The Subject Property is approximately 1,973.9 square metres (“sq m”) in size, and rectangular in shape.
8The Subject Property is currently occupied by two commercial buildings with heights of one and two storeys. The building to the east is one-storey, while the building to the west is two-storeys in height. The current structures cover approximately 30 percent of the site area and access to the surface parking on the Subject Property is from both Eglinton Avenue East as well as Mason Road. The existing buildings include a total Gross Floor Area (“GFA”) of 627 sq m.
9The Subject Property is currently designated as “Apartment Neighbourhoods” in the City Official Plan (“TOP”). The Subject Property is currently zoned Residential Apartment RA (au67.0) (x713) under Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 and Highway Commercial (HC) under the Former Scarborough Village Community By-law No. 10010.
AREA CONTEXT
10Development along Eglinton Avenue East, in the vicinity of the Subject Property, includes a variety of residential and non-residential uses. These non-residential uses are a mix of low, medium and high-rise buildings surrounded by surface parking. To the north is a mix of large format big box stores and smaller strip-mall built form.
11The Subject Property has excellent access to existing and planned transit and surface transit services. The Subject Property is located 550 m east of the Eglinton GO Station on the Lakeshore East Line, which connects to Exhibition Station to the West and Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, and Oshawa in the East. There are bus stops at the intersection of Eglinton Avenue East and Mason Road, one immediately adjacent to the Subject Property and the second on the northeast corner, with a series of route options for passengers. There are a number of properties in the vicinity of the Subject Property with recently approved or current applications that are under review, some being similar to this Proposed Development.
THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

LAND USE PLANNING POLICY
18The proposed planning instruments are subject to Provincial and City planning policies found in various statutory planning documents and the Tribunal must be satisfied with all aspects of the relevant planning documents in making a decision.
Provincial Policy
[Planning Act](https://www.canlii.org/en/on/laws/stat/rso-1990-c-p13/latest/rso-1990-c-p13.html)
19Mr. Fordyce opined that the revised proposal has regard for s. 2 of the Planning Act (“Act”) and he made specific reference to s. 2 f), h), j), p), q), and r) and has regard to these sections as follows;
a. it has access to higher order transit network adjacent to an Intensification Corridor, is located within an identified Major Transit Station Area (“MTSA”) and will utilize existing water and wastewater infrastructure, subject to upgrades;
b. it provides for a logical and orderly progression of residential development with appropriate consideration of potential impacts relating to traffic, site engineering and stormwater management.
c. is a residential (apartment) dwelling type providing for a range of affordability, which will contribute to the creation of a complete community;
d. it is an appropriate location for growth and development in terms of its access to transit, as well as its availability to municipal and community services.
e. it includes transit-supportive residential densities consistent with the identified MTSA designation, is sustainable and supports public transit and designed to encourage walking, cycling, and other active transportation; and
f. It represents a built form that is well designed and promotes a sense of place.
20The Tribunal agrees with Mr. Fordyce that the revised proposal has appropriate regard to the matters in s. 2 of the Act.
Provincial Policy Statement 2020 (“PPS”)
21The PPS is the overarching policy on land use in Ontario and supports the Province’s goal to enhance the quality of life of those living here. The key policy objectives of the PPS pertain to building strong and healthy communities, the wise use of resource management, and protecting public health and safety.
22Mr. Fordyce provided a comprehensive review on how the proposed planning instruments are, in his opinion, consistent with the PPS. He stated that the PPS must be read in its entirety and the relevant policies are to be applied to each situation and he identified a series of policy considerations that relate to the revised proposal being:
a. located within a settlement area and falls within a proposed MTSA boundary. The term “Major Transit Station Area” is defined in the Growth Plan as an area including and around any existing or planned higher order transit station or stop within a settlement area and the Subject Property is approximately 550 m away from the Eglinton GO Station, a higher order transit station and the City has identified the Eglinton GO Station a potential Protected MTSA;
b. redevelopment of the Subject Site with a mixed-use, mid-rise building will be an efficient and optimized use of land with a denser urban form and is transit-supportive;
c. provides an appropriate range of housing unit typologies including 171 units of various sizes and layouts, thus contributing to the achievement of a range and mix of housing;
d. use and optimization of existing infrastructure and public service facilities; and
e. utilizes a land-use pattern and a mix of density that is transit-supportive and promotes active transportation in a manner consistent with the policy.
23For these reasons, Mr. Fordyce is of the opinion that the revised development is consistent with the PPS and the Tribunal agrees.
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (“Growth Plan”)
24The Growth Plan builds on the policy foundation of the PPS with more specific land use planning policies. The Growth Plan establishes a vision for the region with sufficient housing supply that reflects market demand, an integrated transportation network that allows people convenient access to transit, healthy natural environment and vibrant urban centres. Mr. Fordyce reviewed the relevant policies against the Proposed Development that include:
a. opportunities for people of all ages to conveniently access most of the necessities for daily living and provide a full range of housing, transportation options and service facilities. Complete communities “are age-friendly and may take different shapes and forms appropriate to their contexts”;
b. is a mid-rise building located along an Avenue that has frequent transit service and proposes 136 bicycle parking spaces. The Proposed Development contains a variety of unit sizes and typologies;
c. is located in an area designated as Apartment Neighbourhoods, along an Avenue served by transit and within 550 m of a major transit station (i.e. the Eglinton GO Station), located within a strategic growth area, well-suited to the scale and form of intensification envisioned by the Proposed Development;
d. will increase the diversity of land uses in this area of the City and will provide convenient access to local stores, services and public service facilities;
e. with the Subject Site’s proximity to the Eglinton GO Station, the Proposed Development, a mid-rise, mixed use building with ample bicycle parking, is designed to be transit-supportive and to achieve multi-modal access to nearby transit stations; and
f. developments will be supported by a stormwater management plan that is informed by a subwatershed plan, incorporates an integrated treatment appropriate to minimize stormwater flows, and establishes planning design and construction practices to minimize vegetation removal, grading, sediment options and impervious surfaces.
