A copy of the Request for Directions Report can be found at the following link: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2014/mm/bgrd/backgroundfile-69146.pdf This report seeks further direction and provides advice regarding the lands located at 162 Queens Quay East, as approved by Council on May 6, 2014 (MM51.46), and as set out in subsequent Minutes of Settlement dated May 12, 2014. Since the 2014 Minutes of Settlement were executed by the parties, issues relating to the appeals by the owners of the adjacent FedEx lands (215 Lake Shore Boulevard East and 178-180 Queens Quay) have been resolved, and Local Planning Appeal Tribunal ("LPAT") Orders for the FedEx lands were issued on October 23, 2018. A site plan approval application (2019 128893 STE 10 SA) is currently under review for the development at 162 Queens Quay East. Through the detailed review of the development proposal, staff have identified improvements to its built form that would better align and be consistent with the adjacent FedEx lands development with respect to the street wall height and the taking of lands for a new east-west public road through the development block. This report seeks further direction on proposed revisions to the terms of the Minutes of Settlement related to 162 Queens Quay East, as outlined in Confidential Attachment 1 to this report.
