The applicant appealed the Town of Aurora's failure to make a decision on an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a mixed-use residential building, as well as appealing a heritage designation by-law for a portion of the subject lands.
Prior to the hearing, the parties reached a settlement for a nine-storey building with 545 residential units.
Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the settlement proposal consistent with provincial policies and municipal plans, representing good transit-oriented development.
The Tribunal also found the property had no cultural heritage value and directed the repeal of the heritage by-law.
The appeals were allowed on an interim basis, with the final order withheld pending fulfillment of conditions.
