The Vendor submitted an OPA, ZBA, and a Refusal to Grant Demolition Permit related to the Ontario Heritage Act to the municipality for approval and subsequently appealed the development to the OLT. The OPA seeks to introduce site-specific provisions to the Mixed Use Corridor - General land use designation that would allow a 33-story mixed-use building consisting of retail/service commercial uses at-grade and residential uses at a maximum density of 1,408 units per net hectare. The ZBA seeks to rezone the
Site and the portion of the City’s right-of-way from Mixed Use General (MXG) to Mixed Use General Site Specific 541 (H-MXG-541) and add site-specific exceptions. The OLT approved the development in May 2024 with an interim order allowing the development to move forward. The Vendor is required to submit a Heritage Conservation Plan and a heritage permit application to the satisfaction of the City, prior to the issuance of the final order.
