Origin

(August 23, 2013) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Etobicoke York District

Summary

When considering the proposed redevelopment of the Humbertown Shopping Centre on June 11, 2013, City Council directed "the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to initiate a Secondary Plan process covering all of the mixed use and apartment neighbourhood lands in the vicinity of the Humbertown Shopping Centre, and a further report be submitted by Planning staff to the September 10, 2013 meeting of the Etobicoke York Community Council setting out a work plan, budget, and schedule for completing such a review."

 

The purpose of this report is to advise Etobicoke York Community Council on the process, requirements and timelines regarding this initiative.  As directed by City Council, the potential Humbertown Secondary Plan Area would generally encompass lands on the west side of Royal York Road from Lambeth Road to north of Anglesey Boulevard, along Royal York Court and along Dundas Street West east of Royal York Road (see Attachment 2).
