Tribunal approves settlement for high-density mixed-use development in Markham Centre on an interim basis.
The applicant appealed the City of Markham's failure to make a decision on applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a high-density residential mixed-use development.
The parties reached a settlement proposing five high-rise towers and a public park.
The Tribunal accepted uncontradicted expert planning evidence that the settlement proposal represents good planning, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conforms to applicable official plans.
The appeals were allowed in part on an interim basis, with the final order withheld pending the satisfaction of municipal infrastructure and servicing conditions.
