The CIHA request from the…

The CIHA request from the city of Vaughan was made without proper public consultation.
Some residents that heard about what the City was going to do showed up or wrote to city hall and spoke/wrote against the request. Council CIHA request was done without any merit. It was done with the lowest respect for the taxpayers. The area in question has significant residential area and has also high density residential and between. The property in question has:
1. Highway 400- West
2. Strip plaza - East
3. Strip plaza - North
4. Industrial buildings - South
This property can't have any planning merit for residential. The residents felt the same and they were reassured by the city planning department that the city would look after the taxpayers interest by making sure that anything approved would make planning sense.

Now, the residents, believe that the request made to treat the application as a MZO is a clear indication that the application had no planning merits and changing the approval from CIHA to MZO, which means there will be NO CONDITIONS, has confirmed the taxpayers believe.

The taxpayers also believe that a few members of council may have a potential pecuniary interest, but have not declared one. Because of the change, if the application will be approved, the fault will be with the Minister of Municipal Affairs, but the politician that made it happen, Vaughan Council, will be able to blame the Minister.

We believe that:
1. The Minister should refuse the application.
2. If the Minister sees any merit, he should ask Vaughan Council to make a decision.
The city of Vaughan has thousands of approved high density residential units that the builders are NOT
building, therefore there is no shortage of approved high density residential in Vaughan and in the
vicinity of this property.

Thank you for your consideration.
