D
D
B
B
E
Good
morning,
members
of
committee
counselors,
my
name-
is
emily
reason:
I'm
a
planner
and
a
partner
with
urban
strategies,
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
I
believe
that
I
had
sent
through
some
visual
materials
to
walk
you
through
this
morning
and
so
I'll
indicate
page
numbers
of
the
pdf
as
we
go.
E
E
This
is
a
mid-rise
building.
That's
been
designed
by
quadrangle
architects.
It
presents
as
an
eight-story
building
with
a
mechanical
pen
tops,
but
here
the
rear
side
of
the
mechanical
penthouse
to
the
south
has
been
designed
with
pop-up
spaces
associated
with
the
eighth
floor
units
to
provide
access
to
their
terraces.
E
It
provides
198
units
to
this
stretch
of
the
queensway
and,
in
my
opinion,
is
consistent
with
provincial
planning
policy
and
the
official
plan,
and
will
be
a
welcome
addition
to
reurbanization
of
the
queen's
way
page.
Four.
You
can
see
that
this
is
a
mixed-use
building
with
lovely
designed
retail
at
grade.
The
stepping
down
at
the
rear
provides
a
transition
to
the
neighborhoods
for
the
south,
and
importantly,
this
building
is
proposed
to
provide
a
range
of
unit
types
and
other
features
going
to
page
five.
E
Boulevard
tree
planting
will
be
provided
on
all
sides
of
the
building
on
queensway,
wesley
and
kenhurst,
and
the
orientation
of
this
u-shaped
building
will
provide
a
lovely
597
square
meter
outdoor
south
facing
courtyard
for
residents,
and
that
courtyard
is
directly
linked
through
to
the
lobby
space
to
provide
a
view
straight
through
to
the
green
space
from
the
queensway,
as
well
as
to
some
of
the
amenity
spaces.
On
the
ground
floor
of
the
building.
E
Going
to
page
six,
this
building
also
contains
a
wide
range
of
very
interesting
family-friendly
features.
It
includes
stroller
parking
on
nearly
every
floor,
which
will
be
a
great
benefit
to
parents
who
are
dealing
with
that
important
mobility
item
and
those
key
stages
of
life,
as
you
may
have
seen
from
some
of
the
other
renderings.
There
are
very
deep
terraces
that
allow
families
to
gather
to
eat
and
spend
time
outside.
E
As
I
mentioned,
there's
a
range
of
units
in
this
building,
including
90
two-bedroom
units
and
23-bedroom
units,
including
innovative.
What
we're
calling
in-law
suites,
which
are
grade
related
units
that
have
a
lock-off
door
in
the
inside
that
can
provide
a
separate
living
area
within
the
unit
for
for
an
older
parent
or
an
older
family
member.
That's
come
back
to
stay
or
perhaps
support
within
the
house.
E
And
finally,
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
their
collaborative
approach
to
working
with
us
on
this
process
and
also
want
to
congratulate
them
for
fielding
an
all-female
team
that
support
the
development
application
through
the
process.
So,
in
summary,
I
support
staff's
recommendation
to
approve
this
project
and
I'm
available
for
any
questions.
Thank
you.
D
E
D
E
E
D
C
B
B
C
C
Yeah,
just
one
question
to
staff:
I'm
I'm
reading
the
the
comments
from
the
school
boards,
the
public
and
the
catholic
board.
It's
very
I
it's
very
unusual.
I
know
in
the
past
school
boards
haven't
commented
at
all,
but
both
school
boards
are
commenting
that
there
is
sufficient
space
at
the
local
schools,
correct,
which
is
kind
of.
C
Unusual
through
you
chair,
the
both
the
school
boards
have
provided
those
comments
and
they
both
indicated
that
they
were
satisfied
with
that
yeah
well,
which
is
good
because
in
the
past
usually
the
school
boards
haven't
commented
on
development
applications,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
they
that
they
they
are
commenting
now
on
development
applications.
Thank.
B
B
Creek
trail
so
that
reads:
four
and
twelve
thousand
referrals,
local
parks
and
trails
located
in
ward,
three,
including
but
not
limited
to
grand
avenue
park
and
medical
crew
trail
park.
With
that
this
development
has
been
a
fantastic
all.
