Employment Land and Office Market Analysis and Next Steps

Melissa Slupik, Lead of Planning Innovation, presented an overview of the Employment Land and Office Market Analysis, highlighting conversion challenges, next steps, the Downtown Community Improvement Plan (DCIP),  manufacturing uses, office retention, and the key test for land-use conversions.

In response to Councillor Dasko's enquiry about potential impacts around city centre, staff noted the DCIP could allow for flexibility through tiered systems and incentives, rather than a uniform approach.

Councillor Horneck supported the direction and asked that more detailed recommendations be brought back.

Councillor Tedjo, Vice Chair expressed concerns about limited employment use conflicting with Major Transit Station Area (MTSA) employment lands, and noted the need to assess conversions against provincial criteria and ensure a high-quality living environment.

  • RECOMMENDATIONPDC-0018-2025
    Moved ByCouncillor J. Horneck
    1. That staff be authorized to study additional incentives for inclusion in the Downtown Community Improvement Plan and to consider a geographic expansion of the associated Community Improvement Project Area beyond the Downtown Core to include additional mixed-use areas along the Hurontario light rail transit corridor.
    2. That staff be directed to explore ways to encourage employment growth through pre-zoning more manufacturing uses and reviewing office retention policies.
    3. That the City Clerk forward the report tilted “Employment Land and Office Market Analysis and Next Steps” dated May 7, 2025, from the Commissioner of Planning and Building to the Region of Peel and that they be encouraged to match the City of Mississauga’s future Downtown Community Improvement Plan amendments.
