SCHEDULE 1  
35: MIMICO-JUDSON SECONDARY PLAN  
VISION  
The Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan ("the Secondary Plan Area") is located in South  
Etobicoke, north of the Metrolinx Rail Corridor and is bisected by Royal York Road as  
illustrated on Map 35-1. The Secondary Plan Area is comprised of two distinct subareas:  
The Judson Area west of Royal York Road, and the Mimico Triangle Area east of Royal  
York Road.  
The Secondary Plan Area is within and at the eastern edge of the South Etobicoke  
Employment Area and has supported employment uses for a number of years. The rail  
corridor has been a structural feature as residential neighbourhoods were developed on  
lands surrounding the Secondary Plan Area north of Judson Street and Portland Street  
and south of the rail corridor. The Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility is a major  
transportation facility operated by Metrolinx immediately south of the Judson Area and is  
integral to the delivery of regional transit service in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton  
Area.  
As part of the 2013 Municipal Comprehensive Review of employment lands, City  
Council designated the Mimico-Judson area as Regeneration Areas and identified it as  
being in need of revitalization. The Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan is the result of a  
Regeneration Area study completed for the area. This Secondary Plan provides a  
development framework for continued and expanded employment opportunities as well  
as targeted opportunities to introduce residential uses.  
In addition to the policies contained herein, additional policies and maps for Blocks A1,  
A2, A3, C, D and E are contained within Site and Area Specific Policies XXXX, XXXX,  
and XXXX.  
The policies contained within this Secondary Plan are based on four guiding  
principles.  
Retain and expand business through land use certainty and flexible mixed use  
regeneration  
The Secondary Plan continues to protect the area's economic function by providing  
land use certainty for businesses that wish to continue their operations in the area  
and requiring that all new development in Mixed Use Areas include an employment  
component either on-site or within the same block. The Mimico Village Business  
Improvement Area also plays an important role in the local economy that should be  
enhanced and reinforced through the policies of this Secondary Plan.  
Unlock underutilized lands for transit supportive mixed use development  
Intensifying both residential and employment uses in the Mimico Triangle  
Area within walking distance of the Mimico GO Station leverages the  
investment in transit infrastructure to balance transportation choices for new  
residents and employees.  
Protect and support existing operations and future expansion opportunities at the  
Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility  
The Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility plays - and will continue to play - a  
crucial role in Metrolinx's future plans to expand GO Train service throughout the  
Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Requiring employment uses lands adjacent  
to the yard provides for a land use separation as a form of mitigation from impacts  
that may be generated by this rail yard.  
Foster a connected and complete community  
This Secondary Plan provides policy guidance to achieve a complete community  
where people will live, work and undertake activities of daily life within walking  
distance to higher order transit. The proposed Newcastle Extension and  
MimicoJudson Greenway are significant components of this Secondary Plan and  
will achieve improved access to the Mimico GO Station and connectivity across  
Royal York Road for pedestrians and cyclists. These improvements provide  
important infrastructure to connect and integrate the Secondary Plan Area with  
nearby communities.  
Policies  
1.1  
To ensure that the Secondary Plan Area remains a viable place for businesses  
to locate and operate, a minimum Gross Floor Area of employment uses is required in  
all new development within Mixed Use Areas. The minimum amount will be  
determined based on the proposed building type as a function of Floor Space Index  
(FSI), in accordance with Policy 3.3.  
1.2  
The Secondary Plan supports the Vision as expressed by the Structure Plan  
illustrated on Map 35-2. The Structure Plan consists of Community Anchors and  
Connectors (listed below a) to h)). The anchors are fixed elements that any plans for  
change need to consider and strengthen; whereas the connectors provide physical  
links between places that are not directly connected to each other.  
