The Ontario Land Tribunal issued a procedural order governing the hearing of an appeal by the applicant regarding the City of Toronto's refusal of a zoning by-law amendment application for a 35-storey residential building.

The order establishes the issues list, hearing dates, and procedural deadlines for the 14-day hearing scheduled to commence on February 3, 2025.

The Ontario Land Tribunal held a third Case Management Conference regarding appeals against the municipality's failure to adopt a requested Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment for a proposed mixed-use development.

The parties reported ongoing technical discussions and requested a further CMC following a scheduled municipal council meeting.

The Tribunal scheduled a fourth CMC for October 17, 2024, and directed the parties to provide an updated Procedural Order and Issues List.

The appellant appealed the City of Toronto's failure to adopt requested official plan and zoning by-law amendments to permit a 35-storey residential building.

Based on uncontested land use planning evidence, the Ontario Land Tribunal allowed the appeals in part and approved the redevelopment in principle.

The final order was withheld pending the satisfaction of several conditions, including the finalization of the amendments, engineering matters, and a tenant relocation and assistance plan.

The appellant appealed the Town's failure to make a decision on a zoning by-law amendment application to facilitate the development of single detached and townhouse dwellings.

Following a settlement and a previous decision approving the amendment in principle, the Tribunal issued its final order approving the zoning by-law amendment after being advised that the related Block 404 application had been deemed complete.

The Ontario Land Tribunal issued a procedural order to govern the required procedures leading up to and including the hearing scheduled to commence on November 29, 2023.

The hearing concerns appeals by LIV Developments Ltd. regarding the City of Hamilton's failure to adopt requested official plan and zoning by-law amendments to permit the development of 84 stacked townhouses and 150 apartment units.