Women
teams
come
forward
to
the
consultants
we
heard
emily
today,
and
I
want
to
thank
my
former
colleague
councillor
to
channel.
This
is
for
my
colleagues
on
this
lancaster
site.
So
people
are
anxious
to
get
that
other
counselor
right.
The
channel
ran
on
that
last
term,
getting
rid
of
it.
It
is
gone.
B
We've
seen
a
few
applicants
come
in
prior
to
this
team
here
with
towers
close
to
20
stories.
That
was
not
to
be
supported,
so
we
saw
tanos,
develop,
came
in
and
that
didn't
go
through.
But
this
all
female
team
is
a
fantastic
job
bringing
forward
the
public
means,
I
think,
we're
pretty
well
received
by
most
the
community.
It's
gonna
be
a
great
addition
to
the
queensway.
B
I
think
it's
regional
development
and
with
that
I
ask
for
support
and
also
just
like
the
on
the
all-female
team,
just
as
you
saw
the
stroller
parking
that
I
think,
that's
the
you
know
what
you
see
there
in
this
development,
so
it's
been
great
to
have
that.
I
think
it's
the
first
of
its
kind.
I
know
in
our
city-
and
I
think,
probably
in
our
country,
but
it's
great
to
see
this
all
female
team
bring
this
forward
and
I'm
happy
to
move
the
recommendations
with
my
amendment.
B
B
B
B
B
A
F
Thanks,
my
name
is
tyler
peck
and
with
wnd
associates
with
the
applicants
on
behalf
of
sunrise
senior
living,
I
only
registered
to
speak
in
order
to
answer
any
questions
that
members
of
the
public
or
council
may
have.
But
I
see
there
are
no
other
registered
speakers.
I
just
want
to
confirm
our
desire
to
proceed
with
the
deputy
mayor's
office
and
city
planning
towards
a
community
council
meeting
for
this
zoning
bylaw
amendment
application
for
a
four-story,
assisted
living
and
memory
care
building
on
rural
road.
F
D
Thanks,
mr
chair
I'll,
ask
a
quick
one
if
that's:
okay,
yep
quick!
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
talking
to
us
tyler,
as
you
would
imagine,
once
the
sign
goes
up.
I've
started
to
receive
some
curious
inquiries
about
what
the
future
of
this
site
was
going
to
be,
I
think,
was
an
old
gas
station
which
bag,
which
fronts
a
whole
bunch
of
houses,
single
detached
homes
in
a
pretty
quiet
neighborhood.
D
F
Sure
the
site
contains
a
current
local
commercial
zone.
That's
a
site
specifically
limited
to
the
former
automobile
service
station
on
the
site,
so
we'd
be
asking
for
a.
We
are
asking
for
a
rezoning
of
the
site
to
a
residential
zone
which
permits
the
assisted
living
memory
care
facility
that
we're
proposing
at
four
stories,
which
is
consistent
with
the
neighborhood's
policies
of
the
official
environment.
F
Absolutely
I
understand
from
my
clients
that
they
are
planning
to
proceed
with
a
development
sign
on
the
site,
which
will
provide
a
either
a
website
or
an
email
for
more
information.
What
I'll
do
counselors
endeavor
to
get
that
information
into
your
office
as
soon
as
possible,
so
that
you
can
provide
that
to
your
constituents
who
may
have
comments
on
the
application.
D
And
the
last
question
is
just
given
that
it
literally
fronts
people's
front
doors
and
and
and
driveways
and
so
on,
because
there
are
single
houses
and
there's
not
flank,
but
it's
it's
across
the
street
from
people
have.
I
got
your
commitment
to
continue
to
work
on
the
site
plan
and
the
the
generally
the
local
concerns
of
folks
that
are
going
to
have
to
live
with
this
as
they're
immediate
across
the
street
or
next
door.
Neighbor.
F
Of
course,
we've
designed
the
site
with
an
appropriate
setback
and
frontage
and
an
entrance
onto
willow
york,
as
would
be
expected
of
the
major
street
driveway
area
off
of
chapman
road,
providing
access
to
the
site
similar
to
the
driveways
on
the
north
side
of
chapman
road
and
then
generous
setbacks
in
the
courtyard
area
on
the
east
side
of
the
site
facing
renault
crescent
and
we'll
continue
to
work
with
staff
regarding
matters
of
urban
design
and
driveway
design.
