On the agenda

As the city filed it

West Park Healthcare Centre, a public rehabilitation hospital at 82 Buttonwood Avenue, has recently redeveloped their campus and opened a new main hospital building. The Ministry of Health has requested that the former hospital building, including an associated central utility plant, be retained and remain in use for a temporary period. A Temporary Use Zoning By-law to allow the use of the former hospital buildings is required because the existing zoning regulations contemplate that, following construction, existing buildings would be demolished and only the new main hospital building and the existing long-term care facility would remain in the associated zoning block.

The existing zoning also imposes restrictions within valley and buffer lands. This report recommends approval of the application for a Temporary Use Zoning By-law to permit the use of the former hospital building and associated central utility plant at the West Park Healthcare Centre as a temporary use for a period of three years. The Temporary Use Zoning By-law also provides for additional parking and a new maintenance garage to be accommodated on a temporary basis within identified areas.