CONNECTORS:  
a) Newcastle Extension: a street extension that runs along the rail corridor  
and expands the street network and improves mobility towards the  
Mimico GO Station.  
b) Mimico-Judson Greenway: a pedestrian and cycling connection  
between Ourland Park and Grand Avenue Park.  
c) Pedestrian / Cyclist Overpass: a pedestrian and cycling overpass that  
will provide safe and direct access over Royal York Road.  
d) Pedestrian/Cyclist Connection: a pedestrian and/or cycling tunnel or  
bridge to provide access across the rail corridor from the Mimico GO  
Station to Manchester Street.  
ANCHORS:  
e) Christ Church Cemetery and Coronation Park: two existing green  
spaces that form part of the open space network.  
f) Mimico GO Station: a focal point for commuters.  
g) Willowbrook Rail Maintenance Facility.  
h) New public park.  
1.3  
Map 35-3 identifies a number of sub-areas within the Secondary Plan:  
a)  
support the economic function of the Secondary Plan Area will be provided.  
b) Blocks "B" and "D" are lands where uses that support the economic  
Blocks "A1", "A2" and "A3" are Mixed Use Areas where uses that  
function of the Secondary Plan Area are permitted and additional residential,  
commercial, institutional and other uses may be permitted subject to  
development criteria that ensures compatibility with uses operating or  
permitted in Blocks "A1" and "A2".  
c)  
be considered in all developments.  
d) Block “F” is land where uses that support the economic function of the  
Blocks "C" and "E" are where rail safety and mitigation measures must  
Secondary Plan Area are permitted and additional residential, commercial,  
institutional and other employment uses may be permitted subject to  
development criteria, including the requirement that employment uses must be  
built prior to any residential use and that 100% of residential units be family  
sized units, with the exception of 29 Judson Street, which must provide a  
minimum of 15% two bedroom units. A family sized unit is a dwelling unit  
with a minimum of 2 bedrooms and a minimum of 110 square metres of gross  
floor area or a dwelling unit with 3 bedrooms or more.  
LAND USE  
The land use strategy for the Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan provides a framework for  
employment and residential uses to achieve a balance between compatible land uses that  
creates a dynamic place to live, work, learn and play.  
Policies  
2.1 Land use designations in this Secondary Plan are shown on Map 35-3.  
2.2 For the purposes of this Secondary Plan, uses that support the economic  
function of the Secondary Plan Area include, but are not limited to: office, light  
industrial and manufacturing, media-based facilities, production studios and facilities,  
and retail and service commercial uses that serve area employees, residents and  
commuters, and that are complementary to the services located within the Mimico  
Village Business  
Improvement Area.  
2.3  
Lawfully existing uses established at the time of the enactment of this  
Secondary Plan are permitted to continue. Where permitted by this Secondary Plan,  
residential and other sensitive land uses will be required to include any mitigation  
measures required to ensure their compatibility with operating or permitted  
employment uses.  
2.4

ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION  
The economic revitalization strategy builds on the extensive work undertaken as part of  
the Municipal Comprehensive Review of employment lands and provides area specific  
policies that are intended to attract new investment and retain existing businesses within  
the Secondary Plan Area.  
Policies  
3.1 Development will be consistent with the vision of revitalizing the Secondary Plan  
Area's economic function and promoting new employment opportunities, while  
protecting existing business operations.  
3.2 The development of vacant lands and the adaptive reuse of buildings for  
employment purposes are strongly encouraged.  
Business Expansion and Retention  
3.3  
Development of residential uses on lands within Blocks designated Mixed Use  
Areas will require the provision of a minimum gross floor area of non-residential uses  
that support the economic function of the Secondary Plan Area, based on the type of  
building proposed as follows:  
a)  
b)  
0.50 FSI for tall buildings (greater than 12-storeys);  
0.45 FSI for mid-rise buildings (5 to 12-storeys); and  
c)  
0.15 FSI for townhouses or low rise buildings (up to and including 4-storeys).  
3.4 The minimum required gross floor area of non-residential uses that  
support the economic function of the Secondary Plan Area shall be built prior  
to, or concurrent with, the associated new residential development, except for  
Block "F" where employment uses must be built prior to any residential uses.  
