Origin
Summary
This application proposes to construct a seven storey (21.3 metres) residential building at 2810 to 2814 Bayview Avenue. The proposed building would have 61 dwellings units and have vehicular access from Irvington Crescent.
The applicant has appealed the application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (the "OLT") due to City Council's failure to make a decision within the timeframes prescribed in the Planning Act.
This report summarizes the proposal and provides analysis of the relevant provincial and City policies as they apply to the application. It recommends that City Council direct staff to attend the OLT hearing in support of the application.
