Approved in principle at LPAT:

FIMA Development v Toronto (City), 2021 CanLII 21943 (ON LPAT)

Revised proposal:

[12] The Revised Plans include the following key elements:


a. A public park representing 20% of the net site area (minimum 10,710 square metres ("sq m"));


b. Four towers instead of five towers, and new mid-rise buildings not previously applied for;


c. Adjustments to tower placements (south of Nova Road) and the setting of tower heights, in storeys and metres;


d. Adjustments to podium heights, in storeys and metres;


e. New public streets through the property including an extension of Nova Road westerly through the Subject Lands from North Queen Street to The Queensway, an extension of Boncer Road southerly to intersect with the Nova Road extension, and an extension of acquisition of lands in the Hydro Corridor to continue the extension of Boncer Road in the future;


f. Provision of Privately Owned, Publicly Accessible Open Spaces ("POPS");


g. Provision of 200 affordable rental housing units (100- one-bedroom units, 80 two-bedroom units and 20 three-bedroom units); and,


h. Provision of a child care centre to be conveyed to the City.




[13] The Revised Plans effect the development of eight 6 to 38 storey buildings, ranging in height from 20.95 m to 121.5 m, resulting in a total Gross Floor Area ("GFA") of 169,148 sq m comprised of 161,148 sq m of residential space and 8,000 sq m of non-residential space, and a Maximum Gross Site Floor Space Index ("FSI") of 2.805.



[14] The Revised Plans include the provision of 1,860 parking spaces (residential and commercial), and POPS being provided at the northwest corner of North Queen Street and The Queensway (1,000 sq m) and in the middle of the property, south of Nova Road (2,355 sq m).



[15] The development will occur in phases, in accordance with the Phasing Diagram prepared by Quadrangle Architects. The resulting phasing ensures that the community benefits being secured through the Section 37 agreement (including the public park, affordable housing and child care facility) and the pending Draft Plan of Subdivision (for road and other infrastructure improvements) are delivered in an appropriate manner and timing coincident with the development of the lands.

[30] The Tribunal orders that the appeals are allowed in part, and the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments to permit the development of the Subject Lands substantially in accordance with the Architectural Plan and Drawings marked Exhibit "Q" to the Affidavit of David McKay, are approved in principle.

Wow. I worked on this in 2012 and by then it was a few years old already...