3.5  
New development that includes more than one building within a Block  
is to provide the minimum required gross floor area of non-residential uses  
that support the economic function of the Secondary Plan Area in one or more  
buildings.  
3.6  
Office uses and other commercial uses that are not retail based are  
strongly encouraged within new developments.  
PUBLIC REALM  
The public realm is made up of streets, parks and other publicly owned and publicly  
accessible private lands. Sunlight and wind conditions are important elements of a  
comfortable public realm. The public realm policies support a number of key place  
making objectives and create opportunities to connect important destinations internal and  
external to the Secondary Plan Area. The Newcastle Extension and Mimico-Judson  
Greenway are major components of the public realm and play a large role in achieving  
several goals of this Secondary Plan.  
Policies  
4.1 The structure of the Public Realm is shown on the Public Realm Structure Plan  
illustrated as Map 35-4.  
Newcastle Extension  
4.2 The Newcastle Extension is a key connector that will extend Newcastle Street  
from its existing terminus at Audley Street to connect to Portland Street.  
4.3  
The Newcastle Extension will have a right-of-way width of 25 metres and will  
run parallel to, and be wholly located within, the required setback from the rail  
corridor. The right-of-way will be complemented by an above grade building setback  
of 3 metres from the Newcastle Extension.  
4.4  
The Newcastle Extension will achieve a more integrated public street network  
within the Secondary Plan Area, provide additional public street frontage for Block  
"E", and create direct and safe pedestrian access to the Mimico GO Station from the  
nearby residential community to the east.  
Mimico-Judson Greenway  
4.5 The Mimico-Judson Greenway is a key connector that will provide a dedicated, direct and  
safe multi-use trail for pedestrians and cyclists through and beyond the Secondary Plan  
Area.  
4.6  
The Mimico-Judson Greenway:  
a)  
East of Royal York Road may be located within the required setback from the  
rail corridor, on Metrolinx lands, or within portions of the Newcastle and  
Windsor Street rights-of-way; and  
b)  
West of Royal York Road will be located on the south side of Judson Street  
and form part of the planned 23 metre right-of-way. Where the right-of-way  
requires widening along Judson Street, additional lands will be acquired from  
properties on the south side of Judson Street.  
4.7  
The Mimico-Judson Greenway will be a shared pedestrian and cycling trail  
with integrated landscape features and will link to existing parks and open spaces in  
the surrounding community such as Grand Avenue Park, Ourland Park and  
Coronation Park, as well as the new public park located within the Secondary Plan  
Area identified on Map 35-2.  
Public Realm Improvements  
4.8  
The Mimico-Judson Urban Design Guidelines will establish a context for  
coordinated development within the Secondary Plan Area and provide guidance for  
development to support the Public Realm Policies.  
4.9 Uses that provide amenities for future and existing employees are encouraged throughout  
the Secondary Plan Area to create an attractive work environment and to support the  
existing employment function.  
4.10 New development and public realm improvements will prioritize pedestrian  
movements throughout the Secondary Plan Area to ensure safety and minimize  
conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles, while ensuring that goods movement  
continue to be facilitated.  
4.11 Pedestrian priority areas will be created through increased building setbacks, additional  
landscaping and signage and are intended to direct pedestrian activity to the sides of  
the street on which Blocks "A2", "B", "C", and "D" are located. To minimize pedestrian  
conflict with employment uses, Pedestrian Priority Areas are identified on Map 35-5  
Movement Strategy and apply to the following blocks:  
a)  
b)  
c)  
West side of Windsor Street between Portland Street and the Mimico GO  
Station;  
East side of Buckingham Street between Portland Street and Newcastle Street;  
and  
South side of Newcastle Street between Windsor Street and Buckingham  
Street.  
The Mimico-Judson Urban Design Guidelines will provide design details of each  
pedestrian priority area.  
