The appellant appealed a non-decision of the Committee of Adjustment regarding 11 minor variances required to facilitate a six-storey mixed-use building at 8 De Grassi Street.
The proposed development includes 15 residential units and a commercial unit at grade, located near a planned subway station.
Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found that the variances meet the four tests under the Planning Act, being consistent with provincial policies promoting transit-supportive intensification.
The appeal was allowed in part and the variances were authorized subject to a condition regarding street tree planting.
