The Division Head, Corporate Projects & Policy provided and overview of his meeting
today with representatives of the Province and other stakeholders respecting the
Seaton lands. He noted that the Province intends to get involved in the implementation
of OPA #13, with mutually agreeable modifications and only on the Seaton side, by its
adoption through the Ontario Planning & Development Act. The City and the Province
are very close on most issues, such as density, however, some issues, such as a
residential designation in the Whitevale area are still under discussion. The City wants
to ensure that there are full services up to the employment lands in the early stages of
development of the Seaton lands. In response to a question from Councillor Johnson,
the Division Head, Corporate Projects & Policy will review the implications of residents
who will be displaced as a result of development of the Seaton lands and heritage
homes that may be lost.
