MEMORANDUM OF ORAL DECISION DELIVERED BY STEVEN T. MASTORAS ON FEBRUARY 18, 2026, AND ORDER OF THE TRIBUNAL
INTRODUCTION
1This matter is a second Case Management Conference (“CMC”), resulting from appeals under sections 22(7) and 34(11) of the Planning Act (“Act”), in the City of Vaughan (“City”), for the City’s failure to adopt the requested Official Plan Amendment application (“OPA”) and the City’s refusal or neglect to make a decision regarding a Zoning By-law Amendment (“ZBA”) application (together “Applications” / “Appeals”).
2The Appeals were submitted by 2371933 Ontario Inc. (“SKY” / “Appellant” / “Applicant”) for lands municipally known as 7520, 7540, and 7560 Weston Road (“Subject Lands”). The Applicant is proposing a development consisting of two (2) mixed-use residential buildings with proposed heights of 42 and 45 storeys respectively, supported by a four-storey podium with a total of approximately 952 residential units, and 734.88 square metres of ground-floor commercial space, all serviced by 824 parking spaces and 670 bicycle parking spaces. The proposed development has an FSI of 8.76 (“Proposal”).
3A single Participant was conferred status at the first CMC, on January 28, 2026, noted as Gallu Construction Inc. (“Gallu”). At this second CMC, Kingsmoor Developments Inc. (“Kingsmoor”), as represented by Paul DeMelo, appeared to request Participant status with these Appeals. There were no objections or concerns from either the Appellant or the City, and, therefore, Participant status was conferred to Kingsmoor, in relation to these Appeals.
REQUEST FOR MERIT HEARING
4SKY is seeking the scheduling of a Merit Hearing at the Tribunal’s discretion at some time in the Fall of 2026, for approximately ten (10) days.

P1TH is scheduled to commence for up to ten (10) days, beginning on Monday, August 10, 2026. The other Tribunal Case Nos. include OLT-25-000288, OLT-25-000892, and more recently, OLT-26-000088 (together the “P1TH Parties”).
6Matter OLT-25-000288, is scheduled to commence its Merit Hearing on Monday, October 26, 2026 (for ten days), and the other two matters above are awaiting CMCs, respectively, that will address their Site-Specific matters, in the course of their own Merit Hearings, subject to the Tribunal’s calendar.