In
fact,
we've
got
a
workshop
set
up
with
them
this
week
to
address
those
matters.
D
B
B
B
Great,
so
this
being
the
first
tod,
I
know
myself
and
I
know
I
know
your
answer
is,
but
we
want
to
be
seen
as
working
with
the
province
and
make
this
one
work
to
be
a
model
for
the
rest.
Is
that
correct?
Absolutely
right?
So
it's
been
hard
to
get
this
developer
to
the
table.
Do
you
think
they're?
Can
you
how
many
issues
are
out
there
are
resolved,
and
can
you
summarize
the
main
issues.
G
There
are
a
number
of
issues
that
that
have
yet
to
be
resolved
that
we
speak
to
in
the
staff
report.
Counselor.
There's
the
the
the
fact
that
they're
asking
for
two
towers
on
the
site
where
one
tower
was
previously
proposed,
which
is
a
bit
of
a
challenge.
There
are
shadowing
impacts
on
the
neighborhoods
that
surround
this.
The
immediate
property
to
the
north
is
a
designated
cemetery
facility.
G
G
There
are
still
some
things
we
need
to
work
on
and
that's,
ultimately,
the
message
from
the
staff
report
that
the
staff
would
like
to
say
there
are
challenges
with
the
application,
as
proposed.
There's
no
doubt
about
it,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
hope.
Moving
forward
with
the
context
plan
and
that's
what
we
want
to
focus
on
is
moving
forward
through
the
context
plan.
B
Thank
you
so
when
you
say
access
to
the
site
so
we're
this
could
be
a
pretty
busy
area
where
everything
gets
built
up.
So
people
you
know
walking,
there's
a
lot
of
walking
traffic
people
coming
in
cars
drop
off.
So
when
you're
saying
access
to
the
site,
there's
major
problems
with
how
people
would
travel
through
that
site
as
a
pedestrian
and
also
people
coming
in
dropping
off
picking
up
that's
what
we're
talking
about.
G
Yes,
that's
that's
quite
correct,
counselor
again
as
currently
designed,
there's
a
couple
of
driveways
that
are
proposed
with
the
proposal
that
that's
in
front
of
us.
There
are
a
couple
of
driveways
that
are
proposed
on
the
other
side
through
39,
as
well
as
an
access
road
by
metrolinx,
and
we
our
position
was,
if
you
coordinate
and
consolidate
them,
you
get
away
from
a
lot
of
those
concerns
and
it
gives
you
the
opportunity
to
actually
move
some
of
the
go
facilities
around
as
well
to
open
it
up
and
allow
a
lot
better
relationship
for
pedestrians,
cyclists.
G
B
G
C
B
B
G
Sure,
thank
you
very
much.
Counselor
yeah.
The
minister's
zoning
order
is
right
under
the
planning
act
from
the
minister
of
municipal
affairs
and
housing
to
effectively
for
one
of
a
better
term,
override
municipal
land
use
planning
and
implement
a
zoning
bylaw
that
the
municipality
basically
has
to
implement
and
the
the
notion
of
the
minister
zoning
order.
I
mean
the
city
has
seen
a
few
of
them
over
the
last
little
while
is
basically
to
for
one
of
the
term
expedite
development.
B
G
It
depends
how
the
province
actually
plays
a
councillor,
for
example,
the
one
the
administer
zoning
order
that
was
utilized
for
a
long-term
care
facility
at
the
humber
hospital
on
finch
avenue
in
council,
pruitt's
ward.
The
province
actually
approached
us
about
how
to
frame
the
minister's
zoning
order
to
make
it
work.
So,
in
instances
where
there's
communications
between
the
municipality
and
the
province,
we
can
help
frame
the
minister
zoning
orders.
In
other
instances,
the
ministry,
for
example,
you've
seen
the
press
recently
about
the
the
the
three
that
came
last
friday.
G
B
Great
those
are
my
questions.
Thank
you,
mr
crestwell.
Any
questions,
speakers
I
will
speak
and
I'm
going
to
be
moving.
We
send
this
to
council
without
recommendations.
