The City of Mississauga has rejected an extensive residential development proposed for the southeast quadrant of Hurontario Street and Eglinton Avenue East. realestate realestatenews mississauga
Chris Rouse, Director of Development and Design for City of Mississauga tells STOREYS that although City staff are “supportive of residential intensification and tall buildings” on the site in question, the current proposal table leaves too many critical questions unanswered.
Although Elia has declined to comment to media on the matter, a spokesperson for Bousfields says that the decision to preemptively appeal to the OLT was an attempt to coax the process along. Moreover, doing so was well within Elia’s rights. “Planning policy and land use planning, including the matter of school sites, is not black and white, it is a matter of degrees and balancing various objectives. Elia and the City have a disagreement on whether the proposed development meets the built form policies in the Mississauga Official Plan or not. Those policies also need to be applied in light of higher, provincial policies and principles of good planning. The answers to these questions are the very matter for the OLT to decide.
“Their concerns were, if there’s going to be this much development proposed and potentially accepted, how will it affect the local road network? How will it add to the traffic flow and congestion? Would there be adequate infrastructure in place, or to be added later by the City or the Region of Peel, to support like such intensification in one area?” says Kovac. “The developer had also indicated no prior consultation done with either the [Catholic or public] school boards.
