Okay, if you're not here, I'll proceed to our second registered speaker, Matthew Garnett and you might be Matthew correct, okay, welcome, Matthew, there's a clock on your left. You'll have five minutes to speak to the item when you're ready, I'll start your clock.

F

Hello counsel, everybody hear me okay, yes, thank you very much for for having me I am here on behalf my name is Matthew Garnett nice to see some of you I'm here on behalf of one seven: zero, nine four, nine two dolmas group Ontario Limited I'm here today to talk about our holdings at 291 college 3 west.

F

We respectfully are coming before you today to Toronto historic committee council to request a deferral of this motion.

F

The basis upon our request stems primarily from the fact that there were urban design guidelines that were due to be released or made available to interested parties in the staff report dated April 10. The design guidelines were to be an aid in evaluating the impact of the draft OPA, which would have an effect on properties located within the boundaries of the College Street West study.

F

These guidelines were to be released to interested parties on April 2. They were released on April 27, which is roughly three business days prior to today's vote.

F

Now, to be clear, these guidelines were not like a two or three page document that had little or no effect or bearing on the essence of the draft OPA. This was a 78 page document that was released with many technical details that is critical to the interpretation of the draft OPA. In our opinion, this is unacceptable and could even be viewed as high-handed.

F

The fair and right thing to do would be to give the affected land owners sufficient time to receive and digest the consequences of these proposed guidelines and to have the landholders consultants evaluate the merits and the consequences of saying.

F

Obviously, this has not been afforded to us and therefore we object.

F

Furthermore, we object to the statement on page to item number seven of the April 25th staff report, which indicates that the revisions between the 10th and the 25th staff reports were technical in nature and that they didn't really require any further public consultation respectively. We did not agree, furthermore, while present at this vote on behalf of the owner, I'd like to summarize the complete objection that we have towards the draft OPA for the Cauvery study.

F

We're open to its interpretation, but one of the major concerns that we have with in the draft OPA is obviously the proposed restriction on height being limited to 30 meters or approximately 9 storeys.

F

Simply put, we feel this proposal is egregious. The intersection of college and Spadina is in the core.

F

The city core, the Toronto core in the downtown zone and therefore, and in conformity with the provincial policy tall buildings and high density, are to be encouraged and embraced by municipalities to be limiting height, as this proposed, we feel would fly in the face of logic and completely undermine the provincial requirement of intensification along major transit corridors being that of Spadina and college, which has exactly that in east-west transit route along College in a north-south transit loop along Spadina. We feel, if height, isn't going to be supported here then, where on earth?

F

Should it be this proposal respectfully, we feel puts the City of Toronto backwards and does nothing to propel us forward in our efforts to reshape the city and to make it the amazing city that is promising to become.

F

If cities like Vaughan and Markham and Mississauga are all looking to us to set an example of how to embrace density and height and re intensification along major transit corridors and Vaughn and Markham are now allowing 40 to 50 storey buildings. Why on earth are we actually looking at limiting this to 9 storeys your council?

F

If you will not consider our objection to the proposed draft OPA for the College Street study, then at the very least, we urge you to consider the merits of granting us the landowners a little bit of time to review the 78 page document to see how we can work it out with our proposed plans.

F

Thank you for your time. Thank.

C

You very much Billy, it's actually Matthew before you go away, I believe those questions for you or sensor, pressing and.

D

Matthew, thank you for taking the time no.

F

Problem Thank You Council, your.

D

Concerns I do appreciate it just two questions, one over the course of the three-year period. There were a series of public meetings, three of them, yes, I'm, just curious, whether whether you and and your your team participated in any of those yeah.

F

So I I wasn't party to them. Councilor. Thank you, but my principal was okay. So.

D

So they did participated to make sure they did yeah and then the second thing and I appreciate the question of what is an appropriate height. So I guess the question would be that I would put to. You is what is the appropriate height in your mind? Well,.

F

D

Are putting a number here and otherwise why do a study? So what is if this is too low? What is too high? Well.

F

I mean I I. Think from from our perspective, if you look at Bathurst as a westerly boundary, we could understand being west of a Thurs to maybe look at that as more of an Avenue study and to be limiting height west of Bathurst, but to be going from west of Spadina to east of Bathurst and then dropping it. The minute you cross Medina, which is in the heart of the downtown core I, mean just to the east of Spadina. You've, nice stone, Kappa 25 stories. You've got the parallax approval now that mr.

F

Bronco got the Oh at the OMB 429 stories or 90 meters like so where's. The planning justification to drop from 90 minutes to 30, mil.

D

But I'm Lucia I just want to really zero in because we are proceeding with the College Street study. We.

F

Know, though, what.

D

In your mind is the appropriate hype. We are putting a number here and it's I don't think it's and it's good enough to say it's too low everybody always wants. There are those who want.

F

There enough some.

D

Say it's always too high and some say it's always too low. So give me a number well.

F

I think, okay, so I will. So if you look at the corners right, you look at the four corners I. Think it's it's a provincial objective and if I'm not mistaken, forgive.

D

Me it's just what is the number forgive me I like we can talk back and forth planning justification all day, I'd love to. But what is the number you know.

F

I'm going to reserve comment on what the number is. Thank you very much. Thank.

D

C

Thank you. Are there any other questions of our speaker? Thank you very much. Thank.

F

C

Our next register speaker is sue Dexter.

The first is to applaud the College Street study and the second is to draw your attention to an unused unrewarding process which might be applicable across the city, we're veterans of five Avenue studies and the U of T secondary plan, and we think we've hit on a recommendation of our own to you.

G

We all know the usual formulation of studies, working group, meeting room public meeting report, but in the college street process we've hit on something else: community and city engagement of an unusual kind, and we want you to know how it worked, we're all used to walking around the city. We think we know it what's there and we think we're capable of planning it in a room somewhere else.

G

Not so. First a confession: we were on the working group, we were the spokespeople for our neighborhood and we didn't have a clue. We knew bits about it. We thought we knew about it, but we actually didn't blog. Fabula was walking around one day and he said: did you notice all the heritage buildings on Spadina and I thought all of the kind of junky buildings I mean who knew and he had seen there were lots of three on four row: Victorian business buildings with lovely decoration, hidden behind the clutter of signs.

G

There had been a block of heritage already identified on the strip and occasional others, but nothing more was it worth looking at was Bob's question.

G

Enter Kathy Naismith with her little camera for box brownie and she did the drunken sailor elevation. You see there and when you look at the third frame down, what do you see but a row of four of the most interesting heritage buildings? You look and you see more heritage in the second frame, you see more heritage, first praying more heritage.

G

One draft of this study had thought there was room for more fights on the north side of Spadina between bath errs on the north side of college, between Bathurst and Spadina. If there was heritage there, how can you treat adjacency with pop-ups if Heights were allowed to increase? The report also identified 40 to 45 degree, angle appliances, the rear of the college buildings? We got out the measuring tape and discovered eight-foot lanes and some no lanes at all between the buildings in the neighborhood.

G

If the planes were actually enforce and setbacks from the front and forced there was little to be gained from the extra stories. What worked in the office did not work on the street, then someone suggested we do a field trip. Suddenly we had the chance to work together to find out whether anyone else could see what we saw: Linda, MacDonald, James, correct staff from Planning heritage and urban design.

G

All almost everybody in the role behind these counselors arrived to participate in our walk about with three of four neighborhoods, led by Robert Elsa in and out and around and threading through and finding infill, the hydro block. Have you ever been there all kinds of stuff? We never knew. Was there and I? Think it's fair to say by the end of that process, I was persuaded of things, I would not have predicted. Ideas emerged and I think staff really listened.

