DELEGATIONS
Mr. Lebovic, West Hill Redevelopment Company Limited re: Zoning By-law
Amendment, Blocks E & F, Plan M-57: D14-06-93
Mr. Lebovic addressed Council's proposed third reading consideration of Bill No.
3580-94.D to permit the construction of residential units adjacent to the lands
owned by Maple Leaf Foods Inc. on Yonge Street. He noted that the original
provisions of the subdivision agreements for the residential lands to the east
required that the Ministry of Environment and Energy be satisfied with regard
to distance separation requirements before his lands could be developed for
residential uses. Mr. Lebovic pointed out that the proposed release of the
holding provisions of the Bill before Council this evening had added the
additional requirement that the lands be used for "non-industrial" purposes. He
pointed out that this could effectively freeze his lands if the Ministry of
Environment and Energy removed its distance separation requirements, but the
Maple Leaf lands continued in industrial uses. Accordingly, he asked Council
to remove this requirement from the proposed by-law. This request was
supported in argument by his Counsel, Mr. Rapoport. In response to questions
from Council, the Director of Planning pointed out that Maple Leaf Foods had
submitted correspondence to Council and indicated that Staff have concerns
that incompatible land uses could pose a problem in future if the industrial
designation remains on the Maple Leaf lands while the Lebovic lands are
developed for residential uses.
