We are the planning…

We are the planning consultants for Dufferin Business Centre Inc., the owner of the lands municipally known as 2700 Dufferin Street in the City of Toronto.

We are writing to request that 2700 Dufferin Street be redesignated from its current General Employment Areas land use designation within the Toronto Official Plan to Mixed Use Areas, as part of the Ministry’s review of City of Toronto Official Plan Amendment No. 644 (“OPA 644”). Accordingly, we are writing to request that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing modify OPA 644 as follows:

1. Remove the Employment Areas identification from the subject site in the modified Map 2, Urban Structure in OPA 644.
2. Revise the Table in Section B) of OPA 644 to add the lands municipally known as 2700 Dufferin Street and redesignate the lands to Mixed Use Areas.
3. Introduce a Site and Area Specific Policy with respect to the subject site, as outlined in the planning letter attached.
