Okay, with that and I'd like to move that, so it's mr.

C

chair, the development you have in front of you, this is really a second phase, a vase, a student housing project that is being built up at York, University I, have to tell you when the first phase came in I was somewhat leery about the concept, because, if you, if you take a look at the with some of the drawings you there kind of like their their their student rooms with him, you know this sort of organized around a little common square where they have.

C

You know kitchens and that kind of thing so, but but I have to tell you the the first phase was built sometime ago, I'm I'm told that it's fully occupied and has been doing quite well and and I think that the second phase is a welcomed project as well both for the University and for the area, so I'm happy to move it in the form. That's before you with the with the change. That's that's proposed Thank.

B

You councillor, just before you vote on I think our director Neil cress, was coming.

E

Thank You mr. chair Celtic roots I, don't believe you're, aware of this. The city staff received an email from the solicitor for York University last night, asking for a few revisions to the zoning bylaw, we're not quite sure how this will play out. So what I'd like to do, if you don't mind, please, is beg the forbearance of the committee and ask for five minutes to have a quick conversation with the city, solicitor, planning staff and New York University just before community council approves this in case.

E

We need to make any tinkering to what's in front of you today can.

C

I, ask you a question, given that we are you're recommending that we not move the enacting bills until the precinct plan come is, is has been changed as well right, what's the urgency, why wouldn't you want to given there's a couple of things and given that this was kind of like dropped on our desk today and I, haven't really sort of had the opportunity to fully digest it? What what's the urgency?

C

Why wouldn't couldn't we set it down for a month or so and think through that, and are you referring to the open space, the the the the open space that that they're nervous about us securing by way of easement no.

E

That's not it counselor. That's that's one issue and we're. We have some conversations about that, but it's the actual bylaw itself, whether we're the applicant is asking for some changes. The bylaw that is actually in front of you today and what we want to do is have a conversation with the legal staff as well as York, University and and the lessee just to have an understanding of what this means.

E

We believe we might be able to resolve it between now and council, which would require supplementary report, but we want to make sure that we're all on the same page about how we handle it between now and city council. So this is why I'm asking okay.

B

So you're asking to stand this down for five minutes about.

E

Five minutes.

B

Okay with it, okay, thanks recess for ten minutes. Thank you.

B

B

Okay, I call this meeting back to order and I'm gonna ask our Director of Planning mr. quest role to make a comment that a meeting outside and Thank.

E

You mr. chair yeah, so city legal, isn't that a conversation with York University and the applicant for the the residents and with the kind of tinkering to the viola? We think it would be appropriate now to set aside the set this matter back to the next meeting of community council to allow staff to review the information that came in over the last couple of days as well as to address the issue. The the motion, the councillor Perutz so put on as well and we'll come I. Think we're comfortable with that.

E

But I think what it will require is a short supplementary report explaining a few changes to the zoning bylaw, which will actually make it more transparent here at coming to Council, as well as cleaner at City Council. So the applicant has agreed to that. Okay.

B

Council approach, you can move to withdraw your unit.

C

So I moved to withdraw the motion. I I made and move a subsequent motion that that basically says that the topic of your community council defer consideration of this item to its meeting on February 5th 2020. Okay,.
