Summary

On March 2, 2011, Official Plan Amendment No. 587 to the former City of North York Official Plan and Zoning By-law No. 342-2011(OMB) were approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) now continued as the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). The planning instruments implement City Council's settlement on the redevelopment of the southern portion of the Don Mills Centre lands (Phase 2) with a mixed development including a local park and a public community centre.

 

Also in 2011 a Section 37 agreement was entered into between the owner of the lands, C/F Realty Holdings Limited (Cadillac Fairview) and the City (the "Section 37 Agreement").  As envisioned by the Section 37 Agreement, the deadline for certain key events has been extended by the parties on several occasions (see Item CC31.14, adopted by City Council on July 4, 5, 6 and 7, 2017 and Item CC5.8, adopted by City Council on March 27 and 28, 2019).

 

Certain key deadlines set out in the Section 37 Agreement will expire on October 30, 2020.
