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, to the Ontario Land Tribunal on November 24, 2023. Following an approximately 5 week hearing, the Ontario Land Tribunal approved the applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning by-law in a decision dated October 10, 2025. City Council has directed the City Solicitor to seek leave to appeal the decision to the Divisional Court, as well as to seek judicial review of the decision. The City Solicitor requires further instruction on this matter. For reasons set out in Confidential Attachment 1 this matter is urgent and should not be deferred.
