The Tribunal held a settlement hearing regarding multiple appeals of the City of Toronto's by-law designating the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District and adopting its associated Plan.

Based on the uncontested expert evidence of a heritage planner and a land use planner, the Tribunal found that the modified Plan satisfies the requirements of the Ontario Heritage Act and the Planning Act, is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conforms to the Growth Plan and the City's Official Plan.

The Tribunal approved the designation of the HCD and the modified Plan, allowing the appeals in part to implement the settlement.

The Tribunal held a settlement hearing regarding appeals of the City of Toronto's adoption of Official Plan Amendment No. 486 (the King-Spadina Secondary Plan).
