Meanwhile, it has also been recommended to approve the building of a Taco Bell takeway food outlet on Bathurst Road.
Tonight's meeting will also hear a report back after the public exhibition of plans to commemorate a Depression-era site, known as The Springs, which was on the city's outskirts in the 1930s.
Plans include displays, totem poles and picnic areas.
Tonight's meeting will again be conducted via an online streaming platform due to the coronavirus pandemic restrictions.
