Adopted in 2010, Toronto's Sign By-law is a harmonized, City-wide set of regulations governing signs. Any member of the public may apply to City Council to amend the Sign By-law requesting permanent changes to regulations for specific properties or areas. Upon receiving an application, the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building (the "CBO") assesses the proposal to determine if the proposed changes to the Sign By-law align with the objectives and purposes of the City's regulations, including the Sign By-law itself. The Bader Group Inc. (the “Applicant”), authorized by the property owner, Gemstone Property Ltd., has applied for a Sign By-law Area-Specific Amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) for the property located at 2 College Street (the “Premises”). The Proposed Amendment, if approved, would not only permit an expressly prohibited sign type, but it would also institute regulations that significantly diverge from the current standards governing permissible third party signs in the area. Specifically, the Proposed Amendment would allow for and regulate: - A third party electronic roof sign (the “Proposed Sign&rdqu…

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Milner Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required. Transportation Services has reviewed the need for pedestrian crossing protection at the intersection of Milner Avenue and Executive Court/Mid-Dominion Acres. Based on the assessment undertaken, Transportation Services does not recommend the installation of pedestrian crossing protection on Milner Avenue at Executive Court/Mid-Dominion Acres, as the warrant criteria was not met for either a pedestrian crossover (PXO) or traffic control signals.

The total in-kind donation amount for the project is valued up to $0.150 million. Under City Council’s Donations to the City of Toronto for Community Benefits Policy, Council authority is required to accept donations over $0.050 million. No costs will be incurred by Parks and Recreation for the court refurbishment, and ongoing maintenance will be covered through annual Parks and Recreation operating budget. Reason for urgency: This matter is time sensitive and urgent given ongoing consultations, future design and planning work needed to open such a facility in 2026. Delays in Council approval will jeopardize timelines, donor commitments and other work items supporting the project.

This motion concerns a minor variance and consent application in relation to a large multi-building development at 250 Wincott Drive. The owner has filed a number of applications seeking revisions to the Council-approved development, including reduction of parking and increased building heights. The applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment requesting variances from City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 (File A0078/25EYK) (the “Minor Variance Application”). The Minor Variance Application seeks four variances to alter the minimum parking and loading standards that apply to a new proposed building on the east side of the site. For context, in July 2021, City Council approved a Zoning By-law Amendment for the Site (18 150932 WET 04 OZ, By-laws 834-2021 and 835-2021), which permitted a multi-building, mixed-use development. In January 2023, a new Zoning By-law Amendment application (23 101352 WET 02 OZ) was submitted with proposed increased heights for the two approved buildings on the west side of the site. This file is currently under review by City Staff. Etobicoke-York Community Council has requested the Executive Director, Development Review to consider the inclusio…

On June 25, 2025, a by-law-protected, mature honey locust tree was removed without permits on a residential infill development site in Leaside. After the initial minor variance application was submitted, City Planning worked collaboratively with the developer on revised plans requiring additional variances to ensure the protection of the tree while facilitating the construction of new housing on the site. The application was approved by the Committee of Adjustment. Following the removal of the tree, the applicant resubmitted their application to include a new parking pad. This incident highlights a significant challenge the City faces in our efforts to protect and expand our tree canopy – a key part of Toronto’s broader environmental initiatives, in support of our TransformTO emissions reduction targets. The most recent Tree Canopy Study (2018) identified that the greatest amount of potential space for canopy growth is found on private property throughout the City, highlighting the importance of strong tree protections. The recourse available to the City to respond to tree by-law contraventions does not reflect the importance our tree canopy holds for the health and we…

Majority required - MM32.21 - Recommendations 2 and 3 only
This report responds to direction from City Council to report back by the second quarter of 2025 on a policy to decline fossil fuel advocacy advertising on City assets unless: - such advertising is consistent with TransformTO; and - any claims in the proposed advertisement have been independently verified as substantiated, per section 74.01 of the Competition Act, and paragraph 8 of the Canadian Code of Advertising Standards. Concerns were raised in 2024 following reports of Toronto Transit Commission vehicles wrapped in fossil fuel advocacy advertising, as such advertising was "greenwashing" and was counter to the climate goals of TransformTO. Greenwashing is defined as environmental claims that are false, misleading or deceptive, or not adequately and properly tested or substantiated as required. Staff recommend the following approach, made up of three components, to address potential greenwashing on non-Toronto Transit Commission assets which aligns with a forthcoming report to the Toronto Transit Commission Board of Directors in July 2025. Note that the following approach would not apply to advertising for products or technologies that use fossil fuels, such as vehicles and ap…
