City Council on November 9, 10 and 12, 2021, adopted the following:
1. City Council exempt the parcel of land within the development at 411 Victoria Park Avenue currently shown as Block 5 on the draft plan of subdivision application filed with the City as application no. 19 263636 ESC 20 SB required to be conveyed to the City for development of affordable rental housing (the “AR Lands”), from the application of Section 5.4.5.3 of the Policy for Accepting Potentially Contaminated Lands to be Conveyed to the City under the Planning Act (the “Policy”), such that the City will accept the conveyance of the AR Lands subject to a Certificate of Property Use, and develop the lands in accordance with the Certificate of Property Use at CreateTO's expense, or at the expense of a third party provider that is responsible for the construction, operation and maintenance of this block (the "AR Developer") in accordance with the agreement of purchase and sale between Build Toronto Holdings (Victoria Park) Inc. (“Build Toronto”) and the developer.
2. City Council authorize CreateTO to act on the City's behalf and on behalf of the AR Developer to assume all responsibility for the work required under the Certificate of Property Use.
3. City Council deem the Certificate of Property Use to be a permitted encumbrance against the AR Lands for the purposes of the conveyance required under the required Section 37 Agreement.
Background Information (City Council)
Motions (City Council)
That Councillor Crawford be permitted to add to the agenda of today's meeting an urgent Motion without Notice concerning:
Authority to Accept Development Block at 411 Victoria Park Avenue for Affordable Rental Housing
Reason for Urgency:
This Motion is urgent because the Section 37 Agreement approved by Council by way of SC25.1 on July 14, 15 and 16, 2021 cannot be executed – nor can the transfer of land to the City contemplated therein be completed - without this exemption. The Bills are at Council this meeting for matters already approved but cannot be passed unless the Motion moves forward.