4.12 Privately Owned, Publicly Accessible Open Spaces (POPS) will be  
encouraged in new developments containing residential uses and designed to extend  
and connect the public realm with development sites in a way that is accessible to  
members of the public year-round.  
MOVEMENT  
The Movement Strategy for the Secondary Plan Area is based on the opportunities to  
utilize higher order transit and improve the Secondary Plan Area's integration with  
neighbouring communities. The Movement Strategy provides for the introduction of the  
Newcastle Extension along with the Mimico-Judson Greenway, which will extend the  
local road network and provide for important pedestrian/cycling connections across  
Royal York Road.  
Policies  
5.1 The Movement Strategy for the Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan Area is illustrated  
on Map 35-5.  
Newcastle Extension and Mimico-Judson Greenway  
5.2  
The Newcastle Extension and Mimico-Judson Greenway will be acquired  
prior to or in conjunction with redevelopment within Block "E". Within Block “C”,  
the Mimico-  
Judson Greenway may be secured through an easement registered on title for any  
portion(s) located within a rail corridor setback, or on Metrolinx lands, or within  
portions of the Newcastle and Windsor Street rights-of-way.  
5.3  
The detailed design of the Newcastle Extension and Mimico-Judson  
Greenway will be informed by the Mimico-Judson Urban Design Guidelines and  
refined through the preparation of Detailed Block Plans as required by this Secondary  
Plan and will include details on required rail safety infrastructure and noise  
attenuation features, and the location of any required servicing infrastructure.  
5.4 Development shall not proceed within the portion of Block "E" that includes the  
Newcastle Extension until the alignment and detailed design of the right-of-way is  
acceptable to the City.  
Transit and Active Transportation  
5.5  
Rerouting local surface transit to the Newcastle Extension is encouraged to  
provide more direct access to the Mimico GO Station.  
5.6  
Any improvements and/or site alterations to the Mimico GO Station should be  
undertaken in a manner that advances this Secondary Plan with respect to improved  
pedestrian and cycling connectivity both across and along the rail corridor and  
facilities for providing pick-up and drop-off that can be wholly accommodated on site.  
5.7  
The Mimico-Judson Greenway overpass at Royal York Road will be  
implemented through future capital improvements.  
5.8  
Where appropriate and in accordance with the Mimico-Judson Urban Design  
Guidelines, the following cycling infrastructure will be encouraged within the  
Secondary Plan Area to facilitate increased cycling safety and ridership:  
a)  
Separated bicycle lanes, sharrows, signed routes and off-street multi-use  
trails such as the Mimico-Judson Greenway;  
Increased bicycle parking; and  
Space allocated for future expansion of the Bike Share network at Mimico  
GO Station.  
b)  
c)  
5.9  
Commuter vehicle and bicycle parking will be encouraged as part of new  
developments within the Mimico-Judson Secondary Plan Area.  
Goods Movement and Loading  
5.10 The following vehicle routes are loading and goods movement priority routes.  
Signage will indicate that these routes facilitate loading and goods movement to and  
from the existing and future businesses within the Mimico Triangle Area:  
a)  
b)  
c)  
d)  
Portland Street between Royal York Road and Buckingham Street;  
Newcastle Street between Royal York Road and Buckingham Street;  
Windsor Street between Portland Street and Newcastle Street; and  
Buckingham Street between Portland Street and Newcastle Street.  
5.11 In conjunction with the identified Pedestrian Priority Areas (Policy 4.11),  
adequate signage and wayfinding will be implemented to discourage  
pedestrian activity along sidewalks within Blocks "A1" and "A3".  
5.12 Where possible, new development will locate loading docks away from  
public streets to minimize conflicts between loading vehicles and  
pedestrians.  
BUILT FORM  
The infill redevelopment opportunities provided for within the Secondary Plan Area will  
take various built forms based on their location within the Secondary Plan Area, the site's  
ability to provide key infrastructure such as new roads and parkland and surrounding  
context. New development should define the street edges, parks and open spaces and  
ensure the scale and form will respect the scale of the existing Neighbourhoods and  
achieve compatibility with the permitted employment uses within the Secondary Plan  
Area.  