G

To our delight, the College Street study now includes a heritage evaluation of the Northside of arts, section of colleagues which is character area a we love being that and the Heights are unchanged that is golden and came from the dialogue. So here's our recommendation to you, the process of working group public meeting should be amended slightly one of the working group sessions at a point where staff is throwing out ideas since.

C

I can have sorry to interrupt if I can have your final thought. Yeah.

G

It should be a walkabout build in a walkabout, because that's the only way of knowing what's actually there and for everybody to understand what's there and you can do it, it's easy. It's a really great idea. Thank you. I believe.

C

Cal High students.

G

C

Councillor Krusty may have a question for you. Ask me a question. Okay, thank you very much. No any other members who would like to ask questions our speaker, pretty obvious. No! Okay, thank you sue! Thank you. Robert I'm, going to just acknowledge councillor McMahon I know she has an announcement you'd like to make sorry.

B

Good morning, everyone sorry to interrupt this item, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to welcome the environmental Commissioner of Ontario dr. diane sacks who's here with us, our chief planner today and she's.

B

Like to thank her for all the great work she does and look forward to hopefully hearing from her about our big transform, tío report coming to parks and environment this week, great wonderful.

C

Thank you very much and welcome so. Are there any other we're coming back to item 24.3? Are there any other members of the public who would like to who are here? Who would like to speak to this item? Okay, seeing none we're just going to bring this into community council. Any members of the community council would like to ask questions of staff.

C

Counselor Krusty I.

D

Mr. Lynn turn mr. Linton there's been some correspondence and we've heard from a decadent raising some questions. Some of the correspondences related to previous rezoning that have already been approved, but site plans not received others related to potential applications. If a motion was brought forward asking to be planning to report directly to Council regarding the matters raised in correspondence, would you be able to do that? Yes,.

K

Through you, madam chair, those.

D

Are all my questions? Thank you. Okay,.

C

And any other members who would like to ask questions of staff? No okay! Anyone to speak to this item; counselor Krusty to speak, aye.

D

I'll, kick it off. I was asking councillor perks there for a moment to say by me 30 seconds to organize my thoughts. I mean 30 seconds so.

B

What was that between you and councillor Cressey? Just now, you planned that didn't hear.

K

I'll, take this pardon me he's.

C

Pleading the American system you're.

B

Taking the fifties you can't do that here, but if you could just explain to me the relationship between an application, that's partway through, but not yet complete and a planning study we run into this all the time. I was wondering if I can get some advice. huh You.

K

Men and speaker chair the it really goes to wait. We we have applications that come in before studies during studies and after studies. If they come in before studies, they will argue that they should be evaluated based on the rules that applied at that time.

K

But we learn through the evaluation of that application and if a study commences during the evaluation of that application, that there are, there are learnings from the analysis that we may apply to that application and ultimately, it goes to weight as to what we. What our advice is the City Council. At the end of the day, we have a number of applications that have been approved and some of them under construction in this area, other applications that are under review.

K

There are some, and one of the speakers spoke to a piece of land where they have not yet filed. So we, the urban design guidelines in the Official Plan amendment that counsel is being asked to consider, will apply to any new applications. Thank you.

C

Okay, any members of the councillor crécy and.

D

Thank You councillor Kirk I'll, begin by moving a motion can be put on the screen, along with the staff recommendations, and this is requesting 2d planning to report directly to Council regarding matters raised in correspondence as well as by our deputy ensign. I could make a note on that. That includes a recommendation from our deputies to look at walkabouts being part of all our processes for planning studies. Let me speak briefly about the college street studying what brings us here today. First of all, I want to thank our residents for a very engaged process.

D

This has been more than three years in the works we have had more than eight meetings, in addition to a working group and a walk about, and there aren't just three residents associations along this corridor. In fact, there are six because we have three different residents associations in Kensington Market, all of whom support this. So I want to thank our residents for not just being part of the process, but I in fact helping to improve it and make it better. I want in particular, because so much work has gone into this recognized staff.

D

City Planning, Michelle and Linda, who are here, heritage, preservation, services, Tamera, Samara and guy, who did a great deal of work and urban design, James and ran and I want to note Linda, McDonald's and James crack in particular, who really took the reins on this one and helped to ensure that we drove this to a positive outcome and as well property owners right along the corridor who have been part of this process. The context for the College Street study. This is Bathurst to McCall. It is a range of diverse, not just neighborhoods, but different characters.

D

You have Kensington Market Harvard Village, the notice for Donna and College, the University of Toronto. You also have the Grange in these RS have been articulated in the study: six distinct characters, each of these and six distinct character areas, and in looking at this study, of course, we've dealt with that which we always deal with built form. What are appropriate? Heights street wall conditions?

D

We've looked at the built form but, as we know, the success of these character areas cannot be looked at solely in the context of built form which does matter it's the experience at the street and this College Street study speaks to that public realm green spaces retail floor plates in some of the areas that matters a great deal for the character of these streets and, of course, heritage both looking at specific properties and how we relate, including how we protect certain views on college around Knox College.

D

Now, when we do these planning studies and all of us in this chamber, deal with these planning states frequently, we do it with the full recognition that our city is growing and with the recognition that we can't grow out. Therefore, we must grow up. That is the framework upon which we conduct these planning studies.

D

It is not to prevent development but in fact, to plan development and in doing so we're doing that with the full understanding that we need to ensure that we are building these neighborhoods, not just building buildings, that we value the stable neighborhoods in Toronto. But we don't want the stable neighborhoods in Toronto to be places where only the wealthy can live. Therefore, we must intensify in the edges around the stable neighborhoods in an appropriate matter.

D

That's an important point for all of us to note is that we value stable neighborhoods, but with supply and demand in the housing market. Those are becoming pricier and pricier. Councillor Layton managed to get into the housing market. I was a couple years too late.

D

I will live on the edges of stable neighborhoods as I grow up, which is why we need to build on the edges and the onus is on communities, I, think communities and council to articulate a vision, because we can't just say no, but we have a responsibility to articulate what yes looks like, and so there have been some concerns raised and I want to acknowledge them. And that's what my report speaks to, and staff will report. There are some residents, I would say many residents who say it's still too high.

D

We would like to build underground, not above-ground. There are some who still say that there are also some property owners who still say this is too low to that I would say the following is we need certainty? We need certainty in a plan. If we're going to ask communities to say yes, then they need to have a say in what their neighborhoods going to look like. In this case, we have had neighborhoods, develop, I, say I, develop a plan and bring it so communities can't just say no.

D

They need to work with us to say yes, but guess what developers can't just say? No, either developers can't always just say it's too low. They also must give us an, and if we are going to build neighborhoods with certainty to ensure that they're livable that they're equitable that they're sustainable, then we all together must work to plan these neighborhoods. It's not easy.

D

We know that it's hard, but when we do plan these neighborhoods together, when we do the walkabouts, when we drill into what the vision is, we don't just manage change, but we allow a city to embrace change and that's what this study does and again. I want to thank the residents I want to thank our city staff and I want to thank those around the table for indulging me in a longer speech than I'd planned. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank.

C

You very much are there any other members who would like to speak to this item? Okay and I have a recorded vote on that. Yes, you may all those in favor of the report. This is a request for a recorded vote. Councillor Davis councillor maahox councillor Krusty councilor want am councillor Layton, councillor, perks, councillor Meccano, councillor, Matt, low councilman, McMahon councillor by Lao, councillor Fletcher, okay, thank you, tee 24.4, 60, shooters, Street and 187 to 189 Church, Street zoning amendment application, there's a final report for 27.

