is, in respect of any building, to permit the deferral to the earlier of 12
months from the issuance of the building permit or the sale of the property;

WHEREAS with a standard residential dwelling when a closing occurs, the full
value of the land and building is received by the Vendor, thereby enabling the

permit a longer period for the deferral of development charges;

BE IT RESOLVED THAT Hyde Park Residences be permitted to defer its development

permit, subject to entering into a deferral agreement in a form satisfactory to

acceptable; and
WHEREAS
children and adults regularly use Sylvia Holden Park as a park for games, bench

the separation of the park into one section for development to accommodate an

arguments around whether Sylvia Holden Park is a park or not, can choose to
protect land it owns from commercial development;
THEREFORE

park regardless of any adjacent commercial development at Lansdowne Park.