Policies  
6.1  
Development within the Secondary Plan Area shall be constructed no taller  
than the maximum building heights illustrated on Map 35-6.  
6.2  
Development within the Secondary Plan Area shall:

in height;  
b)  
Mid-rise buildings are buildings no less than 5-storeys (16.5 metres)  
and no more than 12-storeys (37.5 metres) in height; and  
c)  
Tall buildings are buildings no less than 13-storeys (40.5 metres) and  
no more than 30-storeys (91.5 metres) in height.  
6.5  
Development should:  
a)  
b)  
c)  
Provide a consistent four-storey street wall;  
Incorporate a stepback above the fourth storey along all public streets; and  
Be located entirely within a 45 degree angular plane measured from all  
property lines abutting streets beginning at 16 metres above grade measured at  
the property line abutting the street.  
6.6 On Block "C" only, tall buildings may pierce the angular plane for a portion of the  
street frontage.  
LIVABILITY  
A range and mix of housing and the provision of parks and community services and  
facilities support and enhance quality of life for residents. To achieve a complete and  
inclusive community, a full range of housing in terms of form, tenure and  
affordability, community services and facilities and a new public park will be  
required.  
Policies

two-bedroom units or larger, including 10 percent of the total units built as  
three-bedroom units or larger;  
For Block "F", 100 percent of residential units being family sized units, with  
the exception of 29 Judson Street, which must provide a minimum of 15  
percent two- bedroom units; and  
At least one-half of all two-bedroom and three-bedroom or larger units in a)  
above built with all bedrooms located on an exterior wall with glazing.  
7.2  
Development of new affordable rental and ownership housing is encouraged.  
Community Services and Facilities  
7.3 The Secondary Plan Area is a relatively small area that is located within a larger  
community where there are opportunities to provide additional community services  
and facilities to support and meet the needs of residents and employees.  
7.4 Community Services and Facilities priorities for the Secondary Plan Area and  
surrounding community include the following:  
a)  
b)  
c)  
Pre-school programs;

opportunity to be repurposed to accommodate some of the identified  
community services and facilities priorities for the Secondary Plan Area and  
broader community.  
7.6  
7.7  
Community services and facilities will be located within the Secondary Plan  
Area or in close proximity to resident and employee populations.  
The City will monitor the needs and priorities for additional community  
services and facilities to serve the residents and employees of the Secondary  
Plan Area as development occurs.  
Parks  
7.8  
New public park(s) are required to serve future and existing residents and  
employees within the Secondary Plan Area, act as a focal point of the neighbourhood,  
and should be located to allow for easy access to the Mimico-Judson Greenway.  
7.9  
New public park(s) will be located within Block "D" and "E" identified on  
Map 35-2 and have frontage on at least two public streets in highly visible and  
accessible locations, and designed to be in keeping with the character of the  
neighbourhood.

located park.  
7.11 The public park space will provide a neighbourhood park atmosphere, which  
will allow for a variety of outdoor activity and passive recreation opportunities for  
workers, residents and visitors to the area. It will assist in creating connections  
between private and public open spaces within the Secondary Plan Area.  
7.12 For developments in Block "D", the dedication of land for the public park will be  
the priority over a dedication through cash-in-lieu.  
7.13 Proponents who are seeking to develop on lands within the Secondary Plan  
Area outside of Block "D" are encouraged to secure off-site parkland dedication  
within Block "D".  
7.14 Notwithstanding Policy 4.3.8 of the Official Plan, the City may enter into a  
land exchange agreement(s) with property owners in Blocks “D” and “E” to facilitate  
the achievement of a comprehensive parks plan serving the area. Without limitation,  
the  
land exchange agreement may include terms that permit interim land configurations  
to facilitate phasing of redevelopment within Blocks “D” and “E”.  
ENVIRONMENTAL
