The City of Toronto appealed the Committee of Adjustment's approval of minor variances for a proposed mixed-use development at 1306-1310 The Queensway.

The parties reached a settlement that maintained the approved variances but added a condition requiring the applicant to make a $126,291 cash contribution for local capital improvements.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Toronto Local Appeal Body found the variances met the four tests under section 45(1) of the Planning Act and allowed the appeal to implement the settlement condition.
