Origin

(January 10, 2023) Report from the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District

Summary

On October 28, 2021, a Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted to permit a 19-storey mixed-use building containing 42 dwelling units.

 

On July 13, 2022, the Applicant appealed the application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) due to Council not making a decision within the 120-day time frame in the Planning Act.

 

This report reviews and recommends that the City Solicitor with the appropriate staff attend the OLT to oppose the application in its current form and to continue discussions with the Applicant to resolve outstanding issues.
