Conveyance of Parkland - 35, 41, 63, 65 and 95 High Park Avenue and 66 and 102-116 Pacific Avenue - by Councillor Gord Perks, seconded by Councillor Ausma Malik

However, the Owner is not yet ready to convey the parkland, because the waste management method currently in place for the nearly one thousand rental units on the Site is partially located on the parkland, and would be disrupted by the requirement to remove it to convey the parkland to the City. Delaying the conveyance of the parkland will allow minimal disruption and inconvenience to tenants of the dwelling units on the Site, and ensure the safety of operations staff, while allowing the Owner to proceed with construction of Tower A. The public interest is served by allowing the Owner to construct Tower A, prior to the conveyance of the parkland, because the proposed development will deliver 37 new rental residential dwelling units at affordable rents, some of which will be located within Tower A. Allowing construction to proceed will allow for the timely delivery of those new affordable dwelling units. Moreover, if the issuance of an Above Grade Building Permit is delayed, the conveyance of the park may also be delayed beyond the date set out in Recommendation 1.d below. The Section 37 Agreement for this development has not yet been finalized or registered, and as such, an Amending Agreement is not required, only revised instructions to staff in respect of the Section 37 Agreement that remains under negotiation.
