Zoning By-law Amendment for 46-storey tower approved; shadow impacts found to be adequately limited.
The applicant appealed the City of Toronto's failure to make a decision on a Zoning By-law Amendment application to permit a mixed-use development with three buildings, including a 46-storey tower.
The City opposed the 46-storey height, arguing it should be reduced to 24 storeys due to shadow impacts and lack of conformity with the Official Plan.
The Tribunal found that the proposed development, including the 46-storey tower, was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conformed to the Growth Plan, and fit harmoniously within the existing and planned context.
The Tribunal held that the shadow impacts were adequately limited and approved the Zoning By-law Amendment in principle.
