An Application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for 75-81 Billy Bishop Way (the "Subject Lands") was submitted to the City, and after satisfying the City's minimum application requirements was deemed complete on July 21, 2025.

The Proposal includes 149,161 square metres of residential gross floor area; 2,493 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, including a child care centre; and a centralized privately-owned public space. On March 24, 2026, the applicant appealed the Proposal to the Ontario Land Tribunal citing Council's failure to make a decision within the timeframe specific by the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference with the Ontario Land Tribunal has been scheduled for June 18. 2026. This Report recommends that City Council instruct the City Solicitor, with the appropriate City Staff, to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal Hearing to oppose the Proposal in its current form and to continue discussions with the Applicant to resolve the outstanding issues in advance of a Hearing.
