The applicant appealed the City of Toronto's failure to make a decision on Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to permit a 35-storey residential building.

The City opposed the development, arguing it was an overdevelopment with insufficient setbacks and separation distances that would negatively impact future land assembly.

The Tribunal concluded the proposal was consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conformed to the Growth Plan and Official Plan, dismissing the appeal.
