On March 6, 2023 the City received a Zoning By-law and Official Plan Amendment application for 155 St. Dennis Drive (the "Site") to permit the construction of four (4) residential towers ranging in height between 42 to 56 storeys linked by a 2-storey base building. The development proposes 2,170 residential units, 135,413 square metres of residential gross floor area, and approximately 348 square metres of non-residential gross floor area.

The application proposes that 5 percent of the residential gross floor area (approximately 6,771 square metres) would be allocated to affordable housing. The site has an overall area of 169,361 square metres, of which, the applicant proposes to develop 7,643 square metres of the site with residential towers, and the remainder of the lands, approximately 16 hectares, would be conveyed to a public agency as open space. A total of 405 vehicle parking spaces are proposed in 4 levels of underground parking. The application was deemed complete as of August 1, 2023. City Council refused the applications at its meeting of November 8, 2023 and the applicant appealed that refusal (the "Appeal"), to the Ontario Land Tribunal on November 24, 2023. The City Solicitor requires further directions for upcoming Ontario Land Tribunal hearings scheduled to begin March 31, 2025. For reasons set out in Confidential Attachment 1 this matter is urgent.
