City Staff prepared this request for directions report in order to have City Council approval for their positions in the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal (LPAT) case with the developers of 900 Dufferin Street (the Dufferin Mall site). I am working closely with the community to help inform City Planning’s position on these matters. Subsequent to our public meeting in February, I convened our Working Group and we recently had our initial meeting. With this report and the additional direction we will receive from the Working Group, we will have a strong position to ensure community needs are addressed.
