Toronto (City)
BEFORE: G.A. CROSER ) Thursday, the 17th MEMBER ) day of October, 2024
THIS MATTER, in respect of the lands at 2200-2206 Eglinton Avenue East, 76 Thermos Road and 1020-1030 Birchmount Road in the City of Toronto, having come before the Ontario Land Tribunal (“Tribunal”) for a public hearing on August 3, 2022 and the Tribunal having issued a Decision on October 31, 2022, and subsequent Case Management Conferences being held with the most recent on January 31, 2024 and the Tribunal having issued that Decision/Order on February 6, 2024; and
THE TRIBUNAL having been advised by the Parties on October 2, 2024 that a full uncontested settlement had been reached, on consent;
AND THE TRIBUNAL upon reviewing the evidence of Benjamin Hoff RPP(“Hoff”), and the conditions of the Draft Plan of Subdivision is satisfied that the Draft Plan of Subdivision ("DPOS") and Conditions before the Tribunal are acceptable and meet the criteria under subsection 51(24) of Section 51 of the Planning Act. Further, the Tribunal accepts the opinion evidence of Hoff, that the DPOS and Conditions are necessary to ensure the orderly redevelopment of the Subject Site to construct, in development phases and blocks, a high-density, transit orientated, mixed-use development. The DPOS divides the site into lots that are an appropriate size for their intended use, it will create a network of new public streets, provide appropriate connections to the existing street framework, and include a combined public parkland dedication of approximately 0.58 hectares;
THE TRIBUNAL FURTHER finds that the application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, conforms with the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2019 and Amendment 1, 2020, and conforms with and implement Site and Area Specific Policy 625 and Site-Specific Zoning By-law Amendment, which were approved by the Tribunal on August 3, 2022. The Tribunal accepts the evidence of Hoff that the DPOS and Conditions adhere to the implementation and phasing provisions of the instruments previously approved by the Tribunal, which are intended to ensure that the new development is coordinated with the incremental implementation of the street network, the delivery of municipal services and transportation infrastructure, and the conveyance of public parkland, amongst other matters. The Settlement before the Tribunal has appropriate regard for matters of provincial interest, in particular the orderly development of safe and healthy communities, provision of a range of housing options, and is transit-supportive. This application represents good land use planning that is in the public interest.
THE TRIBUNAL ORDERS that the Plan of Subdivision Appeal is allowed, in part, and that the draft Plan of Subdivision, as prepared by KRCMAR Surveyors Ltd., on April 14, 2024, and included as Attachment "1" to this Order is approved,
THE TRIBUNAL ORDERS that the Conditions to the approval of draft Plan of Subdivision as identified in Attachment "2" to this Order are imposed on the approval pursuant to subsections 51(25) and (26) of the Planning Act. The Tribunal also orders that final approval of the plan of subdivision for the purposes of subsection 51(58) of the Planning Act is given to the City of Toronto pursuant to subsection 51(56.1) of the Planning Act.
