MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY SHARYN VINCENT ON JULY 15, 2022 AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL

INTRODUCTION

1In January 2019 the Tribunal granted approval in principle to site specific zoning amendments in order to permit the redevelopment of lands known municipally as 2795-2799 Bathurst Street to accommodate a nine storey residential building. Site and Area Specific (“SASP 562”), received final approval by the Tribunal following the conclusion of the same hearing.

2The corner parcel, 2793 Bathurst Street, occupied by a free standing commercial enterprise did not form part of the rezoning appeal granted by the Tribunal, but does share the Mixed Use Official Plan designation.

3Riverking Developments Inc. (“Riverking”) has now acquired the corner property thereby creating an enhanced development site, which when comprehensively redeveloped, better optimizes the intensification opportunity afforded by the site together with presenting an improved built form, addressing the corner.

4Riverking therefore seeks to revise the existing approval in principle to allow for the minor adjustments to the draft zoning by-law instrument incorporating the corner parcel.

5The matter comes to the Tribunal with the endorsement of the City, and was supported by uncontested, Affidavit evidence of Craig Hunter, who had been qualified at the original hearing to assist the Tribunal with opinion evidence on matters of land use planning. The Affidavit, marked as Exhibit 1 to this proceeding, sworn June 9, 2022, was complemented by viva voce evidence confirming the opinions therein.

6Mr. Hunter specifically addressed the now in-force provincial policies, namely the Provincial Policy Statement 2020, and the 2020 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and SASP 562, together with the general policies of the Official Plan which would be germane to this improvement upon the approvals previously granted by the Tribunal, pursuant to the then existing intensification opportunities.

7The Tribunal reviewed the minor adjustments to the draft instruments, confirmed the endorsement by the City, and approved the revised zoning by-law amendments to both By-law Nos. 7625 and 563-2013 effective this date July 15, 2022.

ORDER

8THE TRIBUNAL ORDERS that the appeals by Riverking Development Inc. inclusive of 2793 Bathurst Street, are allowed in part, and the municipal clerk is so directed to amend the respective by-laws in accordance with the attached amending zoning by-laws, forming part of this final Order.
