Submitted By: Jeff Willmer, Director of Planning (741 -2325)

Ward(s) Involved: Ward 6
Date of Report: April 5, 2006
Report No.: DTS -06 -069
Subject: Direction to Proceed with Development Applications
Weber Supply Inc. Lands
675 Queen Street and 48 Woodside Avenue
RECOMMENDATION:
That staff proceed with initiating development applications (City- initiated Zone Change and
potential Municipal Plan Amendment), on lands owned by Weber Supply Inc. and municipally
known as 675 Queen Street and 48 Woodside Avenue, with the intent to permit certain
commercial uses such as 100% office and additional retail and potentially change certain
existing industrial uses.
REPORT:
The subject lands are located on Queen Street between Woodside Avenue and the Iron Horse
Trail within the Mill- Courtland Woodside Park Neighbourhood. The lands are owned by Weber
Supply Inc and are currently designated General Industrial in the Secondary Plan for the area
and zoned General Industrial. This is an area of transition in land use, especially considering
the proposed townhouse development at 52 and 90 Woodiside Avenue, and the City would like
to address compatibility with the surrounding area. In this regard, it would be advisable towards
transitioning the Weber Supply lands towards permitting more commercial land uses such as
100% office or additional retail. Options could include the addition of special uses or regulations
to the existing zoning or potentially including the lands within the adjacent Mixed Use Corridor
on Queen Street. The subject report proposes that staff proceed with initiating the applications
on the Weber Supply lands. Staff have been corresponding with the owner of the Weber Supply
lands who supports this general direction.
CONCLUSION:
Staff support proceeding with considering new land uses on the Weber Supply lands.
