OLT releases decision on 5111 New St. development
Posted on Tuesday, December 06, 2022 03:00 PM
Burlington, Ont.—Dec. 6, 2022—Last week, the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) released its decision in the appeal for the development at 5111 New St.
In 2020, the Tribunal approved a settlement between the City and Appellant to permit infill development of three multi-unit residential buildings of nine, 12 and 12 stories at the Appleby Village Plaza at Appleby Line and New Street. The Tribunal had withheld its order confirming the approval of the settlement while the City and the Appellant provided the Official Plan Amendments (OPA) and Zoning Bylaw Amendment (ZBA) in their final forms.
During this time, the Appellant refined its development concept to include retirement home use. In September 2022, Burlington City Council approved an amendment to the Offer to Settle to include ‘retirement home’ as a permitted use. The parties provided the OPA and ZBA in their final form and the Tribunal issued its decision confirming the Tribunal’s order.
