Priority F"n$tions in the Central rea:

2ection $)$1 states that the Central Area is.

9the prime focus of office# cultural and entertainment "ses as well as a diverserange of retail facilities including specialty stores# regional uses and services inaddition to stores and services which support its residential population$ t is alsomuch more than a commercial area and provides the focus for governmentactivities community and re$reational "ses# higher density and specialiedforms of housing# heritage sites and !uildings# to"rist fa$ilities as well as thesite of several ey industries$: Kemphasis addedL

Conformity:

2trict interpretation of these policies would reFuire that a casino as an entertainmentuse !e located in the Central Area5 however# at issue is whether a casino is really theind of entertainment use envisioned !y the Plan$

%he intent of the Official Plan is to create a multi-functional destination in the Central Area$ %he De!ruary 11# 01) 2taff &eport P'P1(-0)* noted that# 9the conglomeration

generate traffic in a synergistic way that adds to the vitality of the Central Area andpromotes cross-fertiliation of !usinesses$

Conversely# a Casino tends to !e a destination unto itself that does not result in anysignificant cross-fertiliation with other uses$ t is a large land user reFuiring vast paring

facilities that is not a use that is easily accommodated in the Central Area$ ts locationalreFuirements and land area reFuirements are similar to uses such as Costco that haveregional functions and are located outside of the Central Area$

%he De!ruary 11# 01) 2taff &eport P'P1)-01)/ notes that# 9a casino is not the indof entertainment use that fulfills the intent of the entertainment function envisioned !ythe Plan$: Durther as descri!ed in P'P1)-01)# restricting casino"gaming to the Central

Area would 9only satisfy the letter of the Official Plan as opposed to the intent of thePlan$: Based on the function of a casino as a relatively uniFue single-purposedestination# it would not contri!ute to the overall functionality of the Central Area in thesame way as a theater or cinema$ 2ince it would not contri!ute to the synergies and

overall function of the Central Area# the proposed amendment# in locating the useelsewhere# does not compromise the function of the Central Area$ nstead# theproposed Official Plan amendment would conform to the overall intent of contri!uting tothe commercial hierarchy in an appropriate manner !y !ringing an important region-serving use to the City and locating it in an appropriate location$

Durther# a gateway location# as proposed# on a service commercial designated site is anappropriate location for such a facility due to its transportation and future transitinfrastructure# as well as its visi!ility at a gateway to the City$

Although a casino located in the Central Area will not achieve the synergies and cross-fertiliation envisioned for the Central Area# there may !e associated functions to acasino such as a stand-alone performing arts facility that are appropriate in the Central

Area$ 2uch facilities and events would have a potential for synergistic relationships andcross fertiliation with other commercial facilities in the Central Area$ %herefore# in orderto maintain conformity with the intent of the Central Area priority policies# it is importantthat a !roader entertainment function is not accommodated as part of the plannedcasino"gaming facility and that stand-alone performance venues not !e permitted$

%he Official Plan amendment addresses this concern !y restricting the use only toentertainment ancillary to the gaming use and not entertainment that would serve as adraw independent of the casino"gaming function$
