On April 28, 2022, a combined Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted for a development at 4884-4896 Dundas Street West to permit a 12-storey mixed-use building containing 225 residential units and 1214 square metres of retail space at-grade. The heritage building on the site is proposed to be retained and relocated. A revision was submitted on June 15, 2023 to permit a 29-storey mixed-use building containing 395 residential units and a total of 1322 square metres of at-grade retail space along Dundas Street West. The revision continues to retain the heritage building within the site but proposes to move it entirely out of the public right-of-way. On June 23, 2023, the applicant appealed the application to the Ontario Land Tribunal citing City Council's failure to make a decision on the application within the time period prescribed under the Planning Act. The site is also the subject of an associated application for Site Plan Control approval, which has not been appealed. A Case Management Conference was held on September 28, 2023 (OLT Case OLT-23-000654). City staff require direction from City Council in advance of the next Case Management Conference scheduled for the week of February 19, 2024. An Ontario Land Tribunal hearing has been scheduled from June 17 to 21, 2024. This report recommends that Council direct the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City staff, to attend the Case Management Conference and any future Ontario Land Tribunal hearing to oppose the application in its current form and to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve outstanding issues.
