This last minute addition to the agenda for the December 9th Council Meeting included reports from various City departments and York Regional staff.
The Director of Community Planning and Development Services for York Region provided a response back to City staff outlining concerns regarding the proposed towers citing site-specific intensification proposals being approved in advance of a completed Secondary Plan, especially given the remaining redevelopment potential for this area.
"Due to recent examples of significant density increases, the full build-out potential of this KDA is currently unknown. To assist in city building efforts, the full build-out population and job numbers are required to ensure adequate services are available, such as parks, community services, schools, roads, as well as water and wastewater capacity."
"In order to appropriately plan for intensification in KDA's, the Regional Official Plan requires Secondary Plans to also establish and implement a fine grid local street network and to plan to achieve a minimum of 35% of new housing to be affordable."
