BACKGROUND

As reviewed at the TOPCA AGM on November 15, 2007, there are plans for a new development on the site of the present No Frills grocery store.  The official application was received by the City on April 23, 2008.  TOPCA has been represented at meetings with the developer (Centre City Capital Limited) to learn what is proposed, and to provide input to the developer and to City planning staff.

FIRST COMMUNITY MEETING:  There was a Ward 1 Community Meeting concerning this development application on June 26, 2008 at CLARKE HALL.
► Click here for details about the application.
► The developer's complete visual presentation at the Community Meeting is available below.

There was a formal Public Meeting held under the Ontario Planning Act on February 2, 2009 in the Council Chamber at City Hall.  The Planning Dept's Information Report (29p PDF) including the latest design details is available online.
► Mississauga News article (Feb. 3, 2009): Port Credit development billed as 'community landmark'.

The Planning Dept. advised on February 15, 2011 that additional information requested from the developer is currently being reviewed by City staff, with some requested materials still outstanding: "We are still working through some of the issues with the applicant (e.g. the proposed streetscape along Lakeshore Rd.) and they still have not addressed all our issues or submitted all information requested.  We will not schedule a Supplementary Report until this happens."  The developer has made it known that they are trying to secure a grocery store tenant (as strongly requested by the community) in the new mainstreet retail component of the mixed-use (residential / office / retail) site.

SECOND COMMUNITY MEETING:  There was a second public meeting on March 26, 2012 at CLARKE HALL, hosted by Ward 1 Councillor Jim Tovey to discuss the proposal, given that time that had elapsed since the last public meeting in 2009.
