Zoning by-law amendment for 19-storey building approved; shadow impacts on neighbouring seniors residence adequately limited.
The applicant appealed the City of Toronto's failure to make a decision on applications for a Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan approval to permit a 19-storey mixed-use building.
The City and the applicant reached a settlement, which was opposed by a group of residents and a neighbouring seniors residence, Belmont House, primarily due to concerns over shadow impacts.
The Tribunal found that the proposed development adequately limits shadow impacts on Belmont House in accordance with applicable policies and guidelines, and that the settlement represents good planning.
The appeal was allowed in part, and the Zoning By-law Amendment was approved in principle.
