(To permit a mixed-use development consisting of two towers 26 and 29 storeys in height with 462 residential units and 1039 square metres of commercial space) 1685 & 1701 Queen Street East Ward 8 Contact: Alex Taranu, Manager, Planning Design and Development Department (905-874-3454) Overview: This report has a two-fold purpose. Part A provides a staff recommendation in relation to the application for a mixed-use development on the subject lands. Part B seeks direction to provide an intersection at Kings Cross Road and Queen Street East. The redevelopment of the subject lands would support the achievement of the land use planning goals for the Central Area, assist in the transformation of Queen Street into a pedestrian-friendly, transit- supportive signature boulevard for the City and complement and support other City investment such as the ZUM rapid transit service and future rapid transit upgrades along the corridor. Staff recommend approval of the subject to certain conditions. Through the processing of the application, staff inquired with the Region regarding the opportunity to create an intersection at Kings Cross Road and Queen Street, to support the goals for transforming Queen Street. The provision of this intersection would make a positive contribution to urban place-making and structure of the area.

    Report sJ BRAMPTON Committee of Council bramplon.ca FlOWef City Committee of the Council of The Corporation of the City of Brampton Date: May 16, 2011 COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL File: M25-RBHA PATF- ^n* t ,20ft Subject: Application for Exemption from the Retail Business Holiday Act by Morguard Corporation for the Bramalea City Centre Contact: Jeffrey Baines, Manager, Business Information and Competitive Policy (905-874-2660) Overview: • In November 2010, Morguard Corporation applied to the Regional Municipality of Peel for an exemption under the Retail Business Holidays Act (RBHA) for an Area Basis Tourist Exemption for the Bramalea City Centre. • The exemption would permit retail and food type business to remain open voluntarily between the hours of 10:00am and 6:00pm on NewYear's Day, Family Day, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day and Thanksgiving Day. • Regional approval of the exemption request would place Bramalea City Centre on the same competitive playing field as Square One, which permits their merchants to operate on those same days. City of Brampton economic development staff support Morguard Corporation's application for a holiday exemption for the Bramalea City Centre under the RBHA and supports the analysis that this designation would benefit the retailers, area residents and tourists, providing an opportunity to shop within Brampton on select designated holidays and not export their spending to other jurisdictions. Recommendations: 1. That the report from Jeffrey Baines, Manager, Business Information and Competitive Policy, Economic Development and Communications dated May 16, 2011 to the Committee of Council Meeting of June 1, 2011, re: Application for Exemption from the Retail Business Holiday Act by Morguard Corporation for the Bramalea City Centre, be received; and 2.
