The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

3.            No further public notice of the proposed changes to the draft Official Plan and Zoning by-law amendments is required, pursuant to the Planning Act.

At its meeting of October 26 and 27, 2009, City Council adopted the Final Report that recommended approval of a mixed-use residential commercial development at 2157 Lake Shore Boulevard West.  The report addressed the need to finalize the Section 37 contributions and cash-in-lieu payments as the parkland dedication appraisal had not been completed at the time of the report.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.

The City Planning Division recommends that:

1.             Staff  be directed to schedule a community consultation meeting, together with the Ward Councillor, for the lands at 7, 11, 13, 15, 19, 21, 23, 25, 33, 35 and 45 Zorra Street.

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.
