| 1381 Lakeshore Rd East (corner of Dixie & Lakeshore – east side) Another precedent setting proposal submitted for development along the Lakeshore corridor Proposed Development: To change the official plan and zoning to permit a 8 to 15-storey condominium apartment building containing 242 residential units with 3 levels of underground parking and ground floor retail space. Lakeview Local Area Plan allows for 2-4 stories along Lakeshore Road, any further height consideration requires additional stepping back. Details provided on the City Development submission site |
| Plan to attend and have your say in development along Lakeshore Corridor Developer is requesting a height amendment to the Lakeview Local Area Plan setting precedent for future development applications. In the last few months, numerous submissions have been received by the City for increased height along the Lakeshore Corridor. Your voice counts! Please contact City Planner: David Ferro at 905‑615-3200 ext. 4554 david.ferro@mississauga.ca Include questions and comments to Councillor Dasko and copy to admin@lakeviewratepayers.com Community Notice from City LINK to Lakeview Ratepayers Fact Sheet Community Feedback: Any height above 2- 4-storeys at Lakeshore Road should be stepped back prior to additional height consideration. Plans currently show 4-storeys at the building edge, upon further investigation, this is nothing more than a ledge and should not constitute an actual step back of the building. No direct contact has taken place with this developer and resident association A Lakeshore Corridor study needs to take place, prior to considering this and other projects that require Official Plan & Lakeview Local Area Plan amendments. Please refer to the Lakeview Legacy document point 10 (page 7) when referring to the ’10 guiding design principles’ of the Citizens Visioning Plan. Establish the Lakeshore Corridor as a tree lined linear Heritage Park including an LRT and bikeway on the south side of Lakeshore Road flanking and servicing the medium density south of Lakeshore in the Lakeview Core (strategy 6) and linking Lakeview’s existing neighborhoods to the waterfront, core community services, revitalized commercial and employment zone |

| Plan to attend and have your say in development along Lakeshore Corridor Developer is asking for a height amendment to the Lakeview Local Area Plan (each current development demands more height) setting precedent for future development. In the last few months, numerous submissions have been received by the City for increased height along the Lakeshore Corridor. Your voice counts! LINK to Lakeview Ratepayers Fact Sheet Community Feedback: * Any height above 2- 4-storeys at Lakeshore Road should be stepped back (terraced) before any further height consideration * Original ‘L’ shaped building change has impacted the development with land swopping * No through traffic access through the existing stable community at Byngmount Avenue * Process: original 2014 engagement was well done, however no further engagement since and previous community input has been put aside * Ground floor space needs to integrate with the existing Lakeview community (community kitchen to be considered) * Green space opportunity to tie in new residents with community through parkette/community garden * Better architectural design to the building * Balconies should be included and rooftop space for greenery options * Lakeshore Corridor study needs to take place, prior to considering these projects In April 2014, former Councillor Jim Tovey held a charrette to receive ideas from the community on how the redevelopment of affordable housing at the East Avenue location (Owned by Peel Housing Corp) would integrate best within the community. The response was a mixed use building that would include retail space at the ground level and garden space for the residents of the building. Green space at the rear of the building with no through traffic to the existing stable neighbourhood at Bygmount Avenue, however maintaining walkable integration between the neighborhoods. The community wished to ensure residents (seniors affordable units) integrated with the Lakeside community to the west & the Lakeshore pedestrian orientated corridor. The Lakeview Legacy document captures the idea in point 10 (page 7) when referring to the ’10 guiding design principles’ of the Citizens Visioning Plan. Establish the Lakeshore Corridor as a tree lined linear Heritage Park including an LRT and bikeway on the south side of Lakeshore Road flanking and servicing the medium density south of Lakeshore in the Lakeview Core (strategy 6) and linking Lakeview’s existing neighborhoods to the waterfront, core community services, revitalized commercial and employment zone See news article written at the time Mississauga News The current affordable building development proposal under review and requiring an official plan & zoning change, does not include the above items or allow the stepping back from 2-4 stories along Lakeshore Road, nor does it take into consideration the LAP policy, the future transportation plans or Linear Heritage Park along the Lakeshore Corridor. In addition, here lies a perfect opportunity to increase the number of units by extending the building from Lakeshore Road and further south along East Avenue, maintaining the ‘L’ shape of the building but stepping back from Lakeshore Road. Ultimately, this will blend the development at this location, with the new community development of Rangeview and Lakeview Village, integrating with the east side of East Avenue as it develops. The unique idea was to extend the building and add additional units over the top of the paramedic station (also owned by the Region) not unusual, and achieving more desperately needed housing. Note: The Region owns the former Byngmount School property directly adjacent. Affordable housing is welcome and has been encouraged on this site by the community. The focus should align with the city strategic plan; completing our neighborhoods through developing walkable, connected neighbourhoods, while building vibrant communities and nurturing ‘villages’. Additional reading documents: Peel Region Agenda Sept 2017 Peel Housing Report – start on page 30 Amendments have been requested to the Official Plan and the Lakeview Local Area Plan to provide 151 affordable housing units. New rental units will replace the 30 units and add an additional 30 units that will be subsidized (60 units based on a subsidized 60% AMR) plus an additional 90 units based on regular priced AMR (Average Market Rent). The 2016 estimate to build was $45million. |

Lakeview Lands (former OPG) and future Lakeview Village
Monday September 21st, at 6:00pm City Hall & Online Public Statutory Meeting
Applicant: Lakeview Community Partners will submit their application to the Planning & Development Committee at City Hall.
