On November 16, 2021 an Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendment application was submitted to permit the redesignation of the lands at 2, 4 and 80 Union Street from Core Employment Areas to Mixed Use Areas.

The Draft Plan of Subdivision Application was not included in the appeal. On April 23, 2025, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT") due to Council not making a decision within the timeframe prescribed by the Planning Act. On August 15, 2025, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing issued a Notice of Decision to approve the Keele St. Clair Secondary Plan (OPA 537) without any modifications, which is a final decision that brought OPA 537 into effect as of that date. This report recommends that the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff attend the OLT to oppose the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application in its current form and to continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve outstanding issues.
