The application was deemed complete on November 18, 2016, after the applicant submitted an application for an Official Plan Amendment on October 25, 2016. The Official Plan Amendment requested relief from Policy 3.2.1.9 of the Official Plan, which requires that large residential developments, seeking an increase in height and/or density, provide an opportunity to achieve a mix of housing in terms of types and affordability by, among other means, providing as a first priority community benefit, 20 per cent of the additional residential units as affordable housing. The applicant appealed City Council's neglect or failure to make a decision on its applications for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments (the "Appeals") to the Ontario Municipal Board, now continued as the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") on November 1, 2017. The purpose of this report is to request further instructions for a matter that has been appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. This report has been prepared in consultation with City Planning staff and other relevant divisions.
