As the city filed it

This report recommends that City Council classify 257, 259 and 291 Lake Shore Boulevard East, 2 Small Street and 200 Queens Quay East, identified as Quayside Blocks 1A, 1B, 1C, and 2 (the "Site") as a Class 4 Noise Area under the Environmental Noise Guideline, Stationary an Transportation Sources - Approval and Planning (Publication NPC-300) administered by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). A Class 4 classification allows for higher sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas.

The impacts of such higher levels would be mitigated by the implementation of noise control measures as part of site plan approval that are required as a condition to lift the holding provision and for development to proceed. A Noise and Vibration Assessment for Quayside Block 1A, and a Draft Noise and Vibration Impact Study for Quayside Blocks 1B, 1C, and 2, were prepared by RWDI in support of the proposed development at the Site. The City retained a peer reviewer, Arcadis Professional Services (Canada) Inc., to review the studies. RWDI and Arcadis conclude that a Class 4 classification of the Site is appropriate to ensure regulatory compliance for Redpath Sugar at 95 Queens Quay East and Amrize (formerly Lafarge Canada) at 54 Polson Street.