C

Are there members of the public who are here to speak to this item?

C

We are on item number T, 24.4, 60, shooter, Street, 187 to 189 Church Street. No members of the public I know that there was one he Mark. Smith cannot stay. He's pointed out some questions for me, which I may ask for him to staff at that appropriate time. Are there any members of the public who would like to speak to this item? Okay, then we'll bring it right into community councils.

C

Questions of staff. Okay, I will have questions of staff, largely I'm, taking this on behalf of Mark Smith, who was not able to stay for to provide his deputation questions of staff?

C

Do you believe that Community Impact has been fully studied on this application? Have the voices of the community been adequately considered.

B

Thank You counselor welcome, yes, I do believe they have been I. Myself was present at the community consultation meeting. We answered and responded to those who were present and following that meeting I've been engaged with members of the public who had questions and those were taken into consideration when forming the recommendations of the report and.

C

How many members of the public attended a public meeting? Do you recall there were roughly eight members, eight members of the public to attend a meeting with a 42 storey tower proposal affecting heritage building? Is that correct? At.

B

The time of the community consultation meeting the proposal had changed to a twenty nine story. Building and yes, there were only eight members present and.

C

You believe that might be one of the reasons why we have lease. Also few people come out for this meeting. The fact that the building of the height of the building was already dramatically reduced.

B

It could have been I can't I can't exactly speculate that.

C

There is no there's, no provision of social housing, that's being provided in this application. Is that correct and that's correct? Do you believe we should be pushing to increase the affordable housing stock in the City of Toronto through applications such as this, especially in neighborhoods such as this? As.

B

Through this application, we are allocating section 37 money towards affordable housing and.

K

Just a supplement, it's a comment. It is a key issue that we're examining, through teok or at the direction of committee and through the work that we've been doing with communities across the downtown looking at how we can improve the policy frameworks to actually integrate, affordable housing in a wider range of housing, that that serves a greater number of people and that will include Direction 437, but also other important approaches that look at the scale of various developments and treat them in the sense that we are.

K

When we look at a large community horizontally, we are applying the same principles when we look at large vertical communities and looking at policy options that would move us toward more of a mandate system that includes affordable housing as a key component of large-scale housing projects. But.

C

In the area that that has been economically depressed, an area that has seen quite a significant number of development applications, is it not? Is it not the role of City Planning, as well as the City Council, to advocate that all developments provide some form of affordable housing? Do we not have the power to do that currently,.

K

We we don't have a policy regime that allows the inclusion of the affordable housing component and as a bright basis or on a more deliberate basis. It has to be secured to a section, 37 mechanism and that's why, in Co core we're looking at a more robust policy framework as I described. Looking at large-scale developments that integrate this as an essential element of large-scale developments. And if.

C

You did have the planning powers to insist that applications that are coming through requesting additional height and density. If you have the powers to insist that there be provisions of affordable housing on-site, would you use those powers if.

K

They were enforced, Official, Plan policies or other policies of City Council. Yes, we would the.

C

Proximity of this particular location to hospitals seems to to bring about a thought that there could be a correlation of this site to to provide housing for seniors, for the reasons that you were not able to push for affordable housing in this site, are you able to and push an advocate for, affordable housing for seniors on this site? Is it the same rationale, while you can't do it, I would.

K

Say it's generally the same, be certainly from a program point of view we can encourage and we do encourage applicants to think about the neighborhood's they're building in. But we don't have a policy mandate to do that and that.

C

Would have to come from the province well,.

K

Ultimately, power is both from the province, but also policy regime that we install in the city's Official Plan and.

C

Then, just a final question to planning in your in your professional opinion, we have a. We have a staff report, that's proving approp approval. Is it correct to take that? Take it under consideration that you are satisfied with the application. You believe this constitutes good planning for the area.

C

Yes, counselor, that's correct, a question to heritage stuff, this application that does affect heritage properties on the on the site. Are you satisfied with the considerations and treatment of the heritage property on site? Yes, sir,.

B

You, madam chair, we look very closely at the adjacency, the adjacent heritage properties and also the impact of this project on st. Michael's Cathedral in terms of shadowing and we're satisfied that the impacts had been appropriately mitigated and that.

C

The applicant has been cooperative while working with you throughout the process. Yes, that's right! Okay, thank you very much. Are there any other questions for our staff? Okay, I'll just I'll be moving the recommendations in the staff report. I recognize that Mark Smith was here and not able to state it behind the depute I took the time to ask some of his questions. I know that he may be reviewing the proceedings afterwards or perhaps he may be coming back and asking additional questions.

C

Applications that are coming into the downtown East into our garden district obviously caused the community quite a bit of concern. There is they're starting to we're, starting to see a far more applications than we normally have seen. However, I do believe that the staff have done the very best that they can and to review the application.

C

The application that has not received not generated necessarily a lot of Correspondence in any way as I compare to other files that we have, and it doesn't mean necessarily as those concerns are not legitimate, they've, just not as loud as we have as they have been, but I think that staff have clearly demonstrated that they have vigorously vetted the application. They have worked with the applicant to bring the height of this building from 42 stories to 29 stories. The treatment of heritage is now considered appropriate. There is security of some benefits for the local community.

C

That includes a significant contribution to streetscape improvement to public art, to housing, as well as community and cultural space enhancement. There's also, the provision of 10% family size units in the building with the least three bedrooms, with 34 units of three and three-bedroom condominiums 2-bedroom at 97 units representing 30%, only 7 units of these, as proposed our bachelors, which is rather unusual.

C

But that's what we have- and you know much can be said about intensification and I- think that what would be great if we can get to a place where we're able to ensure that there is some semblance of affordable housing and every single development application. That is the ideal situation or at least provide a a very powerful planning tool that allows us to secure additional benefits that can help people, especially in a very heated housing market.

C

Unfortunately, those tools are not before us today and I think that the staff have done the very best that they can to work within the framework in the legislative tools that they have and I am satisfied that this constitutes for our community a good development application. Given the process that has that has taken place and with that I'd be asking for your support to adopt the staff recommendation, any questions of the mover being none all those in favor of the recommendations in the report. Okay, any opposed seeing none that is adopted. Thank you very much.

C

Moving on, we are an item: number te, 24.5, 482, 494, Yonge, Street and 3 Grosvenor Street zoning amendment application and rental housing demolition application. This is the final report. Are there any members of the public who would like to speak to this item? Okay, we're on item T, 24.5, I'm! Katherine. Are you here to speak to this item?

C

That is it okay?

C

Katherine? If you want to loudly state your name into the microphone, and you have five minutes when you're.

A

Ready I think the mic is on okay. My name is Katherine Holden I am here on behalf of the Bay Clover Hill Community Association, in which this particular development is located. This development is being given the support of our association. We have worked for a long time on this particular development. It took us to the OMB for the official plan, amendment 183, which is the North downtown young planning framework turned into policy and based on policies coming out of that particular OPA.

A

There are restrictions on shadow to be created in a brand new park in our community that has dictated the height of this building. The building was sold from the body assembling the land to Kresser developments, who are presenting the plan for this property.

A

We held a working group that went for three sessions in January February March of this year. It started out a little bit with a few ruffled feathers, let's say, but they eventually turned into quite a smooth working group which did not really tamper with the tower, particularly except for a little of adjustment around where the Clocktower will be is situated.

A

However, did tamper significantly with the ground level and the podium area and the lane area and the community is pleased with those changes.

A

We do not like towers on Yonge Street, but it is a reality, and so we have to say yes to those things, and so, as a member of the community I suggest to the council that we are satisfied with this as a development in our community. We think it contributes to the community. We have had one outstanding issue with crest fir'd.