25The Tribunal agrees with Mr. Fordyce’s opinion that the Proposed Development conforms to the Growth Plan.
Toronto Official Plan (“TOP”)
26The Subject Property is designated Apartment Neighbourhoods on Map 23 (Figure 11: Land Use Plan), as are the lands to the East and West along the south side of Eglinton Avenue East. The lands to the north of Eglinton Avenue and further east of Markham Road are designated Mixed Use Areas.
27Mr. Fordyce in his evidence opined that the Proposed Development conforms to applicable policies of the TOP and is appropriate for intensification for the following reasons:
a. the Application was supported by a Sun/Shadow Study and a Pedestrian Wind Assessment, which demonstrates the location and massing of the Proposed Development will adequately limit shadow and maintain comfortable wind conditions for nearby pedestrians;
b. the siting of the building on the south side of Eglinton Avenue adequately limits shadowing, given that most of the shadowing occurs within the Eglinton Avenue East right-of-way;
c. pedestrian-level wind impacts will be limited given the low-scale form of development, and further mitigated by the stepback and the building design including canopies;
d. provides sufficient motor vehicle (80) and bicycle parking (136) for residents and visitors and responds to the built form matters such as the location of service facilities, the provision of recreational space and ground floor uses that enhance the interaction with adjacent streets;
e. the architectural and landscape plans confirm the built form and landscape design which conforms with the policy by locating surface parking, loading/garbage area and the ramp to the underground parking within the building footprint to minimize their impact on the Subject property and on the surrounding properties and the elimination of the existing curb cut on Eglinton Avenue that increases pedestrian safety;
f. development along Eglinton Avenue East in the vicinity of the Subject Property includes a variety of residential and non-residential uses. The non-residential uses are comprised of a mix of older, high-rise, mid-rise and low-rise buildings with extensive amounts of surface parking surrounding the built form. The Proposed Development will be massed and its exterior façade and will be designed to fit harmoniously with the existing and planned context of the surrounding area;
g. framing the street by locating the building parallel to both Eglinton Avenue East and Mason Road, provides an animated and pedestrian-focused street frontage along adjacent public streets with ground floor retail spaces, having frontage onto Eglinton Avenue East and around the corner onto Mason Road. The residential lobby for the Proposed Development will be located along Mason Road activating frontage at the building façade at-grade;
h. the new development will be massed to define the edges of the streets. Land will be conveyed to permit the widening of each right-of-way along Eglinton Avenue East and Mason Road, including a corner rounding at the northeast corner of the Site. Proposed landscaped areas with street trees have been proposed along the Eglinton Avenue boulevard. New trees are also proposed on the Mason Road frontage on the private property adjacent to the sidewalk creating an attractive transition from the public to the private realm; and
i. provide indoor and outdoor amenity space for residents, giving each resident access to outdoor amenity spaces such as balconies, terraces, courtyards, rooftop gardens and other types of outdoor spaces.
28Mr. Fordyce opined that the Proposed Development meets the policy goals achieving a variety of housing objectives, supports public transit, active transportation and manages growth within an intensification area and provides an appropriate housing option and conforms with the TOP. The Tribunal agrees with Mr. Fordyce’s assessment of the TOP.
CONCLUSION
29It is Mr. Fordyce’s professional planning opinion that the Proposed Development has regard to matters of Provincial interest in accordance with s. 2 of the Act, is consistent with the PPS, conforms with the Growth Plan and the TOP and represents good planning.
THE TRIBUNAL FINDINGS
30The Tribunal accepts the uncontested evidence from Mr. Fordyce in its entirety. His Affidavit and viva voce evidence were well structured and articulated. He walked the Tribunal through the hierarchy of the Provincial and the City planning documents to reach his conclusions.
31The Tribunal finds that Proposed Development meets the goals and objectives of these various planning documents and is an efficient use of land and infrastructure, utilizing appropriate massing, height and stepbacks that will compliment the existing and planned context in an area of emerging growth.
32The Proposed Development will offer a range of unit sizes, located in an area of well supported transit options, in the vicinity of a MRSA where higher intensification is directed. The design will encourage walking, cycling and other active transportation.
33The Proposed Development is supported by a robust series of studies/reports as identified in paragraph 17 above and conforms to the built form policies of the TOP. Adequate indoor and outdoor amenity space is provided for the enjoyment of the inhabitants.
34The Tribunal finds that the Proposed Development has regard to matters of Provincial interest in accordance with s. 2 of the Act, is consistent with the PPS, conforms with the Growth Plan and the TOP, represents good planning and is in the public interest.
