Effects of consultation
All comments received were taken into consideration prior to a decision being made. The comments received as summarized below:
- A submission from Kingsett Capital (which has a controlling interest in 315 and 327 Royal York Road) fully supports the proposed revocation.
- An advisor to the court-appointed Receiver of 39 Newcastle Street, Osmington Gerofsky Development Corporation, indicated it is carefully reviewing the proposed revocation and seeks additional time to engage in meaningful and comprehensive discussions with all relevant stakeholders involved in the decision-making process, prior to the revocation.
- A board member for the Mimico Residents Association expressed support for the proposed revocation such that it will make it easier for a replacement project to advance similar to what was agreed to in the original Van Dyk agreement.
- Other submissions expressed concerns with:
- the use of MZOs for TOC
- the wasting of tax dollars,
- the appearance of limiting the ability to build housing on the property, and building on green space.

Original proposal
Why consultation isn't required

Although not required under the Environmental Bill of Rights Act, 1993, the Ministry is providing public notice of the request for a revocation through the Environmental Registry of Ontario.