A

We had asked them to support the community association with an upfront payment of five years membership for this building, and that was outstanding when I mailed the letter to the clerk that, since that time, has been resolved with a few conditions conditional upon approval today, conditional upon approval at City, Council and conditional upon zoning of success, so I think crest fir'd for those for their support in that way and I just want to say thank you to the staff.

A

The staff has worked exceptionally well and I think we have come out ahead of I think everybody has come up with a better project. Thank you.

C

Thank you very much Catherine. Are there any questions to our speaker? Okay, right! Thank you appreciate it any other members of the public who would like to speak to this item. Okay,.

C

We are at item number T, 24.5, 480 to 490 Yonge, Street and 3 Grosvenor Street. Thank.

K

You chair members of council, my name is Craig hunter I'm. The planning consultant on behalf of crest Berg I'll, be very brief and, as Rob's setting up his laptop just for a brief design illustration of the project, we began working on this as with Catherine over three years ago, with King set. When they originally owned the property, then it was a 45 storey tower proposed again. Similarly keeping the Clocktower.

K

We then worked through 2015 with the community city staff on resolving the first phase of the North downtown young planning framework, which led to a 38 storey, building different height and massing that limited no new shadows on the eleven walls. You know dr. Lillian, McGregor Park, then.

D

We spent the better part of 2016 with pressed.

K

Furred and their new design team to work through the specifics of the design, including the three working group meetings that Catherine mentioned, and we appreciate all their input. There was a there was a lively discussion at times and very particular discussion at times, and we appreciate staffs support throughout the three years, we're here in support of the staff, recommendations and I just like Rob, maybe to briefly show you the show you the project that we're proposing for Yonge Street.

K

Good morning, members of council I'm Robert Kudo with Architects Alliance, and we are the architects of 480 to 490 Yonge Street and we've been working with crest fer developments on this project. When crest furred purchased the site. There was a settlement plan in place on the site, and so our design really was. We created a tower within the envelope of the existing settlement plan, and so what we'll take you through is really just some of those refinements and I. Think really what I want to speak to today.

K

It's just the attention that we gave to the podium of the building out through the discussions with the community, the councillor and the planners in terms of developing a consensus, and they I think an improved design that resolved the heritage issues pertinent to the site. So I'll just take you through. So the first plan on the screen is really the site plan. It's a little hard to see but I think the critical thing there is.

K

The clock tower itself, which is the square sort of in the lower right hand corner, and we resolved to shift the Clocktower 900 millimeters eastward and what that did was just brought the Clocktower slightly more into public prominence on the street from Yonge Street and also just gave it a bit more of breathing room so to speak from the tower above. So it's just a subtle movement, but it helped just in those ways to bring some prominence to the clock tower.

K

Also just the salvage of 480 Yonge Street in the southeast corner and creating a store bay on the north west corner that mirrored that on the streets, there's an amenity space on the third level, which utilizes the roof of the podium. And then, of course, we have rental replacement in this building, we're doing rental replacement of 26 units that are on the site and we meet or exceed the area of those units. And so those are on the fifth and sixth floor of the building.

K

And then the typical condominium levels up to the 38 level of the tower. This shows you the podium when we first started the discussions and how the kind of new retail portion bookends with for eight the existing 40 retail portion around the clock tower and then, through the discussions we developed this idea of this structural glass pavilion.

K

That really was a kind of ghost reference of the fire hall that was once there, and so this will be a kind of modern reference to the fire hall with the drawing of the fire hall facade grafted onto the front face.

K

This shows the tower with the base podium in context of the basement tower, and this is just a blow-up detail of the retail portion that mirrors 480, Yonge Street in its proportions and kind of openings and so on on Yonge Street and the final image is just simply of the top of the tower and the idea of the frame diminishing into the sky. That crown the tower. So thank you very much. If there are any questions from Council.

C

Thank you very much. Are there any members of Community Council who have questions for our deficit? Okay, I just wanted to confirm. Probably two things the Clocktower was was part of the very extraordinary piece of Canadian toe and Canadian LGBT history, known as the home of the Charles Street Tavern. In our discussions at the Heritage Preservation Board, we did talk about the the importance of making sure that that history and that cultural history was going to be captured somehow India and in sort of maybe perhaps they are the interpretation of the heritage.

C

Important is your is, as cross word as the applicant prepare to work with the community to ensure that that is, captured and properly documented. Yes,.

K

Yes, I think so and I think there's a variety of ways. We can explore doing that through the site plan, approval process and.

B

K

Are we are looking at that? Okay and.

C

With respect to the the contributions of the community, who will probably want to be part of that process, there's the Canadian, lesbian and gay archive who has a very rich rich amount of historical material there that could probably lend to the the modern-day interpretations of what happened for those who are listening and the leave is to be important. This is probably one of the most important cultural sites for the LGBT community. There's the level of willingness from Europe from the applicant to cooperate with the archives to ensure that's properly captured, correct, yeah. Okay, great.

C

Thank you very much. Thank.

K

C

Any members who would like to any other speakers on this this item I see that there are many people who are sitting in the the public space and I, don't see a lot of deputations as deputies that are registered if there are any members who are here to speak to any particular item, that's on the agenda today we'll need you to check in with Anna home, who is right there wearing the blue shirt and he'll, make sure that you're recognized on the speaker list, which is over here, okay.

C

So any members who would like to speak to this report, okay, I'll just quickly move and move that we adopt the staff recommendation and with that also to thank the local community. This has been a very long process where we've had to work through a number of reiterations. We've now worked with several different property owners, and now finally, was with crest for the city planning staff I think has been extraordinarily patient. We have struggled as a community as a city team, with working with the local residents on getting this particular application. Right.

C

I think that there is a lot that can be said about this development that are being proposed for Yonge Street, there's. Obviously, a topography, they'll form change. That is happening. We are trying to do the very best that we can to capture the essence of Yonge Street through the Heritage Conservation District by the inclusion and introduction of new community assets such as the park line, 11 Wellesley, but it has been a wonderfully wonderful journey of conflict at time and in oftentimes.

C

What has been so remarkable about the evolution of Yonge Street is that we've been able to grapple through some really tough situations, and you generally have come out as a united front moving forward, whether it's the Heritage Conservation District or making sure that the downtown young opie is going to be defended, whether it's new development applications and how they sort of a but a very a low-rise community that surrounds it. We talked about the intensification on our major Avenue.

C

This area in this street is being more intensification than most others, and so we recognize that we have a responsibility to review every single application with a lot of care and consideration and to bring about all the different voices and to make sure that their hurts and that they are legitimized. It has not been easy. I recognize that there's been a huge volume of work well represented and documented in the three working group sessions that we've had on this.

C

This application goes back several years and there is a lot of interest on how we actually make sure that the rich history that is that is captured in the fire hall that is captured in the Charles Street tavern. How do we bring those stories back to life to make sure that it's relevant today, because those battles that perhaps took place in the 1980s with the bath house, race and the riots, the political stomping ground and the organizing space for the early LGBT movement?

C

This is Toronto, history and I think that this has oftentimes now, especially with the new glass towers and the big podiums as they go, marching up and down. Yonge Street there aren't many opportunities now for us to recognize that history. So when we have the opportunity which is before us is certainly a wonderful feeling, knowing that there is broad-based consensus from both the applicant as well as the community that we have a, we have a responsibility to treat this right and I want to thank the applicant for working really hard with our local community.

