Staff at the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) have received a Notice of Public Meeting in relation to the application captioned above from the City Clerk. We have now had an opportunity to review the notice and wish to provide you with the following comments. We understand that the purpose of the application is to amend the zoning by-law in force for the subject lands. It is further understood that the present'W-1 r Warehouse zoning is to be changed to add industrial and limited commercial uses for the subject lands. Based upon our review of the subject lands and the surrounding area, we advise that there are no significant environmental features of concern to the TRCA on the subject lands, In addition, the subject lands are not within a Regulated Area pursuant to Ontario Regulation 166/06 (TRCA Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses), A permit would therefore not be required prior to any development taking place on the subject lands. Given the comments above, we have no objection to the approval of the application. We trust that this is of assistance, Please contact the undersigned if you have any questions regarding this letter. Yours truly, Chris Jones, B.U,R.PI.
