7 North York Community Council – May 6, 2008 Minutes borne by the developers; 1609830 Ontario Inc. (Liberty Development) and Idomo, which are constructing the condominiums on the west side of William R. Allen Road and the new public roadway from William R. Allen Road to Kodiak Crescent. The costs associated with the installation of the traffic control signals at this intersection are estimated at $150,000.

Summary To obtain approval for the installation of the traffic control signals, roadway modifications (road alterations by-law), and traffic by-laws associated with the implementation of the York University Busway, from Downsview Station to the York University Campus.

The installation of above-noted traffic control measures will ensure that the York University Busway from Downsview Station to York University will operate as intended, which is to have a dedicated transit right-of-way on William R. Allen Road, Dufferin Street, Finch Hydro Corridor and York University Campus. The construction of the busway will reduce the significant delays currently experienced by buses servicing York University from Downsview Station.

NY15.34 Information Deferred Ward: 25, 26, 34 Identifying Land to Purchase for a new Multi-pad Ice Arena in Wards 25, 26, or 34

(April 18, 2008) Report from General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

57 North York Community Council – May 6, 2008 Minutes

Summary This report provides a status update on the search for a suitable site to locate a new twin pad ice arena within Ward 25, 26 and 34. This report explains the process that this site selection study will take, and criteria that will be used to determine the priority of potential acquisition sites as well as a preliminary list of candidate sites.

Currently, there is a single-pad ice arena located at the Don Mills Centre at 1030 Don Mills Road, being the Don Mills Civitan Arena. The Arena was constructed approximately 47 years ago and was last renovated approximately 24 years ago. The Arena is well used but faces problems as a result of the age of the building, the related maintenance, and a severe parking shortage.

Due to the age, deteriorating condition and lack of parking of the Civitan Arena, it was recommended that staff prioritize the task of locating and securing a site in the vicinity of the Don Mills Civitan Arena for the purpose of developing a new multi-pad ice arena, to include at least two ice pads.

Parks, Forestry and Recreation (PFR) had previously initiated a preliminary site evaluation for a smaller project area that was subsequently expanded by Council direction. Parks, Forestry and Recreation (PFR) needs to continue the search for a location to accommodate a new twin pad ice arena to replace the Don Mills Civitan Arena.

Decision Advice and Other Information On motion by Councillor Jenkins, North York Community Council deferred consideration of the report (April 18, 2008) from the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to its next meeting on June 10, 2008, to allow debate and proper notice to be given to any interested persons.

NY15.36 ACTION Adopted Ward: 33 Don Mills and Sheppard Community Services & Facilities (CS&F) Needs Assessment

(March 7, 2008) Report from General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and Director, Community Planning, North York District

Recommendations The City Planning and Parks, Forestry and Recreation Divisions recommend that City Council:

1. Endorse the strategic directions identified in the Don Mills and Sheppard CS&F Needs Assessment Report attached as Appendix B to this report, including the identification of CS&F priorities for the broader Don Mills and Sheppard area as well as for the three sub-areas - Don Mills North (Oriole), Don Mills South (Parkway Forest) and Leslie/Sheppard (Sheppard Corridor).

60 North York Community Council – May 6, 2008 Minutes

Financial Impact This report has no direct financial implications. However, endorsement of the strategic directions in the Don Mills and Sheppard Community Facilities and Service Needs Assessment Report will result in the consideration of new funding in the Capital and Operating Budgets of future years to construct, furnish and operate additional facilities and provide additional services. It is anticipated that funds arising from development agreements will contribute to these Capital projects.

The design and construction of the Parkway Forest Community Centre has been secured through a Section 37 agreement between the City and El-Ad Group Canada Inc., owners of a number of 100, 110 & 125 Parkway Forest Drive, 120 & 130 George Henry Boulevard and 32- 50, 65-80 Forest Manor Road. This facility will require future City Capital Budget funding for its furnishings and equipment of approximately $100,000 as well as future ongoing Operating Budget costs of approximately $800,000 per year in current dollars.

The Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.

Summary This report provides the findings of the recently completed Don Mills and Sheppard Community Services and Facilities (CS&F) Needs Assessment which was undertaken by an inter-departmental team from Parks Forestry and Recreation (PF&R), City Planning and Social Development, Finance and Administration (SDF&A).

The study was triggered by the redevelopment proposal for the Parkway Forest community by the owner, El-Ad Group Canada Inc. for a number of properties located within the Parkway Forest community at 100, 110 and 125 Parkway Forest Drive, 120 and 130 George Henry Boulevard and 32-50, 65 and 80 Forest Manor Road area. As part of City Council’s approval of this application, a community benefits package was secured under Section 37 of the Planning Act and included a new community centre, community agency space and an 82-space child care centre.

City Council requested that a facility needs assessment be undertaken for this area. This report provides a CS&F review of the area bounded by Finch Avenue to the north, Highway 401 to the south, Bayview Avenue to the west and Victoria Park Avenue to the east. This large CS&F study area was developed in recognition that people are willing to travel further to access specific programs/services offered by various CS&F within the area. In addition, given the diversity of various communities within the broader study area, three distinct sub-areas were developed in order to identify CS&F priorities to meet the current and future needs of the residents living within those communities, including Parkway Forest.

This report identifies a range of CS&F priorities to inform future development applications in the area. In this regard, staff recommend that the findings and priorities identified from the Don Mills and Sheppard CS&F Needs Assessment Study be used by City staff to assess the impact of future development applications in the area.

61 North York Community Council – May 6, 2008 Minutes

Committee Recommendations On motion by Councillor Carroll, North York Community Council recommended that City Council:

a. the appropriate conditions, which must be fulfilled prior to the release of the plan of condominium for registration; and

b. any such revisions to the proposed condominium plan or any such additional or modified conditions as the Chief Planner may deem to be appropriate to address matters arising from the on-going technical review of this development.

Financial Impact The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

Summary The applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law were made in July, 2005 and are not subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006. The application for Draft Plan of Common Elements Condominium was submitted after January 1, 2007 and is subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

The application proposes a seven unit, 3-storey lane-based townhouse development with an overall density of approximately 0.6 FSI (30 units per hectare). Each townhouse is provided with rear-yard amenity space and accessory 2-car garages accessed by an L-shaped private driveway running parallel to the rear property line and connecting to Ranee Avenue.

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and Provincial Plans, as well as the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The Official Plan Amendment redesignating the lands from Parks and Open Space – Parks to Neighbourhoods is appropriate for this site. City Council declared the site as surplus in 2002 and the lands are now privately owned. The proposed development is in keeping with the policies of the Official Plan and applicable guidelines.

This report also advises that the Chief Planner may approve the Draft Plan of Common Elements Condominium. The new Planning Act provisions for Draft Plan of Common Elements Condominium in the Planning Act now require that a public meeting be held.

Summary This development application was made prior to January 1, 2007 and is therefore not subject to the new provisions of the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, 2006.

This application proposes an 11-storey residential building at the northeast corner of Bales Avenue and Avondale Avenue. The site is located within the area east of Yonge Street, north of Highway 401 and south of Sheppard Avenue East.

The developer’s solicitor has appealed the proposed Zoning Amendment and Site Plan Control Approval applications to the Ontario Municipal Board, as a Council decision has not been made within the allotted time frames.

The proposed project represents an appropriate development of the subject site. This Report seeks Council’s support of the proposed Zoning Amendment and Site Plan Control Approval applications, and recommends that staff attend at the Ontario Municipal Board in support of the proposal.
