Item - 2026.TE33.13

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council direct the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal in opposition to the current application regarding the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application appeal for the lands municipally known as 110-114 Maitland Street and 440 Jarvis Street.

2. City Council direct the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve outstanding issues.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and City staff to take any necessary steps to implement City Council's decision, including requesting any conditions of approval that would be in the City's interest, in the event the Ontario Land Tribunal allows the appeal, in whole or in part.

On July 11, 2025, an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law was submitted and was deemed complete on August 11, 2025, satisfying the City's minimum application requirements.

The Official Plan Amendment proposes to permit institutional uses at 110-114 Maitland Street and 440 Jarvis Street. The Zoning By-law Amendment proposes a 56-storey (184.5 metres, including mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building with 579 dwelling units, of which 36 are replacement rental units, and approximately 4,739 square metres of non-residential space.

A Rental Housing Demolition Application has also been submitted to address rental replacement obligations for the 36 existing rental units on site in conjunction with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application.

On March 30, 2026, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment 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.