This
is
a
pretty
important
site,
the
medical
triangle
down
there.
We
have
a
lot
of
development
in
the
hop
down
there
and
a
lot
of
pedestrians
will
be
traveling
through
a
lot
of
cars
coming
through
and
it's
just
been
difficult.
You
know
this
is
our
the
first
transfer
development
in
the
city.
We
want
to
make
sure
we
get
it
right.
B
I
know
planning
wants
to
get
it
right
with
the
province.
The
province
has
reached
out
to
me
through
the
premier's
office
on
this
one
and
they
weren't
happy
with
recommendation
number
six,
but
I
think
they
are
willing
to
sit
down
and
talk
to
planning
otherwise
I'll,
be
removed,
I'll
be
moving
number
six
at
council,
but
I
want
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
sit
down.
We
get
this
developer
to
the
table.
B
We've
had
a
few
problems
from
the
get-go
talking
to
there's
two
different
divisions
of
mexicans
who
were
talking
to
each
other,
so
we
had
to
get
the
premier's
office
involved
to
get
them
together,
which
we
did,
but
I
think
you
heard
mr
cresswell
statements.
If
we
all
sit
down
at
this
table,
we
could
work
it
out.
So
with
that,
I
want
to
move
it
to
to
council
nation
hoping
that
we
can
get
ready
to
sit
down
and
talk
about.
B
This
is
a
very
important
site,
a
lot
of
density
going
in
in
a
very
short
time,
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
give
the
province
an
opportunity
to
get
this
developer
to
the
table
city
planning
and
have
all
the
faith
in
our
city
planners
to
sit
down
with
the
other
two
parties
and
make
this
a
successful
first
tod
in
the
city.
So
with
that,
I
ask
for
your
support
any
further
speakers.
Councillor
dunziana.
C
B
D
B
C
Yes,
I
I
do
support
your
comments
and
support
your
recommendation,
and
you
know
I
think
that
what
we
need
to
look
at
and
where
there's
improved
transit
in
the
city,
we
do
have
intensification
in
these
areas
and
good
and
get
good
development.
I
have
a
few
in
my
ward
as
well,
so
I
do
support
what
your
intent
is,
and
you
know
on
on
your
motion
that
you're
moving
into
council
without
recommendation,
but
I
just
want
to
make
it
very
clear.
I
do
support
your
comments
and
support
the
the
province's
intent
as
well.
B
C
B
C
A
B
B
Here:
okay,
seven:
here:
okay,
so
no
question
staff,
so
I'll
just
speak.
I
would
like
to
move
the
recommendations
back
in
2018
I
had
onsite
meeting
with
about
20
residents
on
the
street.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
are
cutting
through
to
go
to
costco.
There
was
a
petition
submitted
50
of
the
73
households,
townhouse
complex,
we're
asking
for
this
one-way
street.
We
delivered
flyers
up
and
down
the
street.
B
B
B
C
Yeah
we've
got
a
very
good
lift
between
the
the
two
growth
it
just
doesn't
have
have
the
volume
there
just
yet,
based
on
our
study
conducted
last
year
to
warrant
an
always
stop.
There's
some
speculation
that
in
the
future
it
will.
But
when
we
did
our
study
back
in
november
2019,
it
didn't
meet
the
warmth.
B
B
Volume,
so
I
disagreed
you
wouldn't
be
in
the
world,
would
it
which
I
very
rarely
do
answer
that
so
those
are
my
questions
any
further
questions
of
staff
to
speak
I'll
just
speak
very
quickly:
more
development,
lakeshore,
major
minto,
townhouse
development.
I
have
a
motion.
Sorry
nancy.
We
put
the
motion
on
the
screen.
B
B
We
had
a
deal
with
the
beer
store
to
move
off
the
lakeshore
for
a
better
urban
feel
to
the
development
which
was
great
to
work
with
the
beer
sort
of
make
that
happen,
but
there's
some
more
commercial
retail
in
there
that
they
have
to
travel
in
there
to
get
to
the
back
to
get
to
that
parking.
As
I
said
next
door,
there's
another
big
application
tell
us
it's
just
going
to
mirror
what's
happening
there.
Now
it's
a
pretty
busy
area
and
the
residents
have
been
asking
me
for
this.
