Committee Recommendations
The Executive Committee recommends that:
1. City Council adopt the confidential instructions to staff in Attachment 1 of the report (June 13, 2016) from the City Solicitor.

Origin
Summary
St. Michael's Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Children are concerned that potential development and associated construction could interfere with the flight paths for their respective heliports. The Province has issued a Minister's Zoning Order that regulates development within these flight paths, but it will expire at the end of September 2017. The City must contemplate the most effective approach towards regulating development within proximity to these hospitals.
The City Solicitor requires further directions.
