Summary
This report provides a status update on the seven Regeneration Area studies that resulted from City Council's decision on Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 231.
Regeneration Areas are unique areas of the City that present an opportunity to attract investment, re-use buildings, encourage new construction and bring life to the streets. These areas are key to the Official Plan's population and employment growth strategy and offer the opportunity to reintegrate underutilized areas of the City. Each Regeneration Area requires a tailor-made planning framework to help guide future growth that is informed by community consultation and a detailed planning study.
In advance of a decision from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on OPA 231, City Planning staff initiated six of the seven Regeneration Area studies. Two studies are completed and are the subject of statutory public meetings before Planning and Growth Management Committee at its meeting on August 7, 2014. Staff are targeting the completion of the remaining initiated studies and reporting out on these studies in the first half of 2015.
