As the city filed it

87 Ethel Avenue Holdings Ltd. (the "Appellant") is a party to an appeal to Official Plan Amendment 231 ("OPA 231") to the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT") regarding the property municipally known as 87 Ethel Avenue (the "Lands"). City Council adopted OPA 231 in 2013 following the Five-Year Official Plan and Municipal Comprehensive Reviews regarding employment lands. OPA 231 re-designates the Lands as Core Employment Areas and the Appellant seeks the Mixed Use Areas designation. The City Solicitor requires further directions.

The City Solicitor recommends that: 1. City Council adopt the confidential instructions to staff in Confidential Attachment 1. 2. If the confidential instructions in Confidential Attachment 1 are adopted, City Council authorize the public release of the recommendations contained in the Confidential Attachment 1, with the remainder of Confidential Attachment 1 and Confidential Attachment 2 to remain confidential as it contains advice subject to solicitor-client privilege.
