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

This application proposes to amend the Agincourt Secondary Plan to permit the redevelopment of the Agincourt Mall lands (3850 and 3900 Sheppard Avenue East and 2350-2362 Kennedy Road) with a mix of uses including residential, retail, office, community facility space and a new public park. Specifically, the Master Plan envisions 406,000 square metres of residential uses (5,000 dwelling units), 23,700 square metres of retail uses, 8,500 square metres of office resulting in an overall site density of 4.2. Also proposed are new public streets and development blocks and a new 8,416 m2 public park.  

This report provides preliminary information on the above-noted application and seeks Community Council's directions on further processing of the application and on the community consultation process. Given the magnitude of the application, Staff have recommended a more extensive consultation process that will inform the planning and design for the site.

A final report will be prepared and a public meeting scheduled on the application once all identified issues have been satisfactorily resolved and all required information is provided.
