Tribunal approves settlement modifying Official Plan Amendments to permit eight-storey mixed-use development near Bathurst subway station.
The Tribunal held a settlement hearing regarding appeals of the City of Toronto's Official Plan Amendments 246 and 349, and Zoning By-law No. BL 1283-2016.
The settlement proposed modifying the OPAs to expand the Bathurst-Bloor Character Area to include the subject property and adjacent lands, allowing for an eight-storey mixed-use development near the Bathurst subway station.
Based on uncontroverted expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the modifications had appropriate regard for provincial interests, were consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, and conformed to the Growth Plan and the City's Official Plan.
The appeals were allowed in part to implement the settlement, and the remaining appeal against the Zoning By-law was dismissed.
