Tribunal approves 10-storey mixed-use development, finding redesignation from Neighbourhoods to Mixed Use Areas represents good planning.
The applicant appealed the City of Toronto's failure to make a decision on applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit a 10-storey residential condominium and 10 townhouses.
The core issue was whether redesignating a portion of the site from 'Neighbourhoods' to 'Mixed Use Areas' was appropriate.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the applicant's experts, finding that the proposed development represents good planning, provides appropriate transition to the adjacent low-rise neighbourhood, and conforms to provincial and municipal policies.
The appeals were allowed in part, approving the development in principle subject to conditions.