C

I know that sometimes these working groups can be extra hours in their billable hours or you get paid, but I do believe that it brings us to a much better outcome at the end of the day and for that I want to thank you, our community and, of course, our exceptional planning and heritage staff who have been wrestling with the applications as they get to a final outcome. So thank you all, those in favor of the recommendations in the staff report. Okay, any opposed we can adopt that. Thank you moving along. In account sorry.

H

B

C

Just been notified that there is someone who's come in. Who would like to speak to this particular report? I would ask that we vary the process and allow the speaker who is here to speak. Okay, all those in favor any opposition. Seeing none can the speaker identify themselves to our clerk and also make our yourself known. Hi. Welcome sorry.

J

Everyone him a little unfamiliar with the process, so don't mind. My late jumping in I'll be short and sweet, as I wasn't actually planning to speak. I am a resident at the current location at number. Three Governor, Street and I just wanted to make a few quick comments. Everyone who's here, mainly regarding what Kristyn wong-tam was just discussing, and that is the general culture and community and history of the Yonge Street area, so I'm a person who's actually spent my entire life in the Yonge Street area.

J

I was born at Wellesley Hospital and raised in the community and attended local schools again I. Don't do that so bear with me, and so basically, I just wanted to express a general feeling of residents who have been long-term resident just as feeling pushed out of our neighborhood via the inability to be able to continue to afford the rents in the neighborhood and, as we know, rent is a big issue in Toronto there are many young families who also feel that they will not be able to afford to raise their families olicity.

J

So again, I just wanted to reiterate this and I do appreciate that the various numbers that we've worked with especially Jeremy, has been so helpful in mitigating all. The various issues that are going on with different tenants and that we are ourselves are being offered quite a generous package that you know. None of us can say that we expected, but that doesn't necessarily help the overall community and the people that don't live in the who are being offered these packages.

J

So I just want to say that you know there is a real loss of community here and there is a real loss of opportunity for people to continue to live in this downtown area.

J

We feel that their long-standing residents are being pushed out by the gentrification of the neighborhood, and we feel there is a huge change, and you mentioned in the Yonge Street strip, which doesn't seem to really be reflected in a lot of City Planning decisions. There doesn't seem to be a lot of mitigation of all the towers that are going up. I live literally two minutes away from my work and every day as I walk to work.

J

I, walk through literally four to five construction sites, walking from young and Grosvenor to church and Wellesley, there's at least six construction sites, so it does seem quite excessive. I also did want to make a quick note to the developers proposal of the sort of fire hall size retail spaces. The tenant types specifically requested a preference to small business spaces that would allow smaller businesses to thrive.

J

That would also possibly be businesses that we could afford to patronize as opposed to large box stores that don't actually reflect the needs of people currently living in the community or the people that will be moving back into those replacement units. So we had specifically requested smaller, small local business feeling smaller community feeling businesses to be in those spaces. Also, regarding the rent gap payments that some of us will be receiving, you know again we're very thankful for all the work. That's being done to get us those payments.

J

However, you know we do feel that basing the red gap for an affordable bachelor at a price of 975 in no way reflects the rent that we would have to pay to continue to live and work in our communities.

J

Everybody knows that there's no bachelors available for nine seventy five in the downtown young core, so you know again that rent gap payment is not going to allow me and my fellow residents to continue to live in the downtown core where we have lived some of us for decades.

J

You know so again. This is all something to be considered. If somebody can find me a $975 bachelor downtown, let me know, but I'm pretty sure. We all know that that is a game, not not the running price in that neighborhood. So again, just a few notes. Sorry again to jump in at the last minute. I just felt that somebody had to say something but again. I do want to thank everybody here for their work on the specific project.

J

As I understand, it was very complicated and varied and I hope that you know some of these comments might be taken into consideration. Just in terms of the vast vast changes that are occurring in the neighborhood- and you know how that how that does reflect the community of people who have lived here for decades and aren't going to be able to live here anymore, and what does that mean for us, culturally in terms of sort of a literal gentrification, that's which out of a community and is that what we're after?

J

Are we just going in that direction because of development? So thank you all for your time and good day. Thank.

C

You are there any members who have questions for our deputy.

C

Noting seeing them, thank you very much. Actually, you didn't state your name. Sorry. My name is Nancy Clem, oh okay, Nancy! Thank you very much for coming out today. Thank you. Thank you.

C

Since simply because the speaker's list is now back open, are there any members of the public who would like to speak to this? Any members who would like to please come on.

K

Hello, members of council, my name is Ryan Miller and with the applicant Chris, Berg and I just wanted to respond to the comments we just received on the rental housing portion, and we understand that Yonge Street is changing and we understand what that change comes from some feedback from the community and I just wanted to speak to the rental replacement portion.

K

They could through this proposal it was definitely brought up the the retail space keeping in the young street character that was brought up with the community and, as part of this proposal, we're limiting the ground-floor retail size to 450 square meters. So that was addressed. It was discussed in all the working group meetings, but with respect to the affordability and the rental component, the the meeting was held with city staff and the community, and we went through all the options and sorry I have some of the notes on here.

K

I made some scribbling spice, as you can see there on. The last, is what the standard sort of city policies require of the rental component and on the right is what we're providing. So, although there is an inconvenience for a short period of time, we understand it's a big inconvenience, but we are providing. We are exceeding greatly exceeding the compensation and also this new proposal will allow the access to amenities, bikes, parking in suite laundry air-conditioning and so on, and so on.

K

It's all up there with respect to the rent gap, which I think was the the main point there. We we actually came up with that number in consultation with the city by doing comparable searches for bachelors units in the immediate area, I believe they're about 25 to 30.

K

We can help the deputy look for a bachelor unit and that number, then, in addition to more compensation, allows them to rent a unit at that at that amount until the replacement unit is built, and in addition to that, this proposal in fact exceeds the overall gfa for the rental, so we're actually building bigger units in every instance, and they are rent controlled, so they are affordable.

K

They are larger, we've actually removed nine bachelor units and replaced it with eight more one bedrooms and we've introduced four three-bedroom family units that didn't exist before and again all of it affordable, and it was all discussed at the community meeting we're happy to speak with any of the residents as we go forward, but I just wanted to touch on the fact that this was all discussed and there was rationale behind the numbers of everything like that happy to answer any questions.

C

Thank you very much. Are there any members who have questions for our deputies regarding the rental replacement program? Okay, thank you. Thank.

K

C

Coming back, I recognize that there's a technical error in the reports recommendation number six should read as a recommendation for B and that the recommendations then be remembered accordingly. I would need to move this recommendation just so that the report reads properly.

C

We can pop it on the screen and sir if it's available and I will not be speaking to the item again. I think we've pretty much heard from everyone there's a motion before you on the screen, all those in favor, although any opposed item as amended all those in favor any opposed. Thank you and thank you to the deputy since to who all came out and took some time today to share your your feedback with us.

A

As you know, I always speak when I get the opportunity. Good morning again, members of council I have three points. I want to make on this particular item before I. Come to those three I want to say that our goal was to have this process include a working group, because to this point we feel the community has been excluded and we know through communication with our counselor Kristyn wong-tam, that that has been accomplished at the previous City Council meeting. So for that we are extremely pleased. I want to make a be.

C

Sorry, just to clarify catherine, we are our item, t 24:16, which is a heritage report or 480 to 484.

Great gulf and with me, is mr. Alan vahan's who's with great Gulf I registered for the deputation in order to ask for a slight modification to recommendation to to provide a little bit of flexibility to recognize the fact that things sometimes move in in different order, but consistent with the intent. I understand that emotion is coming forward to recognize that and provide that flexibility. So I I won't take much of your time. I'll simply indicate that we are in support of the staff recommendation as proposed to be amended and are here to answer any questions.

L

There any questions, no.

