Item - 2018.NY27.6

North York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council classify the lands municipally originally known as 80 Carl Hall Road, previously being subject to Plan of Subdivision Application No. 10 252415 NNY 09 SB, as a Class 4 Noise Area pursuant to Publication NPC-300 (MOECC Environmental Noise Guideline – Stationary and Transportation Sources – Approval and Planning) with the exception of Block K, the municipal park block, on the Block Key Plan for Stanley Greene as shown on Attachment 1 to the report (December 14, 2017) from the Director, Community Planning, North York District.

2. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning or her/his designate be directed to provide a copy of the City Council Decision Document to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) and Bombardier Aerospace.

This report recommends that City Council designate the development blocks the Stanley Greene District as a Class 4 Area under relevant provincial noise guidelines administered by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC).

A Class 4 Area designation allows for higher daytime and night-time sound level limits than would otherwise be permitted in relation to a noise sensitive land use such as residential dwellings and associated outdoor living areas.  The impact of such higher levels is mitigated by specified noise control measures.

An Environmental Noise Analysis prepared in support of the development within the Stanley Greene Subdivision lands confirm that the development blocks within the plan of subdivision can be appropriately considered for a Class 4 Area designation.

A Class 4 Area designation endorsed by City Council resolution will allow for existing industrial and manufacturing operations located east of the Stanley Greene District, including Bombardier Aerospace, to use this noise classification and sound level limits in applications for required provincial approvals including operating certificates.
