Staff are currently reviewing the applications. They have been circulated to all appropriate agencies and City divisions for comment. Review of the applications will also be informed by the Keele-St. Clair Local Area Study (the "KSC LAS") and the property acquisition process for the future St. Clair-Old Weston SmartTrack station. The KSC LAS contemplates land use changes that are, in part, supported by the future SmartTrack station. Without the station and the related multi-modal transportation investments, the contemplated changes to the permitted land uses would not be considered appropriate within this area. Staff will proceed to schedule a community consultation meeting for the application with the Ward Councillor.
