This item was discussed under item 7.1.

• RESOLUTION 0010-2022
  Moved By Councillor D. Damerla
  Seconded By Mayor Crombie

  WHEREAS Trillium Health Partners (THP) cares for more patients than any other hospital in Ontario with seven times more acute patients served than the average hospital; and 

  WHEREAS no hospital has experienced more growth in the patient population served than THP in the entire province; and

  WHEREAS no hospital will face greater growth than THP with demand for services projected to double over the next 20 years; and

  WHEREAS THP and the Government of Ontario announced a historic health infrastructure investment plan to respond to the community’s needs including a new Mississauga Hospital and expanded Queensway Health Centre; and 

  WHEREAS THP has made a proposal for the redevelopment of the Mississauga Hospital site located at 100 Queensway West at the southwest corner of Queensway West and Hurontario Street; and

  WHEREAS this redevelopment will include the full replacement of the existing Mississauga hospital, creating a new 22-storey hospital tower on the existing hospital site; and

  WHEREAS the new Mississauga Hospital will provide a modern health care facility with over 950 beds to address the growing and changing health care needs of the community; and  

  WHEREAS THP and the City recognize this as a generational opportunity to build a modern landmark facility that will establish a strong urban presence and a gateway into the City’s Downtown area; and

  WHEREAS the site of the proposed development fronts onto the future Light Rail Transit (LRT) corridor along Hurontario Street and is in the immediate vicinity of a proposed new LRT station; and

  WHEREAS the proposed development supports the vision of the Hurontario/Main Street Corridor Master Plan for a high-density, pedestrian and transit-friendly Hurontario Street corridor; and

  WHEREAS THP has consulted with City staff on the proposed design to ensure the proposal is consistent with Mississauga Official Plan policies; and

  WHEREAS THP has consulted with Credit Valley Conservation Authority (CVCA) to ensure the proposal is consistent with their policies and regulations; and

  WHEREAS an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment that are required to permit this project could take in excess of 12 months, which would place this project at risk of not meeting critical deadlines to bring much needed health care services to the community; and

  WHEREAS granting an Enhanced Minister’s Zoning Order (EMZO) would be consistent with the policies of the Mississauga Official Plan (MOP); and

  WHEREAS while Site Plan Control is included in the EMZO request, the City will have the opportunity to review the proposed design and compatibility with the existing and planned surrounding developments; and

  WHEREAS THP has also committed to undertake ongoing public consultation upon approval of the EMZO; and

  WHEREAS the City Corporate Report approved by Council on February 3, 2021 recommended that the Province should use an MZO “only when it will provide public benefits including affordable housing, public health improvements and significant job creation”; and
