Origin
Summary
On November 12, 2025, City Council directed staff to report back on options and legislative tools, including the use of holding provisions, available to the City to support the development of Humber Bay Shores as a complete community with access to higher order transit.
As part of the Christie’s Secondary Plan process, the City completed a review of community services and facilities and identified the need for a community recreation centre, library, childcare, community agency space, and new schools to address both current shortfalls and needs generated by future growth. The Secondary Plan and implementing Zoning By-law require these facilities and the GO Station, with delivery to be provided at different phases of the Christie's development according to the Section 37 and holding provisions in the by-law.
The Park Lawn GO Station is a planned transit station on the Lakeshore West GO line, between Mimico and Exhibition GO stations, intended to support future intensification within the Christie's redevelopment area and Humber Bay Shores.
The development application has been paused by the applicant. At the time of the writing of this report, the implementing Section 37 community benefits agreement, has not been signed by the owner of the site