C

I, don't believe so we quite received and.

L

So we have had a small amendment which I think gives comfort to the developer, that they can proceed and with due haste and give comfort to the city that we will have enough of the of the notice of approval conditions for site plan completed and we think it'll all come together anyway, but everyone's in agreement. So the additional recommendation is on page 4, it's at the top of the page. It's C and you can see it on the screen.

L

It's just to add or alternative arrangements have been made to the satisfaction of the the chiefs planner. So I think with that everything else is find. I would like to say on this particular find a file on 48 powers. This has been a very good process, with the developer, with the city planning and with the community. So I'm really very happy about that really appreciate everybody's flexibility and everybody's cooperation. So thank you on that tile move through the amendment and the staff support. Okay, thank.

I

Hello: everyone, my name, is Rajendra Nana and I work at the Park Hyatt Hotel I'm, a member of the United first United here, local seven, five I work at hired for 13 years myself and my co-workers supported a heritage designation of our hotel. We are very concerned about continuous loss of hotel rooms.

I

We are also disappointed that Hyatt and Oxford do not care as much as the workers who have made the Park Hyatt a great hotel. We hope we hope, Oxford and Hyatt will treat us fairly and out responsibility during this development. Thank you.

E

E

My name is Nagaraja hunter. Second, multi I am working last 21 years at the pocket to hotel. We are here to support the heritage, building not to destroy the buildings and also the rooms cutting down to condos. They are developing as a condos, so the people losing the jobs around 200 rooms are cutting down against condos. So we are not happy with that issues, so we wanted to pocket with us at this issue as their.

E

So that's why we are here to inform you all that you will take some action against reserved hotel rooms become condos if it's not enough how we have enough condos around the city, but the hotel rooms are cutting down. That's why we are here, so we wanted to your support to take action against these issues. Thank you.

E

C

You very much and Marvel II did you want to speak as well? Please go ahead.

I

I'm, a room attendant I worked hard for 18 years. I've been there spend most of my time there now at my age and losing my job. These jobs are good jobs, I work, hard, I was expecting renovation, but not lots of rooms. Where do I go from here, who's going to hire me after this, we need to stop cutting back on the rules and out of the job. This is Oh Eliza. This is what's in my children to school. This is what pays the rent.

I

This is what I live after after they cut the rules back, they don't want me, I'll, be 60 when they finish renovation, I'll be sticks. The tree, who is going to hire me nobody's gonna, hire me they're, not going to take me back so I thought. Can you please please look into our situation hard, oh yeah.

I

C

Thank you very much questions of our seeker, counselor Krusty. First.

D

Of all, thank you very much for taking the time to come here, not being both on the job or with your families. You want one of the things that was mentioned, and you, sir mentioned it off. The top was to ensure that that you and your colleagues are treated fairly. Can you tell me what what treated fairly? What what that means both during and after construction, is that ensuring that the job stay in place? What I just want to make sure I understand, I, know we're talking about heritage today.

D

Would you support, but more broadly, so that we I can continue to work on this? What is treated fairly me.

I

For number one, it was saying that there was no recall like after we hired back again I'm sure our union has fights like that and no, they would like. He could recall and come back to work who's walking there, mostly the pockets. What we are offering is not it's not good enough for the workers being his home so many years, so we leaving they were leaving here with a dignity for themselves on your family, so we are asking for them to be treated unfairly. Workers fairly. These are together. Okay,.

D

And would either of you like to expand on that about what it means to be treated fairly during this, because of.

E

That the construction period is going to be at least one to three years yeah, so we are jobless, I'm 65, turning into 65. So where do I go for job? Finding a job is difficult, so this should give us a good package like which is we had some agreement. The previous collective agreements were having like five one to five years is one week and two to five years to 10 years at two weeks and 20 over 20 years, three weeks severance pays supposed to be given to us, but they are not talking about that.

E

This issues anything now they remove those clothes from the collective agreement. Last year last few years they signed the contract and they remove the clouds, and they don't have that. They know that that this thing is gone to grow clothes, so they removal is illegal. We don't know how its removed there is no subject. No Klaus is added in their collective agreement. So that's why we are asking about fairly treatment. They have to treat, especially because we cannot go beyond this. That's why we come to your health. So we need your help. That's right!

E

D

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank.

C

You you have questions from counter Meccano as well.

L

Thank you, first of all for coming and being so so eloquent and just really, you know, I think that the way in which you speak to us is very impactful. What I'd like to ask you a follow-up question on it's something that you've just said. So am I understanding that if you have been there for 30 for 20 years, that offers a severance package that was being offered is three weeks in fact correct? No, it's not.

E

It was three weeks in the previous collective agreements, not in this latest collective agreement. They don't have anything, nothing is mentioned. It's.

I

What we printed anyway,.

L

So it so it was three weeks, but now it's nothing. Is that correct, so so they're coming in they've had you as employees for 18 years, 20 years whatever, and and what they're offering as a exit package is zero. That's.

E

Correct all right now is.

L

Why I don't know.

E

They don't say nothing: okay,.

L

And okay, that's that I was going to say: that's fine I, but you know I mean it's not fine, yeah! That's! That's! Okay and I'm!

L

Assuming that the union are going at the at the owner and the developer to look at a proper severance package that our exit package that will also allow for rehire after the after that period of time, but for you and perhaps for you, but maybe even for you what you're saying is we won't be there when they come back because we will be will be joining the the grey March of all of us seniors.

L

And so you want to get a proper plan in place so that you can transition into your CPP or your old-age pension, your pension and so on. Is that correct.

E

L

Thank you very much. Thank you all. Thank you.

C

E

You agree thank.

C

You any other members who have questions for our deputy and deputies. Okay. Thank you very much to speak. Oh sorry, questions of staff, I'm.

H

Just wondering it which Oxford yourself.

C

The question is for staff, for you, do you don't have to be answering yeah yeah.

H

Sorry, the proponents are for this I missed hearing who they were, where the leaves.

K

I believe at Oxford properties, all.

H

K

H

K

Serves me Oxford.

H

Properties- and can you remind me, is it Oxford properties, so they also there? This is, do they own all kinds of things, including malls they're.

K

Called large yes, they're, a large Development Company pension manager, pension.

H

Management development is at Oxford properties, perchance that owns the Scarborough town centre, I believe.

K

So as well as large office buildings in the center of the city, so.

H

If I'm interested in the mall they own Scarborough town centre, where the Scarborough subway will be ending up, is that I believe they were at the executive defeating I'll probably speak about that. Now that I understand it's the same firm. My speaker here thank.

C

You questions of staff, counsel, Chrissie.

D

Just so, the the item which is before us here is on heritage designation. The for the other issues related to this are at the committee of adjustment. Is that correct.

K

Leave there's a committee of adjustment and a plan application. Yes,.

C

Councillor Davis questions of status, I.

B

Guess it's a we've, put all kinds of conditions on applications. I know this is a heritage application, but is there a way to put any kind of conditions on use.

K

From Al Angie's point of view, all of these uses are permitted on the site and there isn't a land use question in front of us. There's a heritage alteration in front of us, so it's a limited scope for for the community council to it, but directly address. The issues has been raised by the deputy.

B

I understand that at sea of a.

K

Stent stand corrected, I'm being advised, there is no sea of a there's a G. There is just a site plan application.

C

Right councillor, Davis, do you have any follow-up question? I sorry, I didn't hear the.

B

K

I've just been advised and I want to correct myself. There is no committee of adjustment application, which would deal with variances to the zoning. There is a site plan application only.

B

B

H

You'll decide: okay.

B

We can't ask anymore: it's not really like those questions are before us. It's just heritage. Thank.

