| 9.2 | St. Catharines General Hospital Site Councillor Stevens provided notice of the following motion at the meeting of June 27, 2016:
Whereas the St. Catharines General Hospital on Queenston Street ceased operations on March 24, 2013; and
Whereas since March 24, 2013 the building and premises formerly known as the St. Catharines General Hospital has remained empty; and
Whereas the grounds surrounding the site has become a weed infested, rodent infested, neglected, and derelict eyesore on a major route into the city; and
Whereas planning staff have worked diligently with the developer in an attempt to expedite the process of redevelopment with resulting promises of future action which have not occurred; and
Whereas area businesses have become frustrated and upset over the lack of action pertaining to this site; and
Whereas the Queenston Street Neighbourhood Association has repeatedly requested some visible sign of progress; and
Whereas the surrounding area of the former hospital site has deteriorated steadily since the departure of the hospital; and
Therefore Be It Resolved that an on site meeting be requested as early as possible in September of 2016, with the owners of the former St. Catharines General Hospital site with the objective of determining a definite date for both the beginning and the end of the redevelopment of this site; and
Be It Further Resolved that the on-site meeting consist of the developer, St. Catharines planning staff, both Ward Councillors, any other available City Councillor, the C.A.O., and any other applicable city staff. FORTHWITH
