North York Community Council directed that:

1.  City Planning staff schedule a community consultation meeting for the lands at 1755 Steeles Avenue West together with the Ward Councillor.

2.  City Planning staff give notice for the community consultation meeting to landowners and residents within 120 metres of the site, and that the notice area of the community consultation meeting be extended to include, in addition to the 120 metre radius notice area, all landowners and residents residing in the area bounded by all the lots which abut the north side of Steeles Avenue West, Dufferin Street to the west of the site, G. Ross Lord Park to the south of the site, and G. Ross Lord Park and Carnival Court to the east of the site; and that the applicant pay the City for the costs associated with extending the notice area.

3.  City Clerk's staff give notice for the public meeting under the Planning Act according to the regulations of the Planning Act.

This application proposes to amend the zoning by-law to permit a new 15,400 square metre manufacturing and office building at 1755 Steeles Avenue West outside of the permitted building envelopes. To allow the proposed building, the application also proposes to remove the holding provision with respect to the infrastructure required to service the site.

This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted applications and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the applications and on the community consultation process.

This report recommends that a community consultation meeting be held to present the proposal to the public and obtain public input.

A Final Report and a Public Meeting under the Planning Act will be scheduled following community consultation and resolution of the outstanding issues identified in this report.