The Lakeview Community Advisory Panel through the Lakeview Ratepayers Association has worked tirelessly on this file over numerous years, to gain the best result for the community of Lakeview, and citizens of Mississauga. Since 2005 the Lakeview Legacy Project provided the initial vision of a sustainable, walkable and artistic community hub on a former brownfields waterfront site that has not been accessible to the public for over 120 years.
The City website provides a record of community engagement and consultation from Lakeview Legacy to 2014 Master Plan and various plans provided by Lakeview Community Partners. Follow LINK for the history of Inspiration Lakeview Past Events & Master Plan updates.
At the forefront of our discussions with City Planning, developer, LCP and Sasaki, urban planners has been the significance of the waterfront park as deeded to the City of Mississauga and its residents. In addition, keeping density in line with the Lakeshore Road infrastructure, allowing for pedestrian first and bike mobility, while encouraging a walkable neighborhood for all. The original concept included searching for the best in sustainability, with the development providing out of the box thinking on one of the last pieces of undeveloped Mississauga/GTA waterfront.
The mid-rise development vision allowed for affordable housing, artist hub, the village heart for Lakeview, a world class destination, and role model in sustainable development. As a community we have expected and asked for the very best in planning for the existing and future Lakeview residents, not just for today but the next 100 years.
Many of you will have provided input into this vision and should continue to do so. The Lakeview Panel met with Mayor Bonnie Crombie and Councillor Stephen Dasko in October 2019 and made a request that the City negotiate the following
This adjustment to the current proposal would allow for a more open and protected space at the waterfront, this area will be used by all Mississauga residents. Given the significance of green space and its usage during these last six months of COVID, we strongly suggest that this is taken into consideration. In addition, the importance of the road between waterfront and residences be left as a permanent ‘quiet street’. This has been noted both regionally and globally to contribute to the well-being of residents.
We ask that you contact the Planning Department and make the above request directly to the City Planner, David Breveglieri, copying in Councillor Dasko. In addition we believe it is imperative for residents to understand and take interest in the impact on the Lakeshore Road corridor and evolving mobility issues.
More information will follow with respect to establishing the Lakeshore Corridor as a tree lined linear Heritage Park including an BRT and bike way on the south side of Lakeshore Road flanking and servicing the medium density south of Lakeshore in the Lakeview Core and linking Lakeview’s existing neighborhoods to the waterfront, core community services, with the revitalized commercial and employment zone.
We question: when should we expect this conversation? Is there a plan? How can we accept density and new development without this infrastructure in place? Please refer to the Lakeview Legacy Document prepared by Lakeview Ratepayers Association & The Centre of Landscape Research, UofT back in 2010
Applicants Proposal for the Lakeview Lands:
To change the official plan, zoning and to approve a plan of subdivision to permit a mixed-use and multi‑phase project that will create a waterfront community of 8,050 residential units (townhouse, mid‑rise and high‑rise), parks, institutional, cultural, employment, and commercial uses.
This meeting will be held in person and online. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the public are encouraged to participate online. Advance registration is required to attend the meeting in person due to limited seating. The proceedings will be streamed live online for the public to view at the following link: http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/cityhall/council-and-committee-videos. If you wish to phone in to listen to the meeting only, please call 905-615-3200, ext. 5423 for instructions.
Purpose of Meeting:
· For the applicant to present the proposal
· For people to ask questions and share their views about the proposal
· For Planning & Development Committee to receive a report that provides information on the project from the City Planning Department
The report will be available on-line one week prior to the meeting at: http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/cityhall/planninganddevelopment
