On September 28, 2022, the Applicant appealed the application to the Ontario Land Tribunal due to City Council not making a decision within the time frame legislated by the Planning Act. City Planning Staff do not support the application in its current form, as issues related to built form, massing, setbacks, and separation distance have not been appropriately addressed. The Applicant has also not coordinated with the adjacent landowners with regard to built form, transition and the provision of municipal infrastructure. This report recommends that the City Solicitor, with the appropriate City staff, attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing to oppose the application in its current form. The report also recommends that staff be authorized to continue discussions with the Applicant to resolve outstanding issues.
