The City of Toronto appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision granting a temporary variance to permit an Entertainment Place of Assembly at 131 McCormack Street.

The parties reached a settlement prior to the hearing, proposing revised conditions for a two-year temporary approval to allow the owner to seek a zoning by-law amendment.

The Toronto Local Appeal Body allowed the appeal, set aside the Committee's decision, and approved the variance subject to the agreed-upon conditions, including a requirement to enter into an agreement with the City under s. 45(9.1) of the Planning Act to secure operational controls.

The appellant appealed a Committee of Adjustment decision refusing a consent to sever and associated minor variances.

On the day of the hearing, the appellant's representative requested an adjournment due to illness.

The TLAB denied the adjournment, noting that a previous adjournment had been granted, procedural rules for adjournment requests were not followed, and significant resources had been expended to prepare for the hearing.

Following the denial, the appellant withdrew the appeal.

The TLAB dismissed the appeal as abandoned, rendering the Committee of Adjustment's refusal final and binding.

The Ontario Land Tribunal held a first Case Management Conference regarding appeals of a City of Toronto by-law designating the Kensington Market Heritage Conservation District.

The Tribunal granted a request to substitute HSRE-Parallax 1, LP as an appellant in place of BRL Realty Limited due to a transfer of land ownership.

A five-day video hearing was scheduled for June 2026, and a Procedural Order was approved to govern the proceedings.

The City of Toronto appealed the Committee of Adjustment's approval of a minor variance application for a laneway suite.

The parties reached a settlement and requested a written hearing.

The Tribunal found a written hearing appropriate under Rule 24.6, as it would be more efficient and no prejudice or credibility issues were involved.

The matter was converted to a written hearing with fixed filing deadlines.
