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 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
Planning to buy a condo at King and Dufferin? This decision affects whether the site is safe for residents. The certificate would require ongoing inspections and groundwater monitoring. Future owners must be told about contamination history before buying.
What Could Change
If approved, the developer can build residential units on this site. The certificate would require construction restrictions, regular inspections of the storage garage, and a groundwater management plan. A notice about contamination would be registered on the property title permanently.
Key Issues
- Are the proposed risk management measures adequate to protect future residents?
- Should the Certificate of Property Use be issued for residential development on this contaminated site?
How to Participate
- Review the draft Certificate of Property Use to understand the proposed conditions and risk management measures.
