Origin
(March 30, 2021) Report from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York
District

Summary
The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's direction for the City Solicitor and other
appropriate Staff to attend the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") in support of the
appeal of the Zoning By-law Amendment application for 2996 Weston Road.

An application to amend the former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625 and City-wide
Zoning By-law 569-2013 respectively was submitted on May 10, 2018 with respect to the lands
located at 2996 Weston Road to permit five 3-storey single-detached dwellings.

City Council at its meeting on September 30, October 1 and 2, 2020 adopted By-law 843-2020
and By-law 844-2020 amending the former City of North York Zoning By-law 7625 and City-
wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 respectively. On November 4, 2020 the applicant filed an
appeal to City Council's decision related to the proposed amendment to City-wide Zoning By-
law 569-2013 via By-law 844-2020 requesting a reduction in the west side yard setback for Lot
5. The side yard setback on the west side of Lot 5 was approved as 11.75 metres as shown on
Diagram 5 of By-law 844-2020. The applicant has requested to reduce the setback to 1.8
metres to accommodate a larger dwelling on Lot 5. No changes are proposed to By-law 843-
2020.

The revised proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms
with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) and
Neighbourhood policies of the Official Plan.

This report recommends that City Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate
City staff, to support the revised proposal at the LPAT, as per the revised Zoning By-law
amendment.

2200 Islington Avenue - Application to Lift Holding Provisions (H) -
Status Update

Community Council Recommendations


The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council amend By-law 808-2018 to lift the holding provision (H) from the northeast
portion of the lands and direct the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District and
the City Solicitor to introduce bills at such time as the intent of the holding provisions
contained in the by-law are satisfied as set out in the report from City Planning dated March 29,
2021, or as otherwise may be determined appropriate by the Director, Community Planning.

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and any other City staff to take such actions as are
required to implement the decision of City Council.

Origin
(March 29, 2021) Report from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York
District

Summary
At its meeting on March 3, 2021, Etobicoke York Community Council requested the Director,
Community Planning, Etobicoke York District, to prepare a report with an update on the
holding provisions for 2200 Islington Avenue, including a complete list of conditions required
to lift the holding provisions, and an update on the status of the conditions. This report
responds to this request.

On October 16, 2020, an application was submitted to remove the Holding (H) symbol from the
lands subject to Site-Specific Zoning By-law 808-2018 at 2200 Islington Avenue. The Holding
(H) symbol only applies to the eastern portion of the site which is to be lifted upon the
fulfillment of four conditions related to the realignment of the Islington Avenue and Rexdale
Boulevard intersection (see Attachment 4: Schedule 'B' of Zoning By-law 808-2018). The
adoption of the site-specific zoning by-law was based on the applicant's proposed construction
phasing of the site, whereby the western portion of the lands would be constructed in advance
of the eastern portion of the site subject to the holding provisions. This was done to allow for
the reconstruction of the Islington Avenue and Rexdale Boulevard, as well as the sale of the
remnant City lands to the applicant to be consolidated as part of the development site. Since the
adoption of Zoning By-law 808-2018, the applicant has revised their construction phasing to
prioritize the development of the eastern portion of the site to occur in conjunction with the
development of the entire site.

Planning staff are of the opinion that the holding provisions have not yet been satisfied. While
the applicant has made significant strides in attempting to fulfill the holding provisions by
advancing the intersection realignment construction and working towards finalizing the sale of
the remnant lands, to date only one of the four conditions has been satisfied. Staff will prepare
a further report regarding the lifting of the holding provisions once the conditions have been
fulfilled.

(March 1, 2021) Report from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City
Planning

Summary

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the two properties at
96 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage
Act. City Council added the properties to the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in December
2020.

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 properties at 96 Superior Avenue
and 214 Queens Avenue have design value as well-designed house-form buildings constructed
in 1923-24 that incorporate elements of the British-inspired Cottage style with their
symmetrically-arranged principal elevations and stone cladding. The properties represent the
two surviving examples in a fine collection of originally three stone cottages (along with the
demolished cottage at 98 Superior Avenue) that is unique in the Mimico area.

The adjacent property at 98 Superior Avenue was built together with the subject properties,
however, the cottage was demolished in the hours preceding the November 30, 2020 meeting of
the Toronto Preservation Board prior to considering staff recommendations for the intention to
designate the property.

Upon subsequent direction from the local councillor and members of the Etobicoke York
Community Council to further evaluate the surviving two properties at 96 Superior Avenue and
214 Queens Avenue, Heritage Planning staff have determined that both properties meet Ontario
Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of
the Ontario Heritage Act.

While the loss of the third cottage at 98 Superior Avenue is unfortunate, staff do not believe
that this negatively impacts the cultural heritage value of the two remaining original dwellings
at 96 Superior Avenue and 214 Queens Avenue.

(March 25, 2021) Report from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City
Planning

Summary
This report recommends that City Council include the property at 60 Birmingham Street
(including an active entrance address at 175 New Toronto Street) on the City of Toronto’s
Heritage Register for its cultural heritage value.

The subject property is situated on the north side of Birmingham Street, east of Islington
Avenue, south of New Toronto Street, and west of Dwight Avenue. It is the site of the former
Campbell Soup Company, Limited, of Canada, plant and is comprised of a complex of
structures that were constructed from 1931-c.2000s (Figure 3). Campbell Soup Company,
Limited, of Canada, continued to own and occupy the plant until 2019. It was designed by the
prolific Toronto architectural firm Mathers & Haldenby, and the principal (south) elevation of
the manufacturing building fronting Birmingham Street is a representative example of a
factory-style building fashioned in the Art Deco style. In 1944, Mathers & Haldenby designed
an eastern addition to the manufacturing building in the Art Deco style and continued to design
additions to the complex until the early-1970s.

Following further research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 60
Birmingham Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal
designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City of Toronto
also applies when evaluating properties for its Heritage Register.

A Site Plan Approval application was submitted on June 4, 2020 and is currently under review.
Two community consultations were held on September 29, 2020. City staff have dialogued
with the applicant and their consultants in identifying the cultural heritage value of the large
industrial building complex.

Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the
Official Plan Heritage Policies.

structures that were constructed from 1931-c.2000s (Figure 3). Campbell Soup Company,
Limited, of Canada, continued to own and occupy the plant until 2019. It was designed by the
prolific Toronto architectural firm Mathers & Haldenby, and the principal (south) elevation of
the manufacturing building fronting Birmingham Street is a representative example of a
factory-style building fashioned in the Art Deco style. In 1944, Mathers & Haldenby designed
an eastern addition to the manufacturing building in the Art Deco style and continued to design
additions to the complex until the early-1970s.

Following further research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 60
Birmingham Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal
designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City of Toronto
also applies when evaluating properties for its Heritage Register.

A Site Plan Approval application was submitted on June 4, 2020 and is currently under review.
Two community consultations were held on September 29, 2020. City staff have dialogued
with the applicant and their consultants in identifying the cultural heritage value of the large
industrial building complex.

Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the
Official Plan Heritage Policies.
