.3.7. Districts or sites identified for Destination and/or Catalytic land uses are uses that
are intended to entertain, educate or elevate culture. Desired and permitted uses
include arts, design and cultural-related uses, artisanal light-intensity manufacturing,
entertainment places of assembly, parks and open spaces, community centres
and recreational uses, media uses, post-secondary education uses, renewable energy,
marine passenger terminals, other community uses and accessory retail and service
uses. Other essential city services, such as transit stations and/or stops are also
permitted. Residential uses are not permitted. Nightclubs and casinos are not
Destination and/or Catalytic uses. This Area’s Specific Policy’s land use compatibility
policies and policy 4.4 may need to be addressed prior to permitting sensitive uses.

.4. Development consisting of PIC Core, Light Industrial and Productions, Port and Industrial
land uses in advance of the implementation of the required flood remedial protection works
may require the implementation of appropriate flood-proofing measures in accordance
with the policies of the Lower Don Special Policy Area and to the satisfaction of the City
in consultation with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Any flood- proofing
measures may not preclude the implementation of the required flood remedial
protection works in the Don Mouth Naturalization and Port Lands Flood Protection Project
Environmental Assessment (DMNP EA). Development consisting of new and/or intensified
land uses provided for in the Mixed-Use Residential and PIC Mixed-Use land use typologies
identified in policies 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 requires the implementation of the flood remedial
protection works in the DMNP EA.
4.5. In the interim period while the flood protection works are under construction, flood risk for
specific developments will be determined by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
(
TRCA) based on floodplain mapping produced by the TRCA when identifying the limits of
development for a proposed project.

.6. PIC Core, Light Industrial and Productions, Port and Industrial Districts are areas for clusters
of business and economic uses and are essential cornerstones for a diverse and thriving
civic economy required for the foreseeable future. Conversion of these Districts or individual
sites to non-employment uses will only be considered through a municipal comprehensive
review or as may otherwise be set out in provincial legislation, plans and/or policies, and
will require the preparation of a precinct plan. Temporary, major international events may be
permitted subject to City Council’s direction and appropriate accommodation of existing
operations.
4.7. Land Use Compatibility
4
.7.1. The Port Lands has a number of existing port and industrial uses, lands designated
for future Port uses, and an energy generation facility. Land use compatibility issues
associated with the introduction of sensitive uses in Villiers Island, Polson Quay/
South River and the McCleary District have been identified. Land use compatibility
issues have also been identified associated with the introduction of noise-sensitive
institutional uses in the Media City, Turning Basin, Warehouse and Hearn Districts.
Receptor mitigation may be insufficient to appropriately mitigate noise and air
quality impacts. Prior to permitting sensitive uses in the Zoning By-law, a package
of measures, such as separation distances, buffer uses, source mitigation and/or
receptor mitigation, may be required. Mitigation is not required for spaces in noise
sensitive uses that are not noise-sensitive, such as lobbies and administrative areas.

.7.2. In order to address land use compatibility, there will be a need for a collaborative
approach between development proponents introducing new sensitive uses, existing
and planned major facilities in the Port Lands, and the City. Proponents of new
