Public Hearing Matter

The Clerk welcomed the public to the Virtual Public Planning and Council meeting. She advised that the Planning Act requires the Town to hold at least one public meeting on any proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, Official Plan Amendment or Draft Plan of Subdivision or Condominium.

The Clerk advised that the purpose of the public meeting is to hear from anyone who has an interest in the following application:

• 17600 Yonge Street - Upper Canada Mall Master Plan - The purpose of this amendment is to update the Secondary Plan policies with a Master Plan for the subject lands. The proposed Master Plan will guide the future long-term development of the lands surrounding the Mall. The applicant is proposing to put into effect a Master Plan that has been prepared for the subject lands, in accordance with Section 5.3.4 of the Urban Centres Secondary Plan. In planning for future growth and expansion, the proposed Master Plan will guide the future long-term development of the lands surrounding the Upper Canada Mall. While the Upper Canada Mall will continue to exist as planned, this Master Plan proposes to add, in phases, mixed use land uses of varying densities and heights, approximately 5,100 residential units, 9,700 square meters of non-residential Gross Floor Area, a new road system, approximately 4,500 parking spaces above/below ground and approximately 1.8 hectares of new public parks.

The Clerk noted that in accordance with the Planning Act, the Ontario Land Tribunal may dismiss an appeal to the Tribunal, without holding a hearing, if the appellant failed to make either oral submissions at the public meeting or provide written submissions to Council prior to adoption of the application.

The Clerk thanked residents for their participation and interest in the meeting.
