The property is currently is zoned for commercial uses such as retail stores, restaurants, offices and overnight accommodation. The development requires an official plan and change the zoning by-law to proceed.

More information is needed on land-use compatibility, traffic, site access and servicing connections such as waste management, before staff can make a recommendation on the project, said Eleni Mermigas, city planner, at the Dec. 8 Planning and Development Committee meeting.

Ward 8 Coun. Matt Mahoney said he had concerns about more traffic in the area.

“Winston Churchill and Dundas, as many people will know, is an extremely busy intersection,” Mahoney said at the meeting. “I think there are still some issues there that still need to be resolved.”

The committee agreed and voted to send the proposal back to staff for further work with the developer.
