14b - Discussions to Locate the Replacement Don Mills Civitan Arena at Celestica
Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to provide information about the meetings between City staff and representatives of Celestica regarding the possibility of locating the replacement Civitan Arena on the Celestica site. Government Management Committee directed City staff to meet and report on those meetings.
Celestica representatives have discussed possible concepts showing that a new 2-pad arena could be accommodated on the Celestica Site. Celestica is in the early years of a multi-year planning process where they wish to redesignate their Official Plan land use designation from Employment Areas to a Mixed Use Areas designation.
There is no certainty to the end results of this planning process and City Council on December 16, 2013 determined not to convert these employment lands to Mixed Use Areas as part of the City's Official Plan Review. The Official Plan review process is still underway as described in this report.
