Certificate of Property Use for Contaminated Site at 3699 Bloor Street West, Toronto
Official title: City of Toronto - Certificate of property use
The Ontario Ministry of Environment is considering issuing a Certificate of Property Use for a contaminated property in Toronto's west end. A risk assessment found contaminants on site, and the certificate would set rules for how the land can be safely developed for residential use. These rules include building restrictions, soil barriers, air monitoring, and worker safety plans.
Why This Matters
Live near Bloor and Kipling? This property is being prepared for residential development. The certificate ensures contamination is managed before homes are built. Future residents and neighbours should know what safeguards will be in place.
What Could Change
If approved, the Certificate of Property Use will be registered on the property title. Any future owner must follow the risk management measures, including maintaining soil barriers and conducting air monitoring. Construction will face specific restrictions to protect residents from contamination.
Key Issues
- Are the proposed risk management measures adequate to protect future residents?
- Should the Certificate of Property Use be issued for this contaminated site?
- Are the building construction restrictions and soil barrier requirements sufficient?
How to Participate
- Review the draft Certificate of Property Use to understand the proposed risk management measures.
