As the city filed it

On May 21 and 22, 2025, a Request for Directions Report was adopted by City Council, accepting the applicant's Settlement Offer dated May 2, 2025 and authorizing the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing in support of the Settlement Offer and Revised Plans. The Request for Direction Report can be found at the following link: https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2025.CC30.8 It has since come to City staff's attention that the address of the location of the proposed off-site parkland dedication listed in the Solicitor's Report and recommendations was incorrect and should be corrected.

The report and recommendations referenced 161 Vanderhoof Avenue, whereas they should have referenced 131 Vanderhoof Avenue, which is the correct location of the proposed off-site parkland dedication, adjacent to Leonard Linton Park. Staff have also advised that a pre-condition to the issuance of the Ontario Land Tribunal's order was inadvertently omitted. The applicant/appellant has an outstanding appeal of Official Plan Amendment 450 (Laird in Focus - SASP 568, Ontario Land Tribunal Hearing Case PL200376), which has been scoped to specific policies and addresses, and should be withdrawn in connection with the approval of their site-specific applications. This motion is urgent as it is required to correct errors in the original recommendations for Item CC30.8 pertaining to the settlement for the development at 943-963 Eglinton Avenue East and 23 Brentcliffe Road. REQUIRES RE-OPENING: City Council item 2025.CC30.8 (May 21 and 22, 2025, City Council meeting), as it relates to the address of the off-site parkland dedication being secured, and pre-conditions to final order.
