The parties requested a further Case Management Conference (CMC) to address details of phasing and outstanding matters in the Procedural Order regarding appeals of the City of Burlington's New Official Plan and related amendments.

The Tribunal granted the request and scheduled a further CMC for February 24, 2022.

The applicants appealed the City of Toronto's failure to make a decision on their respective zoning by-law amendment applications to permit office building developments on neighbouring properties.

The parties reached a settlement for a combined 13-storey office building that conserves two listed heritage buildings on the site.

Based on uncontested expert planning evidence, the Tribunal found the revised proposal consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and in conformity with the Growth Plan and Official Plan.

The appeals were allowed in part and the zoning by-law amendment was approved in principle, with the final order withheld pending the fulfillment of agreed conditions.

A Case Management Conference was held regarding appeals for an official plan amendment, zoning by-law amendment, and plan of subdivision for a mixed-use development.

The Tribunal granted party status to three entities in the zoning and subdivision appeals, consolidated the official plan and zoning appeals, and scheduled a further hearing event to consider an anticipated settlement between the applicant and the City.

The City of Burlington brought a motion during a Case Management Conference to release the freeze on certain lands under an Interim Control By-law (ICBL).

The ICBL remained in effect due to appeals of a Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) that applied only to a specific area near the Burlington GO Station.

The Tribunal found, based on uncontested planning evidence, that the ZBA did not apply to the lands outside its specific area.

Consequently, pursuant to s. 38(6.1) of the Planning Act, the Tribunal's finding invoked the release of the ICBL for all remaining lands outside the ZBA area, allowing prior zoning to resume effect.

The applicant appealed the City of Toronto's failure to make a decision on a zoning by-law amendment application to permit a 21-storey residential building.

At the first Case Management Conference, the Tribunal granted participant status to several local residents and a condominium corporation, and granted party status to the Toronto Lands Corporation and the South Eglinton Ratepayers and Residents Association.

A second Case Management Conference was scheduled to finalize the procedural order and issues list.

The Tribunal held a first Case Management Conference regarding appeals of the City of Mississauga's Official Plan Amendment No. 115, which revises policies for Central Erin Mills Node and mall-based Community Nodes.

The Tribunal granted party status to The Children's Centre South Common Court Inc. on an unopposed basis.

The parties agreed to identify specific policies under appeal, produce a draft consolidated issues list, and prepare a draft Procedural Order.

A second Case Management Conference was scheduled to review the Procedural Order and plan for a possible hearing.

A case management conference was held to consider hearing appeals related to the City of Burlington's Official Plan Amendment 119, Zoning By-law Amendment 2020-418, and the new Official Plan together.

The Tribunal ordered the matters to be heard together for case management purposes.

Additionally, the Tribunal granted a motion by 409 Brant St. Ltd., finding that ZBA 2020-418 does not apply to its site, which had the statutory effect of releasing the site from the Interim Control By-law and reinstating its prior zoning.

The Ontario Land Tribunal held a second Case Management Conference regarding appeals by Yonge Park Plaza Inc. for official plan and zoning by-law amendments, and site plan approval for a mixed-use development at 4050 Yonge Street.

The Tribunal granted participant status to two residents' associations, directed the appellant to clarify the site plan appeal regarding lands not owned by the appellant, and scheduled a 15-day hearing on the merits for May 2022.

The Tribunal held a Case Management Conference regarding multiple appeals of the City of Toronto's Official Plan Amendment No. 486 (King Spadina Secondary Plan).

Four non-appellant property owners requested party status.

The Tribunal found that three owners had a direct interest and added them as parties, contingent on filing a list of issues to shelter under.

A fourth owner, who did not make submissions prior to the OPA's adoption, was also added as a party because they owned lands within the OPA area and were directly affected.

The Tribunal directed the parties to submit a final draft Procedural Order.

This was the first Case Management Conference regarding multiple appeals of the new Official Plan for the City of Burlington, as modified and approved by the Regional Municipality of Halton.

The Tribunal granted party and participant status to several requestors and set deadlines for the submission of issues lists and a draft Procedural Order.

A subsequent Case Management Conference was scheduled to address overlapping appeals with another Official Plan Amendment.

The moving party, owner of hotel properties, brought a motion under section 53 of the Assessment Act for disclosure of information in MPAC's possession relating to other hotel properties.

MPAC did not object to the disclosure but required a Board order and confidentiality undertakings from the moving party's counsel and consultants.

The Board ordered MPAC to produce the requested financial statements, sales studies, and related documents, conditional upon the execution of the non-disclosure undertakings.
