On the agenda

As the city filed it

The owner appealed its Zoning By-law Amendment application for 778-788 King Street West to the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT") in the fall of 2023 due to Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time prescribed by the Planning Act. The original Zoning By-law Amendment application proposed an 18 storey (63.3 metre including mechanical penthouse) mixed use building, with approximately 373 residential dwelling units and retail uses at grade.
