On the agenda

As the city filed it

There has been community and City-wide concern expressed over the potential impact of the 78-90 Queen's Park application on the cultural heritage landscape of Queen's Park. At the advice of Toronto Preservation Board, Community Council was advised to refer the report until there was time to fully consider heritage impacts of the application. At Toronto and East York Community Council, I moved to refer the final report for 78-90 Queen's Park Crescent back to Community Planning until a comprehensive study of the Queen's Park cultural heritage landscape could be completed.

Based on this Motion, Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the Final Report. The applicant then appealed the rezoning and site plan applications for non-decision. The purpose of this Motion is to provide staff direction for the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal appeal and is urgent because the first hearing for this file is scheduled for March 3, 2021.
