On the agenda

As the city filed it

The report recommends City Council classify the site at 933-935 The Queensway as a Class 4 Noise Area under Provincial Noise Guidelines (NPC-300) as administered by the Ministry of Environmental, Conservation and Parks (MECP). A Class 4 Noise Area classification allows for higher daytime and nighttime sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a noise sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas.

The impact of such higher levels is mitigated by specified noises control measures. A Noise and Vibration Impact Study and Land Use Compatibility/Mitigation Study (Air Quality and Noise) were prepared in support of the development (the "Studies"). A third party peer review of the Studies supports the recommendation for a classification of the site to Class 4 Noise Area (among other environmental mitigation requirements). The owner has agreed to all of the environmental mitigation requirements set out in the peer reviewers report, including the classification of the site to a Class 4 Noise Area. A Class 4 Noise Area classification would allow the existing commercial/industrial uses close to the subject site to rely on this noise classification and related sound level limits in applications for required provincial approvals including operating certificates.
