Boy, city has a fight on their hands. They should have accepted this plan.

From city planning staff,

Based on the realities of the property and a review of the applicable policies, staff are satisfied that the proposed Corridor (C) future land use designation and the interim East Royalty – Mixed Use Village Centre (ER-MUVC) zoning are appropriate for the subject property. The proposal is consistent with the growth objectives of both the current and previous Official Plans by facilitating comprehensive development within a designated growth area, supporting the creation of a mixed-use node along a major arterial corridor, and providing opportunities for future residential and employment uses. Although the lands were not directly addressed in earlier Planning documents due to their annexation history, the surrounding land use pattern and the policy direction for the St. Peters Road corridor provide clear support for the proposed designation and zoning. The proposal also reflects the intent of the East Royalty Master Plan by enabling the long-term development of a complete and well-connected community.
Staff also note that the public consultation process identified no objections to the application. Questions raised by residents related primarily to future development, which will be addressed through the future Development Agreement and future planning approvals. It is the opinion of staff that the application is well supported by the City's policy framework, represents sound planning, and establishes an appropriate foundation for the coordinated and comprehensive development of the subject property into the future.
