13. CONTROLLING GROUND FLOOR OFFICE USES
IN MARKHAM VILLAGE –
COMMERCIAL CORE AREA (10.5, 16.11)
Report
Jim Baird, Commissioner of
Development Services, explained the three options available to control ground
floor office uses in Markham Village, in response to the Committee’s directions
on January 23, 2017.
Option 1
That staff be directed to engage a retail consultant and undertake a
review of the impact of ground floor office space in the Markham Village
traditional commercial core area; and,
That Council enact the draft interim control by-law attached as
Appendix ‘C’ to this report.
Option 2
That staff be directed to draft a City-initiated amendment to the
existing zoning by-law to restrict or limit ground floor office uses in C1, C2
and C3 zones of By-law 1229, as amended, and arrange a statutory public meeting
to explain the by-law and to solicit public input.
Option 3
That staff and consultants be directed to examine the issue of ground
floor office space in the traditional commercial core area of Markham Village
as part of the new Markham Village Heritage Centre Secondary Plan and any
zoning changes be considered as part of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law
Project.

market determination. It was noted that the Markham BIA has indicated a preference
for the review. Staff suggested that Option 3 would allow the current secondary plan
and zoning projects to review the issue in a comprehensive manner and with
public input.
