    AND WHEREAS as a City we are responsible for both economic development and residential intensification and need to find a balance between promoting both sectors

    AND WHEREAS the lands on the West side of Mavis and the subject lands are contiguous and were originally both zoned for industrial use but have been treated very differently; with the lands West of Mavis enjoying protection as employment lands while those on the East side alone have been rezoned primarily for commercial uses which do not permit industrial uses 

    NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT

    Council direct staff to prepare a report to Planning Development Committee outlining the history, planning context, relevant official plan land use policies, zoning by-law provisions and other applicable policies and guidelines related to the Subject Lands; and provide context as to why lands that were once contiguously zoned industrial have been treated very differently on the West and East side of Mavis

    AND FURTHER THAT the report include a preliminary recommendation on the appropriateness of reintroducing industrial land use permissions to the Subject Lands, and that the report also review the lands on the west side of Mavis Road
