Summary
In March of 2022, the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Parc Downsview Park (a subsidiary of Canada Lands Company Ltd.) and Northcrest Developments to resource a dedicated City staff team to advance amendments to the Downsview Secondary Plan. This team will be bringing forward a suite of deliverables to City Council in May of this year. Moving forward there continues to be a robust work plan required to advance the planning of the Downsview area. This includes master planning for 15 District Plans, the initiation and implementation of Phases 3 and 4 of an extensive Environmental Assessment, detailed design work for various large-scale infrastructure elements and continued public consultation on the numerous applications within the Downsview area.
Northcrest Developments and Canada Lands Company have agreed to continued funding of a dedicated team to carry on this work. This report requests authorization for the City to enter into the necessary agreements to facilitate the continued resourcing.
