Yonge and 16 th KDA Background Research, Draft Vision, Principles & Land Use/Design Scenarios Presentation to the People Plan Task Force April 13, 2016 Updated on April 26, 2016 Implementing the 16 th KDA - Location KDA boundary OMB
Presentation to the People Plan Task Force April 13, 2016 Updated on April 26, 2016 Implementing the
OMB Approved/Appealed Development KDA boundary Hillcrest Mall South Hill Shopping Centre
Application under OMB appeal
CARRVILLE RD David Dunlap Observatory lands
Haulover OMB approved Great Land OMB approved
OP Policies:
Character - pedestrian-oriented
Mix of Uses – med/high density res, office, commercial, retail, community uses, parks
Density - 2.5 to 3.0 FSI per development block
Height - 3 to 20 storeys (note: max base of 6 storeys & max 3 storeys if abutting low-rise buildings in neighbourhood designation)
max 28 storeys with 5.4 FSI
expansions to Hillcrest Mall
Recognizes that there are differences between the northern quadrants and the southern quadrants:
Lot size
Lack of public streets
Larger building footprints
Challenge of this study is to define a scenario that brings the quadrants together as a comprehensive whole
Future Haulover Future Great Land
9218 Yonge
to OMB on Oct 23, 2015
9218 Yonge Street
Acceptable level, except in PM peak period when southbound left turn lane operates at capacity and side street approach operate at critical
Yonge St and Spruce Avenue intersection operating at poor level during AM peak
Metrolinx New Station Analysis (Sept 22, 2015)
Identified Yonge/16th as 1 of 50 new stations
Unclear whether SE or NE corner of KDA Conceptual Design Report (March 2012) (approved by TTC & York Region)
Identified an option for train storage and maintenance facility north of Richmond Hill Centre station
One option includes a future subway extension to Yonge/16th
Great Lands site plan and Haulover exception policy accommodates a future subway station at Yonge/16th
43 m ROW (Proposed)
Provide a distinctive mixed-use commercial-residential node while enhancing the role of Hillcrest Mall as a centre for retail activity
Create a unique sense of place at the intersection of Yonge Street and Carrville Road/16th Avenue
Establish an attractive urban appearance through high quality building, landscape and streetscape design
Provide a distinctive mixed-use commercial-residential node while enhancing the role of Hillcrest Mall as a centre for retail activity
Create a unique sense of place at the intersection of Yonge Street and Carrville Road/16th Avenue
Establish an attractive urban appearance through high quality building, landscape and streetscape design
Promote a walkable and connected pedestrian and cycling environment
Expand the public street network to create a finer-grained system with buildings aligned to frame existing and new streets
Enhance the urban open space system to expand connections to the Greenway System

Expand the public street network to create a finer-grained system with buildings aligned to frame existing and new streets
Enhance the urban open space system to expand connections to the Greenway System
Maintain the viability of existing uses and activities through phased redevelopment opportunities that will contribute to the KDA’s evolution into a mixed-use urban centre
Provide a built form transition from the 16th KDA to adjacent residential neighbourhoods
Maintain Hillcrest Mall
Direct tall commercial/office buildings to Yonge and 16th junction
Protect future subway alignment (“no build zone”)
New ‘park frontage’ access along expanded German Mills Greenway
Expanded urban open space system
Pedestrian/cyclist green connection along rail corridor to Regional Centre
Connections to Bridgeview Park / future David Dunlap Observatory Park
Street and block pattern and urban open spaces creating east/west connections to Greenway System
Tall building height controlled by 45 degree angular plane from adjacent neighbourhoods
Mid-rise buildings generally 4-6 storeys in height. Minimum mid-rise building height of 3 stories
Less intense built form More intense built form
Key variations
1 new full turn intersection at
western Hillcrest driveway and new east-west street parallel to Carrville
New east/west street parallel to
Carrville to delineate KDA boundary
New north-south street with right
in/right out intersection at Carrville
New road along the edge of the
Greenway in NE Quadrant
Key variations
Expansion to parkland obtained
through Great Lands approval (SE quadrant)
Central square in NE Quadrant Linear open space along subway
alignment
New green spaces on Hillcrest
Mall site
Key variations
Least height/density along Yonge
St north of Yonge/16th intersection
Stacked townhouses used to
transition to neighbourhoods
Expansion to Hillcrest Mall No Frills and CIBC remain, with
adjacent new infill development
Key variations
1 new full turn intersection at
western Hillcrest driveway and new east-west street parallel to Carrville
New east/west street parallel to
Carrville to delineate KDA boundary
New north-south street with right
in/right out intersection at Carrville
New grid pattern in NE Quadrant
with public road along the Greenway
Key variations
Yonge Street frontage park in NE
Quadrant
Linear green corridor along 16th
connecting Yonge Street to Greenway providing a gateway feature
Expanded open space on
Hillcrest Mall site
Key variations
Mostly mid rise development Taller buildings aligned along
Yonge Street
Stacked townhouses transition to
Neighbourhood to west of KDA on Carrville
Key variations
3 potential new full turn intersections Hillcrest driveway and new
north-south street on Carrville
Hillcrest driveway and new
east/west street parallel to Carrville
16th Avenue by re-configuring
existing service streets and modifying the grade
New east/west street parallel to
Carrville to delineate KDA boundary
Key variations
Expansion to Spruce Ave Park
New open spaces in SE Quadrant
Key variations
Mostly mid rise development More tall buildings than other
scenarios
Stacked townhouses behind
parkland obtained through Great Lands approval (SE quadrant)
