The confidential instructions to staff in Confidential Attachment 1 to the supplementary report (December 15, 2021) from the City Solicitor were adopted by City Council, and have been made public, the City Solicitor having exercised the City Solicitor's discretion to make them public:

1.  City Council accept the settlement offer attached as Confidential Appendix A to the supplementary report (December 15, 2021) from the City Solicitor (the "Settlement Offer"), substantially in the form and content of Confidential Appendix B to the supplementary report (December 15, 2021) from the City Solicitor and endorse the Context Plan in Confidential Appendix C to the supplementary report (December 15, 2021) from the City Solicitor (together, the "Revised Proposal") for the lands municipally known as 20 and 50 Ashtonbee Road, 1920 and 1940 Eglinton Avenue East and 880, 890 and 900 Warden Avenue (the "Development Site") and City Council direct the City Solicitor to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal to support the Revised Proposal, subject to Parts 2 to 5 below.

2.  In the event that the Ontario Land Tribunal allows the appeal in whole or in part, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to request the Ontario Land Tribunal to withhold the issuance of any Order(s) on the Official Plan Amendment until such time as the Ontario Land Tribunal has been advised by the City Solicitor that:

a.  the final content and form of the Official Plan Amendment is to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor, including any revisions to the maps and schedules to the Official Plan Amendment as may be necessary to implement the Settlement Offer;

b.  the Owner has agreed to resolve its appeal of Official Plan Amendment 499, including the Golden Mile Secondary Plan and not seek any party or participant status on the appeals, and that Official Plan Amendment 499 as adopted by City Council is brought into force as it applies to the Site, subject to any authorized changes as may be required as determined by the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor to implement this Settlement Offer for this Site, including, but not limited to, minimizing duplicative/repetitive policies, maps or references and, if deemed appropriate, incorporating the proposed SASP into Section 14 of the Secondary Plan, instead of Chapter 7, Site and Area Specific Policies of the Official Plan;

c.  Schedule 1 to Official Plan Amendment 499 (and on associated maps of Golden Mile Secondary Plan) has been updated by expanding the boundary of the Parks designation on the entire Site, to identify the second new Parks designation north of East-West Street #2, reducing the size of the Parks designation in Official Plan Amendment 499 and the remainder of the Development Site to remain Mixed Use Areas, so that the entire Development Site is re-designated from Mixed Use Areas to Parks and Mixed Use Areas; and

d.  the Owner has withdrawn its appeal of Official Plan Amendment 231 for the Development Site.

3.  Prior to attending the Ontario Land Tribunal on this matter, City Council direct that the Owner submit to the City a complete resubmission on the Official Plan Amendment application including updated reports, plans, drawings and materials satisfactory to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services, in consultation with the appropriate divisions.

4.  City Council direct that acceptance of this Settlement Offer is contingent upon the Owner providing satisfactory materials to address servicing capacity matters and infrastructure improvements either through a Master Servicing Study for the Golden Mile Area or through a Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report for the Property in coordination with the Master Servicing Study to support the proposed density in this Settlement Offer satisfactory to the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services.

5.  City Council authorize the City Solicitor and necessary City staff to take such necessary steps, as required, to implement City Council's decision.
