On the agenda

As the city filed it

The owner of Newtonbrook Plaza made applications to permit the redevelopment of the 'Newtonbrook Plaza' lands at 5799 to 5915 Yonge St. to a mixed-use project. The owner appealed Council's failure to make a decision to the Ontario Municipal Board. The City and the owner settled the appeals at the City council meeting of July 7, 2015. One of the terms of the settlement was that the owner, at its own expense, would construct a community/social facility ("Centre"), including a day care, having an area of 3,232 m2.

Since the settlement, it has been determined that the size of the Centre is not large enough to make optimal use of the programs and functions in such a centre. Staff have had some discussion with the owner and they are amenable to entertaining an expansion of the facility.
