The application includes the reconfiguration of the terminus of Hollis Street into a new cul-de-sac. On August 18, 2022, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments to the Ontario Land Tribunal citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time period prescribed under the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference was held on November 23, 2022 (Ontario Land Tribunal Case OLT-22-004314). A 5-day hearing has been scheduled to start on June 5, 2023. On February 3, 2023, the applicant filed a revised site plan and profile section dated January 31, 2023 with the Ontario Land Tribunal for which it intended to seek the approval of the Ontario Land Tribunal. On February 13, 2023, the applicant again filed a revised site plan and profile section dated February 10, 2023 with the Ontario Land Tribunal, replacing the previously filed drawings. On February 24, 2023, the applicant filed a further revised site plan dated February 23, 2023 with the Ontario Land Tribunal, which supersedes the previous proposals filed with the Ontario Land Tribunal and is intended to be the revised proposal (the "Revised Proposal"). The Revised Proposal is in the comment section and is attached as Public Attachment 1 to this Report. Critical filing deadlines in the Ontario Land Tribunal proceedings will arise prior to the next meeting of City Council. The City Solicitor requires further instructions from City Council. This report has been prepared in consultation with staff from City Planning including Community Planning and Urban Design Staff.
