  • The Capital Sustainability Steering Committee recommends to Council:

    Whereas the Civic Precinct area at the southwest corner of Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive is an important space in the centre of Richmond Hill;

    Whereas staff were directed at the July 9, 2018 Council meeting “to report back on a revised scope of work for the Civic Precinct Project at the time that staff report back on alternate options to accommodate the Town Hall space needs”;

    Whereas the work to accommodate City Hall space needs continues to be underway and is nearing completion;

    Whereas the Richmond Hill Official Plan Review has commenced with the establishment of the Official Plan Update Committee on February 25, 2020 and the Civic Precinct area is part of the Official Plan Review;

    Whereas there is an opportunity to evaluate a new approach for the Civic Precinct lands through the Official Plan Review that considers the extension of the subway to Richmond Hill, assesses intensification options to support future growth and supports the Downtown area through greater integration and mix of uses including private and public amenities;

    Therefore Be It Resolved:

    i. That the use of the Civic Precinct lands at the southwest corner of Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive be determined by the Official Plan Review.

    ii. That subject to the appropriate zoning, the lands be used as passive parkland until such time as the Official Plan Review is conducted;

    iii. That staff report back to the Capital Sustainability Steering Committee in Q2 2020 on incremental capital and operating requirements to maintain the Civic Precinct lands as passive parkland.

  • The Capital Sustainability Steering Committee recommends to Council:

    Whereas Council on August 24, 2018 directed staff to conduct an accommodation study to review alternative options to accommodate City Hall space requirements;

    Whereas Council on February 4, 2019 approved the establishment of a Civic Administration Centre Project Steering Committee to review and provide advice with respect to the program and design concept of a Civic Administration Centre;

    Whereas the Accommodation Study Report is in the process of being finalized;

    Whereas the necessity for additional civic administration space is not immediate and the City is in the process of exploring options for working remotely, mobile and hoteling;

    Whereas the least cost option to accommodate civic administration space requirements is to undertake renovations of 225 Est Beaver Creek and leverage other City owned satellite spaces;

    Therefore Be It Resolved:

    i. That the Civic Administration Centre Project Steering Committee be dissolved.

    ii. That the Accommodation Study Report be presented directly to Council once complete.
