Humber Odeon vote by Council delayed
May 9th, 2006The re-zoning application for the former Humber Odeon theatre did not make it to the agenda at the last meeting of Toronto City Council (April 25-27).Because of an excess of items, the vote has been put off until later in May, at a date to be announced.
Council had been faced with deciding whether to ratify the vote by Community Council, which turned down the application on April 4th. Strong arguments in favour of reversing that decision had been expected by those on Council who believe a compromise is necessary to avoid having the face the developer at the OMB, where it’s felt the City would be at a disadvantage.
In the meantime, Councillor Bill Saundercook has begun new discussions with the developer Paul Wynn on the design of the proposed building.
