Mixed-Use Areas:

  • Commercial-Residential uses are

permitted

  • Mid-rise development
  • Transition in built form to adjacent

neighbourhoods

Planning Framework

Avenues:

  • The Official Plan directs growth to the

Downtown area, Centres, and Avenues

Former Borough of East York 6752

  • Residential (low density - high density)
  • Commercial (residential /commercial)

Former City of Toronto 438-86

  • Commercial-Residential uses
  • 14 m (4 storeys) height limit
  • Total density of 2.5 times the lot area

City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013

  • Under appeal at OMB
  • Same permissions as ZBL 6752 & 438-86

SLIDE 16

Mid-rise Development

  • Study adopted by City

Council in 2010

  • Building height relates to

width of City Right-Of-Way (ROW)

  • Allows for 5 hrs of sunlight
  • n the opposite sidewalk
  • Stepback of upper storeys
  • Rear setback and angular

plane requirements

What is a Mid-Rise building? Mid-rise buildings are 'in between' scale of buildings, they are bigger than houses but smaller than towers (5-11 storeys subject to other criteria).

Traffic Volume Pottery/Mortimer: AM PEAK

Historical Data:

  • Vehicle volumes counts over a 10

year period (AM and PM peak hour)

  • Traffic is relatively constant

Current Experience:

  • Spot concerns of increased delays

Future Growth:

  • Policy based growth encouraging

modal shift

  • Improved public realm
  • Managing traffic

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Bicycle Data: Heat Map

  • New bicycle data currently under

review tracking raw numbers of bicycle trips

  • All streets are cycling streets, some

are more intense that others

  • Shift in transportation mode choice

as people choose to walk or cycle for example with improved infrastructure

  • Shift in mode choice results in

stabilised vehicle traffic despite increased population density
