The City of Toronto brought a motion to adjourn sine die the site-specific appeal of Del Boca Vista Properties Inc. regarding Official Plan Amendment No. 573.

The appellant consented to the adjournment on the proposed terms, which would allow its site-specific development application process to unfold and avoid a multiplicity of proceedings.

The Tribunal granted the motion and adjourned the appeal sine die subject to the agreed terms.

Multiple appellants appealed the City of Toronto's adoption of Official Plan Amendment No. 478 (OPA 478), which provides area-wide policies for lands near the Main Street TTC Station and Danforth GO Station.

At a settlement hearing, the Tribunal considered proposed modifications to OPA 478 that clarify the provision of new streets, parks, built form standards, and municipal services.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found that the modified OPA 478 is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth Plan, and represents good land use planning.

The Tribunal allowed the appeals in part and approved the modified OPA 478.
