In recent years, the City of Toronto has dramatically expanded where and how we allow more housing to be built. We now permit multiplexes, garden and laneway suites, and six-storey apartment buildings on Major Streets in neighbourhoods, with more to come. We have also expanded financial incentives to help make it more affordable to build, including waivers of development charges and park levies for up to six units plus a garden or laneway suite on a single parcel of land. As uptake of Missing Middle housing grows, I recently met with a group of multiplex planners, architects, and builders, along with key City staff, to discuss further operational measures the City could take to make it easier and cheaper to build more housing options in our neighbourhoods. In addition to recommendations in my letter ( PH30.12 - Making It Easier to Build Multiplexes ) adopted by Planning and Housing Committee on May 7, 2026, these recommendations relate to items that emerged from these discussions. Extending Development Charge Incentives to Condominium Multiplexes In July 2025, Council adopted Item MM32.5 - Creating More Affordable Housing Options in Our Neighbourhoods, which increased the maximum…

In direct response to Toronto’s escalating housing affordability crisis, the City continues to improve on and strengthen its structure, policy framework and overall approach to support and accelerate the delivery of housing development on City-owned lands (City-led projects, including the Toronto Builds and legacy Housing Now portfolio) and on third party lands (City-supported projects, including the Rental Housing Supply Program and legacy Open Door Affordable Housing Program portfolio). In 2025, as part of these ongoing efforts, City Council adopted PH21.4 – “Toronto Builds - A Policy Framework to Build More Affordable Rental Homes on Public Land” and EX25.1 – “Building Faster: Streamlining Housing Delivery and Strengthening the City’s Development Capacity.” These reports established a new policy framework for housing development on City lands, and outlined the new housing delivery model for the City and its partners. The City also established the Housing Development Office (HDO) within the Development and Growth Service Area to provide end-to-end oversight of the City’s housing portfolio, including all City-led and City-supp…

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 11-storey mixed-use building at 3307 and 3313 Ellesmere Road. The proposed Official Plan Amendment redesignates the property from Neighbourhoods to Mixed Use Areas to facilitate the proposed development and would introduce a new Site and Area Specific Policy within the Highland Creek Community Secondary Plan. The proposed Zoning By-law amendment would permit the construction of the 18,049 square metre building consisting of 17,903 square metres of residential gross floor area (180 residential units) and 146 square metres of non-residential gross floor area. This would result in a floor space index (FSI) of 4.93 times the area of the lot. This report recommends a Holding (H) provision on the subject site to ensure that the identified infrastructure matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the Director, Engineering Review, Development Review. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement 2024 (PPS 2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan. The proposal will intensify an underutilized site along a Major Street and Avenue tha…

A centralized access system that provides ‘one window access’ for affordable and deeply affordable, Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) rental housing is essential to simplify the application process for people seeking housing, better inform applicants of housing opportunities, and connect them more quickly to homes. In addition, a centralized access system will provide the City with increased oversight, better data to inform decision-making, and more efficient program management. The City is establishing a centralized access point for applicants seeking Affordable Rental housing, leveraging the existing Choice-Based Housing Access System (the System) for RGI housing and its applicant-facing online portal. Currently, Affordable Rental housing providers run and manage random draws for each new building, screen applicants, and manage building-specific waiting lists. Applicants must apply for every individual building through the building-specific application. A centralized access system will provide a more efficient, transparent and consistent approach to finding and filling Affordable Rental homes for applicants and housing providers. Once Affordable Rental homes are integrated…

Majority required - PH29.5 - Fletcher - motion 1
In March 2026, the provincial government announced its intention to introduce legislation to seize the City of Toronto’s land and other rights in the Toronto Island Billy Bishop Airport, in order to create a jet airport that could handle 10 million flights a year. Bill 110, Building Billy Bishop Airport Act, 2026 was introduced in the Ontario Legislature on April 23. The exact plan for the jet airport is unclear, but current evidence suggests it could have transformative impacts on Toronto, many of them conflicting with city objectives and initiatives. The jet airport plan could mean, for example: multiplying the number of flights from the airport; worsening downtown and waterfront noise, traffic and congestion; turning all or part of Little Norway Park into a parking lot; closing all or part of Hanlan’s Point and its clothing optional beach; shutting the Hanlan’s Point ferry dock; increasing cancer rates for those living near the airport through toxic air pollution; increasing water pollution in the Toronto Harbour by reducing natural flushing; eliminating or reducing recreational boating in the Toronto Harbour due to runway construction, a larger marine exclusi…

This report recommends approval of a Rental Housing Demolition application which proposes to demolish 40 rental dwelling units located at 1233 Yonge Street and 9 Woodlawn Avenue East. The 40 rental units are proposed to be replaced as part of the new development on the site. The proposal includes a Tenant Assistance Plan that addresses the right of existing tenants to return to replacement rental units at similar rents and provides financial compensation to mitigate hardship. The proposed development is the subject of a related Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application (21 251886 STE 11 OZ) which would permit a 47-storey residential building with 730 dwelling units, including 40 replacement rental units. An approval report for the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application has been advanced concurrently with this Rental Housing Demolition application approval report. This report also recommends approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.
