Origin
Summary
At its August 25th, 2014 meeting, City Council considered a report titled "Phase 1 Status Report-City Initiated Humbertown Secondary Plan Study."
The Planning staff report presented for the consideration of Etobicoke York Community Council provided two recommendations. Recommendation A and B. Planning staff recommended that Etobicoke York Community Council adopt Recommendation A.
Recommendation A directed Planning staff to prepare a Site and Area Specific Policy, which would have resulted in City Planning staff completing this study.
Recommendation B directed Planning staff to prepare and issue a Request for Proposals to select an external consultant to undertake the second phase of the review and to prepare a Site and Area Specific Policy.
By adopting Recommendation B, City Council did not support the staff recommendation. This motion recommends that Council revert back to the Site and Area Specific Policy Review (SASP) for the area.
