1 1 DRAFT & WITHOUT PREJUDICE McCowan Precinct Plan Study Background & Deliverables In September, 2011, City Planning (Scarborough District) began a study of an area within the Scarborough Centre, identified as the McCowan Precinct. The intent of the McCowan Precinct Plan Study is to develop a Precinct Plan for the McCowan area. The Precinct Plan would further articulate the policies of the Official Plan (including the Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan) and establish a framework for the future growth and development of the McCowan Precinct. The McCowan Precinct Plan Study is being undertaken with the assistance of area residents, landowners, business owners, the Ward Councillor and other City Divisions, who, together, formed the "McCowan Precinct Community Working Group" and the "McCowan Precinct Staff Working Group". The Study also included the work of Planning and Transportation Consultants who undertook a "Street Design and Transportation Network Study". The intent of this study is to develop/recommend a street and block plan, pedestrian connections and cycling routes and a parks and open space network. Through the work of the Community & Staff Working Groups, consultant study and a design Charrette meeting, a Precinct Plan has been developed for the McCowan area. City Planning is recommending, subject to City Council approval, that the Precinct Plan consist of the following 1) A Site Specific Policy for McCowan Precinct An Official Plan Amendment (OPA), adopted by Council, to add specific policy direction for the McCowan Precinct to the Toronto Official Plan to: articulate a Vision and Guiding Principles for the McCowan Precinct establish policies to guide growth and development within the Precinct identify needed public and private improvements/enhancements. 2) A Conceptual Master Plan for the McCowan Precinct: A Conceptual Master Plan will provide a visual illustration of the Vision, Guiding Principles and Policy direction/development strategy for the McCowan Precinct. The Conceptual Master Plan will include a recommended street and block plan, connections network, parks, open space and urban spaces plan, and a pedestrian and cycling network. It is intended to be conceptual. Specific location of proposed streets, connections, parks, public open spaces, cycling and pedestrian routes will be determined as development occurs within the Precinct. The Conceptual Master Plan will provide guidance for new development and public initiatives. 3) Urban Design Guidelines Urban Design Guidelines will guide the design and organization of the built environment for the McCowan Precinct. These guidelines will contain specific recommendations on matters such as, but not limited to, building massing and design, streetscapes and pedestrian activity, and improvements to the public realm including parks and open spaces. McCowan Precinct Site Specific Policy: Outline/Topics Introduction: The policies of this Precinct Plan are founded upon a "Vision" and "Guiding Principles" for the McCowan Precinct that have been developed by the residents, interested parties, landowners and workers who live, work and visit the McCowan Precinct and its surrounding areas. The Vision and Guiding Principles form the basis of this Site & Area Specific Policy for the McCowan Precinct and are to be read and implemented in conjunction with the Council adopted, "Conceptual Master Plan for McCowan Precinct"
2 2 DRAFT & WITHOUT PREJUDICE and the "McCowan Precinct Urban Design Guidelines". This Site & Area Specific Policy includes policies to enhance and strengthen the designated land use(s) of the Precinct, including the employment base within the Precinct. This Site & Area Specific Policy also includes implementation policies and strategies, development principles and design strategies, guidance on future infrastructure investment; and identifies potential public and private improvements to parks, the transportation network and community and social services. 1.0 McCowan Precinct: Vision: McCowan Precinct plays an important role within Scarborough Centre and the City of Toronto. The vision for the McCowan Precinct is for a vibrant, mixed use, community with urban village characteristics that include: a focus of employment and housing; destination features for its residents, workers and visitors; a safe and pleasant place to live, work and play; pedestrian-friendly streets; transit-oriented built form; ease of movement; high quality architecture; great publicly accessible and connected parks and public spaces, and high levels of sustainability. It is intended that McCowan Precinct be a community within the Scarborough Centre; and a community that enjoys a strong relationship and connections with the Centre and the adjacent residential and employment communities. 1.2 Guiding Principles: Managing Change: Future development of the McCowan Precinct will enhance the urban character and employment focus of the Precinct and the Scarborough Centre. Building upon, and in harmony with, the existing residential and employment uses within the Precinct, an urban village community will be promoted through expansion and refinement of the existing street and block network, promotion of public spaces, parks and community services and facilities, public art and way-finding elements, promoting destination features for the people that live, work and visit the area, attention to building architecture, building placement, and providing for a gateway feature with elements that serve to announce arrival to the area and create a sense of place. Future residential and employment growth, together with public initiatives, will explore opportunities to achieve efficiencies in infrastructure servicing and energy use, including the potential for district energy provision. Future development and public initiatives will enhance and expand employment and residential opportunities, parks, open spaces, services, programs and facilities for the community, and opportunities to live, work and play in the area Movement: Movement and connectivity are keystones of the McCowan Precinct. Movement within, and connectivity between the Precinct and its surrounding communities will encompass a variety of modes of transportation and options. Development will be transit oriented and take advantage of public transit infrastructure. A Street and Block Plan as set out in the Conceptual Master Plan for the Precinct, will be based on a hierarchy of City streets, varying street typologies, and designs. An integrated network of pathways and sidewalks will be employed to encourage walking and cycling. Movement and connectivity will promote transit use, walking, cycling and efficient vehicular movement while providing a safe and attractive built environment for people to visit or live, and work within the Precinct Building Communities: The McCowan Precinct will develop as a vibrant urban community within the Scarborough Centre, closely connected to its adjacent communities. Building upon the existing residential, employment, community, services and facilities, and the Precinct's parks, natural areas and public spaces, development of the Precinct will be designed to attract new businesses, visitors and residents. New
3 3 DRAFT & WITHOUT PREJUDICE development will provide for a diversity of housing and employment in keeping with the goals and objectives of the Scarborough Centre. New development and public initiatives will contribute to the livability and walk-ability of the Precinct through public realm improvements, the creation of public spaces, attention to the architecture and site design of new buildings and public infrastructure, contributions to the provision of community services and facilities and public art initiatives, efforts to achieve energy efficiencies and the promotion of opportunities to incorporate destination features that appeal to residents, workers and visitors of the area. Residential and employment growth, together with public initiatives, will facilitate investment in new social and physical infrastructure to create a rich mix of places for people to live, work, and visit. 2.0 Managing Change: 2.1 Land Use: - Enhance Mixed-Use of the Precinct - Promote Employment (and in particular office development) 2.2 McCowan Precinct Gateway - Intent: to announce arrival at McCowan Precinct, through such means as: Public Art Enhanced Pedestrian Connection(s) Building Placement Destination Facility/Use Public Space(s)/Gathering Space(s) Connectivity to Public Transit Signage Landscape Features 2.3 Street & Block Plan - Finer grid of public streets to promote development of larger blocks of land - Network of public streets, pedestrian and bicycle routes - Connections (publically accessible vehicular lanes/pedestrian walkways) - Network of public open spaces/parks/urban spaces - Implementation of a street and block plan will consider, amongst other matters, existing parcel layouts, existing and approved development, planned/approved infrastructure and transportation facilities/improvements, and site constraints such as floodplain and natural areas. 2.4 Conceptual Master Plan/Urban Design Guidelines - Pedestrian-scaled development blocks - Appropriate intersection spacing - Compact urban form & active streets - Connected parks and public space system - Public art - Streetscape & public realm improvements - Enhanced vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian movement 2.5 Municipal Services - Assess servicing/infrastructure 2.6 Stormwater Management - Low Impact Development Stormwater Management - Green Development Standards
