  • Rethinking Toronto's Middle Landscape: Spaces of Planning, Contestation, and Negotiation Robert Scott Fiedler a Dissertation S
    RETHINKING TORONTO’S MIDDLE LANDSCAPE: SPACES OF PLANNING, CONTESTATION, AND NEGOTIATION ROBERT SCOTT FIEDLER A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2017 © Robert Scott Fiedler, 2017 Abstract This dissertation weaves together an examination of the concept and meanings of suburb and suburban, historical geographies of suburbs and suburbanization, and a detailed focus on Scarborough as a suburban space within Toronto in order to better understand postwar suburbanization and suburban change as it played out in a specific metropolitan context and locale. With Canada and the United States now thought to be suburban nations, critical suburban histories and studies of suburban problems are an important contribution to urbanistic discourse and human geographical scholarship. Though suburbanization is a global phenomenon and suburbs have a much longer history, the vast scale and explosive pace of suburban development after the Second World War has a powerful influence on how “suburb” and “suburban” are represented and understood. One powerful socio-spatial imaginary is evident in discourses on planning and politics in Toronto: the city-suburb or urban-suburban divide. An important contribution of this dissertation is to trace out how the city-suburban divide and meanings attached to “city” and “suburb” have been integral to the planning and politics that have shaped and continue to shape Scarborough and Toronto. The research employs an investigative approach influenced by Michel Foucault’s critical and effective histories and Bent Flyvbjerg’s methodological guidelines for phronetic social science.

  • City Planning Division - Study Work Program Update
    PH20.2 REPORT FOR ACTION City Planning Division - Study Work Program Update Date: January 5, 2021 To: Planning and Housing Committee From: Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Wards: All SUMMARY This report provides the City Planning Division's annual update on its Study Work Program. It outlines the Division's 58 completions and approvals in 2020, highlighting a remarkable variety of city building work. The report also provides a forecast for the Division's 2021 Study Work Program. Although this past year has not been business as usual given COVID-19 impacts, the collaborative effort with divisions across the Toronto Public Service, external agencies and community partners enabled City Planning to advance studies and initiatives in support of the City's 2019 Corporate Strategic Plan and its four Strategic Priorities on affordable housing, mobility, quality of life, and climate change and resiliency. These include affordable housing policy and programs, such as inclusionary zoning and Housing Now; new planning frameworks to guide longer term investment and growth, for example, the Golden Mile and Keele Finch Plus secondary plans; zoning initiatives including expanding permissions for outdoor patios to support bars and restaurants as part of Toronto's recovery efforts; environmental initiatives such as the Ravine Implementation Strategy; and guidelines, including the Retail Design Manual, to influence better design and development outcomes across the city. Looking ahead, the 2021 Study Work Program reflects Council's direction

  • 966 Don Mills Road – City-Initiated Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendment Application – Final Report
    REPORT FOR ACTION 966 Don Mills Road – City-Initiated Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application – Final Report Date: August 23, 2021 To: North York Community Council From: Acting Director, Community Planning, North York District Wards: 16 - Don Valley East Planning Application Number: 19 255599 NNY 16 OZ SUMMARY At its meeting of July 16, 17 and 18, 2019, City Council approved a community recreation centre accommodating a twin-pad arena/multi-sport indoor courts, gymnasium with walking track, an aquatic centre, and community and program space, co-located with a large community park at 844 Don Mills Road (the former Celestica lands) to serve the communities along Don Mills Road, from York Mills Road to Flemingdon Park. In order to implement this approval, City Council directed staff to initiate an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment to modify zoning permissions for 966 Don Mills Road, located one kilometre north of 844 Don Mills Road, which had been previously approved to accommodate a community recreation centre. City Council further directed that staff undertake a review of other public and community uses that may be accommodated at 966 Don Mills Road through the execution of a Public and Community Needs Scan of the Broader Don Mills Catchment Area (the "Scan") to determine if any service gaps will exist following the completion of the recommended community recreation centre at 844 Don Mills Road. The purpose of the Scan was to assist in determining future public/community use(s) for the lands at 966 Don Mill Road. This amendment implements City Council's direction by recommending the removal of provisions related to the construction of a community recreation centre previously approved at 966 Don Mills Road included in current site specific official plan policies, zoning by-law provisions and a Section 37 agreement for the Shops at Don Mills.

  • Map of Don Mills Middle School
    Attachment 1: Submissions Public Meeting, Don Mills Middle School and the location of the Don Mills Civitan Arena Comments received by E-mail December 03, 2013 Dear David, Phillip and Brenda, I hope this mail finds you well. My name is Sinan Madenli and I am a resident of Don Mills, living at 64 Greenland Road (at the corner of Lawrence Ave. East and Greenland Rd.). On (19th September, 2003) we have been informed at the informal Community Informational meeting forced by Councillor Denzel Minnan-Wong that TDSB took a decision to sell “surplus” properties at number of school locations which amongst them is the field at the north of Don Mills Collegiate Institute that belongs to Don Mills Middle Scholl in an “In Camera” meeting. My property is adjacent to the field mentioned above and naturally this action by TDSB will have severe consequences for me and many other neighbours which are in the same position as I am. Regardless of who acquires this property and what kind of development occurs on it , it will have a major impact on us ranging from the decreasing the value of our property, to disturbance of peace and quiet we are enjoying, to tripling the traffic congestion in the area. Furthermore, when this decisions was made in June 9th 2013 meeting, it appears DMMS field was added to the list in a last minute snap decision (unfortunately) with the recommendation of our school trustee Harout Manaugian under the influence of heavy lobbying by DMRI (Terry West), Civitan Club Members and Build Toronto, hoping that to convince the City planners locate the new Civitan Arena at this location.

  • Central Don Mills Secondary Plan 24
    24 CENTRAL DON MILLS SECONDARY PLAN 24. CENTRAL DON MILLS SECONDARY PLAN The lands affected by the Central Don Mills Secondary Plan are shown on Map 24-1. 1. GENERAL CONCEPT 1.1 Central Don Mills was planned and built in the 1950’s as a self-contained community. A unique development in its time, it became a model for suburban development across Canada. Although Don Mills changed and evolved, basic elements remained. These are: a) four discrete neighbourhoods each historically focused on an elementary school and church, built outside of a ring road (The Donways); b) apartment development within the ring road; c) a central commercial and community centre within The Donways at the southwest corner of Don Mills Road and Lawrence Avenue; d) a local road network in the four neighbourhoods designed to discourage through traffic; e) schools in an open space setting; f) an open space network comprised of parks and walkways that provide pedestrian and cycling links between the neighbourhoods and the community centre; g) a balanced mix of housing forms and tenures, including detached and semi-detached dwellings, townhouses and apartments; h) a sense of scale and consistency in design; i) the arrangement of built form and open spaces in a sympathetic, mutually supportive manner; and j) design and landscaping reflecting the garden city concept. These elements will continue to provide the framework of the Secondary Plan Area as it evolves. 1.2 Background 1.2.1 Don Mills Centre The Don Mills Centre has developed as a commercial area containing a shopping mall, other retail uses, offices, a post office and an arena.