C

You any other members to ask questions on the report, which is a heritage related matter. No okay, members, deceit.

C

Councillor Christine thank.

D

You first of all, I want to thank you, deputies for coming and, and certainly for for your years of work. This is this: is life it's people's lives and taking time out of your day to speak about something which is so important and so person was not easy and I want to. Thank you for taking that time. Let me begin by saying, first of all, what is before us here, as community council strictly looks at heritage designation and on the heritage designation piece, as we heard from from the decadence.

D

The work here that is being done is important and and I'm moving. The staff recommendations and I want to thank the staff on heritage and the applicant for working really hard over a couple years on the heritage side, so that we're all the way or what is coming is a committee of adjustment application to renovate the existing Park Hyatt Hotel to build a new ballroom and other pieces, and there is a net reduction of some of the hotel rooms that are being converted into purpose-built rental.

D

And that is part of this, which I would note, is unfortunate. And it also speaks to two different things in the city that we're looking for both purpose-built rental and hotel uses. And so it's unfortunate. And but it's it's one of those where we're putting two uses that we both want to see against each other.

D

Now, as part of this I think- and this is something that our office is actively engaged in and has been in active conversations with Oxford properties on is the issue of the current staff and to ensure not just and I want to say this. Not just that there is an appropriate package, but rather that, first and foremost that we're looking at job replacement and that jobs are available not just post construction but during construction and if and only if, that's not appropriate.

D

Should there be a proper package and I think the conversation here today, while it is not being centered on the heritage matter at hand which I fully support, it has brought to all of our collective attention, a really critical issue, and so the next steps for me from here first of all and heritage, is proceeding with it, as it relates to ongoing conversations that that I am engaged in to ensure that we have appropriate jobs replacement and, if necessary, compensation for our hard workers.

D

I want you to know that and as I've said to the applicant, that I am hard at work on that and will continue to be. And if we are not satisfied, we will look at site plan. But I want to say that in good faith- and we have had good faith thus far. I want to continue to pursue those discussions and we're going to continue to do that. Work and so again these are extremely personal and tough issues.

D

I want to thank heritage for their work and I want to thank our hard-working deputies who work in my community for taking the time to come and be here today we hear you very clearly thank.

C

You very much thank you, counselor Fletcher, to speak, but.

H

No I was just very taken with this situation that there are so many condos, so many hotels that are being conned alized- and this is not great for the economy and I- know that it is something I expected something that economic development may or may not be working on. I'm, not sure what kind of passion they may or may not have for that.

H

But I believe that all of us have a very strong passion and commitment number one to make sure that we remain an important tourist destination with enough hotel rooms for the large conferences, conventions and everything that go on here in celebrations and Tiff's, and everything else and number two to provide these ongoing good jobs for families, as we've heard from the deficits, how important those jobs are for their families and for the success of their families and their children.

H

I do note that Oxford property that my ears picked up at that, because a couple of weeks ago, in this very room, Oxford properties, were here asking the city to support the one, stop three point: five plus billion dollar Scarborough, subway and they're very good. At asking the city for things that they would like, and that would be supportive of their very large business that would be the malls.

H

They were also at economic development to try to override the nine holiday Soria to licensing, to override these or find a way to circumvent or get exemptions from the holiday statutory holiday requirements of giving people a day off so they're, very, very active people and probably more active right now than I've ever seen them be in the city of Toronto and I.

H

Think we need to send a very strong message that we have great respect for people that work in our hotels that we think that's an important sector and that we have to be very measured and balanced in the types of development that we're doing so whatever councillor Krusty might need an assistance. I think we'd all be happy to be there that if you want a 3.5 billion dollar subway to your mall, you just have to treat people at the Park Hyatt, pretty damn well, while you're making your conversions.

H

That would be I'm sure your commitment, counselor Chrissy thank.

C

You very much councillor Fletcher councillor, Davis I, hope so, sir councilman sorry before you go, it's actually councillor McConnell first and then California.

L

Well, first of all, I want to say that I'm very pleased that you might call these hands, because I know that councilor Chrissy will both advocate strongly and look at a fair opportunity for all of our workers.

L

I would say that this is not isolated to this particular place and I would say it's not also isolated to this particular use, which is hotel and I just remind us of how long it took for the restaurant across the street in the Eaton Center to be given back both to unite here, as well as to the workers who were promised to go back in.

L

So life is not very easy in this industry and I know that from my daughter, Heather Ann, who was the previous previously was their in-house counsel and the stories that she would tell me about how attendants room attendants were treated are unbelievable and I think that hotels offer very good employment, long-term employment, as you could hear from and very stabilized employment, and that's the kind of work that we need in the inner core we need for, and we need people or very who are very good at their job, to to welcome and be ambassadors for our city because they're on the front lines when people when tourists come and when tourists go home quite often, the impression they have of Toronto is those interactions between between workers.

L

I know that the training center has been very active. I know we have a housing co-op for these workers, but we also need to think about how we can protect all of their jobs or we are going to be in very, very big trouble.

L

So I wanted to just mention that these are the kinds of things that Oxford needs to be reminded of, and councillor Fletcher has certainly done a good job of reminding us of what's on their side of the table, and councillor Perks reminded me that this is a pension plan for unions, so I'm just a bit stunned that they would dare to even open their mouths. It's such a groveling.

L

Support so from my perspective, I want to make sure that councillor Cressey understands we're all behind him that that you know here understands that we're behind them as well, and that we think that they're, an important industry and important support. So perhaps one of the most important industries, which is the hospitality industry, so I just wanted to mention that. Thank you very much.

C

Thank you very much. Counselor counselor Davis system I also.

B

Have great confidence in councillor Krusty that he will be able to work something out, but he's not doing that within any kind of a policy framework. He is doing it using whatever means possible and I think that I have been thinking about this question of protecting work and protecting jobs.

B

As these questions have been raised in the Avenue study on the Danforth, which has a lot of commercial activity on the second and third floors- and there is a great concern that we are going to see in all of our mid-rise retail upgrade and condos above and that we are going to see it's stripping away of a whole lot of commercial activity that is embedded in those mixed use. Existing mixed-use buildings on our Main, Street and I.

B

Don't know how we preserve work and how we make sure that or if there are any mechanisms or policies, we could create to protect work. We protect affordable housing because we know people losing their homes through redevelopment.

B

It's important to have a policy framework to to do that, and maybe we should be looking at whether or not there any other levers under the Planning Act for protecting jobs and the kinds of uses that support our economic development strategies at the City of Toronto. Anyway, that's my two cents worth. Thank you. Thank.

C

You very much anyone else to speak to this matter. Okay, I'll, just make a quick remark of there was a. There was a motion that was adopted by City Council councilor by Lao and I had for this to economic development committee. It was specifically asking staff to review the hotel supply in Toronto.

C

That report should be coming back as to Economic Development Committee, September, 2017 I, hope that that point in time we'll have a better idea of what it is that before us in terms of the economic pressures on both the sector, as well as the the workplace, and by that time, hopefully perhaps we'll be able to provide members of council with more legislative tools rather than flying by the seat of their pants, to try to mitigate any type of harmful impacts to to this particular sector. That is obviously very important.

C

In order for us to foster robust on a cultural and and heritage tourism in the city, you are clearly the backbone of of our of our city and many of the times we probably do not say as often as we should, but we thank you for for coming out and sharing your thoughts.

C

My own father is a hotel worker and I know that there are other members who are here today who have connections, personal connections with the with the with the hotel industry, and we know that this is important, and we know that this is personal.

