Origin
Summary
On July 10, 2025, an application to amend the Zoning By-law was submitted (the "Application") and deemed complete on November 6, 2025, satisfying the City's minimum application requirements. The Application seeks to permit three four-storey residential buildings with approximately 125 dwelling units at 3100 Weston Road. The Carmine Stefano Community Centre and existing heritage structures, including the main house, garage and pumphouse on the subject lands are to remain.
On February 23, 2026, the applicant appealed the Application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (“OLT”) due to Council’s failure to make a decision within the time frame in the Planning Act.
This Report recommends that the City Solicitor, with the appropriate City Staff, attend the OLT hearing to oppose the application in its current form and to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve any outstanding issues.
