MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY GREGORY J. INGRAM ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1This is the second Case Management Conference (“CMC”) for the above-noted matter. Millwick Acquisitions Corp. (“Appellant”) filed an appeal against the Town of Orangeville Council for failing to make a decision on applications to amend the Official Plans of the County of Dufferin and the Town of Orangeville, the Comprehensive Zoning By-law, and Site Plan which is required to facilitate the proposed redevelopment of lands known municipally as 780 Broadway (“Subject Property”) in the Town of Orangeville (“Town”).
2The Appellant is proposing to create a mixed-use development that would permit the construction of four three-storey “back-to-back” townhouse blocks with a total of 54 units, and a single, stand-alone multi-unit commercial building. Vehicular access to the site would be provided through one entrance location on Broadway and parking would be available underground for residents and above ground for commercial activities (the “Proposal”).
3The Official Plan Amendment (“OPA”) seeks to redesignate the Subject Property from Service Commercial to a site-specific Neighbourhood Commercial, which would permit low-density, multiple residential uses. The Zoning By-law Amendment (“ZBA”) seeks to rezone the Subject Property from C3 (Service Commercial) to C2 (Neighbourhood Commercial Special Exception Zone) which would permit both commercial and residential uses in either stand-alone or multi-use buildings. In addition, site-specific development criteria are proposed to address specific details such as permitted uses, building height, number of dwelling units and required yards. The subject property is currently vacant.
4During the first CMC, the Tribunal heard a request for Party Status from OPTrust Amaranth 1 Inc / OPTrust Amaranth 2 (“OPTrust”), which was opposed by the Appellant. The Town did not have a position on the request for Party Status. OPTrust shared its own Issues List for consideration as part of its presentation to the Tribunal.
5A draft Procedural Order (“PO”) was received by the Tribunal and the Appellant on August 10, 2023, from the Town. The Parties requested additional time to finalize a draft PO and IL, which was granted by the Tribunal.
6On consent of the Parties, it was agreed that a second CMC would include a status update and presentation of an agreed-upon draft PO for review and approval by the Tribunal. The Party Status request would also be addressed.
REQUEST FOR STATUS
7To summarize, OPTrust owns two parcels of land in the vicinity of the Subject Property, with one immediately adjacent to the Subject Property across Broadway (Highway 9) and zoned General Commercial (C1-4(H)) in the Township of Amaranth. Their application for Party status is based on a concern for land use compatibility should the Appellant’s proposal be approved. OPTrust is concerned that the introduction of increased residential density into this area could adversely impact the permitted and potential uses of their employment lands. The Appellant did not support the OPTrust request for Party status given that the parcel adjacent to the Subject Property is currently vacant, zoned to permit accessory dwelling units, and does not permit industrial use. Ms. McDermid opined that adding OP Trust would add time, additional witnesses and costs, which would unfairly prejudice her client.
8The Parties and OPTrust were provided with an opportunity to provide additional comments related to the Party Status request at this CMC and none were provided. OPTrust responded to questions of clarification from the Tribunal related to permitted uses on their adjacent property and confirmation that the property is currently vacant. Counsel for OPTrust indicated that there are currently no active applications for the adjacent property and it was confirmed that accessory dwellings are currently a permitted use on the adjacent property owned by OPTrust.
9The Tribunal denied the request for Party Status of OPTrust and found that granting the request would adversely impact the fair, just, and expeditious determination of the issues in this proceeding (Tribunal Rule 1.6) and notes in considering this request the Tribunal must balance the interests of adjacent landowners, the Town, and the Appellant. The Tribunal finds that the request for Party Status would not assist the Tribunal in adjudicating effectively and completely the issues in this proceeding as per Tribunal Rule 8.2, which states that in granting Party Status the “presence [of a Party] is necessary to enable the Tribunal to adjudicate effectively and completely on the issues in the proceeding.” The Tribunal finds that the Issues List agreed to by the Appellant and the Town addresses the primary concerns raised by OPTrust and it is anticipated they will be addressed by the expert witnesses of the Appellant and the Town.
10The Tribunal extended to OPTrust the option of requesting Participant Status in the proceedings with the consent of the Parties. Counsel for OPTrust indicated that they would consult with their client and submit a Participant Status application on or before September 8, 2023, if so desired.
11The Tribunal received notification from counsel for OPTrust on September 7, 2023, indicating that they would not be requesting Participant status.
UPDATE AND PLANNING
12Ms. McDermid provided an update to the Tribunal and indicated that there has been no reduction in the IL but there is a better understanding between the Parties related to the scope of the issues. She indicated that greater specificity provided by the town on the issues will be incorporated into the draft already submitted to the Tribunal. Mr. Biggart indicated support for this plan and consented that a final draft be re-submitted for Tribunal consideration and approval. The Parties requested that 15 days be scheduled for a Hearing of merits given the number of witnesses they expected would be required.
13The Parties indicated that they would remain open to mediation but felt it was premature to consider a formal move in that direction at this time.
14The Tribunal directed the Parties to finalize a draft PO and IL and submit it to the Case Coordinator on or before September 8, 2023 for consideration and approval by the Tribunal.
15The Tribunal received and approved the draft PO and IL on September 7, 2023.
16Appended to this Decision and Order as Schedule 1 is the PO and IL which will now govern all further pre-hearing procedural requirements and the hearing of this Appeal.