C

There is a there is a recommendation before us all those in favor of the recommendations from councilor Pressey. Thank you any opposed, no that's adopted. Thank you very much item number two te 2410 intention to designate under par for section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act 15 Glenmore street wor 20. We have a speaker, Denise, Baker and.

D

Can I mention we have a speaker? This was passed at City Council last week, so I'm going to be withdrawing it, just a heads-up. If we have a speaker they are, they can of course speak but I'm going to be moving it with all this I. Don't.

C

Believe we have a speaker, Denise Baker. Are you here? Alright, okay, will you be speaking councillor.

I

The committee and Thank You councillor there was there had been a little bit of confusion because I have known it had gone to Council last week and it was now before the committee. We didn't want to lose our opportunity to speak to this issue in light of the previous OMB decision on the heritage matter relating to this. If you are withdrawing this matter based on, what's happened at Council, then I don't know if there's any need any further need to speak.

I

D

If you want to expand upon your written submission, but I will be withdrawing this, given that it already has council approval right.

I

So I will just just by way of alerting this committee because it did end up on your agenda item this matter. It wasn't contained in the staff report, which was a bit concerning this matter, actually went to an entire Municipal Board hearing in 2005 and when my client went to advance their approval. With respect to this item, all of a sudden we were faced with a heritage, designation and I. Just note to you, because we're concerned about using heritage to thwart land-use planning decisions of the Interior municipal board.

I

The decision of the interior municipal board was very clear when it that the city has determined that there's no heritage, significance for the existing dwelling and now we're faced with a I notice of intent to designate this particular property, which I might add, has a plan approval for the very thing that we're hearing that everyone is looking for, which is eighteen, three bedroom rental housing units. So we have a development. That's that's eight stories that everyone is typically looking for an approval from the Ontario Municipal Board on the basis that city staff is already declared.

I

It has no heritage significance and now, when we go to get our building permit, we are being faced with a notice of intent to designate. So obviously, the council has made their decision. We have to take our further action in the forums that we will take them in and I just wanted to alert those items to you. Thank.

C

You thank you very much for your deputation any questions to our speaker. No. Thank you very much any other members who would like to speak to this item, seeing none questions of staff members to speak, counsel, Cressy and.

D

So I will I am moving to withdraw the item. This was a staff recommendation that went to treszura toronto, Preservation Board and then came directly to Council and was endorsed last week. Thus it is not. It is incorrectly in front of us here today, not and so I will move to withdraw this item.

C

Thank you all those in favor of the motion to withdraw the item. Okay, any opposed. Thank you. That's adopted.

C

We are on item te 24.1 one alterations as designated heritage properties at 284, King Street, what the Anderson building in 322 King, Street, West, Eclipse, white ware and authority to amend heritage, easement agreement, demolition of heritage properties at 266 and 276 King Street West. Any members of the public would like to speak to this item.

C

No seeing none any members of the Community Council would like to ask questions of staff. Seeing none any members who would like to speak. Elsa, Crecy eye.

D

On this one I'm going to move to withdraw the item and I just want to speak briefly to this, because so many around the table have done a great deal of work on heritage. We received notice that there was real danger of demolition to this property and through a motion at community council that was done, we asked heritage preservation staff to conduct a heritage review. They because of the pressing danger moved quickly to do that. Work assessed its value and found it to be half heritage value.

D

They took it directly to preservation board and because of the urgency, it came direct to Council last week and was approved, which is why I can be withdrawn today. It's an example: I just want to note of our heritage preservation staff, doing everything they can quickly using proper procedure, albeit in this one, a reordering of it to ensure that we are protecting heritage and so I will move to withdraw and thank heritage staff for their hard work.

C

Thank you very much any questions, seeing none any other speakers, no ready to vote all those in favor. Thank you any opposed, no, that's adopted. Thank you. We are now on T 24 point 13 intention to designate under part four section: 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act 6 Frank Crescent war 21, any members of the public who are here to speak to this item, seeing none any members who have questions for staff being none any members to speak, quell Surma, havoc recommendations.

C

And no Katherine just this is just a reminder that so this matter is being dealt with. That has been dealt with that City Council as a matter of procedure, so I will be withdrawing this item, but I know you so have the opportunity to speak to it. If you like, and.

A

I truly appreciate the action you took at City, Council I'm, really going to speak about things that have been sigh I've been listening to this morning. There is an element of the fabric of a downtown being destroyed and you heard workers I live downtown and the little the little communities that walk the streets. As the representative, the Harvard Street community indicated we know the community and if we don't, we go and look at it and decide what is there and how we need to work with that.

A

There is so much pressure, I think additional protection you've talked about protection for affordable house. You thought you talked this morning about a new kind of protection needed for employment. There is protection needed for retail, the kind of retail that serves the small fabric of downtown, Toronto and I. Think a couple of councillors have indicated that this kind of development that we're seeing destroys that and it replaces it with much more expensive, less workable retail space I see that on Bay Street I see it coming on Yonge Street.

A

So I really want to make that comment to you as the people who and the staff who are here who are thinking about the way to improve the teal core kinds of secondary plans. We do need to protect some kind of retail that is more meaningful to the downtown I. I also want to make one comment about the ten st. Mary decision.

A

We were represented in that OMB hearing as participants in the BCC a we had just been through a very expensive OMB hearing for the OPA 183. It cost us $50,000 and we have to put probably another hundred and fifty thousand dollars toward the protection of the HCD on Yonge Street. It is a huge burden for the community, so I just want to say that if you get a chance and I think you probably all do to support OMB reform put a plug in for it.

A

We need to really change the way the community is dealt with at the OMB. We need to have a little bit more say without so much financial backing needed and so I've really drifted away from ten st. Mary I know that it's in good hands now it has turned out to be a much better development than we ever anticipated and we're thankful for that, but it has revealed so many cracks in the planning process and I'll just leave it at that. Thank.

C

You very much Katherine any questions for our speaker. No okay, I want to just move emotion eyes. Are there any members who have questions of staff being none any one to speak? Just myself, I'll be moving to withdraw the items simply because we already dealt with it at City Council and to thank Katherine on behalf of your on behalf of myself and the planning staff.

C

I know how hard the BCCA has been working with planning staff to make sure that tensing Mary was a building that was going to be number one preserved and designated as it is, but certainly I would I would easily agree with. You is that none of us would have anticipated the outcome. Deb is before us, which is actually a building. That is, that an application that can be supported, heritage property that is now saved, along with the proper treatment and alterations with the Heritage impacts of the area. We will work through the site plan together.

C

I know that that is not before us. There is still a final decision to be made at the board. So although this, although City Council, has taken a position, the board has not had the final.

C

The final outcome has not come from the board as of yet, but certainly we are in a very different planning stage in a different in a different environment than where we first started, which was extremely divisive applications full of conflict, a lot of negativity swirling around the first applicant who brought a such grief lifetime development and we're in a much happier place now with them. Council point Numa and the applicant that in the new application, that's before us here as all those in favor of the motion to withdraw.

C

Thank you any opposed that has been adopted. Thank you. T20 4.17 we've already dealt with 16, just as a reminder. We're now onto TPE 24 point 17 alterations to a designated heritage property, an amendment of heritage, Eastman agreement, 16 mill, Street Rockhouse beef, any members of the public who are here to speak to this item, seeing none any members who have questions for staff.

Shockingly, and now it's back here and where we have delegated authority- and this is just to put in permit parking on the 10% of my streets- that don't have them, you know whose neighborhood they're in, and some of them are new substitute, well subdivisions that were maybe 10 years old by now, so just from an equity point of view, and also to generate some revenue for our amazing services. Here, I encourage you all to do the same. Thanks.
