University of Toronto St. George Campus Secondary Plan - Official Plan Amendment Application - Ontario Land Tribunal Hearing - Request for Directions

George Campus Secondary Plan ("Official Plan Amendment 582" or the "Secondary Plan"), as well as implementing Urban Design Guidelines for the lands generally bounded by Bloor Street West to the north, Spadina Avenue to the west, College Street to the south and an irregular boundary generally running along Bay Street to the east. City Council adopted the Secondary Plan and Urban Design Guidelines at its meeting on July 19 to 22, 2022. The adopted Secondary Plan builds on the existing planning framework, including the Downtown Plan, to provide area-specific policies regarding the public realm, built form and land uses. Following City Council's adoption of the Secondary Plan and Urban Design Guidelines, the Secondary Plan was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal by three appellants, including by the Toronto Catholic District School Board, which purported to appeal the Secondary Plan in its entirety, and which has not scoped its appeal on consent at this time. The City Solicitor requires further directions for the upcoming Ontario Land Tribunal hearing event, which has been scheduled for July 28, 2023. City Council's consideration of this matter should not be deferred beyond the conclusion of the June 14 to 16, 2023 meeting of City Council, because said meeting is the last opportunity available to the City Solicitor to obtain instructions sufficiently in advance of the hearing event to properly represent the City's interests in those proceedings. City Planning has been involved in the preparation of this report.
