Recorded votes on C2017-0003

That with respect to Report C2017-0003, the following be adopted: WHEREAS, the public hearing for the redevelopment of the Highland Park golf course (C2017-0003 and LOC2014-0190) revealed a gap between results of the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Charette and the administrative review of a specific land use application; and WHEREAS, the competing visions of the community and the developer have not been well reconciled in the final resulting land use recommendations, which do not adequately reflect the benefits of the TOD Charette; and WHEREAS, more specifically, the buffer has been favoured over the objectives of integrated TOD planning including the minimization of surface parking, minimization of building heights, minimization of required fill, use of slope adaptive design, and maximization of high quality public open space; and WHEREAS, a better result may have been achieved had a planning exercise such as an area redevelopment plan had been in place or such work undertaken; and WHEREAS, this is a part of the City that would greatly benefit from a long overdue planning review; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Administration be directed to consider a Highland Park Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) and subsequent city-initiated land use redesignations and report back to Council with a proposed work schedule in 2017 June on the North Green Line, such ARP and land use redesignations to be completed before or concurrent with the conclusion of the Highland Village Green storm water study.
