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

    WHEREAS an EMZO in this case would provide a clear public benefit, shortening a process to meet critical deadlines without changing the probable outcome – a process for which EMZOs were intended; 

    THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

    That a Council request for an Enhanced Minister’s Zoning Order (EMZO) be prepared by staff, based on the rationale provided in this motion, in support of the Trillium Health Partners’ broader redevelopment project for the Mississauga Hospital and that it be forwarded to The Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and copied to The Honourable Christine Elliott, Minister of Health, and The Honourable Paul Calandra, Minister of Long-Term Care.
