Certificate of Property Use for 1071 King Street West, Toronto
Official title: 1071 KG Inc. - Certificate of property use
A developer wants to build residential housing on a contaminated site in downtown Toronto. The Ministry of Environment has reviewed their cleanup plan and is now deciding whether to issue a Certificate of Property Use. This certificate would set rules for how the property can be used safely.
Why This Matters
Live near King and Dufferin? This affects your neighbourhood. The site has contamination that needs ongoing management. Future residents and neighbours should know what safeguards will be in place.
What Could Change
If approved, the certificate would allow residential development with strict conditions. These include construction restrictions, mandatory inspections of the storage garage, a groundwater management plan, and ongoing reporting. The certificate gets registered on the property title permanently.
Key Issues
- Are the proposed risk management measures adequate to protect future residents?
- Is the groundwater management plan sufficient given the site contamination?
- Are the construction restrictions and inspection requirements appropriate?
How to Participate
- Review the draft Certificate of Property Use to understand the proposed conditions.
