The traffic study yielded a recommended context for the development of the Build/City Lands, including: • Incorporate the extension of Musgrave Street east of Victoria Park Avenue; • Facilitate the future extension of Blantyre Avenue north of Gerrard Street East and make provision for signalizing the Gerrard Street East / Blantyre Avenue intersection; • Ensure that the Build/City lands portion of the Quarry Lands provides a convenient connection between Gerrard Street East and internal land uses; • Ensure that an internal connection between the Build/City lands and the GCD lands is not precluded by the Build Toronto development program; and, • Ensure that pedestrian and cycling infrastructure within the Build/City lands maximizes internal circulation and connections between proposed land uses and adjacent public rights‐of‐way and neighbourhoods. 21 Retail Market Considerations Retail Considerations Click toMarket Click to edit Master title style edit Master title style Build Toronto commissioned a Retail Market Demand and Impact Analysis to determine if there would be any impacts from retail uses on the Quarry Lands. The study yielded a there would be any impacts from retail uses on the Quarry Lands. The study yielded a recommended context for the development of the Build/City Lands, including: • The site is well located for retail uses. • The market research indicated that local customers are travelling outside of the area to shop. The introduction of new retail space at the site will provide a broader range of services locally. y Furniture, Home Furnishings & Electronics Building & Outdoor Home Supplies Apparel & Accessories Department Stores** Automotive Miscellaneous Retailers General Merchandise* Supermarkets Specialty Food Pharmacies & Personal Care Spent in the Local Area Spent Outside of the Local Area 9.2% 14.3% 14 3% 15.4% 16.7% 34.1% 42.5% 46.7% 60.8% 61.0% 73.0% 90.8% 85.7% 85 7% 84.6% 83.3% 65.9% 57.5% 53.3% 39.2% 39.0% 27.0% 22 Click to edit Master title style Click to edit Master title style Opportunities All Opportunities All Opportunities Click Click to edit Master title style to edit Master title style 24 All Opportunities and Considerations All Opportunities and Considerations Click Click to edit Master title style to edit Master title style 25 Emerging Land Use Structure Emerging Land Use Structure Click to edit Click to edit Master title style Master title style 26 Click to edit Master title style Click to edit Master title style Proposed Land P d L d Use Structure Proposed Structure Proposed Structure Residential Click to edit Click to edit Master title style Master ‐title style Proposed Amendments: • Redesignation to ‘Neighbourhoods.’ • Rezoning to Residential up to 4 storeys up to 4 storeys 28 Residential Built Form Residential Form Click to editBuilt Click to edit Master title style Master title style 29 Proposed Structure Proposed Structure Residential Residential and Park Click to edit Click to edit Master title style Master ‐title style and Park Proposed Amendments: • Realignment of Park R li t fP k designation to capture new alignment. • Rezoning to Park Zone. g 30 Park Design Park Click Design Click to edit Master title style to edit Master title style Proposed Proposed Structure Structure ‐ Residential, Park, Mixed Use Residential, Click to edit Click to edit Master title style Master title style Park, Mixed Use Proposed Amendments: • Retain ‘Mixed Use’ Designation. • Rezoning to commercial 32 Mixed Use Built Form Mixed Form Click toUse Click to edit Master title style editBuilt Master title style Target 33 Concept Plan Concept PlanMaster title style Click to edit Click to edit Master title style 34 Traffic Considerations Traffic Click toConsiderations Click to edit Master title style edit Master title style The Transportation Impact Study (TIS) has been submitted to the City of Toronto for review. TIS parameters were vetted with City of Toronto Transportation staff and form the basis for existing and future mobility assessments. Parameters include: Parameters include: • Study Area, Background Traffic Allowances, capacity analysis methodology and assumptions; • Forecast traffic generation associated with the proposed Build/City lands is based upon comparable land uses within the City of Toronto/Scarborough context to ensure locational and built form consistency; within the City of Toronto/Scarborough context to ensure locational and built form consistency; • Forecast residential & commercial peak hour traffic generation (two‐way trips) is approximately 250 vehicles during the weekday morning, 450 trips during the weekday afternoon, and 550 vehicles during the Saturday afternoon periods; • In general, the study area street network can appropriately accommodate the forecast future total traffic In general the study area street network can appropriately accommodate the forecast future total traffic conditions without undue impact; • Only minor improvements to study area street network operations are recommended to appropriately accommodate forecast future total traffic volumes, including: • Optimizing traffic signal timing and phasing at are signalized intersections; Optimizing traffic signal timing and phasing at are signalized intersections; • Introducing a NB advance phase at Danforth and Victoria Park during weekday afternoon and Saturday afternoon design periods; and, • Introducing signalized intersection control at Gerrard Street East and Dengate Road consistent with prior assessments by the City of Toronto prior assessments by the City of Toronto. 35 Traffic Considerations Traffic Click toConsiderations Click to edit Master title style edit Master title style Key transportation features: (refer to annotated Site Plan to be provided by Tim) • Maximized vehicular cycling pedestrian connectivity to adjacent major streets/rights of way; Maximized vehicular, cycling, pedestrian connectivity to adjacent major streets/rights‐of‐way; • Internal street / laneway layout provides flexibility and accessibility to private and public land uses; • Provision for future vehicular connections have been allowed for in the street layout – e.g., Blantyre connection, GCD connection; • The proposed street connections also make appropriate provisions for existing and proposed commercial land uses within The Quarry Lands; • The commercial block has been designed to effectively distribute traffic to Victoria Park Avenus and the Musgrave Street extension; dedicated service vehicle facilities minimize the impact of delivery activity on day to day traffic activity. Commercial block parking has been located primarily beneath the commercial building, screening it from view. • Vehicular parking has been supplied to accommodate the proposed land uses but balanced so as not to induce added vehicular traffic; and, • Bicycle parking is being provided according to the Toronto Green Standards for both the residential land uses y p g gp g and commercial land uses. 36 Retail Market Considerations Retail Considerations Click toMarket Click to edit Master title style edit Master title style Retail market capacity: • There is sufficient market demand for up to 110,000 square feet of retail uses. The introduction of this space will not result in closures to existing business due to a lack of market demand. • Up to 110,000 square feet of retail development is compatible with surrounding retail uses in terms of size. 37 Click to edit Master title style Click to edit Master title style Proposed P d Design Views Views Site Master Site Looking West from Gerrard Lookingtitle West from Gerrard Street Click to– edit Click to edit Master title style style 39 Views Views Musgrave Musgrave Street Extension Looking East Extension Looking East Click to– edit Click to edit Master title style MasterStreet title style 40 Views Views Northeast Northeast Corner of Site Looking West of Site Looking West Click to– edit Click to edit Master title style MasterCorner title style 41 Views Views NewMaster New Street 2 Looking Northwest Street 2title Looking Click to– edit Click to edit Master title style style Northwest 42 Views Views Proposed Public Click to‐ Proposed Public Park Click to edit Master title style edit Master title Park style 43 Click to edit Master title style Click to edit Master title style Community C it Feedback Existing Infrastructure Existing Infrastructure Click to edit Click to edit Master title style Master title style 900 mm sanitary line 1500 mm stormwater 1200 mm tunnel 1050 mm watermain 45
