Looks like this was the old application that was before LPAT.

It has been revised to a 54-storey tower as per: https://pub-richmondhill.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=38436

They withdrew this plan in November 2021 and stated to council they would come back with a new revised plan which has not happened yet. Nothing is aproved for this site.
The motel has since been converted to a sales centre likely for their other site at 9929 Yonge which is approved for development.
 
Metroview submitted a revised application that reduces the height of the development from a 54 storey to a 30 storey building.
Council supports the revised development proposal.

A bit stubby, IMO. Could add 5 stories or so to it. The Grand Genesis just up the street could also use 2-4 extra stories in each tower, so that’s three stubby towers in the area.
 
The database has been updated with stats & rendering of the 30-storey design, from the Special Council Meeting Report:
