The appellant appealed the City's refusal of a minor variance application and failure to decide on a site plan application for a proposed 12-storey mixed-use building.
The parties reached a settlement and presented uncontroverted expert planning evidence supporting the revised proposal.
The Tribunal found that the requested variances met the four tests under s. 45(1) of the Planning Act, being consistent with provincial policies and maintaining the general intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
The appeal was allowed in part, and the variances were authorized subject to agreed-upon conditions.
