The Ontario Land Tribunal issued its Final Order effective August 12, 2022, which approved a zoning by-law amendment that reflects the settlement. A Section 37 Agreement has not yet been registered on title to the site. There have been ongoing discussions between the Applicant and the City about the Section 37 community benefit, and recently an agreement has been reaching with respect to another option for this benefit. The Applicant will convey the three properties at 60, 62, and 64 Soudan Avenue to the City on or before September 30, 2025 for parkland purposes. The Applicant will: 1) demolish the houses on these three properties, at their own expense, 2) conduct the required environmental assessments on these three properties, at their own expense, to the City's satisfaction, and 3) convey these three properties in base park conditions, at their own expense. The Applicant will also convey the two properties at 66 and 68 Soudan Avenue to the City on or before September 30, 2025 for parkland purposes in fulfillment of its parkland dedication requirement. This Motion is urgent as the City must finalize the Section 37 Agreement and registered it on title in order for the Applicant to pull a building permit and move forward with the development of this site.
