerns.

(November 3, 2020) Letter from Councillor Stephen Holyday
Summary
The City conducts neighbourhood-focused reviews of traffic operations with the application of
a safety lens. This is in recognition that safety concerns often follow area-wide patterns, and
that efficient and effective solutions necessitate looking at how streets function together within
a zone, and how traffic changes on one street can impact the conditions on another.
I have received multiple concerns from within the Etobicoke Centre neighbourhoods of
Eatonville and Glen Park, in the area bounded by Rathburn Road, The East Mall,
Burnhamthorpe Road and Martin Grove Road. Issues raised were cut-through traffic, excessive
speeding, poor stop sign compliance, safe crossings, missing sidewalk links, and poor sight
lines, coupled with safety concerns for vulnerable road users, and the function around the local
school and park.
Among the unique issues of this area are the long parallel streets linking Rathburn Road to
Burnhamthorpe Road, the mix of grid-pattern and garden-pattern streets, the mix of rural and
urban road cross-sections, and qualified documentation of instances of speeding by motorists.
I am writing to ask your support in making a comprehensive area specific traffic safety review
in this neighbourhood a top priority.
