10. INFORMATION REPORT
APPLICATION BY LINDVEST
PROPERTIES (CORNELL) LIMITED
TO PERMIT A RETAIL COMMERCIAL
CENTRE AT THE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 7
AND BUR OAK AVENUE
IN CORNELL CENTRE
FILE NUMBERS: OP/ZA/SC 13
126638 (10.6, 10.3, 10.5)
Report
Patricia Foran of Aird & Berlis, and Tony Volpentesta of Bousfields
Inc., representing Lindvest Properties, gave a presentation to explain the status
of the commercial retail block in Cornell Centre. They reviewed a revised site
plan and the proposed technical amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning
By-law to facilitate the mixed-use proposal. The applicant supports the staff
recommendation in general; however, Ms. Foran requested that Clause 3 be
deleted with respect to the public road, as they would prefer the road remain
private, and that items 1(g), TRCA clearance letter; and 2(c), buffer for
woodlot, be deleted from the conditions in Appendix A.
In response to
questions from the Committee, the presenters identified the parking areas for
the big block retail site. Discussions included the woodlot buffer, TRCA
approvals, wildlife corridor, water run-off to the wetlands, sustainability
measures, provision of open space, and the futre Viva Transit Terminal. Ms.
Foran confirmed that the entire project will be built simultaneously, but the
approvals are being phased, and that if the transit terminal does not proceed,
the lands would be developed with retail uses. As this is a key site, the
Committee directed that the applicant ensure a “front door” presence along
Highway 7.
Staff advised that this report provides background information for the Public
Meeting scheduled for this evening and also recommends that site plan approval
of the proposed commercial retail centre be delegated to staff.
Discussions involved TRCA approvals that have been previously given,
and the current approval requirement for revisions to the plan. Committee did
not agree to the removal of this condition, as it is a standard condition of
planning approval. The Committee considered putting a time limit on the TRCA response
and if a response was not received by June 30, 2014, the Mayor would initiate a
meeting with the applicant, TRCA and staff to resolve the issues.
With respect to Clause 3, the Committee directed that the Official Plan
Amendment include provisions to secure a public east/west road through the site
at the time these lands are redeveloped in the future. Staff advised of
requirements for traffic signals at both ends of the road, and a road base that
meets the City’s standards, and will work with the applicant in this regard.
The Committee
agreed to approve the site plan application in principle, with a final review
and approval by Development Services Committee at a later date.
Moved by: Councillor Colin Campbell
Seconded by: Regional Councillor Gord Landon
1) That the staff report dated June 17, 2014, entitled
“Information Report, Application by Lindvest Properties (Cornell) Limited to
permit a retail commercial centre at the southeast corner of Highway 7 and Bur
Oak Avenue in Cornell Centre, File Numbers: OP/ZA/SC 13-126638” be received as
background to the public meeting scheduled for the evening of June 17, 2014;
and,
2) That the site plan application (SC 13 126638) submitted by
Lindvest Properties (Cornell) Limited to permit a commercial retail centre on

for final approval when the conditions outlined in Appendix ‘A’ have
been resolved, to the satisfaction of the City; and,
3) That City staff work with Lindvest Properties (Cornell)
Limited to provide a public east/west road within the property
boundary at the time the lands (Block 4, 19TM-06012) are redeveloped in the
long term; and,
4) That if a response is not
received from TRCA by June 30, 2014 with respect to Appendix A item 1(g), the

directions on this matter. If endorsed by Council, it will go to the Region for
approval.

the businesses in the area, had questions regarding the relationship of this
application and the detailed study recently endorsed by Council, with respect
to coordinating road patterns, compatible density, transit options, and other
issues. Staff discussed the broad study and work program, and the framework of
the Official Plan, and advised that new initiatives would be processed separately.
The Committee discussed the potential impact of the study on industrial uses.
Robert Mintzberg, property
owner adjacent to the subject site, and representing his neighbours as well,
referred to the blocks to be conveyed to abutting property owners and requested
that the City ensure this buffer is conveyed by adding it as a condition to the
Hold provision. The City Solicitor advised that the condition would be appropriate.
Willem Tiemersma spoke of his concerns that a buffer
zone is needed between residential and business uses, and of safety issues at
the John Street intersection. Mr. Tiemersma suggested that the public is not
being provided with sufficient information.
Brian Magee read a
letter from Granit Real Estate, with concerns regarding land disputes arising from
existing businesses and surrounding residences, and suggesting that this
proposal is contrary to recent Council endorsement of an area study. The
Committee provided clarification that the Canac site is included in study area.
Sam Balsamo,
representing the applicant, Condor Properties, discussed the transparency of
the Shining Hill application, the lengthy process to date, and the need for a
transition buffer. Mr. Balsamo responded to concerns raised and advised that housing
and road patterns would be compatible to the neighbourhood and suggested this
proposal will be a catalyst for overall redevelopment. The applicant supports
the staff recommendations.
The Committee
directed the applicant to ensure purchasers are made aware of nearby industrial
uses and noise, and Mr. Balsamo agreed to add the provision of warning clauses
as a condition.
