Additional materials to make the application complete were submitted on October 6, 2020. A Site Plan Control application was submitted on August 19, 2021. In July 2022, a new owner purchased the subject property from the previous applicant. Subsequently, on October 27, 2022, the new owner appealed the Zoning By-law and Site Plan applications to the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT") as a result of City Council not making a decision within the timeframe legislated by the Planning Act.

The heritage building continues to be incorporated into the proposed development. The revised proposal is the subject of the appeal before the OLT and this report.
