City planning page was updated today to say that this application has been appealed.
Though I'm confused because York (the developer) first submitted this zoning application almost 8 years ago, and it never made it to Council for a vote, and they appealed the application to the OLT now in 2024.......
For reference, College Ave is a small street that runs west of Richmond, north of Oxford and south of Grosvenor.
Yet this application has already been appealed by York a few months ago. My guess is that city planning staff and York came to an agreement and it'd be faster to get this application approved through Council this month rather than jump through all the hoops at the OLT which can take months (or even longer than a year).
Either way, I think this is a nice infill in a great location.
Its ideal for the area and of course the local Nimbys were against it. OLT process can often take 18 plus months unless the appeal is dropped or in the best case the OLT rejects the appeal from the get go. The OLT needs to be much more proactive in terms of rejecting junk appeals in order to reduce their backlog and workload.
