  • Draft Delineations for the Protected Major Transit Station Areas Within the Downtown Secondary Plan and Draft Citywide MTSA Policy Directions
    REPORT FOR ACTION Draft Delineations for the Protected Major Transit Station Areas within the Downtown Secondary Plan and Draft Citywide MTSA Policy Directions Date: March 30, 2021 To: Planning and Housing Committee From: Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Wards: Ward 10 - Spadina-Fort York; Ward 11 - University Rosedale and Ward 13 - Toronto Centre SUMMARY In June 2020, City Planning initiated the Growth Plan Conformity and Municipal Comprehensive Review ("the MCR") which includes the delineation of 180+ Major Transit Station Areas (MTSAs) to meet Provincial intensification requirements by July 2022. The introduction of Protected Major Transit Station Areas (PMTSAs) is part of the MCR. An equity lens is being applied to this work program that prioritizes the delineation of PMTSAs to enable the implementation of inclusionary zoning as an affordable housing tool, where market conditions could support it. This report presents the policy approach for advancing the implementation of Major Transit Station Areas and Protected Major Transit Station Areas, and the proposed delineations within the Downtown Secondary Plan. This report is intended as the basis for consultation of the draft Official Plan Amendment (OPA) that includes 16 Site and Area Specific Policies (SASPs) that delineate Protected Major Transit Station Areas (PMTSAs) within the Downtown Secondary Plan area. The draft policy directions for the introduction of a new Chapter 8 of the Official Plan will be refined following consultation and brought forward as part of the final Official Plan Amendment. The 16 PMTSA delineations included in this draft OPA would implement the Minister approved Downtown Plan and address the requirements of the A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) (the "Growth Plan") and Section 16(15) of the Planning Act.

  • Toronto Transit Commission Report No
    Revised: March/13 TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. MEETING DATE: March 26, 2014 SUBJECT: TTC COMMUNITY RELATIONS ANNUAL REPORT INFORMATION ITEM RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Board receive this report for information. FUNDING The recommendation of this report does not have any financial impact. BACKGROUND At its meeting of February 25, 2013, the Board adopted a Construction Projects Community Relations Management Plan and TTC Good Neighbour Policy for Construction Projects. Attached is the annual Community Relations report for 2013. DISCUSSION Community Relations efforts in 2013 focused on pro-active outreach for major capital projects including: Leslie Barns, New Second Exits Expert Advisory Panel, Coxwell Station Easier Access, Woodbine Station Easier Access, Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension, Pape Station Modernization, Dufferin Station Modernization, Ossington Station Easier Access, and Lawrence Station Fire Vents and other projects that are in the planning phase. The community outreach on major TTC construction projects has ensured that community questions, concerns, and recommendations are clearly identified, evaluated and responded to throughout planning, design and construction. The Community Relations team is a bridge between communities, TTC construction staff and contractors. By building early understanding and trust, and working diligently to incorporate community feedback and resolve concerns, the TTC can build projects more effectively with community support. This is especially important given that major projects with long term benefits may cause major inconvenience to our neighbours and customers during construction.
