On the agenda

As the city filed it

This Report recommends that City Council classify the lands at 3140, 3150 and 3170 Dufferin Street and 60 and 68 Apex Road as a Class 4 Area under relevant provincial noise guidelines administered by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) to implement an approved mixed use development comprised of two buildings with four residential towers and non-residential space at-grade. A Class 4 Area classification allows for higher daytime and nighttime sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a noise sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas.

The impact of such higher levels is mitigated by specified noise control measures. A Noise and Vibration Impact Study prepared in support of the development of the lands at 3140, 3150 and 3170 Dufferin Street and 60 and 68 Apex Road confirms that the development can be appropriately considered for a Class 4 Area classification. This Study has been peer reviewed by a consultant retained on behalf of the City, who agrees that this site is a candidate for Class 4 Area classification. A Class 4 Area classification endorsed by City Council resolution would allow for existing industrial or commercial operations close to the subject site to use this noise classification and sound level limits in applications for required provincial approvals including operation certificates.
