As the city filed it

On March 26, 2025, City Council instructed the City Solicitor to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal in support of Revised Plans filed by the applicant on January 2, 2025. City Council also instructed the City Solicitor to request that the Ontario Land Tribunal withhold its Order until the City Solicitor has advised that ten conditions have been fulfilled. The final condition that staff had recommended, and that City Council adopted, is that "the owner and the City have made satisfactory arrangements to release the easement over the western portion of the site […]." This condition was added inadvertently and should be removed.

The condition was appropriate in the context of negotiations with the applicant for a possible community space, which might have involved the release of the easement as a part of the deal for the community space. However, negotiations with the applicant on this point never materialized into a settlement offer, and so the condition is now unnecessary.
